1. Stall Presentation

Stall presentation is crucial to The Nash & Dash Markets' reputation as a high-quality market supporting local makers. Stallholders must present their stalls professionally and creatively, ensuring that their layout reflects their brand story cohesively and represents their products effectively.

The Nash & Dash Markets Management reserves the right to request adjustments to stall displays that do not meet market standards. Stallholders must confine their items, including storage boxes, trolleys, and non-essential equipment, within their allocated stall space and keep them concealed during trading hours. No items are permitted outside the stall boundaries.

Stallholders are responsible for personal and public safety around their stall and must comply with all relevant Australian laws and regulations.

2. Stall Allocation

Stall allocation is at the sole discretion of The Nash & Dash Markets Management. While stallholders will be notified of their stall location in advance, it remains subject to change at any time. Stallholders must trade within the allocated stall boundaries. Relocation from an outdoor to an indoor site due to weather will incur an upgrade fee, which must be requested at least 48 hours before the market.

Approval of a stall does not guarantee future approval, and stalls may be discontinued at The Nash & Dash Markets Management's discretion.

3. Market Cancellation Due to Dangerous & Inclement Weather

The Nash & Dash Markets may cancel a market due to unsafe or extreme weather. Outdoor stallholders must bring their own marquees. In the event of cancellation, no refund will be provided. However, stallholders may roll over their booking to the next available market, with the original pricing honored.

The decision to cancel a market will be based on weather forecasts, council regulations, and BOM weather reports. Once the market begins, no refunds or rescheduling will occur.

4. Payment of Site Fee

All vendors will receive a tax invoice detailing the total fee and payment methods. Payment is due in full no later than 14 days before the market date. Failure to pay by the due date will result in booking cancellation.

5. Marquee Weights and Requirements

Outdoor stallholders must supply their own marquees and secure them with appropriate weights. Improvised weights are not acceptable. Stallholders without proper weights will be unable to trade. Pegging or staking of marquees is strictly prohibited.

Indoor sites are not permitted to have marquees unless requested.

6. Transfer of Ownership

The Nash & Dash Markets may transfer any rights or obligations under this agreement, and will notify the vendor in writing of such transfers, including sale or joint ownership.

21. Site Allocation, Power, and Liability Clause:

Market management reserves the exclusive right to determine and modify site allocations, including but not limited to altering market layout and stall locations as deemed necessary.

Power supply is not guaranteed and will only be provided upon a case-by-case assessment based on availability and operational needs.

Stallholders are responsible for providing their own power if necessary. Market management assumes no responsibility for any damage to goods, equipment, or personal property occurring during the event. Furthermore, at certain locations, loading zones may not be available, and we do not cover parking fees, fines, or any associated costs incurred by stallholders.

22. Product & Equipment Damage

The Nash & Dash Markets shall not be held responsible or liable for any damage, loss, or defect of any products supplied, delivered, or sold during the course of the event or market.
