The Exhibitor is responsible for compliance with these GTCs also by his personnel participating in the trade fair.

    2. The exhibitor is obliged to occupy the rented area with the goods or related articles specified for the exhibition theme.

In this case no refund of the stand fee or other services paid will be made.
    10. The organizer is not liable for damage or loss of goods and other stand material, even if the organizer has commissioned a security company for general surveillance and entrance checks. The organizer shall not be liable for damage to persons or objects or for loss of objects belonging to the exhibitor (e.g. theft) for reasons beyond the organizer’s control or for other damage caused by third parties, unless the organizer can be proven to have grossly negligently violated its contractually agreed obligations.
    11. The organizer can, but does not have to, arbitrate between dealers or between dealers and private customers.

  8. Legal Terms

    Should one or more provisions of these terms and conditions be invalid in whole or in part, this shall
