- Vendor Fee -

The fees outlined in your invoice are the total amount owed for your participation in your selected dates at the Maker's Markets.  Booths are not held until payment is received and all documents have been completed.  All booth fees will be automatically charged to the credit card on file approximately one (1) month prior to the scheduled market date. By submitting an application, vendors authorize Thompson’s Point to process payment using the card provided.

Cancellation & Payment Responsibility
Booth fees are non-refundable once charged. Vendors who cancel or fail to attend the market remain responsible for the full booth fee.  Refunds are only provided if the Market is canceled by Thompson’s Point.  If the Market is postponed, your payment will transfer to the new date.

- Vendor No Cancellations - 
Should you need to cancel your participation in a Market - we must be notified in writing in advance to avoid the possibility of being excluded from future events.

- Booths -
Thompson’s Point assigns booth locations.  Shared or oversized booths are not permitted.  Maintain booth in clean, sanitary condition; remove all trash.  Return the space to the state it was given—no permanent installations or alterations without written consent.

A limited number of booth locations may be available for advance selection at a rate of $50 per booth, subject to availability. Vendors who do not purchase a booth location will be assigned placement by the event team based on overall market layout and category balance.

Prepared Food & Concessions Policy

Thompson’s Point maintains an exclusive partner for indoor concessions and prepared food service. As a result, vendors selling ready-to-eat or prepared food for immediate consumption will not be placed inside the Maker’s Market. Vendors offering packaged specialty foods intended for take-home purchase (such as baked goods, jams, sauces, or pantry items) are still welcome to apply for indoor booth space.

Food trucks and mobile food vendors are encouraged to apply and will be placed outdoors as part of the market.

- Insurance & Liability -
A certificate of insurance is required for all participating vendors. Required insurance documents must be submitted upon acceptance to a market.  Provide a Certificate of Insurance naming Forefront Partners I, LP and Forefront Brick South, LLC as additional insured.  Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor from any claims arising from Vendor’s participation. 

- Parking & Shuttle -

All vendors are required to park in the designated off-site parking lot provided by Thompson’s Point. Complimentary shuttle service will be available to transport vendors between the lot and the venue. This policy helps ensure that on-site parking remains available for paying patrons and market guests.
