If the Exhibitor is a legal person, its duly authorised representative must be present at the handover.
  2. The Exhibitor can start the installation of the Exposition only after the Exhibition Area is handed over by way of a Handover Protocol. If the Exhibitor starts to install the Exposition in the Exhibition Area before the official handover, it is deemed that the Exhibition Area was handed over free of any defects or deficiencies and the Exhibitor undertakes to sign the protocol subsequently, without the possibility to lodge any claims or complaints in relation to the Exhibition Area.
  3. After the installation of the Exposition, the Exhibitor shall put together photographic documentation of its Exposition and a list of all exhibited items and their purchase price.
  4. The Exhibitor can start to deinstall the Exposition only after the closing of the Exhibition. An early deinstallation of the Exposition is not permitted.

The Organiser's right to payment of the contractual penalty does not exclude claims arising from damages.

After the deinstallation of the Exposition, the Exhibition Area must be returned to its original state and handed over by way of a protocol, i.e., by way of signing a Handover Protocol by the Organiser. The Exhibitor must be present in person at the handover. An Exhibitor who is a natural person must be personally present at the handover of the Exhibition Area. In the case of an Exhibitor that is a legal person, its duly authorised representative must be present at the handover.

  6. Article V.
    Rights and Obligations Related to the Event

    1. The Exhibitor, meaning solely the Exhibitor for whom the Exhibition Area is intended, can use the Exhibition Area only during the Event and in compliance with the aim of this contractual relationship and in compliance with the safety instructions stipulated in Section C of the General Terms and Conditions.
    2. The Exhibitor is not entitled to transfer the right to use the Exhibition Area to a third party or to use the Exhibition Areas together with a third party, or to present other persons in this space, unless that information had been notified in the application and therefore approved by the Organiser. The Organiser has the right to remove an Exposition that violates this provision and is entitled to claim a contractual penalty of CZK 50,000 for each individual violation of this provision. The Organiser's right to payment of the contractual penalty does not exclude claims arising from damages.
    3. The Exhibitor is entitled to organise its own events within the Exhibition Area, provided that the Organiser has given its prior consent. If the prior consent is granted, the Organiser provides the Exhibitor with a list of partners of the Event, i.e., official exclusive partners as well as other providers. The Exhibitor undertakes to comply, throughout the entire duration of its event, with all the conditions laid down by the Organiser, especially to respect official exclusive partners and to restrain from promoting products of competitors. The Exhibitor shall submit the list of its suppliers to the Organiser for approval.
    4. The Exhibitor shall arrange and pay for the insurance of the Exposition. The insurance policy must provide coverage in cases of force majeure, in particular damage caused by natural forces.
    5. The Organiser reserves the right to use photography or other visual or sound recordings capturing the Exhibitor, its authorial works, directly or indirectly its Exhibition Area, and other items protected by intellectual property rights, especially for the purposes of promoting other events of the Organiser or the Exhibitor itself. By entering into this Agreement, the Exhibitor agrees with the above without any right to compensation.
    6. The Exhibitor has the right to lodge a claim about any defects or deficiencies of the Exhibition Area or services provided by the Organiser during the Event. The moment at which a claim is lodged is considered to be the moment when the Organiser was notified of the defect by the Exhibitor. The notification may also be made electronically via the contacts specified in the General Terms and Conditions. The Exhibitor is obliged to report the defect without undue delay, once it was able to discover it in a timely inspection and with sufficient care. Such deficiency has to be notified without delay upon its discovery, otherwise the right to lodge a claim related to the liability for defects is lost.
