Vendor Participation Agreement
By submitting this application and signing below, I acknowledge and agree to the following requirements for participation in The Homegrown Marketplace presented by Simply Swann in partnership with Friendship Point:
Vendor Space & Setup
I understand that standard vendor spaces are limited to a maximum 10' × 10' footprint. I am responsible for providing everything needed to operate my business, including my own tent/canopy, properly secured tent weights, tables, chairs, displays, staffing, extension cords, generator or other approved power source, and necessary equipment.
Licenses, Permits & Business Requirements
I am solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses, permits, certifications, insurance, tax registrations, food-service approvals, health requirements, and other documentation required for my business, products, or services. Food and beverage vendors are responsible for complying with all applicable food-safety and health regulations.
Safety & Operations
I am responsible for the safety, quality, preparation, handling, sale, and delivery of all products, food, beverages, and services offered by my business. I agree to operate safely and professionally and follow all instructions, safety requirements, and venue rules established by Simply Swann and Friendship Point.
Vendor Area & Cleanup
I will keep my assigned area clean and contained within my designated space. I am responsible for removing my equipment, merchandise, food waste, boxes, trash, and other materials at the conclusion of my participation and leaving my space clean.
Independent Vendor Responsibility
I understand that I am participating as an independent business and am not an employee, agent, representative, or partner of Simply Swann or Friendship Point. I accept responsibility for my business operations, employees, contractors, products, services, equipment, and conduct.
Liability & Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to assume responsibility for claims, injuries, damages, losses, or expenses arising from my participation, business operations, products, food, services, employees, equipment, or failure to comply with applicable requirements. I agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Simply Swann, Friendship Point, their owners, representatives, and event partners from claims arising from my acts, omissions, products, services, or operations, except to the extent caused by their own negligence or willful misconduct.
Event Conditions
I understand that vendor acceptance is subject to approval and space availability. Event management may adjust vendor placement, operating instructions, or event logistics when reasonably necessary for safety, weather, venue requirements, or event operations. In the event of inclement weather, the Marketplace may be relocated indoors.
Acknowledgment
By signing below, I confirm that I have read, understand, and agree to these Vendor Participation Terms. My electronic signature serves as my agreement to comply with these requirements, and no separate vendor agreement is required.
