Vendor Rules

• Vendors are not to exceed their 6x6 booth space. Any booth that extends into walkways will need to be fixed. As such, if any vendor/exhibitor has special requirements – including but not limited to large display racks, easels, stand-ups, etc. – a HorrorHound representative must approve these items, at the time the tables/space is booked, or may require vendor to pay for specialty space that does not infringe on aisles or neighboring vendors.
• Vendors are not to utilize walk areas for business, including sales solicitations outside of their 6x6' space..
• Vendors may not hang large banners in any areas of the convention except within their own vendor area.
• All vendor/exhibitor tables/space must be manned at all times during show hours set forth above.
• Vendor agrees to maintain booth until end-of-show (Sunday; 5pm). Any vendor who breaks down prior to close-of show may be fined $50 per table to be paid before future table sales are approved. Early breakdown penalty must be paid prior to next HorrorHound Weekend event.
• No space is guaranteed in any instance. Any funds paid by vendors/exhibitors will be refunded if HorrorHound does not approve vendor/exhibitor contract.

Sales Tax Information

The State of Ohio requires the seller of ANYTHING to fillout a Tax Application. Completeting the application online helps reduce the time it takes to register with the Ohio Department of Revenue. Once your application is completed and submitted, the Ohio Department of Revenue will contact you within 48 hours regarding the status of your application.

Steps

• If you are ONLY selling items in Ohio at HorrorHound Weekend during the year then select Seasonal so your Sales Tax is not due every month except for the one month you sell in.
• We do not verify/check each vendors resell certificates but considering it's a Felony to not file/register Sales Tax in Ohio the $25 cost is minimal.
