2. Applicants must submit Sponsorship payment in full upon the City of Milton’s acceptance of the Sponsorship application. If an Applicant fails to submit Sponsorship Payment in full within ten (10) days of the City of Milton’s acceptance of the Sponsorship application, such non-payment shall reflect and be evidence of Applicant’s desire to no longer sponsor the event.
3. All events are rain or shine unless dangerous weather occurs. The Event Organizer along with City of Milton Staff have final authority to determine what constitutes dangerous weather and may postpone or cancel an event, in their sole discretion.
4. Sponsorships are non-exclusive. All businesses and organizations are welcome to apply.
5. The booth space given will occupy a 10’x10’ space unless otherwise agreed upon. Additionally, Sponsors are not to engage in aggressive selling tactics to event attendees but are permitted to include promotional materials and engage in conversation with event participants if the participant approaches the display. Booth décor should be in good taste. City of Milton Staff has the authority to require removal or modification of any display and failure to comply with City of Milton Staff’s request may result in law enforcement involvement.
6. All Sponsors are required to set-up their booths in their designated spaces on a schedule determined by City of Milton Staff. Event Management reserves the right to relocate the Sponsor’s designated space if said Sponsor fails to abide by the event schedule.
7. Sponsor acknowledges that participation as a Sponsor with the City of Milton does not confer any special consideration or benefit from the City of Milton regarding any other activity such Sponsor may be engaged in, presently or in the future, with the City of Milton.
8. Sponsor assumes all responsibility for, and risks and hazards of, participating in the Sponsorship and activities. In considerations of the City of Milton providing permission to use the space requested, you, and all members of your Sponsorship organization (i.e., company, business, nonprofit, family), do hereby release the City of Milton, including all officials, officers, employees, sponsors, organizers, supervisors, volunteers, participants and agents (collectively the “releasees”), of any and all claims, demands and causes of action of whatever kind and nature, to include any and all bodily or personal injuries, damage to property, and any other damages or injuries, whether foreseen or unforeseen, resulting from or related to participation in the Sponsorship and event activities planned in the City of Milton, and all members of your Sponsorship organization also agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the releasees from all claims for bodily and personal injuries, damage to property, and the consequences thereof arising out of you or your group’s joint or several negligence or willful conduct, to include that of your agents, servants or workmen.
