Vendor Code of Conduct
Purpose
This Code of Conduct exists to ensure a positive, respectful, and professional environment for everyone involved. Vendors are expected to act courteously toward customers, fellow vendors, and event staff. The goal is to create a thriving marketplace experience that benefits both vendors and shoppers through cooperation and mutual respect.
Vendor Expectations
As a participating vendor, I agree to:
- Follow all event rules and guidelines provided by the event organizer or marketplace.
- Act with honesty and integrity in all business interactions.
- Treat everyone with respect. Bullying, gossip, rude, aggressive, uncooperative, or disrespectful behavior toward anyone at the event will not be tolerated.
- Avoid deceptive or exploitative practices, including misrepresenting products or event details.
- Begin breakdown and pack-up only after the official event closing time, unless specifically authorized by event management.
Issue Resolution
Vendors are encouraged to communicate directly and privately with event organizers or staff regarding any concerns or conflicts that arise during events.
Compliance
Compliance with this Code of Conduct is mandatory. Vendors who violate the code or engage in inappropriate behavior may be removed from events or denied future participation without refund.
Acknowledgment
By applying for, booking, or participating in events, vendors acknowledge and agree to follow this Code of Conduct, the applicable Vendor Guidelines, and the Cancellation & Refund Policy.
