PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU PURCHASE A BOOTH

ACRYLIC/PLEXIGLASS ART VENDORS

We have an exclusive sponsorship from Gallery Panda.  We are not accepting any other Acrylic or Plexiglass art vendors for Anime El Paso.  

GENERAL

Anime El Paso offers four types of booths.  Vendor and Artist booths are 10x10 and are set up in quads so that every booth is a corner.  Artist inline booths are 10x10 and are set up in a line.  Wall booths are 10 foot wide x 8 foot deep and are against the outer walls of the venue.  All booths come with one table, two chairs, and two vendor badges.

The following “rules and regulations” constitutes an agreement with Fatman Events to the following terms and conditions:

1. Fatman Events reserves the right to prohibit any Exhibitor, Exhibit, or proposed Exhibit, which in Fatman Event's opinion is not suitable for Anime El Paso. This express reservation concerns persons, items, printed matter, conduct, and all other things which affect the character of Anime El Paso. This includes prior to the event, and on-site. Vendors may be asked to remove materials from booths. No refunds will be made available to vendors who violate these policies and refuse to remove items.

2. No Exhibit shall be allowed to project into the aisle beyond the assigned space, and Exhibitors are not allowed to take contents of the booth out of the assigned space. This includes the distribution of literature or materials. Material needed to rope off a portion of space/protect a large piece of equipment from attendees shall be provided by the exhibitor. Sounds, lights, and smells should also be contained to the booth area, and not impact other vendor spaces.

3. Non-Exhibitor solicitation is expressly prohibited; any paid Exhibitor observing such activity shall promptly report it to the management of Fatman Events. This includes paid photography.

4. All items sold should fall in line with the policies of Anime El Paso, El Paso Convention Center, City of El Paso, and all State & Federal Laws. Items such as prop weapons will be subject to security and police inspection. If a judgement call is made by the security team or El Paso Police, changes to a vendor's booth may be required. Some prop weapons may not be allowed to be sold, or must be bagged and/or sealed in dark containers. Any bladed items, with permits, must be sealed prior to sale. If the seal is broken before the item leaves the venue, that guest will be removed, and potentially the vendor as well. No refunds will be made available to vendors who violate these policies.

5. Exhibitors using flammable material must contact the Fire Department and be in compliance with existing fire codes.

6. Food and drinks must be sold packaged for off-site consumption.  A food and beverage form from the venue must be completed and approved from the El Paso Convention Center and SMG.  Fatman Events accepts no responsibility for necessary permits or city/state taxes for those food and drinks approved. No refunds will be given for booths who are cited for food permit violations.

7. All Exhibitors, their agents, or employees shall be responsible for any injury or defacing to the ceiling, walls, or floors of the building or the booths or equipment of other Exhibitors.

8. In the event of fire, strikes, rioting, hurricanes, civil disorder, pandemic, or other circumstances making it impossible to operate the Exhibit hall to be determined within the discretion of Fatman Events, this Agreement shall become null and void. The Exhibitor will be transferred towards the cost of future exhibits.

9. Cancellations with more than 30 days before event a refund will be issued minus a $20 processing fee.  Cancellations with 29 days or less to event no refund will be made.

10. The exhibitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Fatman Events and its subcontractors, agents, and employees by reason of any claim or liability imposed by law on account of property damage or bodily injuries, including death, resulting therefrom, sustained or alleged to be sustained by any person or persons, whether they be members of the public visiting the show, employees of Fatman Events, or other Exhibitors occurring at or in connection with the presentation or presentations of Anime El Paso, resulting for the negligence of the Exhibitor, its agents, employees, or persons performing services for it, or resulting from any equipment, machinery or items displayed by the Exhibitor.

14. Notwithstanding any remedies available to the Exhibitor at law, the Exhibitor expressly releases and waives any and all claims against Fatman Events, its agents, officers, directors, shareholders, or employees, in consideration of the mutual agreement of the parties and the opportunity of Exhibitor to exhibit at Anime El Paso.

15. This Agreement contains all of the agreements of the parties, and may only be amended in writing by separate document duly executed by both parties.

16. This Agreement is entered into and performable in El Paso, Texas. The appropriate courts of El Paso, Texas shall have exclusive venue over any claims arising out of or related to enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, or attendance at Anime El Paso.
