- Booking
- The submitted contract becomes legally binding when the
organiser acknowledges receipt of a completed and signed contract by
issuing an invoice. The invoice will detail the applicable payment
schedule and payment options. Failure to pay any deposit or instalment
when due does not affect the validity or enforceability of the contract
and shall constitute a breach of contract.
- The contract must state clearly the nature of all goods and
services to be promoted at the exhibition. Only those goods and services
entered on the application form may be displayed.
- The organiser reserves the right to decline an application to
exhibit if, in their opinion, it is deemed unsuitable for the
exhibition.
- Upon acceptance of the booking and issue of the organiser’s invoice, the exhibitor must either:
- a) Pay a non-refundable deposit of £200, which will be credited against the total stand fee; or
- b) Enrol in the organiser’s Direct Debit payment scheme, agreeing to the monthly payment schedule.
- Failure to pay the deposit or to set up the Direct Debit within
7 days of invoice issue may result in the booking being cancelled at
the organiser’s discretion.
All payments must be made strictly in accordance with the payment
schedule and due dates set out on the organiser’s invoice. Where any
payment remains outstanding after the agreed due date, the organiser
reserves the right to apply a late payment administration charge to
reflect the additional administrative and financial costs incurred in
managing overdue accounts. The late payment administration charge will
be £150 per overdue invoice. This charge becomes payable immediately and
does not replace the exhibitor’s obligation to settle the outstanding
balance in full. Failure to settle all outstanding balances (including
any applicable late payment administration charges) may, at the
organiser’s discretion, result in:
- Removal from exhibitor marketing materials
- Refusal of access to the exhibition
- Cancellation of the booking without refund
- Recovery of the debt through legal means
- The organiser also reserves the right to charge statutory interest
on overdue amounts in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial
Debts (Interest) Act 1998
- Where the exhibitor elects to pay by Direct Debit, payments shall be
made in accordance with the Direct Debit payment schedule agreed with
the organiser, which may differ from the invoice payment schedule. It
remains the exhibitor’s responsibility to ensure that a valid Direct
Debit mandate is successfully set up and maintained, and any failure for
payment to be collected by Direct Debit for any reason whatsoever
(including administrative error, failed set-up, cancellation, or
assumption of enrolment) does not relieve the exhibitor of their
obligation to pay all sums due under this contract. Failure by the
organiser to collect payment by Direct Debit shall not constitute a
waiver of the organiser’s right to receive payment in full.
- Cancellation
- Upon acceptance of the signed contract the exhibitor agrees to
adhere to the schedule of payments as itemised on the application form
and the subsequent invoice. In the event of cancellation by an exhibitor
the cancellation fees are as follows:

any reason whatsoever, the organiser may, at its sole discretion
