Space Agreement Every concession or commercial exhibitor participating in the Event must have a signed space agreement. The signed agreement is the only document that guarantees a space on the festival grounds. The space agreement must be signed by the participant and by an authorized represented of the Stampede prior to participation in the Event. Upon execution of the space agreement, it is the responsibility of each individual or business to abide by all the terms and conditions of the Space Agreement and these Rules and Regulations. Failure to comply may constitute grounds for termination of the space agreement and may result in forfeiture of all payments, rights and privileges of the individual or business. The Stampede retains final decision on space assignments and reserves the right to adjust charges if justified. Space agreements are for the current event only and do not carry over from year to year. Only those products or services that are listed in the Space Agreement may be promoted, sold or displayed. If a request to sell or promote certain items on the application is not reflected on the Space Agreement, those items or activities were not approved. Any changes in the availability of items for sale, the purpose or activity, or a change in the amount of space must receive approval from the Greeley Stampede before the change can be instituted and must be included in a written amendment to the Space Agreement. Should participants fail to submit required documents and fees, as stated in the Space Agreement or these Rules and Regulations, the Stampede reserves the right to cancel the Space Agreement. Payment Schedule Payment should accompany the return of your signed Space Agreement. Payment must be made by the due date or the Space Agreement may be withdrawn.

The payments are due according to the specified dates on the Space Agreement. Any service or utility fees not included in the Space Agreement are due upon receipt of a bill.

Checks will not be accepted after June 1, 2016. All Space Agreements must be paid in full prior to opening of business on the first day of the Event. If the concessionaire or exhibitor has not paid in full and opens for business, the Stampede has the right to close the booth until full payment is made or cancel the Space Agreement without further notice and have the concessionaire or exhibitor immediately remove merchandise/equipment from the Event.
