- The stand is free, but a maximum of 2 meters can be booked. One ticket and one chair will be provided per registration.
- Electricity cannot be provided.
General booth information:
- Exhibitors are not permitted to be in other areas at the same time, e.g. Artist Alley, 18+ Area etc. If this is the case, your registration will be immediately excluded.
- The Cosplay Village will be locked in the evening (during the parties), entry is not permitted.
- Dismantling before the end of the official event times is not permitted. If a stand has not been cleared by the end of the specified dismantling time, the organizer reserves the right to clear the stand at the expense of the exhibitor/dealer.
- The organizer is not liable for damage caused by third parties or for theft of the goods.
- The placement of goods and/or advertising material outside of the stand area is not permitted and may lead to extra costs or, if repeated, to exclusion.
- Walls must not be taped over or damaged in any other way. Exceptions can be made after consultation
- Exhibitors and dealers will be asked to dispose of the rubbish (generated in their area at the event). The stand equipment must be returned in perfect condition after the end of the event. After the end of the event, the dealer/exhibitor must leave the area he has used clean and swept. If this is not the case, the organizer reserves the right to charge for any necessary cleaning. Restoration and replacement of damaged, destroyed or lost items of furniture can only be carried out by the organizer and at the expense of the exhibitor/dealer. Pay particular attention to adhesive tape residues on the tables.
- The stand area may not be changed (e.g. expanded) during the event. In case of violation, fees will be charged.
- Advertising measures (e.g. flyers) are unrestricted on your own stand (within the framework of regular con operations), and in the event rooms only in consultation with the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to reject registrations without giving reasons.
- The conclusion of the contract does not entitle the exhibitor/dealer to be allocated a specific place, but his wishes will be taken into account. The exchange of stands between the approved exhibitors/dealers requires the prior consent of the organizer. Stand areas rented by the organizer may not be sublet or re-let.
Withdrawal/non-participation:
- If the stand cannot be occupied due to unforeseen events on the part of the exhibitor/dealer, the organizer must be informed immediately. The stands that are not occupied at 12:00 p.m. on the first day of the event can be assigned to someone else and charged for by the organizer.
Products offered for sale:
- Selling at these tables is generally not permitted, with the exception of print products (photos, buttons, etc. showing your work), as otherwise it would not be fair to the artists in Artist Alley!
- The sale of rejected items can be prohibited by the organizer. In the event of repeated violations, the organizer reserves the right to have the stand cleared and to impose a ban on the dealer.
- The sale of Al Art products is also prohibited.
Protection of minors:
- It should be noted that many of the event visitors are minors, which is why adult, violence-glorifying and pornographic goods may only be exhibited and sold in the 18+ area.
- Goods that are not suitable for minors may also not be handed out in the public area, even on request and against age control. Also included under goods that are only permitted in the area of the 18+ stands are nude motifs without an explicit sexual/erotic context, as well as illustrations that are clothed in the most vulgar regions ( e.g. lingerie, bikinis) but assume provocative and/or sexually suggestive poses. The same applies to Ahegao products, as well as figures, mangas/doujinshis, artbooks and animes from the Yaoi, Yuri, Hentai, Horror, Splatter, Gore and sometimes Ecchi genres.
Liability and insurance:
- Insurance of items brought by the dealer against damage, burglary, theft, fire/water/transport damage is the sole responsibility of the dealer. The dealer is liable for damage caused to third parties or the organizer at the stand.
- The organizer cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the use of its own stand equipment (including electronic devices).
Non-compliance with the conditions of participation:
- If the conditions of participation are violated and continued despite a warning from the organizer, the organizer has the right to exclude the dealer/exhibitor from the event with immediate effect. An excluded dealer/exhibitor is not entitled to any reimbursement of costs. In the event of gross violations, the organizer reserves the right to report this to the relevant authorities.
Fulfillment and jurisdiction:
- Place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes between exhibitors/partners and the organizer is Graz. Austrian law applies to all disputes, including those with a foreign connection.
Partial nullity clause:
- Should a provision of these Conditions of Participation be/become invalid or incomplete, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In this case, the ineffective condition will be interpreted in such a way that it comes as close as possible to the originally intended purpose.
