General conditions

• Generalities

The arrangements and organisation of the International Exhibition of Raw Materials for Perfumery (SIMPPAR) and, in particular, its opening dates, duration, location at which it will be held, opening and closing times, are determined by the organiser and may be changed at its initiative.

PARTICIPATION

• Conditions of Participation

The organiser determines the categories of exhibitor and establishes the nomenclature for the products and/or services presented.

• Application Form

Any company wishing to exhibit must apply to the organiser in order to take part. Unless the organiser declines the application, submitting such an application amounts to a firm and irrevocable commitment to pay the whole of the price for renting the stand and related costs.

• Controlling admissions

The organiser is not bound to substantiate its decisions on applications to participate.

• Assignment

Subletting Unless the organiser gives prior written authorisation, no exhibitor may assign, sublet or share all or part of its concession within the confines of the exhibition hall, either free of charge or for payment.

• Withdrawal

In case of withdrawal or non-occupation of the stand for any reason whatsoever, the sums paid and/or remaining due, in part or in full, in respect of renting the stand, accrue to the organiser even in the event of re-letting to another exhibitor.

In the case where an exhibitor does not occupy its stand at the opening of the exhibition for any reason whatsoever, he will be treated as having withdrawn. The organiser may then make free use of the defaulting exhibitor’s stand without the latter being able to claim either any refund or compensation, even if the stand is allocated to another exhibitor.

• Cancellation

- In the case of cancellation by the exhibitor no later than 120 days before the event's opening date, a full refund for the booth may be issued.

- In the case of cancellation between 90 and 119 days before the event's opening date, 50% of the booth cost will be refunded.

- In the case of cancellation within 89 days preceding the opening date, no refund will be possible.

FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION

• Prices

The price of the stands is determined by the organiser and may be revised in case of any change in the factors which make it up, in particular in case of change in the price of materials, labour, transport and services together with tax and social provisions.

• Payment terms and conditions

Payment for rental of the stand and related costs is made at the instalment dates and according to the terms and conditions determined by the organiser and communicated to the exhibitor in the registration dossier

• Failure to pay

Should an exhibitor fail to pay by the due date in accordance with the terms and conditions of payment covered in the previous article, the organiser shall be authorised to apply the provisions of the article “Withdrawal”.

BOOTH

• Allocation of the booths

The organiser designs the plan and lay-out of the exhibition freely and decides the location of the stands, taking into account, as much as possible, exhibitors’ preferences and the date was of registration

• Lay-out and Decoration of the booth

The lay-out of the stands is designed in accordance with the general plan drawn up by the organiser. Each exhibitor is free to decorate their own stand and any special decoration is carried at their liability. Any decoration must comply with the safety regulations laid down by the public authority as well as with the general scheme of decoration and signage finalised by the organiser.

• Reinstatement

The organiser declines all liability relating to installations put up by exhibitors. Exhibitors take the locations on an “as is” basis and must restore it to the same condition. Any deterioration caused by an exhibitor or his installations, equipment/materials or merchandise is at the charge of that exhibitor.

• Set-up and Break-down

The organiser determines the schedule for setting up and installing the stands before the exhibition opens. It also determines the schedule for dismantling, removal of equipment, materials and products as well as the time limits for cleaning and tidying up after the exhibition. With regard to the particular question of dismantling, removal and restoration, the organiser may have any work not completed by the exhibitor within the allotted time carried out by a third party at the cost and liability of the exhibitor. Should an exhibitor fail to meet the deadline for occupying the sites, the organiser will be authorised to claim payment of penalty charges for delay and damages.

• Exhibitors’ Insurance

It is obligatory for each exhibitor to hold an insurance policy providing cover against damage or harms caused to third parties, including the other exhibitors and for which it might be held personally liable, and for damage caused to equipment and the products they are exhibiting at the International Exhibition of Raw Materials for Perfumery. Proof of this insurance policy must be sent to the T.A/EVENTS no later than one month before the start of the exhibition.
