Terms of Service
Brandboxx Salzburg GmbH
1. Registration
Registration is a binding and irrevocable offer for the exhibitor. Additions and changes to the registration form and the terms and conditions are ineffective. By submitting the registration, the exhibitor accepts the full content of the General Terms and Conditions. These terms and conditions apply mutatis mutandis to all other services and additional orders such as assembly and dismantling of the exhibition stand, rental of exhibition equipment, provision of electricity, water and other facilities.
2. Allocation of places
Upon receipt (post, fax, e-mail, etc.) of the registration by the organizer, the exhibitor is obliged to participate in the trade fair or event. The organizer is not obliged to accept the offer. A registration is taken into account in accordance with the available exhibition space. Submitting the registration form does not guarantee that an exhibition space will be allocated. The exhibition space is allocated solely by the organizer and according to a product group structure. The admission and thus the acceptance of the offer takes place by sending a written stand confirmation. The organizer can therefore only take into account the space requirements (showroom / exhibition space in the hall) to a limited extent.
3. Stand rental
The rental prices listed on the registration form apply for the duration of the event. Every started square meter will be charged in full. All rental prices are exclusive of VAT and other fees.
4. Cancellation of registration
- If the registration is canceled, the exhibitor has to pay the following cancellation fees to the organizer: Up to the official registration deadline (see front page) 40% of the agreed stand rental, after the official registration deadline 100% of the agreed stand rental plus a flat-rate organization fee, taxes, levies and other ancillary costs. The cancellation fee is to be paid as a lump sum compensation regardless of fault, whereby the exhibitor waives a reduction in the claim for compensation, in particular the judicial right of moderation for whatever reasons, including for the benefit of equalization. The exhibitor acknowledges that the cancellation fees must also be paid if the organizer succeeds in renting or selling the stand to a third party. The assertion of compensation that goes beyond the agreed cancellation fees remains unaffected.
- The organizer reserves the right to cancel the event for serious reasons, to shorten the time or, if official orders or other compelling circumstances determine it, to relocate or limit the area made available. This gives the exhibitor no right to withdraw from the contract. For the reasons mentioned above, the exhibitor cannot make any claims for damages against the organizer.
- If the organizer does not carry out the trade fair project for organizational reasons, this will be announced 8 weeks before the start of the trade fair and the exhibitor’s registration will be canceled free of charge. In this case, the exhibitor (despite the confirmation of participation or stand being sent) cannot claim any costs or damages from the organizer.
- If the event cannot be held due to force majeure, a strike or political events, claims for damages by the exhibitor against the organizer of whatever kind are excluded. The organizer must notify the exhibitor immediately if the trade fair is not held.
5. Terms of payment and invoicing
The rental invoice incl. the flat rate for operating costs and organization is due no later than 5 weeks before the start of the event without any deductions. Invoices issued after this date are due immediately. The timely payment of the invoice is a prerequisite for the handover of the allocated stand. If the invoice amount has not been received by the organizer by the due date, the organizer is free to freely dispose of the allocated stand without further notice. In this case, point 4 of the General Terms and Conditions applies. The exhibitor is not entitled to withhold payment of due invoices due to counterclaims of any kind, to refuse payment or to offset against it. All services are charged with 20% VAT.
Of the total costs incl. VAT will be charged 1% contract fee. If the payment is not made on time, we are forced to invoice the current interest as well as any legal assistance costs (legal fees) that may arise. The rental and operating costs include the duration of the exhibition and the days of arrival and departure announced by the organizer. If the invoice is not to be sent to the exhibitor / contractual partner, but to another company (supplier – producer), the exhibitor / contractual partner remains liable if the invoice amount cannot be collected. If the invoice is changed at the exhibitor’s request, the statutory Contract fee of 1% of the total amount + VAT will be charged again.
6. Revocation of the allocation of seats
The organizer is entitled to revoke the space allocation if:
- The exhibitor does not meet his payment obligations on time,
- In the meantime, insolvency proceedings, out-of-court settlement proceedings or liquidation take place or are imminent against the exhibitor,
- There are outstanding claims from previous trade fairs, or
- The exhibits do not or no longer correspond to the trade fair theme. In these cases, point 4 applies accordingly, even if only one of the above points is present.

(E.g. the stability of the stands, safety of suspended elements, textile materials and decorative elements must be of B1 & Q1 quality, etc.) Corridors and common areas must be kept clear; ie no components may protrude into the aisles and no exhibits may be set up in the aisles. If the stand is built by the organizer, nailing, drilling and gluing is prohibited on PVC-coated walls. Damage will be invoiced at the new price. The painted walls may be wallpapered, provided that the wallpaper is to be removed by the exhibitor immediately after the event. If the wallpaper is not removed, this work will be carried out by the organizer and the exhibitor will be billed. In the event of damage, the new price will be charged.
The assembly and dismantling times according to the exhibitor information must be strictly adhered to. If the rented space is unoccupied on the day of construction or if there is no notification of a later arrival, the organizer reserves the right to dispose of the space elsewhere from this point in time without further notification, although the entire stand rental must be paid. The construction work must be completed by the time announced by the organizer. Exceeding the set-up / dismantling time is excluded. In the event that the set-up / dismantling time is exceeded, claims for damages of whatever kind are excluded.
If the dismantling time is exceeded, the organizer is entitled to have the stand structures cleared and stored at the expense and risk of the exhibitor. After dismantling, the original condition must be restored. The exhibitor must compensate the organizer for any damage caused by improper handling.

In the event of non-compliance, the organizer will charge a contractual penalty of EUR 1,000.
10. Liability and compensation / trade fair insurance
Lt. Insurance Act, all objects that are not permanently connected to the building (such as exhibition goods and stand equipment brought in and left behind by the exhibitor) are not insured against fire or water damage caused by whomever, nor against theft and damage by the organizer. The organizer assumes no liability whatsoever in the event of loss or damage to exhibits and stand equipment brought in or left behind by the exhibitor. The organizer is not obliged to take out any insurance. The stand rental does not include insurance for the items brought into the stand, the stand and all other exhibition equipment.
If insurance is taken out with the organizer or an insurance company, the terms and conditions made separately in writing when the insurance was taken out apply. It is advisable to take advantage of the special conditions of an insurance policy agreed with the insurance company – in order to exclude any risks. The organizer assumes no liability for the vehicles parked on the exhibition grounds by exhibitors, their employees or agents. For their part, the exhibitors are liable for any damage caused to persons or things by them, their employees, their agents or their exhibition objects and facilities. The organizer is to be held harmless.
During the construction and dismantling period, every exhibitor has an increased duty of care for the safety of his goods. Valuable and easily movable exhibition objects must be removed from the exhibition stand outside of the exhibition opening times (especially at night) and stored by the exhibitor at his own risk. The organizer does not receive certain shipments for the exhibitor and is not liable for any losses, incorrect or delayed delivery. The exhibition forwarding agent stores exhibition and packaging goods at the expense and risk of the exhibitor. It is forbidden to spend the night in the halls and in the outdoor area. The organizer is not liable for financial, health or other damage of any kind whatsoever that may arise in connection with the preparation, implementation or handling of an exhibition for the exhibitor himself, his employees or third parties for whatever reason.
The organizer is not liable for lost profits. This exclusion of liability does not apply to damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence by the organizer or his authorized representatives. It is up to the injured party to prove these conditions. Any claims by the exhibitor must be reported to the organizer immediately in writing, otherwise they are deemed forfeited. No liability is accepted for incorrect advertisements or entries in the official trade fair catalog and / or other trade fair printed matter (printing errors, formal errors, incorrect classification, non-inclusion, etc.)

The affixing of billboards, posters or other advertising material or the distribution of advertising material outside the stand, especially in the parking lots, is only permitted after a separate agreement with the organizer is charged separately. In the event of unfair competition against other exhibitors, the organizer is entitled to close the stand immediately, in which case a reduction in stand rent and other costs is excluded. There are only a few spaces designated for this, the allocation takes place after the date of receipt of the inquiries. Required additional equipment and decoration at your own expense!
