RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR EXHIBITORS

As an exhibitor at our fair at Montpellier on 03 February 2009 you are required to comply with a number of rules essential to the proper functioning of this International Antiques and Collectibles One-day Trade Fair.

1. As you approach the site blue arrows on a yellow background, bearing the logo, will help you find your way.
2. Exhibits may be brought in on Monday and Tuesday by Gate 4 at the back of the Park. You should join the "" queue to get into the park.
3. If you do not have your entry pass you may park in the short-term parking area on the right and go to the secretariat in the ALGECO unit to collect your file.
4. If you wish to transfer goods from one vehicle to another you must tell a member of our organisation, who will find you a space in an area intended for this purpose, inside the park and out of view of potential buyers.
5. You may enter the park to take up your position either on Monday between 5.00 a.m. and 8.00 p.m. or on Tuesday between 5.00 a.m. and 6.45 a.m. Once on the site you must fix your entry permit in a side window of the vehicle, place your fire extinguisher in view on the seat (interior exhibitors) and lock your vehicle. You must then leave quickly. NO PERSONS ARE TO REMAIN IN THE PARK. After 7.00 a.m. no vehicle may enter and the gates will be locked by exhibition centre staff.
6. All exhibitors who have rented one or more positions inside the building must:
- have in their possession a currently valid 6 kg powder extinguisher with inspection certificate, and be fully familiar with its use
- ensure their vehicles are fitted with a locking fuel cap and that battery terminals are enclosed and inaccessible
7. All positions rented are 20 m2 units or multiples thereof; boundaries are indicated by marks on the floor with a stand number.
8. At 8.00 a.m. precisely a signal will be sounded and the fair will begin. You must take care when unloading your stock not to overlap the boundaries of your stand. This is most important. You must also ensure that access to the fire extinguishing equipment in the hall, such as charged fire hydrants and extinguishers, is not obstructed.
9. Before unloading place your fire extinguisher in a visible and easily accessible position next to your vehicle.
10. All stock sold must remain on your stand or be taken away by the buyer or his duly authorised agent (carrier). Under no circumstances may it be allowed to overflow onto the gangways.
11. Throughout the fair the "accès camions" (truck entrances) of the buildings will remain open and the smaller "accès piétons" (pedestrian entrances) will be unlocked.
12. At the end of the fair, you will be able to repack your goods into your vehicle and exit freely without formality.
13. Any damage caused by an exhibitor will automatically be invoiced to him.
You should also be aware that:
- it is forbidden to use gas bottles inside the halls
