Terms and conditions

These are the terms and conditions for the Volunteering and Part Time Jobs Fair.

Bookings

The allocation of space for our Fair will be done on a first come first served basis. Exhibitors are required to complete the online booking request form and provide the required details in order to book a stand at the Volunteering and Part Time Jobs Fair.

Bookings are only confirmed once processed by the Employer Engagement Team and or the Engagement and Partnerships Team, and confirmation has been communicated back to the exhibitor.

Cancellation policy

Organisations are required to inform the Employer Engagement team in writing should they wish to cancel their booking to attend the Fair.

Insurance disclaimer

All organisations attending the event must hold full public and employee liability insurance. Organisations are responsible for any equipment they bring onto the University campus.

Neither the Careers Team, Engagement Team, nor De Montfort University, will accept liability for any losses, damage or disappearance of property used by the exhibitor in connection with their participation in the event.

Health and safety

Visitors should observe the University’s No Smoking Policy at all times.

Visitors are not permitted to bring any item onto the University’s premises that could endanger others (e.g., hazardous equipment such as gas cylinders, halogen gas and/or unmaintained equipment). The University reserves the right to check any equipment and to refuse its use if deemed unsuitable or unsafe.

All visitors are under a duty of care to report situations they believe to be potentially hazardous. In the context of fire prevention this may be something which could lead to an outbreak of fire (e.g., unsafe storage of flammable materials) or something which would hinder the safe evacuation of the premises in the event of a fire (e.g., obstruction of fire escapes).

All staff attending the event on behalf of your organisation should have received appropriate health and safety training e.g., manual handling and are responsible for their own health and safety.

Electrical equipment

Exhibitors are expected to bring their own extension leads. All electrical equipment (including extension leads) must have passed the portable appliance test and carry the appropriate sticker. The University reserves the right to check any organisations electrical equipment and to refuse its use if deemed unsuitable or unsafe.

Car parking

A maximum of 1 parking space can be allocated for each organisation exhibiting at the event providing it is requested via the form, as parking is limited on campus. Designated visitors must park in the designated University car parking spaces. Additional spaces can be found at a number of local pay & display car parks. Neither the Careers Team, Engagement Team nor De Montfort University, will accept liability for any charges/fines incurred by exhibitors parking on the University campus or private property.

Information and publicity

In order to comply with the Data Protection Act, please use any personal information obtained at the event solely for its stated purpose. It must not be passed on to any third party.

For our own publicity purposes, there will be a photographer/videographer capturing photos/videos on the day.
