General

The Organiser may choose at its absolute discretion to offer an ‘early bird’ or ‘loyalty bonus’ to the Exhibitor for the booking of a stand. This loyalty bonus will only be honoured if the Exhibitor books at consecutive Exhibitions without interruption throughout the loyalty bonus term period by the required booking deadline and pays the appropriate invoice by the specified due date. Should the Exhibitor decide not to exhibit in any instance within the series of consecutive Exhibitions to which the loyalty bonus applies, or to book after the deadline to obtain the bonus, or not meet payment terms, then the full Hire charges will apply for current and future exhibitions.

The Organiser reserves the right to require the Exhibitor to remove any Exhibit if the Organiser in its absolute discretion considers that it is libellous, obscene, undesirable or detrimental to the Exhibition, other exhibitors or the general commercial interests of the Organiser or any other company from time to time forming part of the same group of companies of which the Organiser forms part or that infringes the right of any third party.

Whilst every effort is made to facilitate the attendance of a listed exhibitor at the Group Leisure & Travel Show, the Organiser does not guarantee that any Exhibitor will fulfil its obligation to exhibit at the show and takes no responsibility for non-attendance of Exhibitors or sponsors listed in the catalogue, on the website, or on any other medium.
