the applicant. Co-exhibitors and additionally represented companies must be named on the application
form. The same particulars must be speciﬁed as for the exhibitor. Incomplete applications cannot be
considered. This application procedure does not apply to organizers of joint stands. They are notexhibitors as deﬁned by the Terms of Participation.
A 2. Eligible exhibits and exhibitors
The Participation Conditions A and B as well as the Technical Guidelines are accepted as legallybinding with submission of application documents. The application of the exhibitor represents thecontractual offer. The admission or rejection will be conﬁrmed to the exhibitor in writing in due time.
Admission cannot be transferred. The contract between Messe Muenchen India and the exhibitor isconcluded with the admission.
According to this contract, Messe Muenchen India is authorized to assign a stand area to an exhibitor,
which might deviate from the information in the registration unless these deviations are unacceptable
for the exhibitor. A deviation is considered acceptable if Messe Muenchen India does not receive theexhibitor´s rejection of the assignment of the stand area within one week. If an exhibitor rejects a standarea before the deadline and the assigned stand area is unacceptable for the exhibitor, the exhibitor
can demand that Messe Muenchen India assign him an acceptable stand area. If Messe Muenchen
India does not comply with the demand within an appropriate time period, the exhibitor can withdraw
from the contract. The exhibitor does not have any more far-reaching rights. Exhibitors do not have alegal claim to admission unless such a claim results from the law. Exhibitors who have not fulﬁlled theirﬁnancial obligations to Messe Muenchen India, e.g., in respect of previous events, or have infringed theregulations governing the use of the event grounds, or the terms of participation, may be excluded fromadmission. Messe Muenchen India is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to terminate thecontractual relationship forthwith without notice if admission was based on incorrect or incomplete
statements by the exhibitor, or if, at a later date, the exhibitor no longer fulﬁls the conditions foradmission. Only declared and admitted articles shall be exhibited. Messe Muenchen India has the rightto remove any other exhibits at the exhibitor’s risk and expense.
Hired or leased articles shall not be exhibited. Messe Muenchen India is entitled to remove such objects
at the exhibitor’s risk and expense. An exception is made in the case of objects which are not part of theexhibitor’s range of goods, but which are required for their display (e.g. for demonstration purposes).
Co-exhibitors shall not be admitted, nor additional organizations represented, unless expressly
speciﬁed in the notice of admission. Messe Muenchen India may exclude speciﬁc exhibition objects
from the admission and link the admission with conditions. The exhibitor’s reservations, conditions, andparticular wishes (e.g. regarding location, exclusion of competitors, stand construction or design) will
be taken into account only if expressly conﬁrmed in the notice of admission. Space will be allocatedaccording to Messe Muenchen India’s requirements and the prevailing conditions, and in accordancewith the classiﬁcation system for the trade fair as applied by Messe Muenchen India at its own
discretion, and not according to the order in which applications are received.
A 3. Rental contract
The rental contract comes into force when Messe Muenchen India has notiﬁed the exhibitor in writingthat he is admitted. This generally occurs when layout planning has been completed.
The allocation of the other stands, in particular of neighbouring stands, can change by the time the trade
fair opens. Messe Muenchen India is also entitled to relocate or close entrances to and exits from thetrade fair grounds and halls, and to make other structural alterations.
Exhibitors cannot make claims against Messe Muenchen India because of such changes.
Messe Muenchen India may also subsequently, ie, after the rental contract and the stand assignment
have come into force, change space allocations, and in particular change the location, type,
dimensions and size of the exhibition area rented by the exhibitor, insofar as this is necessary forreasons of safety or public order, or because the trade fair is oversubscribed and further exhibitors must
be admitted or because changes in assignments of exhibition space ensure that the facilities and spacerequired for the trade fair are used more efﬁciently. However, such subsequent changes may notexceed the scope which the exhibitor can reasonably be expected to accept.
Should such subsequent changes result in a lower participation fee, the difference in amount will be
refunded to the exhibitor. Further claims against Messe Muenchen India are excluded.
If exhibitors cannot use their stand space or are impaired in the use of their stand because they haveinfringed legal or ofﬁcial regulations or the Terms of Participation A and B or the Technical Guidelines,
they are nevertheless obliged to pay the participation fee in full and to pay Messe Muenchen India
compensation for all damage caused by themselves, their legal representatives or employees;
exhibitors are not entitled to cancel or terminate the contract unless the law speciﬁcally entitles them todo so.
A 4. Co-exhibitors and additionally represented companies
A co-exhibitor is one who presents his own goods or services, using his own staff, at the stand ofanother exhibitor (the main exhibitor). This deﬁnition includes group companies and subsidiaries.
Agents and representatives are not admitted as coexhibitors.
In the case of an exhibitor who is also a manufacturer, an additionally represented company is any othercompany whose goods or services are offered by the exhibitor. If an exhibitor who is a distributor
displays not only the products of one manufacturer but also goods and services of other companies,
then these count as additionally represented companies.
Admission of the exhibitor does not mean that a contract exists between Messe Muenchen India andthe co-exhibitors or other companies he represents. Co-exhibitors are admitted against payment. This
also applies to additionally represented companies if speciﬁed in the Special Terms of Participation B.
The exhibitor must make this payment. The amount can also be invoiced subsequently by Messe
Muenchen India.
The exhibitor is responsible for ensuring that his co-exhibitors and other companies he represents
comply with the Terms of Participation A and B, the Technical Guidelines as well as the instructions of
the Trade Fair Management. The exhibitor is liable for the debts and negligence of his co-exhibitors or
additionally represented companies as if they were his own. If co-exhibitors make direct use of Messe
Muenchen India services, by submitting the required application forms Messe Muenchen India is
entitled to invoice the exhibitor for these services.
A 5. Cancelling the contract
Messe Muenchen India reserves the right to make changes to location, type, dimensions or size of theexhibition area rented by the exhibitor depending upon the venue owner, ﬁnal layout plans, utility
services plan and keeping in mind the security and safety of the venue premises.

The exhibitor shall not be entitled to cancel the contract in such cases unless these represent asigniﬁcant change that make the participation of the exhibitor in the event impossible or infructuous andMesse Muenchen India is unable to provide a like-for-like replacement to the exhibitor. In such cases,
the exhibitor may cancel the contract and seek refund of the refundable portion of the participation fees.
The exhibitor acknowledges that Messe Muenchen India prepares the venue and makes arrangements
for the event well in advance in accordance with the booking made by the exhibitor which involves
considerable upfront expenses on part of Messe Muenchen India. Therefore, in no circumstances otherthan the case covered above, the exhibitor is entitled to withdraw or cancel the contract after booking
and if the exhibitor does so, Messe Muenchen India shall be entitled to retain the whole of participation
fees paid (non refundable deposit) as well as claim the unpaid portion of the participation fees
(refundable portion) as if the contract has not been cancelled.
Messe Muenchen India in such cases shall also be free to provide the space booked by the exhibitor toanother exhibitor and this shall not affect Messe Muenchen India’s right to claim the full Participation
fees paid / payable by the exhibitor.
Messe Muenchen India is entitled to withdraw or to terminate the contract if the exhibitor fails to meet his
ﬁnancial obligations to Messe Muenchen India on time, Messe Muenchen India has the right but not the
obligation to extend the deadline by 5 days and this deadline for payment has not been met. Thisapplies especially if the exhibitor is in default of payments for the down payment of 30% for the
projected participation price. Messe Muenchen India is also entitled to withdraw or to terminate from thecontract if the exhibitor neglects his duty arising from this contract to respect Messe Muenchen India’s
rights, objects of legal protection and interests and Messe Muenchen India can no longer reasonably be
expected to adhere to the contract or if the exhibitor fails to comply with rules and regulations as
required for his performance of the contract under this document. In the aforementioned cases Messe
Muenchen India is entitled not only to withdraw from the contract but also to demand from the exhibitor
the agreed participation fee as ﬂat-rate compensation. Messe Muenchen India’s right to claim further
damages remains unaffected. The exhibitor can demand that the ﬂat rate compensation be reduced if
he proves that Messe Muenchen India has sustained less damage.
Following issued acknowledgment, a compensation shall be charged when the exhibitor withdraws
from the contract: Earlier than 8 weeks before the show – 30% of the participation fee. Within 8 weeks
before the show – 50% of the participation fee. Within 4 weeks before the show – 100% of theparticipation fee.
A 6. Force majeure, cancellation of the event
If Messe Muenchen India is compelled, as a result of force majeure or other circumstances beyond its
control (e.g. failure of the power supply, terrorist threats, natural disasters, inclement weather, war,calamities, outbreak of disease or epidemics and associated travel advisories or restrictions etc.), tovacate one or more exhibition areas, temporarily or for longer periods, or to postpone or curtail the tradefair, the exhibitors do not thereby acquire the right to withdraw or cancel, nor do they have any otherclaims against Messe Muenchen India, in particular claims for damages.
If Messe Muenchen India cancels the event because it cannot hold the event as a result of force
majeure or other circumstances beyond its control, or because it has become unreasonable for Messe
Muenchen India to hold the event, Messe Muenchen India is not liable for damages and disadvantages
to exhibitors arising from the cancellation of the event.
In such cases, Messe Muenchen India shall be entitled to retain the whole of the participation fees paidby the exhibitor.
A 7. Participation fees
The participation fees are calculated in accordance with the rates speciﬁed in the Special Terms ofParticipation (see Part B “Participation fees”). Each square metre or part thereof will be included in full in
the calculation, the ﬂoor area always being considered rectangular, without taking account ofprojections, supports, service connections and the like.
The applicant shall be invoiced for 100% of the projected participation price shortly after his application.
This ﬁrst payment will be refunded if the applicant is not admitted to the trade fair, but will be forfeited if
unilaterally the applicant withdraws totally from the undertaking. The exhibitor shall receive an invoice
for the remainder of the participation price after stand assignment. Payment of the invoices is due
immediately unless other payment deadlines are stated in the invoices. Payment of the participation
price as well as payment for admitting co-exhibitors is a prerequisite for occupation of the exhibitionarea.
If exhibitors have ordered Messe Muenchen India services, Messe Muenchen India is entitled towithhold such services, including the supply of electricity, water, compressed air, etc., until the exhibitor
has fulﬁlled his ﬁnancial obligations to Messe Muenchen India. This applies in particular to obligations
arising from previous events. Terms and conditions of payment are in accordance with the Special
Terms of Participation (see Part B “Terms of payment”).
