1. Provisions
By accepting this agreement, Isola undertakes to provide assistance before, during and after the event with the following services.
1.1 Preparation
Isola commits in helping the participant step by step, through video call or in-presence meeting, providing all the information and details needed. The participation fee includes the communication of the event and also of the individual Exhibitors on the website (personal page on the platform) and on the social profiles of Isola Design (Instagram story), on the online and offline channels offered by the Organizer, such as the creation of a press folder to share with media and press, as well as mentions on Isola press release - on the condition that the materials are received no later than the specified date. Extra services will be considered as excluded from the fee.
1.2 Event
In case of participation in a collective exhibition, Isola will provide the participant a spot in the location, overseeing the set-up of the exhibition. The Organizer will provide general lighting for the event. The location is illuminated for the days, so there is no need for additional lighting. If the exhibitor needs electric power, it will be provided, but accessories such as slippers and extensions must be provided by the exhibitor.
In case of participation in a solo exhibition, Isola will act as a mediator for location rental, that will be later entirely managed by the exhibitor.
Isola grants assistance during all the events with the team and the presence of infopoints.
2. Registration Procedure and Participation
The Exhibitor, by applying with Isola, acknowledges and expressly accepts as follows:
2.1 Application
The designer will apply with pictures/videos, descriptions, materials, and measurements of the projects they wish to exhibit, to have a full understanding of the evaluation process.
The designer agrees to provide the right information in the application form. When sharing the materials, the designer will make sure that the folder is accessible to anyone and at any time.
2.2 Project
Participants should be aware that when applying they need to inform Isola with which company name and project name they want to participate.
The project the participant applies with is the project they want to show.
After the approval of the team of the above-mentioned name and project, some changes might be possible before the content deadlines, only via a previous written agreement with Isola. The Exhibitor guarantees that the sale or use of its products and the online communication materials provided (photos, videos, etc.) don’t violate any trademark, trade name or registered Italian or foreign design. The responsibility for the violation of these rights belongs to the exhibitor. Exhibitors accept and assume responsibility for paying for any damages caused to Isola Design Group in violation of these rights. In addition, the exhibitor authorizes Isola Design Group to use commercial photos and videos sent by the exhibitor to Isola Design Group for product promotion.
2.3 Exhibition Plan
To participate in the exhibition, participants must choose among the available types of plans, which can be changed later in the application, only via a previous written agreement with Isola by observing the deadlines.
2.3.1 Dedicated location
The participant is in charge of the setup and design of the exhibition. Isola will only act as a mediator between the lessor and the lessee of the location.
2.3.2 Collective exhibition
The exhibition design is managed by Isola. The participant can choose among different plans, considering that the dimensions of the area and the positioning of it will be determined after the reception of all the materials required for the project (2.1 and 2.2).
After the approval of the participant's application, a change of plan is only possible after Isola’s approval.
