In such case the affected Party may terminate this Agreement, without liability, upon written notification.
  2. HOLD HARMLESS: The EEEA cannot be responsible for accidents, injury, or loss of property. Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold EEEA, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, or liabilities for injury or death of any person, or loss or damage to property, including attorney fees, which arise out of the use of Enumclaw Expo Center property or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted, or suffered by Vendor in or about the property, except only such injury or damage as shall have been occasioned by the sole negligence of the EEEA. Vendor assumes all risks and hazards incidental to such participation by Vendor and/or event participants.
  3. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS: Vendor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the event (from arrival of load-in to departure of all participants) commercial general liability insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from, or in connection with, Vendor use of space at the Enumclaw Expo Center. If alcohol is approved for the event, Liquor Liability insurance must be included. A copy of each of the Certificate of Insurance and Policy Endorsement must be provided to EEEA no later than 30 days prior to the event. Such insurance shall be no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage and $2,000,000 in the aggregate and be primary and non-contributory. The required insurance policy is to be endorsed to (1) name the Enumclaw Expo and Events Association, its officers, officials, employees, and agents as additional insured and (2) shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, reduced in coverage or limits except after 45 days prior written notice to the EEEA.

Credit card payments are processed via the Payment Portal on our website.
  5. BREACH OF CONTRACT: If the Vendor violates the terms of the Vendor Guide: Rules and Regulations, EEEA reserves the right to declare this contract void without further notice to the Vendor and shall revoke such rights and privilege as may have been granted. In the event of such cancelation, the Vendor along with any employees, agents and/or volunteers will immediately vacate the grounds. Management will assess and advise of the best procedure for closing the booth and loading out.

  7. SERVICE ANIMALS: The Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) includes provisions prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities who use a service animal to assist them with their specific disability.

The work or tasks performed by the service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability.” Service animals must be on a leash or lead and a member of your party must always remain with the animal. Currently, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides no definition of therapy, comfort, or emotional support service animals and as such are not considered service animals and are not permitted at Enumclaw Expo Center. No pets allowed.

Vendors are encouraged to secure your booth to the best of your ability at the end of each day.
