2.2 所有參展商必須是根據適用法律在香港或其本國經營業務的合法註冊的公司 / 商業組織。主辦機構可以要求參展商在附上申請表格或在繳交費用時或隨時出示最新的商業登記證、公司註冊證書或其他公司 / 商業註冊文件、名片及 / 或產品目錄及 / 或主辦機構可能要求的其他文件

/ 材料，以證明參展商正在經營實質業務。除非經主辦機構書面通知，否則不必遞交原件，因主辦機構無法保證將之奉還。

2.3 參展商保證交予主辦機構的申請表格及所有其他文件與信息應真實，完整並為最新的。

3. 參展商獲配或特裝搭建的展台僅供參展商在展覽會期間作拓展貿易之用。在蓋建攤位以及展覽會期間，參展商必須以主辦機構滿意的方式使用攤位獲配展區。假若主辦機構不滿意參展商使用攤位的方式，主辦機構保留權利清除全部或部份已分配給參展商的或者參展商特裝搭建的攤位，毋須給予通知，所涉費用概由參展商承擔。除非本細則另有規定，否則參展商不得就展台服務費或任何其他已付款額提出退款索償。

4.3 為避免任何疑問，出於前述第 2.1 條所述之目的，主辦機構作出的收到申請表格的確認或付款請求並不以任何方式構成對參展商申請的接納，並且，不得將申請表格上所列的展台服務費視為參展商應付的最終費用。

4.4 展台服務費及應向主辦機構支付的其他一切款項均不包含任何稅項。參展商應負擔所有因參加展覽會繳交的費用而產生的任何適用稅項。若任何時候依據任何国家或地区的適用法律，參展商需要就向主辦機構支付的任何款項預提或扣除任何稅費、關稅或其他費用，則該筆應由參展商支付之款項的數額應予增加，以保證作出該等扣除或預提后，向主辦機構支付的淨額應等於倘若沒有作出該等扣除或預提本應收到的數額，且參展商應負責自行向相關機構繳交預提稅款或其他繳款。主辦機構向參展商發出的任何發票可能包含適用法律規定應予徵收的任何相關稅項。

8.1 如果網上服務已提供予參展商，則參展商可隨時修改其用戶名及密碼，但該等修改僅在主辦機構認可後方能生效。

8.2 參展商應誠意地對其用戶名及密碼給予合理關注和努力加以保密。參展商不得在任何時間任何情況下向任何其他人士透露其用戶名及 / 或密碼。

8.3 參展商應就未經授權而向任何其他人士透露用戶名及 / 或密碼負上全部責任，並應就任何未經授權人士或出於任何未經授權之目的而使用該用戶名及 / 或密碼承担所有風險。

展覽攤位的分配

內容須令主辦機構滿意 ) ，證明只更改公司名稱，擁有權並無改變；或

(b) 其他文件 ( 形式及內容須令主辦機構滿意 ) ，以證明新名稱乃屬於申請人全資擁有的附屬公司。

9.3 假若參展商的參展申請獲主辦機構接納後，現有的兩名或以上股東實行拆夥，主辦機構有權就展出權作以下安排： -

(a) 將展覽攤位授予原參展商的最大股東，並准許其使用本身公司名稱參展，唯所展示的產品類別必須與原參展商的相同；及

(b) 假若股權均分，主辦機構保留權利終止與原參展商之間的協議，並將攤位重新分配。除非有關股東能就參展權轉讓事宜自行達成協議，並於展覽會開始前最少 3 個月將有關協議通知主辦機構，則作別論。

10.2 主辦機構保留權利將曾違反本細則第 10.1 條的參展商紀錄在案，並有唯一及絕對酌情權拒絕容許該等參展商或彼等任何母公司、有聯繫人士、相關聯公司及 / 或附屬公司參加主辦機構以後舉辦的任何及所有活動。

10.3 參展商如欲在其攤位推廣、派發或展示附有其全資附屬公司或第三者公司 ( 參展商是該等公司的正式代理或分銷商 ) 名稱之名片、物品或展品 ( 推廣性質或其他性質 ) ，或容許這些公司的僱員或代表駐守攤位，必須於展覽會開始前最少 3 個月以書面向主辦機構提出申請，並連同能證明參展商與有關附屬公司或第三者公司之間關係的文件一併呈交。主辦機構有唯一及絕對酌情權決定是否批准有關申請，並會可在批准有關申請時附加其認為合適的條件。為避免任何疑問，如參展商在未得到主辦機構事先許可或抵觸上述附加條件的情況下派發或展示任何附有第三者名稱的名片、物品或展品，或允許其僱員以外人仕駐守其攤位，即會被視作違反本細則第 10.1 條處理。

10.4 主辦機構有唯一及絕對酌情權禁止參展商在展覽會佔有超過一個攤位。

3.2 Intellectual Property Rights知識產權

香港貿發局是專責促進香港對外貿易的法定機構，對於推動原創設計以及保護知識產權不遺餘力。

本局訂有一套處理展覽現場侵權投訴的程序，並聘有駐場法律顧問，以確定侵權投訴是否理據充足，協助有關方面決定採取進一步行動抑或從速解決糾紛。這些免費的投訴程序不是投訴人唯一的投訴方法，投訴人也可以向香港海關和/或香港法院提出投訴。

訂定這套程序的目的，是提醒參展商尊重他人的知識產權，並同時盡快澄清無理投訴以保障參展商的權益。

茲促請所有參展商，必須遵守香港貿發局展覽會參展規則第 36 項有關參展商權利與責任的條款，內容如下：

42.2 參展商，無論是投訴他人侵權或被人指控侵權者，同意遵守主辦機構不時發出的任何《香港貿發局展覽會保護知識產權措施：參展商須知》 (「參展商須知」) ，包括其中所列的處理投訴程序和侵權罰則。假若參展商違反或拒绝遵守《參展商須知》的任何條款及條件，主辦機構有唯一及絕對酌情權禁止參展商及其任何母公司、有聯繫公司、相關聯公司及/或附屬公司參加香港貿發局以後舉辦的任何或所有展覽會，及/或進一步禁止其代表進入參展商當時正在參展的展覽會場。

3.2. Intellectual Property Rights

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the statutory body promoting Hong Kong's international trade, is committed to fostering original design and safeguarding intellectual property rights.

We have on-the-spot procedures at our trade fairs for handling any complaint that a product on display infringes someone else's intellectual property rights. These complimentary procedures are not the only way in which complainants can file complaints. Complainants can also file complaints with Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department and/or the Courts of Hong Kong.

These procedures, carried out with our legal advisor, are designed to help establish whether there is a case to answer so that complaints may either be pursued or resolved promptly.

Our aim is as much to protect the rights of individual exhibitors to be promptly cleared of unfounded complaints as it is to uphold their obligation to respect the intellectual property rights of others.

In this respect, the attention of all exhibitors is drawn to Clause 36 of the conditions of participation, setting out rights and obligations of exhibitors at TDC exhibitions:

(For all other fairs except Book Fair)

42.2 The Exhibitor agrees that it shall comply with any "Exhibitors' Brief on the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights at TDC Exhibitions" ("Exhibitors' Brief") that the Organiser may issue from time to time, including abiding by any complaint procedures and penalties stated in the Exhibitors' Brief, whether as a complainant of infringement of intellectual property right or as a party subject to any such complaint. If the Exhibitor fails or refuses to abide by any of the terms and conditions of the Exhibitors' Brief, the Organiser shall have the sole and absolute discretion to ban the Exhibitor and any of its parent, associate, affiliated and/or subsidiary companies from any or all future HKTDC exhibitions and / or to further ban any representatives of the Exhibitor in question from entering the venue of the current HKTDC Exhibition in which the Exhibitor is participating.

42.3 假若有投訴人/參展商（「投訴人」）按照《參展商須知》向主辦機構提出投訴，並要求主辦機構對其他參展商採取行動，投訴人必須同意免除主辦機構以及其代理、代表、承包商和僱員 (包括但不限於所述各方的法律顧問)的所有責任，同時悉數賠償上述各方由於依據有關投訴或有關投訴人所作出的其他要求、指示或指令而採取的行動所招致的任何責任、損失、費用 (包括但不限於法律費用)、開支和賠償；投訴人並同意不會就有關投訴及被指控侵權事件對主辦機構以及其代理、代表、承包商或僱員 (包括但不限於所述各方的法律顧問)採取任何法律行動、或提出任何索償或要求。

3.4. Display Relevant Exhibits

3.23 Caution on Third Party Promotional Offers from Fair Guide/Expo Gudie請小心處理由第三者 (Fair Guide / Expo Guide) 提供之推廣優惠

香港貿易發展局獲悉參展商曾接獲 Fair Guide（由 Construct Data 所擁有）的邀請，在其指南中刊登名錄，費用由參展商負責。香港貿發局最近發現另一公司 Expo Guide（由 Commercial Online Manuals S de RL de CV (“Commercial Online Manuals”) 所擁有）亦向參展商發出類似信件，邀請參展商更新或更正他們于其指南中之資料作爲免費刊登名錄。香港貿發局特此澄清及重申: Fair Guide 或 Expo Guide 概與香港貿發局或本局的任何展覽完全無關。

UFI, 一個代表全球展覽業利益的國際組織，已經警告展覽業要小心警惕 Fair guide、Expo Guide 、 Construct Data、 Commercial Online Manuals 和其他類似的指南和組織。UFI 還報告說，收債公司和這些指南和組織有夥伴的關係，從而恐嚇參展商付款。Construct Data 之經營手法已被奧地利保障公平競爭協會（Austrian Protective Association) 視為不公平及誤導。最近有資料顯示，Construct Data 已從奧地利轉移其運作到墨西哥和/或斯洛伐克。

由於 Fair Guide 及 Expo Guide 的信件及訂單內容及語句幾乎完全相同, Construct Data 與 Commercial Online Manuals 可能是相關或連繫之公司。閣下因此應盡量以小心謹慎的態度處理該等邀請，以免作出不必要的財務承擔。本局特此呼籲閣下在簽署任何合約（包括以細小字體列印的合約）及附件之前，應細閱有關文件和尋求法律意見，以保障閣下本身的利益。

本局幷不建議閣下簽署任何從 Construct Data 及/或 Commercial Online Manuals 收到之文件。如閣下在錯誤情況下與 Construct Data 及/或 Commercial Online Manual 訂立合約，閣下應以書面通知 Construct Data 及/或 Commercial Online Manuals 指出基于錯誤或被誤導之情况下簽署該文件，有關合約無效。閣下應該就如何應對你可能會收到的付款要求尋求法律意見。

3.24 Smoke-Free Policy無煙政策

無煙環境健康舒適香港會議展覽中心

由 2006 年 1 月 1 日起於香港會議展覽中心範圍內禁止吸煙。此舉旨在與國際慣例看齊，並順應參觀人士及參展業者的訴求，同時亦顯示會展中心管理公司致力為這個世界一流的展覽設施提供一個健康舒適無煙環境的決心。

(GUIDELINES FOR STANDARD BOOTH)

3.22. Waste Reduction and Recovery Measures

To protect our environment, the following guidelines on Waste Reduction and Recovery are recommended:

Waste Avoidance and Minimization

a. Setting up of exhibition booth

Use re-erectable booth to reduce the amount of waste generated

b. Selection of decoration material

Use environmentally-friendly materials (e.g. recycled materials).

c. Production of publicity materials

• Print publicity materials on recycled paper.

• Minimize the number of publicity materials printed.

d. Distribution of bags

When distribution of bags is necessary, use re-usable bags or bio-degradable bags instead of plastic bags.

Waste Reuse and Recycling

a. Reuse

Collect unused publicity items, decoration materials, admission badge holders etc for reuse or recycling.

b. Recycling

Put recyclable materials including waste paper, plastic bottles and aluminium cans into the waste separation bins provided by the event organiser.

3.23. Caution on Third Party Promotional Offers from Fair Guide/Expo Guide

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has learnt that exhibitors have been receiving invitations from Fair Guide (owned by Construct Data) for listings in its guide at the exhibitors' expense. It has also come to HKTDC’s attention that another company under the name Expo Guide (owned by Commercial Online Manuals S de RL de CV (“Commercial Online Manuals”)) has sent similar invitations to exhibitors inviting them to update or correct their data with its fair directory for free listing. The HKTDC would like to stress that neither the Fair Guide nor the Expo Guide has any connection with the HKTDC or any of our fairs.

UFI, an international organization which represents the interests of the exhibition industry worldwide has been warning the exhibition industry to be vigilant against Fair Guide, Expo Guide, Construct Data, Commercial Online Manuals and other similar guides and organisations. XXX has also reported that debt collection agencies work in partnership with these guides to intimidate exhibitors for payment. The practice of Construct Data has been considered as unconscionable and misleading by the Austrian Protective Association. Recent information suggests that Construct Data has shifted its operation from Austria to Mexico and/or Slovakia.

It should be noted that the contents and wording of Fair Guide’s and Expo Guide’s letter and order form are virtually identical. It is possible that Construct Data and Commercial Online Manuals are related companies or are in some way connected. You should therefore exercise due diligence and care when being approached for such invitations so as to avoid possible unwarranted and/or unnecessary financial commitments. In order to protect your own interests, you are urged to read

the contracts (including the small print) and attachments carefully, as well as seeking legal advice, before signing any such documents.

The HKTDC does not recommend that you sign any materials that you receive from Construct Data, and/or Commercial Online Manuals. If you have mistakenly entered into contract with Construct Data and/or Commercial Online Manuals, you should notify Construct Data and/or Commercial Online Manuals in writing and inform them that you dispute the validity of the contract on the basis of mistake and/or misrepresentation. You should take legal advice as to how to respond to any demands for payment that you might receive.

3.24. Smok-Free Policy
