TERMS AND CONDITION
General Terms of Participation (A)
TECHNICAL GUIDELINES
A 1. Application
All potential exhibitors wishing to take part in the event must express their wish to do so by fully completing and signing the "Application form" and submitting it to Messe Muenchen GmbH (Messe München). Messe München is entitled and authorized by Messe Muenchen India to act and invoice on behalf of Messe Muenchen India. With the application, exhibitors express to Messe Muenchen India their serious interest in taking part in the event as exhibitors. All exhibits must be described precisely on the application form. Incomplete applications cannot be considered.
A 2. Eligible exhibits and exhibitors
The Participation Conditions Aand B as well as the Technical Guidelines are accepted as legally binding with submission of application documents. The application of the exhibitor represents the contractual offer. The admission or rejection will be confirmed to the exhibitor in writing in due time. Admission cannot be transferred.
The contract between Messe Muenchen India and the exhibitor is concluded with the admission. According to this contract, Messe Muenchen India is authorized to assign a online space area to an exhibitor, which might deviate from the information in the registration unless these deviations are unacceptable for the exhibitor. A deviation is considered acceptable if Messe Muenchen India does not receive the exhibitor´s rejection of the assignment of the online listing within one week. The exhibitor does not have any more far-reaching rights. Exhibitors do not have a legal claim to admission unless such a claim results from the law. Exhibitors who have not fulfilled their financial obligations to Messe Muenchen India, e.g., in respect of previous events, or have infringed the regulations governing the use of the event grounds, or the terms of participation, may be excluded from admission. Messe Muenchen India is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to terminate the contractual relationship forthwith without notice if admission was based on incorrect or incomplete statements by the exhibitor, or if, at a later date, the exhibitor no longer fulfils the conditions for admission. Only declared and admitted articles shall be exhibited. Messe Muenchen India has the right to remove any other exhibits at the exhibitor's risk and expense
Hired or leased articles shall not be exhibited. Messe Muenchen India is entitled to remove such objects at the exhibitor's risk and expense. An exception is made in the case of objects which are not part of the exhibitor's range of goods, but which are required for their display (e.g. for demonstration purposes). Space will be allocated according to Messe Muenchen India's requirements and the prevailing conditions, and in accordance with the classification system for the trade fair as applied by Messe Muenchen India at its own discretion, and not according to the order in which applications are received.
A 3. Online Rental contract
The application of the exhibitor represents the contractual offer. The admission or rejection will be confirmed to the exhibitor in writing in due time. Admission cannot be transferred. The online rental contract comes into force when the organizer has notified the exhibitor in writing that he is admitted. This generally occurs when the listing has been confirmed by both sides. According to this contract, the organizer is authorized to assign an online listing to an exhibitor, which might deviate from the information in the application unless these deviations are unacceptable for the exhibitor. A deviation is considered acceptable if the organizer does not receive the exhibitor´s rejection of the assignment of the stand area within one week.
A 4. Cancelling the contract
If the online listing by the exhibitor are subsequently changed so much that the exhibitor can no longer be reasonably expected to accept the exhibition area, the exhibitor is entitled to withdraw from the online rental contract within one week of receiving written notification by Messe Muenchen India or Messe München. Otherwise, apart from the statutory rights to withdraw from the contract, the exhibitor has no right to withdraw from this contract. If the exhibitor states that he is withdrawing from the contract, this means – regardless whether he has the right to withdraw from the contract or not – that he is renouncing once and for all his intention to take part in the trade fair. If the exhibitor states that he is withdrawing from the contract and thus renounces once and for all his intention to take part in the online trade fair, If the exhibitor has stated that he is withdrawing from the contract, although he has no right to do so, the exhibitor is obliged to pay the participation fee. In addition, the exhibitor must pay 50 % of the agreed participation fee as flat-rate compensation for expenses incurred by Messe Muenchen India because the exhibitor has withdrawn from the contract without being entitled to do so and has thus, contrary to his duty, cancelled his participation in the online trade fair. Messe Muenchen India's right to claim further damages remains unaffected. The exhibitor can demand that the flat-rate compensation be reduced if he proves that Messe Muenchen India has sustained less damage.
Messe Muenchen India is entitled to withdraw or to terminate the contract if the exhibitor fails to meet his financial obligations to Messe Muenchen India on time, Messe Muenchen India has the right but not the obligation to extend the deadline by five (5) days and this deadline for payment has not been met. Messe Muenchen India is also entitled to withdraw or to terminate the contract if the exhibitor neglects his duty arising from this contract to respect Messe Muenchen India's rights, objects of legal protection and interests and Messe Muenchen India can no longer reasonably be expected to adhere to the contract or if the exhibitor fails to comply with rules and regulations as required for his performance of the contract under this document.
In the aforementioned cases Messe Muenchen India is entitled not only to withdraw or to terminate the contract but also to demand from the exhibitor the agreed participation fee as flat-rate compensation. Messe Muenchen India's right to claim further damages remains unaffected. The exhibitor can demand that the flat-rate compensation be reduced if he proves that Messe Muenchen India has sustained less damage.
Following issued acknowledgement, a compensation shall be charged when the exhibitor withdraws from the contract:
Earlier than 2 weeks before the show - 50% of the participation fee
Within 2 weeks before the show - 100% of the participation fee
A 5. Force majeure, cancellation of the event
If Messe Muenchen India is compelled, as a result of force majeure or other circumstances beyond its control (e.g. failure of the power supply), or to postpone or curtail the trade fair, the exhibitors do not thereby acquire the right to withdraw or cancel, nor do they have any other claims against Messe Muenchen India, in particular claims for damages. If Messe Muenchen India cancels the event because it cannot hold the event as a result of force majeure or other circumstances beyond its control, or because it has become unreasonable for Messe Muenchen India to hold the event, Messe Muenchen India is not liable for damages and disadvantages to exhibitors arising from the cancellation of the event.
A 6. Participation fees
The participation fees are calculated in accordance with the rates specified in the Special Terms of Participation (see part B "Participation fees").
The applicant shall be invoiced for 100 % of the projected participation price shortly after receiving his written admission confirmation. This payment will be refunded if the applicant is not admitted to the online expo, but will be forfeited if unilaterally the applicant withdraws totally from the undertaking. Payment of the invoices is due immediately unless other payment deadlines are stated in the invoices. Terms and conditions of payment are in accordance with the Special Terms of Participation (see part B "Terms of payment"). Messe Muenchen India reserves the right to enforce the lessor's lien, as permitted by law, in order to secure Messe Muenchen India's claims arising from the online participation. The exhibitor must inform Messe Muenchen India at any time about the ownership of articles, which are exhibited or to be exhibited.
A 7. Complaint
Complaints about any defects in the space or exhibition platform are to be made in writing to Messe Muenchen India immediately, so that Messe Muenchen India can remedy such defects. Later complaints cannot be considered and cannot give rise to claims against Messe Muenchen India
A 8. Liability and insurance
Messe Muenchen India shall only be liable for any direct damage caused to the exhibitor for any gross negligence, fraud or misrepresentation of Messe Muenchen India or its employees or legal representatives and in no case shall Messe Muenchen India be liable for any indirect or consequential damage suffered by the exhibitor. Not with standing anything contained herein, Messe Muenchen India's liability towards any exhibitor shall be capped at INR 1,00,000 only. Each exhibitor is obligated to take out suitable insurance with sufficient insurance coverage with an insurer registered in the Republic of India and to pay the premiums incurred (including insurance tax) in good time.
A 9. Intellectual property rights
Messe Muenchen India expects exhibitors to respect the intellectual property rights of other exhibitors. For this end, Messe Muenchen India is entitled but not obliged to set up an Intellectual Property Complaint Office (IP Office) for each online expo, whose purpose shall be to support exhibitors in cases of infringement of their IP rights by other exhibitors. If it is proved to Messe Muenchen India, by presentation of a court decision, that an exhibitor has infringed the intellectual property rights of another exhibitor with the articles on display, printed papers, advertising materials, or otherwise, then Messe Muenchen India is entitled, although not obliged, to remove from the offender's online listing the exhibits, printed matter, or advertising material causing such infringement and to impound them until the end of the trade fair, to close the offender's stand, and/or to expel him and his staff from the trade fair grounds. Messe Muenchen India is also entitled to exclude the offender from future trade fairs. If such measures prove unjustified, no claim for damages can be made against Messe Muenchen India, unless the latter is guilty of gross negligence or wrongful intent. Without Prejudice to the generality of clause the exhibitor agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified Messe Muenchen India from and against any action, liability, penalty, prosecution, cost charges, expenses, damages or claim of whatsoever nature arising from or resulting from the infringement or violation of the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party/other exhibitor by the exhibitor
