B. The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the "GTCS") is to define the terms and conditions for the sale of services provided by the Organiser at the Show.
C. The General Terms and Conditions of Sale (the "GTCS ") have been drawn up in accordance with the principle of transparency governing relations between the Organiser and Direct Exhibitors, and form an inseparable whole with the Registration Form and the Show Technical Guide. Pursuant to the provisions of article L 441-1 of the Commercial Code, these GTCS constitute the basis of commercial negotiations between the parties and the framework of the commercial relationship.
The GTCS are drawn up in accordance with:

• Direct Exhibitor: the term Direct Exhibitor applies to a legal entity that submits a Registration Form for the reservation and allocation of an exhibition area, a Business Chalet, an outdoor area, an aircraft display area or an individual stand, or is the organiser of a group stand or national pavilion. The legal entity receives the corresponding invoice and pays it directly to the Organiser or via its duly appointed representative.
• Indirect Exhibitor: the term Indirect Exhibitor applies to a legal entity that submits a registration and reservation request to a Direct Exhibitor, which, under its own responsibility, submits the request to the Organiser.
A Direct Exhibitor is responsible for communicating these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTCS) to its Indirect Exhibitor(s) and ensuring they are accepted and complied with by its Indirect Exhibitor(s).
The products or services presented by the Exhibitor must be classifiable under one of the following headings relating to the aerospace industry:
01. Aircraft: construction, assembly and subassemblies
02. Space, spacecraft, satellite telecommunications
03. Aircraft engines and aerospace powerplant and related equipment

3. SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE ORGANISER
The Organiser provides the Direct Exhibitor with the areas described in article 3.1 to article 3.6 below ("Site(s)"). A description of the services offered by the Organiser is provided in the Registration Form.
3.1. Covered areas in the Halls
• Bare stand (minimum surface area: 24 m2).
The Organiser will communicate the construction rules via the Technical Guide to Direct Exhibitors, which must submit their facilities projects to the Organiser for approval, independently of regulatory and administrative provisions and any certification from inspection offices with which Direct Exhibitors are required to comply.
• Mezzanine
The construction of mezzanine floors on bare stands, subject to specific invoicing per m², must comply with regulations in terms of height, depending on the hall, and standbacks (see Technical Guide).
The authorised surface area of an upper level or mezzanine construction may be no more than 50% of the stand's floor area, and is limited to 300 m².
This percentage may be revised according to the number of mezzanine reservation applications, safety regulations and constraints of the hall.
Mezzanine areas will be allocated subject to the Organisation's possibilities and constraints. Direct Exhibitors must submit their facilities projects to the Organiser for approval, independently of regulatory and administrative provisions and any certification from inspection offices with which Direct Exhibitors are required to comply.
• Turnkey stand (minimum surface area: 12 m2 ), excluding the “Avion des métiers” (Careers Plane) – see article 3.6.
3.2. Business Chalets
The Organiser provides Exhibitors with reception areas for their customers and visitors.
Chalets are delivered without interior fittings. The Organiser will communicate the construction rules via the Technical Guide to Direct Exhibitors, which must submit their facilities projects to the Organiser for approval, independently of regulatory and administrative provisions and any certification from inspection offices with which Direct Exhibitors are required to comply.
Business Chalets are allocated as a priority to Direct Exhibitors that have booked a stand or are presenting an aircraft. Several types of Chalets are available to Exhibitors per unit:
• Types A and C: 144m² with upper level
• Type B: 90m² with no upper level
• Type D: 72m² with no upper level
3.3. Bare outdoor areas - unbuildable
The Organiser provides Direct Exhibitors with bare outdoor areas (invoiced per m²), also known as "Static Display Areas", for displaying their equipment. By definition, these areas may not support any constructions.
3.4. Outdoor areas suitable for building
Outdoor areas intended for all types of construction or facilities (whether or not covered) are called "build outdoor areas" and are subject to specific pricing, whatever the nature of the facilities built by the Direct Exhibitor.
The surface area is then determined by the exact footprint of these constructions, which must be communicated by the Direct Exhibitor to the Organiser and adjusted on site if necessary.
The upper levels or mezzanines of covered buildings, subject to specific invoicing, must comply with the height regulations applicable to the geographical zone of the exhibition site (see Technical Guide).
The Organiser will communicate the construction rules via the Technical Guide to Direct Exhibitors, which must submit their facilities projects to the Organiser for approval, independently of regulatory and administrative provisions and any certification from inspection offices with which Direct Exhibitors are required to comply.
3.5. Aircraft display area
There are two ways to exhibit Aircraft at the Show:
• By reserving a bare outdoor area, invoiced per m2 as described in Art. 3.3 above, enabling Exhibitors to display their equipment and aircraft.
• By registering aircraft by tonnage: the amount of the fee is then calculated on a flat-rate basis for each aircraft displayed according to its tonnage (empty weight). If they choose this flat rate, Direct Exhibitors accept that Sites for aircraft will be decided by the Organiser according to its own criteria, in particular the areas available. In the latter case, no facilities other than the means to enter the aircraft may be built by the Exhibitor.
3.6. “Avion des Métiers” (Careers Plane)
In the “Avion des Métiers" area, the Organiser provides turnkey stands with a minimum area of 9m² to educational establishments and associations in the aerospace and defence sectors.
List of Exhibitors concerned:
• Educational establishments offering diploma courses in the field of aerospace.
• Associations providing guidance to the public on training and employment in the aerospace sectors.
4. REGISTRATION AND ALLOCATION PROCEDURES
FOR AREAS
4.1. Registration Form
The Organiser receives applications and decides on admissions, then sends a link giving access to the Registration Form.
If a request to register is deemed inadmissible by the Organiser, it is not required to give reasons for its decision. The Organiser uses its discretion to assess applications that might affect the list described in article 2, the brand image, safety/security, consistency or any other criterion that could negatively impact the Show or its organisation and reserves the right to declare such applications inadmissible.
The Organiser reserves the right to request, at any time, any additional information connected with the Registration Form and, if necessary, to change its decision regarding any registration based on false or erroneous information or information that is no longer accurate. The Organiser reserves the right to refuse access to the Show and/or expel any Exhibitor that has not complied with or has circumvented the above admission procedure.
Rights resulting from acceptance of an application are personal to Exhibitors and non-transferable. It is therefore expressly forbidden for any Exhibitors to assign, sublet or exchange, whether free of charge or for payment, all or part of the Site allocated to them by the Organiser.
4.2. Admission for Exhibitors
The Organiser's selection of Direct Exhibitors and any of their Indirect Exhibitors is based on the following criteria:
• Receipt of the Registration Form within the deadline, duly completed and signed by a person duly authorised to act on the Exhibitor’s behalf,
• Receipt of payment of the mandatory deposit for the reservation within the deadline indicated in the Registration Form,
• Compliance with the product or service list indicated in article 2 of these GTCS,
• Compliance where applicable with French regulations on the display and promotion of arms and war materiel and the availability of products or services requested.
The Registration Form is deemed to have been signed by the Exhibitor's authorised representative or any person employed and duly authorised in writing by the Exhibitor to act on its behalf.
If the Exhibitor uses an independent agent to represent it, the agent must produce, with the Registration Form, a copy of the written authorisation provided to them by the Exhibitor.
The Direct Exhibitor will remain the sole final debtor for invoices issued by the Organiser to its agent, and will be the sole party responsible and guarantor if its agent defaults.
The Organiser cannot be held responsible for any conflict that arises between a Direct Exhibitor and its agent.
Areas in the Hall, outdoor areas and Chalets will not be definitively allocated to Direct Exhibitors by the Organiser until full payment is received.
4.3. Area allocation procedures
The Organiser will draw up a plan of the Show and allocate the areas to meet Exhibitors’ requirements as far as possible.
The Organiser will allocate Sites to Direct Exhibitors in the order of arrival of signed Registration Forms and payment of the corresponding deposit.
As far as possible, with the same surface area, the Organiser will give priority to Exhibitors who took part in the previous show and are renewing their Area or Business Chalet Site, provided that their duly signed Registration Form and payment of the corresponding deposit reach the Organiser by 15 June 2024.
In any event, the Organiser remains the sole party responsible and decision-maker for the Site it allocates to any Exhibitor.
4.3.1. Specific conditions for areas in Halls
• Hall 2 A is reserved as a priority for Direct Exhibitors whose activity falls under headings 01, 02 and 03 of the product category list indicated in article 2 of these GTCS.
• Hall 2 B is reserved primarily for Direct Exhibitors that are members of GIFAS (French aerospace industry association).
• Areas in other Halls are allocated in accordance with article 4.3.
• The “Avion des Métiers" area is reserved as a priority for Exhibitors whose activity is described in article 3.6 of these GTCS.
4.3.2. Business Chalets
Exhibitors classified under headings 01 to 05 of the product category list are given priority for reserving type B chalets, directly facing the runway.
Direct Exhibitors presenting aircraft on a bare outdoor area reserved by m² are given priority in reserving type A Chalets.
4.3.3. Outdoor areas
For safety/security reasons and depending on the areas available for aircraft, the Organiser may restrict the provision of bare, buildable outdoor ground areas in the Static Display Area.
For the same reasons, all structures, even lightweight ones, must be approved by the Organiser without fail.
4.3.4. Aircraft Sites according to tonnage
The following products are prioritised in the allocation of Static Display Sites, taking into account the technical requirements of the Exhibitor and the Organiser:
• prototypes presented at the Show for the first time,
• prototypes already presented but which have undergone significant modifications and are still up to date,
• equipment using new or unprecedented techniques,
• aircraft of particular aeronautical interest.
In any event, the Organiser is the sole decision-maker as regards the Sites of aircraft registered by tonnage.
4.3.5. Presentation of aircraft
If one or more aircraft are participating on the ground or in the air, their presence is required until the last day of the Show. During the Show’s opening period from 16 to 22 June 2025, the Static Display Area is closed and any movement of aircraft is subject to the Organiser’s prior agreement.
The Organiser reserves the right to modify the Sites of aircraft during the Show if necessary.
The Organiser is responsible for providing technical assistance and airport equipment for aircraft located in the Show zone. For obvious reasons of safety/security and liability, airport assistance is provided exclusively by the company appointed by the Organiser and its subcontractors.
Participation prices for participating at the show, excluding tax, are set by the Organiser in the Registration Form. Bank charges are the responsibility of the Exhibitor. Invoicing is subject to VAT solely for Exhibitors with invoicing addresses in France at the rate and according to the rules in force in France at the time of participation in the Show and/or the date of payment(s).
The Direct Exhibitor is solely liable to the Organiser for payments due as a result of:
• Its own participation in the Show (registration fees, areas and aircraft, security deposits, eco-participation, outgoing inventory) as well as all other services linked with participation in the Show,
• Orders placed by its representatives, employees, agents and service providers acting on its behalf and under its sole responsibility as regards the Show Sites allocated to it.
Any delay in the partial or total payment of an invoice will entail the payment of a late penalty equivalent to three times the legal interest rate, and the payment of a fixed indemnity of €40 for collection costs, notwithstanding the Organiser's right to request additional compensation, with supporting documents, if collection costs exceed €40.
5.1. Down payment
Exhibitors with invoicing addresses in France are required to make a down payment including VAT, in accordance with current regulations, at the time the Organiser receives the Registration Form.
The amount of down payment due by the Exhibitor is indicated below:
DOWN PAYMENTS DUE AT RESERVATION | |
Registration flat fee per Exhibitor (all categories) | 100% |
Business Chalets | 100% |
Areas in Halls | 50% |
Outdoor areas | 50% |
Areas in the “Avions des Métiers” hall | 50% |
5.2. Balance
Payment of the balance of the Direct Exhibitor's participation is due and payable on receipt of the corresponding invoice.
If all the sums due by the Direct Exhibitor have not been received by 15 April 2025, the Organiser reserves the right to allocate reserved Sites to other Exhibitors.
Access passes to the site and the Show will only be delivered to the Direct Exhibitor, its representatives or service providers upon receipt of all sums due by the Direct Exhibitor (including the security deposit indicated in article 5.4 of this document).
5.3. Eco-participation
Eco-participation, introduced by the Organiser, is a financial contribution aimed at supporting socially and environmentally responsible projects. The amounts invoiced help to finance initiatives to improve the recycling of waste generated by Exhibitors during build-up and operation, improve the quality of working life for all stakeholders at the site, and guarantee accessibility for visitors with special needs. Exhibitors are responsible for their own waste during dismantling, and management procedures are explicitly set out in the Technical Guide.
Eco-participation is calculated in proportion to the surface area occupied (apart from stands equipped by the Organiser).
Invoicing terms are detailed in the Registration Form.
5.4. Security deposit
A compulsory security deposit is required and included in the invoice for the participation balance o (excluding turnkey stands).
The amount of the security deposit, which is indicated in the Registration Form, is calculated according to the nature and size of areas reserved by the Direct Exhibitor.
The security deposit will be refunded by the Organiser upon settlement of the Direct Exhibitor's accounts, subject to payment in full of all sums due in respect of its participation in the Show and that of any Indirect Exhibitors attached to it: badge purchases, any costs incurred in restoring the areas or Chalets provided, etc.
Joint incoming and outgoing inventories will be drawn up and signed by the Organiser and the Direct Exhibitor or its representative or interior designer.
The Direct Exhibitor undertakes to ensure that the Site is occupied at all times by its staff, representatives or Indirect Exhibitors throughout the Show period from 16 to 22 June 2025, including the General Public days (20, 21 and 22 June 2025), and during opening hours of the Show (8:30am – 6:00pm).
Exhibitors may not remove any of their materials from their Sites before the end of the Show. Failure to comply with this provision will entail the Exhibitors’ loss of any priority in renewing their Site at the following edition.
Exhibitors may not present at their Site any equipment, products or services other than those listed in the Registration Form, in accordance with the list drawn up by the Organiser and described in Article 2 of this document.
At the Show, Exhibitors may not, in any form, present or sell materials, products or services of non-exhibiting companies or companies not declared as Indirect Exhibitors by them, or advertise such companies.
No events, receptions or conferences are permitted on Sites reserved by Exhibitors outside the Show's opening hours, unless an exceptional request has been made by the Exhibitor to the Organiser and accepted by the latter.
6.1. Decoration and fittings
Exhibitors are solely responsible for decorating their own areas (indoor or outdoor areas, Business Chalets). In all cases, decoration must comply with French regulations on compliance in terms of materials, safety/security, installations and fire prevention and emergency regulations. In addition, the decoration of areas fitted out by Exhibitors or their service providers must comply with the regulations laid down by the Organiser in its Technical Guide, which defines working periods and schedules and rules concerning architecture, safety, materials’ compliance with regulations, waste sorting and good neighbourly relations between Exhibitors.
6.2. Business Chalets
Unless otherwise authorised by the Organiser, it is forbidden to display any equipment inside the Chalets or in the area surrounding them.
Any signage, advertising, logos or slogans affixed to the façade, sills or gables of a chalet must be approved by the Organiser and may be subject to invoicing.
6.3. Exemption requests
Any request for an exemption regarding the build-up or dismantling dates (schedule specified in the Technical Guide) must be made to the Organiser at least 15 days before the date in question. This will entail additional invoicing: costs are shown in the Technical Guide.
Acceptance by the Organiser is subject to validation of the Exhibitor's construction plans and acceptance of the exemption quote.
Requests to work outside worksite opening hours must be submitted to the Organiser with 48 hours' notice, and services to be provided by the Organiser (safety, emergency, assistance, etc.) will be invoiced. In any event, night work is not authorised during the Show build-up and dismantling periods, as the Organiser will provide the Exhibitor with sufficient assembly time to complete their constructions (2 to 4 weeks depending on the surface areas).
6.4. Securing exposed areas and equipment
All areas allocated to the Exhibitor, all constructions and all materials belonging to the Exhibitor are the Exhibitor's responsibility, whatever the period (build-up, opening to the public and dismantling), day or night.
The Organiser cannot be held responsible for theft or damage committed by a third party on the Exhibitor's premises, whether a stand, an outdoor area or a Chalet. Each Exhibitor is thus responsible for ensuring the security of their areas.
Each Exhibitor is allocated a quota of admission passes according to their category.
This quota, detailed in the Registration Form, is calculated according to the total surface areas (in m²) reserved and confirmed and the total number of Exhibitors registered according to their category.
No admission passes issued to Exhibitors or purchased separately by them from the Organiser’s departments may be resold.
8. CUSTOMS, TAX, SOCIAL SECURITY AND REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS
All Exhibitors are responsible for carrying out, at their own expense, the customs formalities for their materials and products coming from abroad. Any customs duties must be paid by the Exhibitors. The Organiser cannot be held responsible for any problems arising with these formalities.
All Exhibitors are responsible for carrying out, where necessary, the formalities required by their participation in the Show build-up, during the Show and during its dismantling, in particular with regard to French labour regulations and the employment of foreign workers.
Site regulations and health and safety rules will be communicated by the Organiser to Direct Exhibitors by means of the specific documentation, the general coordination plan and the safety and security measures adopted during the build-up and dismantling of the Show. Exhibitors are responsible for ensuring that all companies and any subcontractors they appoint to build up and dismantle their installations or assist them during the Show comply with specific site regulations and current French legislation.
Exhibitors are formally reminded that France is a signatory to the Ottawa and Oslo agreements, which prohibit the use, production, stockpiling or acquisition of anti-personnel mines and cluster bombs.
The promotion and display of any material or component affected by this prohibition is therefore strictly forbidden, and may result in penal sanctions.
8.1. French regulations on the export of "dual-use items
“Dual-use items" are products that can be used for both civilian and military purposes. This category includes "goods, equipment – including technology, software, intangible or intangible know-how – which may have both civilian and military uses, or which may – wholly or in part – contribute to the development, production, handling, functioning, maintenance, stockpiling, detection, identification or dissemination of weapons of mass destruction".
Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of 20 May 2021 (hereinafter the "Regulation") constitutes the common European legal basis for controlling the export, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items. It is regularly updated.
Appendix I of the Regulation lists items subject to export authorisation (transfer outside the European Union). Other items may also be subject to this authorisation by the decision of a Member State, in application of Article 10 of the Regulation.
Appendix IV of the Regulation lists the items subject to intra-Community transfer authorisation (the most sensitive dual- use items).
These authorisations are granted to the person/entity established in the European Union empowered to decide on the shipment of these items outside European Union territory (for Appendix I items) or to another member state (for Appendix IV items).
Exhibitors intending to exhibit dual-use items at the 0000 Xxxxx Air Show must first:
• inform the Organiser of the nature of the items concerned to ensure that after the Show the Organiser can return them to their country of origin under its general licence. The information required for this purpose will appear in the Exhibitor Area on the Organiser's website;
• obtain authorisation from the authorities in the items’ country of origin to export them to France for exhibition in the Show.
When these items leave French territory after the Show, they will be retransferred or re-exported to their country of origin under the general licence held by the Organiser.
9.1. Industrial and intellectual property
It is the Exhibitors’ responsibility to ensure the intellectual and/or industrial protection of the materials or products they exhibit and/or the services they offer, in accordance with current French and/or European and/or international legal and regulatory provisions. Please note: the Organiser specifies that the Show is not included in the list of events exempted from the principle of non-disclosure of inventions set out in the French Intellectual Property Code.
Exhibitors must certify that the materials or products they exhibit and/or the services they offer do not infringe any intellectual and/or industrial property rights, personality rights or other private rights belonging to a third party.
Exhibitors must hold the Organiser harmless against any action, claim or complaint from any third party in respect of the materials or products they exhibit and/or the services they offer at the Show. They undertake to indemnify the Organiser (i) for any expenses incurred by the latter or (ii) for any sums it may be required to pay to such third parties (including any damages, legal representation fees, legal costs, expert fees, postage and service charges) in application of any court ruling that becomes final, or any settlement, conciliation, mediation or arbitration.
If any measures for protection or the establishing of evidence are taken at a third party’s request at any Exhibitor's site (such as seizure), the Exhibitor must inform the Organiser immediately and make every effort to avoid any negative consequences for the Organiser, other Exhibitors and the public.
9.2. Other protected elements
Exhibitors must obtain all necessary authorisations directly from associations for the management of copyright and/or creators and/or their beneficiaries for any use, representation or reproduction of any element protected by intellectual and/or industrial property rights (including but not limited to photographs, drawings, music, texts, software, databases, films) that they use in connection with their participation in the Show, and pay all appropriate fees. They must provide proof of this to the Organiser at its first request.
Exhibitors must hold the Organiser harmless against any action, claim or complaint by any associations for the management of copyright and/or creators and/or their beneficiaries in respect of any element protected by intellectual and/or industrial property rights that they use during their participation in the Show. They undertake to indemnify the Organiser (i) for any expenses incurred by the latter or (ii) for any sums the Organiser is required to pay to any third party (including damages, legal representation fees, legal costs, expert fees, postage and service charges) in application of any court ruling that becomes final, or any settlement, conciliation, mediation or arbitration.
9.3. Trademarks, logos and names associated with the Event
In general, the use of trademarks or any associated logo or name evoking the Show in any language, including but not limited to the use of the signs “SIAE”, “55ème Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace - Paris Le Bourget”, “55th International Paris Air Show - Xx Xxxxxxx”, “Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx xx x’Xxxxxxxxxxxx et de l’Espace”, “International Paris Air Show”,; “Salon du Bourget”, “Paris Air Show”, “Paris Air Lab”, “Paris Air Mobility”, “Avion des Métiers”, “Careers Plane”, “Aleo”, “Start me up” and “L’Aéro recrute”, or any other identical or similar sign, is subject to the prior written agreement of the Organiser on a case-by-case basis, whatever the intended use (promotional, advertising, commercial, non-commercial, etc.), whether on or outside the site.
9.4. Intellectual property rights granted to the Organiser
Exhibitors expressly authorise the Organiser, free of charge, to take, or have taken, on its own behalf and in the context of its activity, particularly for the promotion of the 2025 Show and subsequent sessions, any photographs, reproductions and representations of views of the 2025 Show (the "Views").
Exhibitors acknowledge that the Views may show, clearly or not, Exhibitors’ brands, logos, signs, company name, stands, equipment or services (the "Signs"), as well as Exhibitors’ staff, customers or visitors (the "Persons Present").
In any event, Exhibitors grant the Organiser, on a non-exclusive basis, the right to reproduce, represent and adapt their Signs on any media(in particular books, catalogues, brochures, other printed matter, films, videos and, websites, as well as all other online and offline media) in all formats and by all processes (chemical, analog, digital, optical and/or magnetic, etc.) , known or unknown to date, for the entire lifespan of the Signs and/or the legal period of copyright concerning the Signs and for the entire world, with a view to the reproduction, representation, adaptation, distribution
and other exploitation of the Views for any purpose (notably promotional, advertising, commercial, non-commercial, etc.), by the Organiser and/or by any third party authorised by the Organiser.
Exhibitors are deemed to hold all rights concerning the Signs, or to have the right to use them on a regular basis, insofar as they have been granted these rights, and have obtained the necessary authorisations to use the images of the Persons Present in view of use of the Views for any purpose (promotional, advertising, commercial, non- commercial, etc.) by the Organiser and/or by any third party authorised by the Organiser, for the entire world and for the entire legal period of copyright concerning the Views or, in the absence of copyright protection, for a period of 50 years from the first use. Exhibitors undertake to make the exercise of this right enforceable against all holders from whom they derive the use.
Consequently, Exhibitors must settle with their representatives, agents, employees, service providers, Indirect Exhibitors, Persons Present, licensors or any holders of signs, any disputes arising in this respect, and indemnify the Organiser if any recourse is exercised in this respect. Exhibitors hereby hold the Organiser harmless against any action, claim or complaint by the Persons Present and/or any other third parties in respect of the use of the Views. They undertake to indemnify the Organiser (i) for any expenses incurred by the latter or (ii) for any sums it is required to pay to any Persons Present and/or other third parties (including any damages, legal representation fees, legal costs, expert fees, postage and service charges) in application of any court riling that becomes final, and any settlement, conciliation, mediation or arbitration.
9.5. Communication at the Show
Any sale of objects or any other communication medium on which trademarks or any associated logo or name evoking the Show, including but not limited to the signs “SIAE”, “55ème Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace - Paris Le Bourget”, “55th International Paris Air Show - Xx Xxxxxxx”, “Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx xx x’Xxxxxxxxxxxx et de l’Espace”, “International Paris Air Show”,; “Salon du Bourget”, “Paris Air Show”, “Paris Air Lab”, “Paris Air Mobility”, “Avion des Métiers”, “Careers Plane”, “Aleo”, “Start me up” and “L’Aéro recrute”, or more generally any logo or name belonging to or regularly used by the Organiser or any other identical or similar sign is subject to the Organiser's prior written agreement on a case-by-case basis.
Exhibitors must hold the Organiser harmless against any consequences resulting from the distribution by Direct Exhibitors and their Indirect Exhibitors of any article, information or medium resembling an official Show product or information. Exhibitors must indemnify the Organiser (i) for any expenses incurred by the latter or (ii) for any sums it is required to pay to any third party in this respect (including any damages, legal representation fees, legal costs, expert fees, postage and service charges) in application of any court ruling that becomes final or any settlement, conciliation, mediation or arbitration.
The Organiser reserves the exclusive right to put up posters on the Show's premises.
Direct Exhibitors and their registered Indirect Exhibitors may therefore only use their own company's posters and signs within their Site, excluding all others, within the limits of the regulations concerning general decoration and other specific stipulations indicated in this document.
Circulars, brochures, catalogues, printed matter or objects of any kind may only be distributed by Exhibitors in their Site. No prospectuses concerning non-exhibiting companies may be distributed at the Show.
Any illuminated or audible advertising, as well as any animation or demonstration that could result in crowds in the aisles, must be submitted for prior approval by the Organiser, which may revoke any authorisation granted if movement around the Show or the running of the Show is disrupted.
Exhibitors must not engage in any advertising or any other action that could mislead or constitute unfair competition or an infringement of third-party rights.
9.6. Catalogue
The Organiser has the exclusive right to edit, publish and distribute the Show Catalogue, whether or not for payment, in electronic or print form. It may transfer all or part of this right as well as the advertising included in this Catalogue.
Exhibitors undertake to provide the Organiser with any information required by the Organiser for creating the Catalogue (subject to confidentiality). The information required for the Catalogue will be supplied by the Exhibitors under their own responsibility and, under penalty of non-inclusion, within the timeframe set by the Organiser. If an Exhibitor cancels its reservation after the Organiser passes the Catalogue for press, the Exhibitor acknowledges and accepts that the Organiser will be free to decide at its sole discretion whether or not to maintain this information in the Catalogue and to take all measures to inform the public. Rights for the representation and reproduction of elements with
