MORE INFORMATION:
Fandoms represented include Comic Books, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Wrestling, Anime, Cartoons, Horror, Toys and Games as well as Collectibles. As such, we offer access to fans (buyers) but bear no responsibility for sales of your product. We will offer that Fayetteville is a military and working class community, and we have seen vendors do very well when they understand that economic driver. We also do our best to keep Booth Prices as low as possible (with only an 8% additional increase this year from the prices held for the final FCC show, even though our costs have increased, to give even more opportunity for our vendors to profit. Simply put, the typical guest at our shows has the ability to pay for, but not OVERPAY for items.
Revenue generated from the sale of goods in North Carolina is subject to Sales Tax, enforceable by the North Carolina Department of Revenue. For record, we ask for a Tax ID during registration, but the supply of that identification is at the discretion of the seller. With that understanding, Fayetteville Fan Fest., Raleigh Llama Productions, Inc., the Cumberland County Civic Center Commission, OVG360, Oak View Group, and their agents, representatives, and employees bear no responsibility for violations or infringements. All risk is born by the Vendor. Bootleg Merchandise is discouraged, although we will not actively police this issue, as we hold no expertise in product. If bootleg merchandise is brought to our attention, we will investigate and communicate concern to the vendor in question. We hold a responsibility to our attendees to deal in a fair and equitable fashion. Any risk associated with this topic is borne by the Vendor. In stark contrast to an item being fake, a bootleg piece has no intention of marketing itself as the real thing, the aim of a bootleg piece isn’t to copy existing pieces, only to creatively appropriate brands, mimicking the original but making it the designers own, resulting in a unique looking product. We do not allow the sale of pirated, fake or counterfeit items. If these are brought to our attention, we will investigate and communicate concern to the vendor in question. We hold a responsibility to our attendees to deal in a fair and equitable fashion. Any risk associated with this topic is borne by the Vendor, including the acknowledgement that Fayetteville Fan Fest can, at any time, restrict the ability of a Vendor to sell the item, where continued violation may result in removal from the Marketplace.
