    We ask for your understanding that no partially or full dismantling of a stand and products is possible before the official end of IWA OutdoorClassics. The stand staff may also not be removed before the end of the exhibition. It is for the benefit of all the exhibitors and newcomers that the exhibition runs free of disruption for its entire duration.

    Please note that NürnbergMesse GmbH can impose a contract penalty on the exhibitor or newcomer for each case of contravention. The contract penalty amounts to 20% of the net stand rental, subject to a minimum of EUR 2,000. In addition, NürnbergMesse GmbH shall reserve the right to bar an exhibitor or newcomer who has caused a disruption due to the premature dismantling of a stand from the next event.
