Exhibitor must provide GOFAR with required proof of insurance upon booth approval or mandature before 2023 Sept. 18th, whichever is later.

If exhibitor’s policy is cancelled or terminates prior to FIRA USA 2023, exhibitor must provide GOFAR with satisfactory proof of new or continued insurance within 15 days of such cancellation or termination.

Responsibilities
Each partner must hold an insurance policy covering all damages caused to third parties and for which he/she would be held personally responsible.
Surveillance of the stands is organized under the best circumstances by the organizer who is in no way responsible for thefts, losses… In the event of any incident on the stands that could lead to their closure, the partners have no recourse against the organizer.
Generally, the organizer declines all responsibility for any incident beyond his control that could disrupt the event operations and cause any harm to the partners. The organizer ensures the general security throughout the duration of FIRA within public opening hours.
Guarding is covered when setting up and dismantling facilities. The organizer will take all necessary measures to make sure that guarding remains effective outside opening hours. It is up to the partners to carefully monitor their equipment. The exhibitors must allow free access to electrical boxes and not block the emergency exits near their location.
By attending FIRA, the partner undertakes to comply with all the general provisions and existing regulatory requirements, including labor law, security, etc.
