1. Advertising Opportunities:
During numerous events at the Düsseldorf exhibition grounds, there is the possibility to conduct outdoor advertising outside the halls and around the exhibition area. Exhibitors participating in the respective events may advertise for themselves and their products during the duration of the event. Individuals who are not participating in the events are excluded from advertising.

2. Rental of Advertising Spaces:
Certain advertising spaces can be rented. Such a rental agreement is concluded through the application of the renter (exhibitor) to Messe Düsseldorf GmbH and its written confirmation. FRANKE DAUERWERBUNG GmbH + Co. KG, Arena-Straße 1, 40474 Düsseldorf, is responsible for processing. Oral, telegraphic, or phone agreements or communications require written confirmation from Messe Düsseldorf GmbH to be effective. Changes or additions, as well as conditions deviating from these terms by the renter, will only be valid if expressly confirmed in writing by Messe Düsseldorf. Messe Düsseldorf reserves the right to terminate the rental agreement if the content or presentation of the intended advertising message contradicts applicable law, the regulations applicable to the exhibition grounds, or the event itself. In such cases, the renter is not entitled to any claims for damages, and no rental fee is to be paid.

3. Rights and Obligations of the Renter:
With the rental agreement, the renter is granted the right to use the specific location designated in the contract for advertising signs or posters. The renter commits to pay the specified compensation in the contract. The rental fee does not include the costs for the creation, installation, and dismantling of the advertising signs or posters.

4. Installation and Dismantling:
For technical safety and timing requirements of the respective event, advertising signs or posters may only be installed and dismantled by Messe Düsseldorf at the rented advertising spaces. The necessary frames will be provided. The fees for installation and dismantling will be agreed upon separately in the contract.

5. Production of Advertising Materials:
The renter may commission Messe Düsseldorf or third parties to produce the advertising signs or posters. If Messe Düsseldorf is commissioned, designs must be received no later than five weeks before the start of the setup period. The costs associated with production will be charged to the renter. If the renter does not commission Messe Düsseldorf but carries out the services themselves or assigns them to a third-party company, the renter agrees to comply with the material specifications, constructions, and dimensions specified by Messe Düsseldorf. The produced advertising signs must be delivered to Messe Düsseldorf or a designated location by the first setup day at the latest to ensure timely installation. The signs must be picked up within three days after the event ends, and the renter is responsible for disposal.

6. Liability and Responsibilities:
If delivery deadlines are not met, the renter is liable for any additional costs incurred. Messe Düsseldorf is released from all liability in this regard. If the rental area is not available due to circumstances for which Messe Düsseldorf is not responsible, Messe Düsseldorf is released from its obligation. The renter is also not required to pay rent if the circumstances are not attributable to the renter.

7. Adjustments and Cancellations:
Messe Düsseldorf reserves the right to relocate entrances and exits to the exhibition grounds and halls, as well as passages. Minor impairments to the rented advertising spaces—such as due to stand constructions, tree groups, or scaffolding—do not entitle the renter to a reduction in rent. A withdrawal from the rental agreement is only possible up to 90 days before the event begins. This declaration must be in writing and will only become effective upon receipt by Messe Düsseldorf. The renter must pay 25% of the rental amount unless they can prove that the costs incurred are too high.

8. Payment Terms:
The collected fees are due regarding rent three weeks before the event begins and, for other services, from the date of service, at the latest from the invoice date. All fees are net amounts, with value-added tax indicated and to be paid by the renter at the legally specified rate. Commissions to advertising agencies are not paid.

9. Additional Terms:
Supplementary to these terms are the participation conditions of the event and the technical guidelines. Messe Düsseldorf is only liable for intent or gross negligence. The place of performance and jurisdiction for all mutual obligations is Düsseldorf, or at the discretion of Messe Düsseldorf, the renter's location. This also applies to claims from checks and promissory notes. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. The German text is binding.
