To ensure a successful event for everyone, please note the following key guidelines:

• Product Quality: Products and services must be high-quality, unique, and appropriate for our events. No food/beverage sales without a special permit. No illegal, offensive, or harmful items.

• Professional Conduct:  Maintain a professional and respectful demeanor at all times. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Secure necessary permits, including food handler cards (if applicable), and ensure your booth meets health and safety standards. Vendors are liable for any damages, injuries, or losses arising from their participation.

• Promotion is Key:  Follow C.A.V.E. on Facebook and Instagram. Share the event flyer and promote the event at least twice monthly on your social media, linking back to www.CommunityandVeteranEvents.com or our Social Media Handles. C.A.V.E. may use your business name, logo, and product images for promotional purposes.

• Fees & Cancellation: Vendor fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Payment signifies agreement to these guidelines. 1 Vendor No Show, with no communication will result in an automatic ban of ALL C.A.V.E. Events. 2 Vendor cancellations with less than 48 hours notice will result in a temporary hold of 3 events or 3 months, whichever comes first.

• Vendor Diversity:  We aim for vendor diversity. Direct sales brands (e.g., Mary Kay, Avon) are typically limited to one representative per event. The first paid vendor is accepted. Refunds will be issued if multiple vendors from the same brand apply in 30 business days.

• Food Vendors:  Must provide proof of compliance with Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department food safety regulations (including valid food handler's permit) 10 business days prior to the event. Failure to do so forfeits your space and fee. Apply for a temporary food vending event permit at: https://tpchd.org/healthy-places/food-safety/temporary-events/
