Market Policies and Procedures

  1. I understand that vendor fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. If I cannot attend, I will notify the market manager and forfeit my fees. I understand I cannot swap my booth with another vendor. All vendors must apply and be approved by the market manager. Refunds and credits are ONLY provided if the market manager cancels or postpones the market.
  2. I understand that market hours are pre-set. I will attend and stay for the whole duration of the market. I will also arrive and my table will be ready and set up for customers when doors open. I also understand the takedown time is limited.
  3. I understand that the market manager will create the floor plan and special requests will be heard and accommodated, only when possible.
  4. I agree that supporting marketing and promotion efforts is important to the success of the market. If accepted to the market, I will promote the market on my social media channels.
  5. For prepared food vendors - I agree to have all of the proper Fraser Health paperwork and provide it to the Market Manager.
  6. I understand that if I do not pay the market fee by the deadline indicated, the market manager will move to the next vendor on their waitlist. My spot is only guaranteed once payment is made.
