Should the contract be terminated in this way or another due to a reason attributable to the exhibitor, the exhibitor is liable to pay for the payments that have become due, which shall remain with the organiser, in addition to payments that have already been paid.
Exhibition and dismantling
The exhibitors are responsible for setting up, decorating, dismantling and cleaning their stands as well as for transports and related costs. When setting up the stand, one should take into account that the activities take place within one's own stand.
Messukeskus is responsible for building and dismantling ready-built stands.
The organiser has the right to check and reject, if needed, plans regarding the construction and decoration of a stand.
The exhibitor shall agree upon special structures, e.g. over 250 cm high structures and decorations as well as of the placing of heavy (over 1,000 kg) exhibits with the organiser and Messukeskus. The use of special structures may inflict additional charges upon the exhibitor.
The organiser has the right to remove such exhibits that endanger or disturb other exhibitors or the public.
Messukeskus will send the exhibitor more information about ordering exhibition structures etc. by the end of August.
Before starting the dismantling of the stands, one should take into account the general feel and good spirit of the exhibition and let the exhibition area be available for all visitors as long as the GIS Expo is open.
The exhibitor shall remove equipment and furnishings belonging to the exhibitor by the end of the rental period on 19 November 2019 at 18:00.
Exhibitor's liability and insurance
The organiser pays for the fire protection, the locking of the rooms and takes care of general security of the exhibition area.
The exhibitors shall during the entire event (including the time reserved for the construction and dismantling of the event) be liable for the structures of their own stands, for materials, furniture and equipment that have been brought to the space, and for any damage that these may cause the property or third parties. For this reason, the exhibitors are responsible for buying any general insurance or third-party insurance that they deem necessary.
If the exhibitor causes damage to the rented exhibition space or equipment or installations located there or changes them in such a way that changing them back would involve costs for the organiser, the exhibitor must pay compensation for such damage and costs, whether the damage is due to intentional or unintentional actions by the exhibitor.
The exhibitor is responsible for clearing out or reinstating the rented exhibition space into the condition it was in before the start of the rental period. Otherwise, the renter shall pay compensation for costs incurred by the organiser for clearing out or otherwise reinstating the space into its previous condition.
Exhibition materials and personal belongings are the responsibility of the exhibitors. If your exhibition space contains easily removable small items, do not leave it at your stand without supervision. After the exhibition has closed, take your personal belongings with you or store them in locked cabinets.
