PAYMENT TERMS FOR SPI / COMPLEX / SUSPENDED LOAD FEES

Fees are to be paid online via Abraxys’ secure payment retail site www.abraxys.online. Invoices are issued only upon request. Requests for invoices must be made by email to Abraxys within the published plan submission deadline date. Fees are due at the time of submission of stand plans and in accordance with the deadlines stated in the organiser’s exhibitor manual. Late fees may apply for services ordered after the published deadline. One SPI fee is due per stand. No additional charges are made for stand plan resubmissions. For events where the SPI fee process is in place, the Complex Fee or Suspended Load fee (where applicable) is in addition to the SPI fee and is paid by You specifically to cover the cost of the structural engineer. The criteria for complex stands is described in the organisers exhibitor manual. Failure to make payment for services provided may result in permission to build not being issued. Any costs attributable to delays during the build up process as a result of non-payment of fees shall be paid for by You.

 

PERMISSION TO BUILD NOTICES

Permission to build notices issued by Abraxys may include information relative to a specific organiser and/or event. They are issued by Abraxys once the stand plan review process has been completed in full and will confirm that the stand plan submitted meets the regulations stipulated by the organiser and the venue and that all relevant fees have been paid. Permission to build notices are issued on the basis that the health and safety advice stated and provided by Abraxys and/or the event organiser and/or the structural engineer are followed. In addition all safety measures are to be applied as documented in the risk assessment and method statement submitted by the exhibitor or the nominated stand constructor. Clarification of conditions stated within permission to build notices must be raised within 3 days of the permission to build notice issued. Permission to build notices are issued to the party who submits the stand plan submission to Abraxys. Permission to build notices are non- transferable. In situations where structural changes have been made to stand plans once a permission to build notice has been issued, the permission to build notice will be invalid and the revised plans will need to be submitted to Abraxys for review.

 

SUPPLY OF GOODS

Invoices issued by Abraxys, and these terms of business, form the contract of supply of goods.

 

INVOICING

Invoices for services provided by Abraxys will have UK VAT charged at the prevailing rate where applicable. VAT will not be charged to countries in the EU where your VAT number is quoted.

CANCELLATION CHARGES

Invoice disputes or cancellations must be raised by You within 15 days of the invoice date. Where an organiser cancels an event but stand plan inspection work has already been undertaken, fees still apply to cover the cost of work completed. Where an exhibitor cancels attendance at an event but stand plan inspection work has already been undertaken, fees still apply to cover the cost of work completed.

give Abraxys the right to control the defence and settlement of such Claims, together with all reasonable co-operation, information and assistance with such defence or settlement as Abraxys may reasonably require.

This indemnity shall not apply in the event that the Claim (a) arises as a result of a breach by the Indemnified Party of this Agreement (or where the Indemnified party is a stand sharer, of the terms set out in the stand sharer form), including any failure to comply with the Exhibition Manual or (b) arises out of (i) the use of a motor vehicle or (ii) in respect of any internet liability or (c) arises out of the Indemnified Party’s own property.
