Registration
Registrations must be submitted using the space application form, acknowledging the acceptance of these Conditions of Participation. The completed registration form bearing a legally binding signature of the Exhibitor should be mailed to:
Messe Düsseldorf Asia Pte Ltd

No account shall be taken of conditions or reservations specified by the Exhibitors contained in the registrations. Requests for specific sites do not constitute a condition of participation. Only upon receipt by MDA shall the registration be deemed submitted. In consideration of MDA agreeing to consider the registration of the Exhibitor the Exhibitor agrees that it shall not at any time during the Relevant Period withdraw its registration. Particulars given shall be stored for automatic data processing and shall be made available to third parties upon implementation of the contract. Registrations shall be processed in the order received. Any registrations received after the start of space allocation can only be considered if sufficient space is available. Any services offered by companies having exclusive rights in the fair grounds must be ordered through MDA.
Admission
In principle, only those Exhibitors whose product range is covered by the title and remit of the event shall be admitted in the Exhibition. There is no legal right to admission.
MDA shall have sole and absolute discretion to decide on the admission of exhibitors and exhibits. Any firm which has failed to meet its financial obligations owing to MDA or affiliated companies (from previous fair participation and/or under the terms of these Conditions of Participation, or Item 6) may be rejected. Exhibitors will be informed of admission in writing and admission shall apply only to the Exhibitor stated therein. The mailing of the notice of admission gives rise to a contract between MDA and the Exhibitor.
MDA shall be entitled to revoke any admission if such admission was based on a misunderstanding, false information or if the preconditions for approval no longer apply.
Should MDA be compelled to relocate or change individual stands, entrances, exits or aisles at a later point in time, this shall not give rise to any claims. If through no fault on the part of MDA the space allocated is no longer available, the Exhibitor shall be entitled to a refund of the participation fee, free of interest, as agreed liquidated damages. No claims for further damages may be submitted.
Following admission by MDA (conclusion of the contract), the obligation to pay the participation fee shall remain legally binding even if, for example, the authorities in the exhibiting country do not approve, in whole or part, the Exhibitor’s import requirements, or if exhibits for any reason whatsoever fail to arrive in time or to arrive at all (e.g. owing to loss, delays in transit or customs), or if the Exhibitor or his agent is delayed or even unable to attend. Should the Exhibitor or his agent fail to take over the allocated stand area two days prior to the beginning of the Exhibition, such area may be otherwise disposed of in such manner as MDA shall determine in its absolute discretion. This shall not release the Exhibitor from his contractual obligations or entitle him to demand for refund or lodge any other claims against MDA.

MDA cannot be held liable for damages to/loss of the Lien Items arising from such realisation and/or sale.

Where payment dates are not met, MDA shall be entitled to rescind the contract or otherwise dispose of the stand area and the Exhibitor shall be responsible for all losses suffered by MDA. Item 7 of the Conditions of Participation shall apply.
Withdrawal or Non-Participation
The Exhibitor shall not be entitled to withdraw his registration or reduce the fair space after submission of the form of registration.
Following approval, the Exhibitor is no longer entitled to withdraw his registration or reduce the fair space. Both participation fee and any other costs actually incurred by MDA must be paid.
Withdrawal by the Exhibitor or any waiver of the allocated stand area shall only become effective upon receipt by MDA of a written declaration to that effect. MDA is entitled to rescind the contract in the event of an application for composition or bankruptcy proceedings in respect of the Exhibitor’s assets or where such an application is rejected on the grounds of insufficient assets. The Exhibitor shall inform MDA thereof at once.
Co-Exhibitors
Stand areas are made available only as a whole and to one contracting partner, who shall be entitled to accommodate previously named co-exhibitors at his stand only with the prior written consent of MDA. MDA shall only grant its consent once such co-exhibitors have acknowledged acceptance of these Conditions of Participation in writing. Co-exhibitors shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the principal exhibitors. No advertising is allowed at stands for merchandise or firms which have not been admitted to the event. The principal exhibitor shall be liable for any fault of his co-exhibitors or persons employed in performing their obligations. The same shall apply to vicarious agents. Principal exhibitor and co-exhibitor(s) shall be liable to MDA as joint and several debtors.
Exhibits
All exhibits must be listed individually on the registration form giving an exact description. Any display of inflammable or pungent exhibits or exhibits whose demonstration entails noise requires the prior written consent of MDA.
Exhibits may not be removed during the course of the event. The operation and demonstration of exhibits is only admissible within the scope of accepted standards. MDA is neither in charge of nor responsible for questions of licenses, quotas or transfers of sales proceeds.
Technical Guidelines
The Technical Guidelines are a constituent part of these Conditions of Participation and must be adhered to. The Technical Guidelines shall be handed over to the exhibitor at the latest with the order form for services
Fair Insurance and Exclusion of Liability
MDA has concluded a general trade fair insurance contract covering the usual insurable risks such as fire, burglary, theft, breakage, leakage and water damage, including the risks of transportation to and from the fairgrounds. On application, each Exhibitor can have his participation risk covered at his own expense under this general insurance contract. On request a corresponding form will be sent to the Exhibitor under separate cover together with the service package offer.
Exhibitors who do not avail themselves of the insurance cover offered by this general insurance contract in time, acknowledge in respect of the MDA that they waive all right to asserting any claims for damages which would have been covered, had they taken out the insurance protection offered. All damages incurred must be reported in writing to the police and to the insurance broker (also by telex or telefax). Incidences of fire, theft and burglary must be reported to the trade fair management and the police within 24 hours of such occurrence.
MDA and her affiliated companies are liable for personal injury and damage to property only in the case of wilful intent or gross negligence on its part or the part of its servants. It accepts no duty to exercise proper care with respect to exhibits and/or stand fittings. This exclusion is in no way limited by the security measures provided or decoration services undertaken in individual cases.
The Exhibitor is liable for all damages caused to third parties as a result of his trade fair participation, including damages to buildings on the fairgrounds and to the exhibition halls and/or their furniture and fittings, save where such damages are covered by a local third-party indemnity insurance.
Circulars
Once the stand areas have been allocated, the Exhibitors shall receive circulars giving information on preparations for the staging of the fair. Any consequences arising from disregarding these circulars shall be borne by the Exhibitors.
Reservations
Any rules and regulations of the host country or the local contractual partner differing from these Conditions or Participation or imposing additional restrictions shall have precedence at all times. MDA shall not be liable for any resulting losses or other disadvantages to the Exhibitor.
MDA shall be entitled to postpone, curtail, extend or cancel the event and to close individual or all sections of the fair temporarily or permanently due to Act of God, force majeure, orders/directives imposed by any Government authority or any other unforeseen circumstances. Should it become necessary to postpone, curtail, extend or cancel the event, the Exhibitor shall not be entitled to withdraw from the contract or claim compensation; should he nevertheless waive his right to the stand area allocated to him, Item 7 of the Conditions of Participation shall apply. MDA shall not be liable for any losses sustained or disadvantages suffered by the Exhibitor as a result of postponement, curtailment, extension or cancellation. Rather, the Exhibitor shall in such case be required to bear a reasonable share of the costs incurred by MDA in preparing for the event.
Where the Exhibitor has placed orders with MDA for services supplementary to those covered by the participation fee (Item 3), he shall be billed for the costs incurred until this point in time.
Copyright
The Exhibitor gives permission to the Organizers to publish before, during and after the Exhibition any and all press releases, photographs, product information, and brochures sent to them for the purpose of obtaining publicity for the Exhibition and/or Exhibitor.
The Exhibitor guarantees that all graphic elements, designs and photos are either:
1) original material,
2) paid for by the Exhibitor or,
3) already in the public domain such that the Organizers cannot be sued for copyright violation.
Final Provisions
In submitting the registration, the Exhibitor agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Participation. Any other agreements, individual permits or special arrangements shall require written confirmation by MDA.
The English text shall be binding. Failing other arrangements subject to the prior consent of MDA, place of performance for payments is Singapore. Should any of the above items be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms. The resulting gaps shall be filled in such a way as to maintain the sense and purpose of the contract. Any claims of the Exhibitor as against MDA shall be barred after six months. The period of limitation shall commence with the end of the month in which the event closed.
All costs and expenses (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) incurred by MDA in the recovery of any monies payable to it by the Exhibitor or in the enforcement of any terms of these conditions shall be borne by the Exhibitors.
Time shall be of the essence of the contract in relation to all provisions of these conditions as shall relate to the payment of any monies from the Exhibitor to MDA.
All notices, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given or made under these Conditions shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by prepaid registered post of by facsimile addressed to the intended recipient thereof at its address specified in these Conditions or in the Application Form (as the case may be), or such other address notified by such party. Any such notice, demand or communication shall be deemed to have been duly served (if delivered personally or given or made by facsimile) immediately or (if given or made by letter) two days after posting and in proving the same it shall be sufficient to show that the envelope containing the same was duly addressed, stamped and posted.
These Conditions and the contract arising therefrom shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore. The parties hereto irrevocably submit for all purposes of or connection with any matter or issue relating to these Conditions and the contracts arising therefrom (including disputes relating to the cheques and drafts issued in payment of any sum due to these Conditions) to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore or the courts of the country in which the registered office of the Exhibitor is situated. The parties hereto irrevocably waive any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any proceedings in such court as is referred to herein and any claim that any such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.
