The organizer will not be responsible for any damage or additional costs that may occur during this storage.

All necessary measures are taken by the organizer for the general security of the fair during and outside the opening hours and during the days of installation and dismantling. The security guards will not be responsible for the security of individual stands. It is the responsibility of each exhibitor to exercise vigilant control over their own work and materials. As a security measure, once the fair opens, nothing may leave the fair grounds without an exit permit.

Sales are permitted during the fair. However, for security reasons, the exhibitor must issue an exit voucher signed by the exhibitor for each piece sold, clearly indicating the name of the exhibitor, the stand number, a description of the work, and the name of the buyer with his telephone number. This exit slip must be confirmed by the organizer.

The organizer takes out an insurance policy covering the pecuniary consequences of their liability in their capacity as organizer, covering the pecuniary consequences of their liability in their capacity as exhibitors for the duration of the fair (including setting-up and dismantling).

The exhibitor’s civil liability must be insured with his usual company. The exhibitor is responsible for the circulation and safety of visitors on his stand. He must be insured against all risks incurred by the works presented, in particular loss, theft, breakage, fire, water damage and generally any damage to the works during their transport, hanging, exhibition and removal.

The exhibitor and his insurer declare that they waive any recourse against the organizer on these points. In addition to the compulsory liability cover, all exhibitors must ensure that the assets exhibited and installed (exhibitor area equipment and presentation accessories) are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy: Fire, theft, damage, during the exhibition and during transport to and from the event. The organizer does not accept any responsibility for damage resulting from shows or performances organized by the exhibitors. The exhibitor is liable for the damage caused by suppliers and other associated personnel contracted by the exhibitor.

The organiser also declines all liability for damage resulting from shows or performances given by exhibitors. The exhibitor is liable for damage caused by suppliers and other auxiliary personnel hired by him. Exhibitors release the organiser from all liability in the event of fire, explosion, flooding, various disturbances and in general for any event not attributable to the organiser, its agents or servants. No claim for damages may be made against the organiser if the Galerie Joseph cannot be used by exhibitors or if its use has to be interrupted as a result of events of a force majeure nature.

The exhibitor must insure the works of art, as the insurance taken out by exhibitors via the organiser does not cover them. The exhibitor remains the guardian of the works of art throughout the fair (including the opening and closing hours of the fair, when the works are assembled and dismantled). In this capacity, he is responsible for their surveillance, and the organiser cannot be held liable in this respect. In fulfilment of the commitments made to the company managing the premises in which the exhibition is held, the exhibitor waives all recourse against this company and its insurers for any direct and/or indirect physical, material and/or immaterial damage resulting from fire, explosion or water damage, as well as for any operating loss. The exhibitor undertakes to obtain from its insurers a waiver of recourse on the same terms as those set out in the previous paragraphs.

In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, there is a total ban on smoking. Exhibitors must ensure that this ban is respected in and around their booth.

The organizer reserves the right to modify the present general regulations in the general interest of the fair and to rule on all litigious cases not provided for by these regulations. The organizer may, in case of force majeure, such as fire, flood, natural disaster, strike, demonstration, disturbance of civil peace, act of terrorism, or any other cause beyond his control, take the decision to postpone, delay, limit or extend the fair, modify the schedules or location, cancel or limit the activities planned within the framework of the fair. In all these cases, the contracts concluded with the exhibitors remain fully valid and the payment of the participation and any other service is due in full. The exhibitor may not claim reimbursement of all or part of the sums already paid to the organizer.

Any claim by an exhibitor must be submitted, for the purpose of an amicable settlement, to the organizer by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within fifteen days after the close of the fair addressed to the company FANNART SAS, 3 rue Duban, 75016 Paris, France. The present rules are governed by French law. In case of dispute, the competent court will be the Commercial Court of Paris.
