Pre-payment is appreciated but not required to book tables. However, each vendor who does not pre- pay must submit a credit card number that will be charged if the vendor fails to appear for a show or fails to pay at the show.

Vendor Rules

Exhibitor Payment – It is our goal to provide Repticon exhibitors with an economically lucrative venue in which to conduct business.  In that spirit, we do not require vendors to pre-pay for tables prior to an event.  However, we do require every vendor to submit a credit card number on their vendor application to confirm space.  As long as payment is made by the close of the show, this credit card will not be charged.  However, if payment is not made by the close of the show, this card will be charged for the total table rent due.

Access to Facilities - Exhibitors will have access to the event facilities only during the times specified in the load-in and load-out schedules.

Theft of Exhibitor Property – Each exhibitor is expected to appropriately display their materials and staff their tables in order to prohibit shoplifting or theft.  Repticon is not responsible for any theft before, during, or after each event.

Exhibit Look - Each exhibitor is expected to create a professional, attractive display area in their space. Table skirts are recommended for each table, but not required.

Violation of Event Rules – Repticon reserves the right to strictly enforce the event rules. Any vendor who is determined to be in violation of these rules by Repticon will be, at Repticon's discretion, removed from the show. Exhibitors instructed to leave must immediately vacate the host facility premises. Exhibitors refusing to comply will have their materials removed at their expense, and will bear all risk of damage associated with the movement of their materials and animals.

Any exhibitor creating a hostile situation with other vendors, guests, or event staff will also be removed under these same terms.

No exhibitor who is removed from the show for any reason will be entitled to any refund of any fees, or any monetary damages

Exhibitor Fines – Each Repticon event is carefully constructed to offer a wide variety of animals and products for Repticon guests to experience, while at the same time keeping the overall vendor number lower than many shows so that each vendor has a better opportunity to make sales at the show.  As a result, the absence of any particular vendor who has committed to participate in a show can create significant disruption to the show.  To protect the integrity of the show while maintaining a vendor number that is beneficial to Repticon vendors, the following penalties have been instituted:

show opening will be charged his or her full table rent, plus an additional $50/table/show-day fine for each table that the vendor had committed to fill.

product before the show closes, or creates empty tables through product consolidation before the show closes will be charged his or her full table rent, plus an additional $50/table/show-day fine for each table that the vendor had committed to fill.

The fines described above will be charged to the credit card used to hold the table space.  By signing this exhibitor agreement, each exhibitor agrees to abide by this penalty structure and fully authorizes any charges described above.

Non-Venomous Animal Policies

Handling Animals - Exhibitors who choose to remove animals from their enclosures or allow guests to handle their animals are responsible for maintaining control of the animals at all time. Each exhibitor is exclusively liable for any damage to property or personal injury resulting from handling of their live animals on the host facility premises.

Escaped Animals - Each exhibitor is responsible for ensuring that no animals leave their exhibit area unless under the control of an employee or customer. Each vendor is responsible for recapturing any escaped animals without unreasonable disruption to other exhibitors or guests. Any escaped animals must be immediately reported to Repticon.  Any lost animals that are found after event hours or after the event closes become the property of Repticon, with no obligation for return to the original owner.

Wild-Caught Animals - There is no restriction regarding sale of legal, wild-caught animals. Exhibitors are not required to display any particular signage, but are required to disclose any pertinent information to interested guests, including whether a particular animal is wild-caught or captive bred.

Guests Bringing Animals - Guests will be allowed to bring up to two animals inside the event to trade,sell, or discuss with exhibitors and fellow guests. We feel strongly that this interaction will provide guests with an additional opportunity to engage in discussion with exhibitors and will generate excitement among event attendees.

Mammal Policy for South Carolina - No mammals indigenous to South Carolina are allowed. Mammals coming from out of state must have a veterinary health certificate dated within 7 days of show.

Venomous Animal Policies
(for South Carolina Venomous Shows Only)

Waivers - All vendors with venomous snakes must sign a waiver upon check in and have all customers do the same.

Containers - All venomous reptiles must be housed in secured, taped and unbreakable containers and labeled as such prior to the customers leaving with purchase.  No venomous reptiles may be removed from containers and lids of such containers shall not be removed, except in the hot room. NO venomous reptile will be taken out of its container nor will the container be unsealed under any circumstances other then in the hot room.

Sales Policies & Procedures - Venomous snakes are not to be sold to anyone under 18 or to anyone who obviously does not possess the knowledge or experience to handle venomous snakes.  Venomous reptiles which have been sold will be tagged and remain at vendors' booth until buyer is departing from show. Customer is to sign a waiver; then advise customer to return when ready to depart  from the building. At this time the vendor will give the waiver and reptiles to show staff or Herp society volunteers who will escort the customer as they exit the show. Any vendor not adhering to this policy and giving their customers venomous reptiles purchased will be ejected from the show immediately and no refund issued.
