VENDOR SPACE: Event vendors are responsible for the safe operation of their tables, booths, display or attraction. We ask that you please do not cause damage to the venue as that damage would be your responsibility. Vendors are expected to display within the confines of their purchased vending table(s). No items are to be placed in another spaces whether it is occupied or vacant. Any Vendor that is found to be outside of their purchased vending space(s) will be required to move. If there should be any question as to where the boundaries are for the vending spaces, then it is the responsibility of the Vendor to ask.

TOLEDO R/C SWAPMEET reserves the right to relocate any vendor as necessary for the benefit and safety of all persons as deemed necessary by the TOLEDO R/C SWAPMEET.

SUBLETTING: If you should be unable to attend the event and your space(s) has been paid and you wish for another party to use your space(s), then, in that event, TOLEDO R/C SWAPMEET will need to be notified prior to the event. We will need the name, address and phone number of the party that will be occupying your space(s).

CLEAN UP OF VENDING SPACE(S): Vendors are expected to keep their spot/location free and clear of any garbage and debris. Any items not sold by the vendor are to be taken with you when you leave the event. These items are not to be placed in the trash cans or left behind when you leave. No debris is to be left on your space(s) during the event and, specifically, after the event during clean up. This helps keep our space costs down because we do not have to pay workers additional fees to clean up after people. Any Vendors found in violation of this request will be charged a $400.00 clean up fee in addition to your space cost(s).

WRISTBANDS: Wristbands are given in the following fashion: One bands for each day for the first space purchased and one additional band for each additional space purchased. With the exception of large vendor space(s), which we understand require additional staffing which will be calculated out and adjusted accordingly. If additional bands will be needed appropriate arrangements will be made.

VENDORS’ ADDITIONAL WORKERS AND/OR STAFF: All Vendors are responsible for the people that are a part of their spaces. If there is someone that is acting inappropriately or causing any difficulties, then the Vendor of that particular space is responsible. If there would be a situation, the Vendor would be contacted and if the situation was not rectified, the Vendor of that space(s) would be asked to leave the event.

VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY: Food, drink, and TOLEDO R/C SWAPMEET T-Shirts and TOLEDO R/C SWAPMEET souvenir rights are reserved.
