St Leonards Church Trading Terms and Cancellation Policy
By booking a place at Saint Leonards Church Market you are agreeing to these terms and conditions. We reserve the right to edit these terms from time to time:
1. Your booking will only be confirmed by us once the payment for your stall has been made and a receipt received. This can be done by selecting the stall size you would like and choosing the market date and preferred location. You can add a further stall hire for a different date to the cart if you wish to book more than one event. Once you are happy with your selections you will then need to pay online using the checkout by credit card, debit card or ApplePay.
2. You will then receive an email receipt for your payment with an order number. We will attempt to call you to confirm what type of goods you intend to sell and discuss any further requirements such as tables and chairs etc. Please feel free to call or text Sarah on 07738 090182 if you do not hear from us or have any questions at all, we are here to help!
3. If you plan on bringing any additional free-standing structures which will not fit within the space paid for (including art browsers, clothing rails, shelving units, peg boards, etc), we will ask for additional payment on the day.
4. We reserve the right to deny any vendor’s application if the goods intended for sale are not considered appropriate for the market and we do not allow the cooking of food on indoor market stalls.
5. You are responsible for arranging your own public liability insurance for cover up to £2m and must be covered on the day of the market in order to trade. Please reply to your payment confirmation email with a copy of your policy attached.
6. Please note if you need a 230v electricity supply for your stall for lighting, till systems, credit card terminals, scales etc. (but not for heating appliances) you can choose this as a chargeable add on option in the Stall Hire section. All electric appliances must have a PAT test and a current certificate. Please send copies of these to us by reply email. If you have bought any appliances less than a year old you will need proof of purchase. This will be checked on the day and any appliances without a certificate or proof will be removed from you and returned at the end of the day as this would make the Saint Leonards Church building insurance null and void. Thank you for your support on this.
7. Your stall location within the market will be allocated on a first come, first choice basis. You are encouraged to set up your table, clothes rails etc. on Friday afternoon between 4pm and 7pm.
