An Exhibitor will only be allowed to exhibit at the turn&milltec 2010, when all (invoiced) payments required have been made by the dates specified. The organizer exclusively decides about the admission of an applicant to the exhibition. The application does not justify a legal claim on a stand place. The organizer decides about the admission of the applicants without being bound to justify his decision. Latest with the receival of the first part of the invoice is the exhibitor admitted to the fair. The organizer shall determine the composition of the event, in particular the branches of industry and the product groups and their make-up and is entitled, in deciding upon exhibitor acceptance to take account of the composition of the exhibitors in respect of international origin, company structures, economic categories and other objective features.

Claims for compensation of any kind – mistakes made in the placing included – cannot be asserted. The organizer is entitled to transfer or alter the entrances and exits to the exhibition center as well as the corridors in the halls. No claim can be asserted out of this reason or because of the location of the stand. The allocation of the stands shall be made according to technical factors relating to the exhibition.

The exhibitor is liable for damages and losses incurred at the objects rented. By handing over the application, the exhibitor commits himself to occupy his stand in time before the beginning of the exhibition and to stay until the official end of the fair. In case of dismantling the stand earlier, either completely or partly, or if he does not occupy his stand at all or not in time, the exhibitor is liable to pay the total amount of the stand rent and promotion fee plus an additional amount of 2500,– EURO penalty for breach of contract. Stand construction and dismantling times are indicated in the ’Service Manual’. Only in exceptional circumstances can construction and dismantling work be carried out outside of this period and then only with the prior written consent of the organizer against the payment. Stand arrangement and equipment is up to the exhibitor. In view of a good general picture, the organizer’s instructions have to be respected. In particular, the appearance of the hall and of the neighbouring stands is not to be disturbed. Visible rear and side walls of stands, exhibits or signs have to be covered neatly. Dividing walls of max. 2,50 m may be exceeded or reduced only by approval of the organizer. Exhibitors who do not construct a stand must at least have white rear and side walls. The organizer does not separate the stands by walls. If the clearance of the stands has not been undertaken within the time indicated, the organizer is authorized to have the stand cleared at the expense of the exhibitor. With no liability for losses or damages, the goods will be put in store at the organizer’s forwarder. With laying of carpet, only adhesive tape with no remains has to be used and removed. Otherwise the exhibitor is charged by the ordered cleaning firm.
13. LIGHTING, ELECTRICITY, GAS, WATER AND COMPRESS
The organizer is responsible for the general lighting in the halls. The exhibitor will be charged separately for the costs of the installation of gas, water and electricity supply etc. for each stand as well as the costs for the usage of gas, water and electricity etc. Costs for closed circuits will be charged proportionally. All installations outside the stand may only be carried out by specialist firms authorized by the organizer. Supplies for machines and devices which are not registered, do not fulfill VDE regulations or whose consumption is higher than indicated, can be removed. The stand owner is liable for all damages incurred by uncontrolled removal of energy. The organizer is not liable for interruptions or capacity fluctuations in gas, air, water and electricity supply etc.
14. ACOUSTIC TRANSMISSIONS / ADVERTISING
The inside area of the stand may be used by the exhibitor for advertising purposes, although only in respect of the exhibits displayed by him. Public address, video, music and transparency/photograph equipment at the stand require a license. The application has to be made 8 weeks before the beginning of the exhibition at the latest. The volume of background music and announcements has to be balanced so that it cannot be heard at the neighbouring stands, e. g. by appropriate technical means, installation of several speakers with low watt power in 1.80 m maximum. In case of disregard of these regulations, the electricity supply at the exhibitor’s stand can be interrupted with no consideration for the loss of energy supply. The exhibitor cannot claim for compensation of any kind for any direct or indirect damage from the interruption of the energy supply. The exhibitor has the burden of proof for the keeping of the regulations. Publicity measures may neither be implemented outside the boundary of the stand nor on or in front of the Fair Ground; subject to this condition is also the use of persons for publicity purposes, as well as the distribution of any kind of advertising material, for example leaflets, posters, stickers, etc. in the gangways of the exhibition halls, on the Fair Ground, in the direct vicinity of the Fair Ground, as well as in fair car parks. It is equally prohibited to carry out surveys, tests, competitions, raffles or contents outside the stand.

15. STAND GUARDS EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY / INSURANC
The organizer is responsible for the general guarding of the halls and for the control of the entrances. This general guarding lasts until the official ending of the exhibition on the final day. Then, every exhibitor has to take increasing care for the security of his goods. Additional stand guarding must be ordered with the contracted firm. For any loss or damage of articles brought by the exhibitor, arising during the exhibition, transport and at installation and dismantling times, the organizer is not liable. The general guarding assumed by the organizer does not limit the exclusion of liability for damages to property or injuries. The organizer is only liable within the framework of his legal liability so that any further liability for damages to property or injuries incurred on the exhibition center, in the halls, on the uncovered exhibition area, parking lot, paths etc. are excluded. In particular, damages resulting from fire, water, explosion, demonstration, act of violence, storm and other kinds of force majeure or from theft, burglary, break-down of a supply network (such as electricity, gas, water) and similar causes are excluded. The exhibitor has to insure himself against all possible dangers (esp. theft of exhibits). Under the Law on Technical Working Equipment from 24.6.1968 (Gerätesicherheitsgesetz – Equipment Safety Act), the exhibitor may only exhibit and demonstrate working equipment (machines and appliances) if the equipment has been made in accordance with all the generally recognized regulations of technology applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as with all employment protection provisions, all legal, official trade association and other safety regulations or the equipment has been fitted with all safety facilities necessary to protect both user or third persons from every form of danger to life and health when properly used. The exhibitor undertakes all legal and official regulations, including those issued by the occupational accident insurance authorities, and any other accident prevention rules and all safety directives during the construction and dismantling work and for the duration of the event. This includes the safety regulations issued by Messe Frankfurt. At all times, access to the stands must be given to members of the police, fire brigade, rescue services, Trade Supervisory Office, Building Supervisory Board and the regulatory agency, as well as the representative of Messe Frankfurt. Their instructions are to be obeyed. The organizer is entitled to check at any time whatsoever that the security regulations are being observed. The organizer is authorized to order the immediate elimination of a situation which does not conform to regulations at the expense of the exhibitor and to prohibit at all times any operation which is against regulations. At any time the organizer may prevent the operation of machines, appliances etc., as well as renewed operation, if it considers such operation to constitute a danger or if other exhibitors or visitors are irritated or troubled by them. The decision of the organizer is final. The exhibitor undertakes to observe instructions and directives given on the basis of public emergency regulations, e. g., smog directives, emergency laws, etc. The exhibitor is liable for all damage to persons or property, as well as economic losses, which have been caused by his stand construction, stand equipment, exhibits and their operation or by his employees or those acting on his behalf. If local trade and sanitary permits are necessitated, these are to be obtained by the exhibitor in good time prior to the start of the event and kept on hand at the stand. The organizer does not bear the risk of insurance.
16. FORCE MAJEURE AND EXCLUSION OF CLAIMS FOR COMP
In case of urgent reasons through no fault of his own or in case of force majeure, the organizer is authorized to postpone, transfer, shorten or to extend the trade fair. In such justified exceptional situations, the exhibitors neither have a right of withdrawal nor of claim for compensation. If the exhibition does not take place because of the above mentioned reasons or not at the times previewed – consequently, through no fault of the organizer – the organizer may demand up to 25% of the stand rent from the exhibitor as a general compensation for the expenses. The organizer can ask for a bigger amount only if the exhibitor has ordered special services with additional costs. Should the event be interrupted, once opened, by force majeure or other urgent reasons as e. g. under the influence of a third party, demonstrations, acts of violence, disturbances, damages resulting from war, fire, water or ecological damage, the organizer is not obliged to reimburse rents or parts of it. The organizer is authorized to cancel or change the exhibition without acception of any claim for compensation. In case the exhibition has to be completely canceled, the already paid stand rents minus the costs of preparation (min. 25%) will be reimbursed excluding any claim for compensation.
17. EXHIBITOR TICKETS AND ENTRANCE TICKETS
Every exhibitor receives exhibitor tickets according to his stand size (further details see Service Manual).

Vehicles are only to be parked in the parking lots designated. Parking in front of the hall doors and entrances is prohibited. Any violation of the present regulations, the additional instructions made by the organizer as well as violations of the regulations under public law, esp. safety regulations valid for the exhibition, can result in an exclusion of the offending exhibitor without prior notice, within the organizer’s discretion. The transportation of sold goods during the exhibition can only be carried out with the organizer’s consent together with delivery note in duplicate. The stand including the registered goods has to be occupied during the whole time of the exhibition. By signing the application, the organizer accepts for himself and for his staff or representatives the participation and exhibition conditions as above mentioned, regulations of the local police, factory safety and health control and all other legal regulations as well as the house rules. In case that some of these exhibition conditions should no longer be valid, this has no influence on the law effectiveness in general.
