    Thank You, Exhibitor

    As an Exibitor

    1

    I understand my payment is non-refundable.

    2

    I understand I must bring my own table, chair(s), and tent and that I/my staff am solely responsible for setup/breakdown of all my equipment. Setup/breakdown assistance from event staff will not be provided.

    3

    I understand my tent must be properly secured. Tent weights are REQUIRED to ensure stability in the event of inclement weather. Tents may be located on grass or hard top surfaces so vendors should be prepared for either

    4

    I understand that (excluding handicapped access needs) I cannot request a special booth location

    5

    I understand there may be other vendors at the festival offering similar products/services as mine. The Franklin Day Committee cannot provide vendor exclusivity. To maintain a variety of offerings to attendees, the Franklin Day Committee also reserves the right to limit the number of vendors in each category

    6

    I understand that I (not the committee) am responsible for contacting my management and/or internal representative to avoid brand duplication at the festival.  

    7

    I understand that NO external audio devices are allowed at my booth (e.g., megaphone, speakers, boom box, microphone, etc.)

    8

    I understand that the non-profit discount rate is only available to those organizations with a 501c3 tax exempt status.  If I cannot provide a 501c3 tax exempt number, I will pay the business rate

    9

    I understand and have read the entire exhibitor application package (pages 1 through 7).
