Trading Post terms and conditions

Some important information before you start:

1. The Trading Post is our convention's "Dealers' Den". It takes place for one day, one afternoon.

2. You need to be a registered attendee to apply for a table. You can apply as a residential or non-residential attendee.

3. The Trading Post will take place in the Baron's Hall at Lumley Castle. The number of tables is limited. For your best chance of getting a table, be sure to fill in the form as soon as possible in as much detail as you can.

4. If any assistant of yours wishes to sell items of their own, they must fill out their own Trading Post application form.

5. Should you be accepted, you will be informed of updates surrounding the Trading Post by your preferred method of contact (either Discord or Telegram), including dates, times, and potential promotional opportunities to the lead up of the convention. Time will also be allocated for you to access the Baron's Hall to set up your table prior to the opening of the Trading Post, as well as tear down when it closes.

​

We also have some Terms and Conditions that we require all applicants to follow, should they be granted a table at the Trading Post:

1. All businesses are responsible for the safety of their property, equipment, and individuals operating their table. They must ensure their actions do not cause any harm to themselves or other individuals, nor cause any harm/damage to merchandise or equipment at other tables. This includes the use of any electronics. PAT testing might be arranged at the convention prior to the Trading Post, but this is not guaranteed.

2. Any stands or structures used to display and promote your items must be sturdy, appropriate, and not obstruct or potentially overlap other tables. They must also only display items towards the front of the table, and not at the sides, as this could lead to misunderstandings with other tables.

3. We do not accept items being sold that are generated with AI, or works that were created by others that you do not have permission to sell.

4. We do not accept items being sold that include or reference symbols, words, gestures, or phrases that are considered hate speech or relate to hate groups, as this violates our convention Code of Conduct.

6. No food or drinks are allowed to be sold, especially alcohol. However, commercially sourced pre-wrapped sweets are permitted if given for free to attendees.

7. No drugs or controlled substances are to be sold which would violate clause 8 of our Code of Conduct.

8. Props are allowed to be sold ONLY if they adhere to clause 14 of our Code of Conduct. This means any non-metal props are allowed, but any that are metal, fire, or potentially hazardous props are not as they are only allowed to be kept in your room or for use outside the property.
