Copyright Infringement Claims
We disclaim any responsibility or liability for copyrighted materials posted on the Website or through our Services. If you believe that your work has been copied in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please follow the procedures set forth below:
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), we will respond promptly to notices of alleged infringement that are reported to our designated copyright agent.
Notices of Alleged Infringement for Content Made Available on the Website
If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Website by sending us a notice (“Notice”) complying with the following requirements.
“I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use).”
“I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”
The Notice should be delivered to admin@worldodditiesexpo.com/

A poster of allegedly infringing material may make a counter notice pursuant to the DMCA. When we receive a counter notice, we may reinstate the material in question. To provide a counter notice to us, please provide the following information to our designated copyright agent.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. If you have a concern about your purchase or any other issue, please call WOE’s customer service. In the unlikely event that WOE is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction, then you and WOE each agree to be bound by these dispute resolution procedures.
You and WOE each agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Website, your ordering of Products or Services from WOE or its affiliates through the Website, by phone, or through third-party websites offering WOE Products or Services shall be determined by binding arbitration.
BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ACTION IN COURT OR BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR TO DECIDE A DISPUTE INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY. AN ARBITRATOR’S AWARD IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES). AN ARBITRATOR IS ALSO BOUND BY THESE TERMS TO THE SAME EXTENT AS A COURT.
WE EACH ALSO AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS OF ANY NATURE OR IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OR ANY PERSON OTHER THAN YOURSELF. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY BOTH YOU AND WOE, AN ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT CONDUCT ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD RELIEF OTHER THAN ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a demand to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) describing your claim and serve a copy of the demand to admin@worldodditiesexpo.com/. The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures, and for disputes arising from or related to the purchase of products or services for personal or household use the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. AAA and the arbitrator will determine the appropriate rules that may apply as from time to time amended. The AAA’s rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. WOE will reimburse those fees (but not any attorney’s fees) for arbitration claims seeking less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. Additionally, WOE will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. The arbitrator shall be bound by these Terms.
As an alternative to arbitration, you may elect to submit a claim to a small claims court if the claim qualifies, but any filing or other fees will be your responsibility.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. This means that any claim in court would be decided by a judge, not a jury.
We also each agree that you or WOE may bring suit in court to seek temporary provisional relief such as to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Governing Law
THIS AGREEMENT EVIDENCES A TRANSACTION IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE, AND THUS THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE TERMS AND ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ORDERED OR PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE. IN THE ABSENCE OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, THEN THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF Pennsylvania (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) WILL GOVERN.

General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) Compliance
The GDPR provides certain rights to online users located in European Union countries (“EU Data Subjects”).

EU Data Subjects also have the right to file a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority. EU Data Subjects may exercise their rights, and ask any other related questions, by emailing https://worldodditiesexpo.com/.
To comply with the GDPR’s requirements, WOE collects and transfers EU Data Subjects’ Personal Information to other countries outside the European Union only: (1) consistent with an adequacy decision under Article 45 of the GDPR; (2) pursuant to suitable safeguards; or (3) consistent with another permissible transfer mechanism where appropriate.

California Privacy Rights
Shine the Light. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide Personal Information in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared that information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g. requests made in 2020 will receive information regarding 2019 sharing activities).
To obtain this information, please send an email message to admin@worldodditiesexpo.com/ with “Shine the Light Request” on the subject line and in the body of your message. We will provide the requested information to you at your e-mail address in response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.

A California resident has the right to request that WOE disclose certain information, including: (1) the categories of Personal Information it has collected about that California resident, (2) the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, (3) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the Personal Information, (4) the categories of third parties with whom WOE shares Personal Information, (5) the specific pieces of Personal Information it has collected about that resident, and (6) the categories of Personal Information that WOE has sold about that resident and the categories of third parties to whom that information was sold.

Finally, a California resident has the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights under the CCPA. Provided, however, that the CCPA does not prohibit WOE from offering financial incentives, different prices, rates, levels or qualities of goods or services for the collection of personal information if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided by the consumer’s data.
To submit a request to exercise your rights as a California resident, please submit the details of your request by email to admin@worldodditiesexpo.com/, with the subject line “CCPA Consumer Request”.

Hello and thank you for your interest in participating in one or more of the upcoming WOE events! We cannot wait to work with you. Below, please find the terms and conditions of your participation in WOE events. In order to lock in your booth space, you must complete this form AND pay the invoice. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to email.
Booth Placement:
Placement of booths is at the discretion of the WOE staff to ensure a harmonious and cohesive patron experience. These placements cannot be changed once set, however, if there are special needs/requests (including wanting to be placed near a specific vendor) please ensure they are noted at point of acceptance so we can do our best to accommodate. It is your responsibility to make sure you’re setting up in the space allocated for you, so, before you unpack make sure you confirm with a WOE staff member on site that you’re in the right spot otherwise you may have to set up twice.

Booth Limits
The entirety of your display must fit within the allotted space that you have paid for.
Food & Beverage:
The venues we work with have strict rules regarding the sale of food and beverage by outside vendors. While you are freely able to sell consumable goods, you cannot make/serve patrons, nor can you offer consumables as free samples. All consumable goods must be packaged for retail sale.
Promotion:
While on the show floor, you are not permitted to display/disseminate promotional materials for other like events without expressed permission from staff. Use of Image:
While at WOE, your picture or video may be captured by our media team and be included in future promotional materials.
Discretion in Presentation:
Please remember that this is an all ages event. While we at WOE do not restrict what you sell beyond the bounds of state/local law, venue requirement (consumables), bats, and human remains, we ask that you exercise your best judgment with regard to the placement and display of items which may not be appropriate for all viewers.
Hate Speech/Bullying:
We at WOE do not tolerate hate speech or the inclusion of items/products which promote hateful/harmful rhetoric. If such is on display at your booth, you will be asked to pack and leave immediately.
Damage to WOE Property:
It is expected that Vendors and their staff will behave in a safe and professional manner throughout the event as well as during the set up and break down of the show. If WOE property is damaged/destroyed/removed without prior written authorization by you or a member of your staff, you will be charged the full replacement cost for the item(s) and any associated fees as a result.
Damage to YOUR Property:
You (and your staff) are solely responsible for the safety, security, and tracking for your products/displays/promotional materials/personal effects. WOE is not responsible or liable for your lost/damaged/misplaced/stolen items.
Damage to Venue Property:
WOE is not responsible or liable in the event that you (or your staff) damage/displace/destroy or otherwise remove venue property. In such an event, you (proprietor) and the venue will work directly with each other to resolve the issue.
Load-In Protocol
We do our best to get everyone in in a timely fashion. We give you a courtesy day to load in. Check your load in instructions, but it’s typically the Friday before the show from 12pm-6pm. We also allow vendors to set up on Saturday from 6am – 9:45am. We strongly encourage you to get your booth set up on Friday.
We absolutely insist that you bring your goods to your table and then remove your vehicle as a courtesy for other vendors to move in.
It’s imperative that you load in and immediately remove your vehicle to park before you set up your booth, so that other vendors can do the same. Failure to observe this basic courtesy can result in your vehicle being towed from the loading dock.
We ask all vendors be checked in at the very latest no later than 9am Saturday. This allows us to account for all booths on the floor to ensure a seamless set up.
Load Out Protocol
Once the event ends at 8pm- vendors may begin to load out. Loading out before 7pm is not permitted and detracts from the overall patron experience. Any vendor loading out before 7pm may result in not being able to attend other events without a refund. If for some reason something arises and you need to leave the show floor early- please bring it to the attention of WOE staff immediately.
No Call/ No Shows If you do not show up to an event without any communication, this will result in denial from participating in future events without refund.
Facebook Event Pages
It is very important. To us at woe that you succeed. As such, you will see our ads all over your social media platforms, in store windows, and community boards throughout your city, you’ll hear us on the radio, and you’ll see us in the sky on billboards throughout your travels. But there are things you can do to help our advertisements be even more impactful.
PLEASE do not make duplicate Facebook Event pages. This confuses patrons and can create misinformation about pertinent event details. Please just add the main event page to your business page.
State & Local Laws:
The World Oddities Expo is committed to conservation and education. Wildlife products are allowed but it is the duty of the vendor to observe and obey all local, federal, and international wildlife laws. The World Oddities Expo is not responsible or liable for any infractions. With that said if you are made aware of something and choose to disregard it you could be asked off the show floor and you will not be welcome back. Irresponsible collecting has endangered certain animals namely bats and as such they are not welcome to be sold at the World Oddities Expo. We thank you to all who take responsible stewardship seriously. This is our world. By submitting an Event Application, you indicate that you have acknowledged, understand and agree to all terms, conditions, and policies above.
