B. Participants

1. Participants of the event are exhibitors / manufacturers, co-exhibitors and visitors. 
2. An exhibitor/manufacturer is anyone who registers to participate in the event with their own stand, their own staff and their own offer. 
3. Co-exhibitors are those who appear at the stand of an exhibitor/manufacturer with their own staff and their own range. These include e.g. B. also group companies, subsidiaries and affiliated companies or additionally represented companies that have close economic or organizational ties to the exhibitor / manufacturer. However, anyone who has goods or services offered by the exhibitor/manufacturer at the exhibitor’s/manufacturer’s stand without their own staff is also a co-exhibitor. 
4. A visitor is anyone who visits the event without being an exhibitor/manufacturer or co-exhibitor.

C. Registration, conclusion of contract

1. Exhibitors/manufacturers and co-exhibitors must be registered by the exhibitor/manufacturer. Registrations must be sent to Jets & Props in writing, by fax or by email using the registration form.

They are jointly and severally liable for all claims arising from this contractual relationship. 
4. The registration represents a contract offer; the sending does not justify a claim for admission. The registration is also free of any additional comments or conditions within the meaning of § 158 BGB.
