Where commission is applicable takings should be reported to the event organisers within 10 days of the close of the event, once an invoice is issued for commission it is due on receipt.
It will be assumed the commission figures provided are inclusive of VAT as such our invoice calculation will include VAT. If a calculation is provided where VAT is exluded from the commission then this should be reported to the event organisers.
Traders selling on commission must use a suitable till to record sales and be able to produce a sales report if requested by the organisers
Traders found to be incorrectly declaring takings for commission may be liable for legal actions
- For organisations making an application under the 'Equip & Advance Stands' initiative Ground Level makes no guarantee of stand availability or pricing, your application will be considered and may be countered by a proposal of what Ground Level deems acceptable at the time depending on stand availability, the diversity of organisations already confirmed and the financial capacity to reduce prices.
- All organisations agree to be bound by these terms, the cancellation terms for both marketplace and advertising bookings. Oragnisation and their agents also agree to abide by Awaken's Camping and site rules.
