This Request for Admission must be returned by the Exhibitor and/or co-exhibitor duly filled in, dated and signed.

3.2 Legal status of the Entry Form
The Booking Form has the status of a firm offer to contract by virtue of the signature of the Exhibitor. The Booking Form then acquires the status of a contract once it has been registered and confirmed in writing to the Exhibitor by the Organiser (article 5.4).
By signing the Booking Form, the Exhibitor:
• Undertakes to participate in the exhibition;
• Undertakes to abide by the articles of the present Regulations, the conditions of the Booking Form, the tariff conditions and any other contractual document which might bind him to the Organiser;
• Undertakes to pay the amounts due (article 8.1) even if, for any reasons whatsoever, he subsequently decides not to take part in the exhibition or were to be prevented from doing so.

3.3 Transferability and sub-letting
Exhibitors do not have the right to transfer or to sub-let all or part of the stand area which they have been allocated.

4. EVALUATION OF THE ENTRY FORM AND CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
4.1 Main selection criteria
All Entry Forms submitted by the different Exhibitors will be examined by the Organiser and the Exhibition Committee, who will make the selection based mainly upon the following criteria:
• Availability of exhibition space;
• The conformity of the exhibited objects and services with the event
• The payment of the amounts due (article 8).
4.2 Conditions of Admission
Only the Organiser shall take the final decision as to whether or not to admit individuals or corporate entities as well as exhibits. It may reject any Entry Form without having to state the reasons.
No claims by Exhibitors or third parties regarding the admission or non-admission of individuals or corporate entities, or concerning exhibits, will be admitted.
Special requests concerning the stand location or requests for a competitor to be excluded cannot be accepted as a condition of entry by an Exhibitor.
4.3 Refusal of admission
The Organiser may refuse admission in particular in the following cases:
• If, based on any information made available to the Organiser, the Exhibitor jeopardizes or risks jeopardizing the smooth operation of the exhibition, the reputation or the material of the Organiser;
• If the Exhibitor fails to comply with one or more obligation(s) that he has towards the Organiser or a company connected with the latter, notably if he does not meet his financial obligations.
Refusal of admission shall be notified to the Exhibitor in writing, no later than 30 days after receipt of the Entry Form. Further refusal of admission may also be notified by the Organiser, when any relevant information is made available to the Organiser.
Refusal of admission cannot entail any consequence for the Organiser other than the reimbursement of any sum already paid. Under no circumstances will the Organiser be liable for any damages whatsoever.
4.4 Admission acceptance
Acceptance of the Booking Form shall be notified in writing by the Organiser to the Exhibitor or to the delegate. This notification alone constitutes acceptance by the Organiser of the Exhibitor, subject to the effective and full payment of the amounts due to the Organiser (article 8). Any prior exchange of letters or any documents between the Organiser and the Exhibitor cannot under any circumstances be deemed to constitute acceptance.
Upon acceptance, the settlement of the aforementioned amounts becomes due, and applies even if the Exhibitor should subsequently cancel his participation for any reason whatsoever (article 7.2).

5. ALLOCATION OF STANDS AND FLOOR PLAN
5.1 Choice of surface
The Exhibitor expresses his choice of surface through the Booking Form, by mentioning the choice directly on the application form.
5.2 Allocation of the surface area and the stand location
The Organiser alone is responsible for the allocation of the stand area and its location, taking into account the criteria listed in article 5.1 and following receipt of the payment (article 4.4).
The Organiser endeavours to establish a floor plan, taking into account the Exhibitor’s wishes regarding the stand surface area. The Organiser reserves the right to modify the dimensions or the configuration of the stands within acceptable limits and to an extent which is compatible with the layout concept and the overall presentation of the exhibition. The exercise of such a prerogative shall not under any circumstances give rise to any compensation whatsoever to the Exhibitor.
The allocation of the stand is notified to the Exhibitor by the sending of the invoice.
5.3 Occupation of the stand
Occupation of the stand area is subject to payment in full of the amounts due (article 8). Subject to these payments being made, the stand area will be made available to the Exhibitor at the beginning of the official assembly period, whose date will previously have been communicated to him, subject to the Organiser’s right to impose shorter time-limits.

6. CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT AND REDUCTION OF SURFACE AREA
6.1 Cancellation by the Organiser
Should it transpire that the conditions for admission are not met or cease to be met or should it transpire that admission was granted on the basis of the provision of inaccurate information or data, the Organiser may cancel the Exhibitor’s admission at any time without, in so doing, giving rise to any payment other than the possible reimbursement of the amounts paid. Under no circumstances may the Organiser be held liable for any damages whatsoever.
The Organiser is not obliged to state the reasons for its decision.
6.2 Cancellation by the Exhibitor
An Exhibitor wishing to terminate the contract binding him to the Organiser must notify the latter in writing.
The Exhibitor, however, is not thereby released from his commitments. He remains liable for:
• The total amount of the registration fees as well as the rental price of the stands surface;
• The cost of the installations ordered and already carried out;
• The cost of advertising ordered and already executed;
• Any ancillary expenses.
However, the Organiser may reduce his claims related to the booking to:
• 50% of the total rental fee, plus any ancillary expenses and any other amounts for which he is liable if the Exhibitor informs the Organiser 90 days prior to the official opening date of the Show (in the event of postponement of an edition, the date initially scheduled shall prevail).
In the event of cancellation after 11th March 2024, the total rental cost, plus any other ancillary expenses already incurred, will be charged, regardless of any rental of the stand surface to a third party by the Organiser.
The Exhibitor remains liable for 100% of the rental amount, plus payment of costs already incurred, any ancillary costs and any other amount for which he is responsible, if he notifies the Organizer less than 90 days before the official opening date of the Show (in the event of postponement of an edition, the date initially scheduled shall prevail).
In the event that all or part of the surface area left vacant by the Exhibitor is allocated to a new Exhibitor or transferred to an Exhibitor to whom a site had already been allocated (transfer carried out by the exhibition Organiser), the Exhibitor who has withdrawn will nevertheless have to pay the total amount of the rental price of the stand surface area plus any ancillary expenses.
The Organiser may dispose of a stand that remains unoccupied. The defaulting Exhibitor loses all entitlement to his stand. He is nevertheless liable for the total amount of the rental price of the stand surface area and the ancillary expenses. Furthermore, the Organiser reserves the right to pass on to the Exhibitor concerned the expenses resulting
6.3 Reduction by the Exhibitor of the surface area after stand allocation
If an Exhibitor reduces the surface area of his stand after it has been allocated to him by the Organiser, he remains liable for the total amount of the rental price of the exhibition surface area and the ancillary expenses.

However, such Exhibitors have the option, subject to certain conditions, of applying for reimbursement of these taxes.
VAT is applied/payable at the rate of 8.1% (subject to modification).
Unless otherwise specified, the prices quoted in these regulations do not include VAT.

In the event of failure to observe the deadlines or to pay the rental price, the Exhibitor shall nevertheless not be released from his liabilities. He shall remain liable for all the items set out in article 6.2 which includes also the cost for technical installations and/or other services which he has ordered and which have already been executed.
8.4 Complaints concerning invoices
Each complaint concerning an invoice must be lodged no later than 30 days after the date of invoicing.
