2. OPENING/CLOSING

The vendor must open and close the stall only in accordance with opening hours. It is not permitted to open or close the stall outside the specified opening hours mentioned above. The vendor undertakes to open the stall according to the stated opening hours, and it is considered a breach if the stall is not open when the market opens. If the vendor breaches this, the parties agree that the vendor must pay the organizer an agreed default fee of NOK 2,500 excl. VAT. per started hour.

If the vendor chooses not to open for sale on one or more days, failure to open is considered a material breach, and the organizer has the right to terminate the agreement with the vendor. In the event of such termination, the vendor must resign and vacate the stall and leave the area immediately, and within 12 hours at the latest. The organizer should exercise a certain reasonable judgment if the reason for not opening is due to completely extraordinary situations for which the vendor cannot be blamed. The vendor must under any circumstances notify the organizer as soon as it becomes clear that the stall will not be opened.

 

3. PRODUCTS AND PROFILING/DECORATIONS

It is only permitted to sell the products that have been approved and described in the rental agreement, or have been entered in writing and approved by the organizer. The organizer has the right to reject products that have not been registered or approved in writing by the organizer. Vendors have no exclusive right to sell their products at Jul i Vinterland, but the organizer will work to get the most varied selection of vendors and products possible. The organizer requires that the vendor himself decorates and profiles his stall in addition to the decoration that comes with the stall. The vendor himself provides the equipment, furnishings and lighting inside the booth. Only warm white lighting is permitted. Colored or flashing lights are not permitted, this applies both inside and outside the stall. The organizer will evaluate all exhibitors and stalls continuously during the event. Reasonable instructions from the organizer to raise the quality of products, general performance or stall decoration are expected to be complied with as soon as possible.

 

4. APPAREL

As part of the Jul i Vinterland concept, and to create a common thread throughout the event, vendors with employees, volunteers, organizers and everyone else who works with Jul i Vinterland must wear the event’s common clothing. Clothing will be associated with the Christmas/winter theme and help create the Christmas experience that all our guests will get by visiting Jul i Vinterland. There is an opportunity to wear warmer clothing over the sweater if necessary. Jul i Vinterland’s official clothing in 2023, produced and supplied by Twenty Four, is to be used exclusively for the event and not other Christmas markets/sales.

 

5. HYGIENE AND CLEANLINESS

For vendors who serve food, the organizer sets high standards in terms of hygiene, cleaning and waste management. We have therefore entered into a Trygg Mat agreement with Pelias AS, which throughout the period will carry out internal checks and audits in food stalls. Vendors who make use of the washroom offered undertake to follow the applicable rules for hygiene and safe food handling from Pelias AS and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. The rules will be posted and visible inside the washroom. The vendor is himself responsible for documenting his own internal routines for safe food handling. When signing the contract, exhibitors who serve food will be sent a «Requirements to the tenant» document, developed by Pelias AS, which aims to ensure that food produced and served at Jul i Vinterland is done in accordance with current regulations. This document must be signed.

At the end of the event, all booths must be left cleaned and free of staples, small nails, glue residue and the like. Damage beyond ordinary wear and tear will be charged to the vendor. For vendors who serve food and drink, the stall must be left free of food residues, grease residues and spillage.
