Setup:
All vendors are asked to finish setting up their space by 10:50 am. Each vendor will receive one predetermined 10 x 10-foot space. The Market Manager(s), or any authorized representative of the committee, shall have the right to ask any vendor who is taking up extra space without permission to remove any supplies in said space.
Liability:
Vendors are required to carry product liability and general liability policies as more fully described herein and must turn in a copy of their policies with this Vendor Application. Vendors waive all rights or claims against the Borough of Royersford and the Royersford Farmers Market together with their agents, officers, directors, volunteers, and employees, and shall indemnify such parties for any loss or claims arising from the vendor’s participation in the Royersford Farmers Market. All vendors must obtain a minimum of $1 million general liability insurance. Vendors must obtain a minimum of $500,000 product and premises liability insurance in addition to general liability insurance. All Vendors’ insurance must name the Borough of Royersford and the Royersford Farmers Market as “additional insureds,” and vendors must provide certificates evidencing the same to the Borough before vending.
Product Acceptance:
The Royersford Farmers Market reserves the right to approve, refuse, and limit any products to be sold at the Market. Vendors must provide a comprehensive list of all products they intend to sell at the time of application.
Choice of Vendors:
The choice of specific vendors will be made at the discretion of the Royersford Farmers Market Committee and will be made to create a balance of vendors and products. Please note: no vendor is entitled to exclusivity; more than one vendor may be permitted to sell a given product.
Regulatory Compliance:
Vendors must comply with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations that apply to their business. Those regulations include, without limitation, the following:
A. Health code provisions and licensing
B. Pesticide licensing and regulations
C. Scales approved by the area weights and measures officer
D. Organic certification for products claimed to be organic
E. Health, ingredient, and other labeling regulations
F. Any other applicable law and regulation
Responsibility for compliance lies with the vendor and the RFM is not responsible for informing vendors of all applicable laws or ensuring compliance with same.
Operation of Vendor Stands:
A. Vendors must ensure that their stands, tents, and tables are safe for the shopping public. Vendors must provide their tents and tables and must anchor them sufficiently with weights so that they will remain safe and secure in windy conditions. Tents and tables are required at the Market.
B. Set up begins promptly at 9:15 a.m. and must be completed by 10:50 a.m. For those with larger set-ups, an earlier set-up time may be arranged. (Please communicate with the Market Manager(s) before the start of the market as outlined above.)
C. Vendors may not arrive late and may not begin break-down before 2:00 pm. As it is anticipated that the Market will be a high-traffic area for pedestrians, these rules will be strictly enforced for the safety of all patrons and vendors.
D. Vendors or customers may not smoke or “vape” within the limits of the Market.
E. Vendors may not promote any political organizations or affiliations in the Market.

J. Vendors should exercise caution in parking vehicles and when unloading, reloading, and leaving.
Spaces:
Vendors will be assigned pre-determined spaces, as indicated above.
Weather:
The Royersford Specialty Market is a “rain or shine” Market and therefore, the weather does not constitute an emergency absence. In the event of dangerous forecast weather, the Market, through the Market Manager(s), will notify all vendors of abbreviated market hours or cancellations via the email address filed with the vendors’ application.
Non-Discrimination and Conduct:
Vendors may not discriminate - including, but not limited to - based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, handicap, or disability. This also includes a prohibition of any harassment, including sexual harassment.
