BSSW 23 rd October 2019 Exhibitor Terms and Conditions
1.General
1.1 The event organiser, Showcase Events Limited (07672842) is trading as Business Showcase South West (BSSW). Stand numbering is subject to change. Final stand numbering will be confirmed with Exhibitors approximately 2 weeks prior to the event. Though the numbering may change, your stand position will stay the same. 1.2 Please Note - for 2019, we are introducing a charge for exhibitors requiring electricity and parking because of significant increased costs. The Wi-Fi remains free as does the exclusive Exhibitors and VIP Drinks Event for 3m or 6m stand holders. The electric/parking is selected if required during the furniture order/risk assessment online form a few weeks prior to the event. 1.3 You understand that you may have chosen a stand space which does not have an actual wall behind it and that BSSW recommend that you bring ‘pull-up’ banner stands or, ideally, a standard ‘pop-up’ exhibition stand to make the best of the space.

Still cameras (non-professional) are permitted but images may only be used for private purposes and not public display with the consent of the owner of the premises where the event is held.

Where legislation implies any condition or warranty which cannot be excluded or modified, that condition or warranty will be deemed to be included in this agreement. However, our liability for any breach of such condition or
warranty will be limited, at our option, to the resupply of the services or the cost of having the services supplied again.
