8.  INDEMNIFICATION.     a.  Participant, and Participant's officers, employees, and agents are not officers, employees, or agents of WBMA as those terms are used in ORS 30.260 to 30.300.  Participant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WBMA, and their officers, employees, and agents from claims, actions, damages, judgment, and other expenses and liabilities ("claims") arising out of injury to any person or damage to property caused in part or entirely by the activities of Participant, or Participant's officers, agents, or employees or any hazardous condition at the Booth.  Participant will not be responsible for claims resulting solely from the negligence of WBMA , or WBMA's officers, employees, or agents, or latent hazardous conditions.

 

          b.  This section merely allocates risk between WBMA and Participant.  It cannot be construed to diminish any liability insurer's obligations or to waive contribution or indemnity from other persons or entities.

 

9.  LIABILITY INSURANCE.

         a.  Only Participants who sell food; or beverage vendors; or are authorized to dispense alcoholic liquor; or a high risk activity as determined by the Committee are required to provide a certificate of insurance. 

 

          b. Participant shall, at its own expense, at all times while Participant is using the Booth, maintain in force a commercial general liability insurance policy that covers claims arising out of the Event  The amount of coverage must be equal or greater than the limits for claims made under the Oregon Tort Claims Act with minimum coverage of $500,000 per occurrence (combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage claims) or $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $100,000 per occurrence for property damage.

 

          c.  Liability coverage must be provided on an "Occurrence" basis.  "Claims made" coverage will not be acceptable.  The Winchester Bay Merchants Association, Incorporated, P.O. Box 1143, Winchester Bay, Oregon 97467 shall be named as Certificate Holder and Additional Insured.

 

          d.  Any person or entity that is authorized to dispense and serve alcoholic liquor at the Event must obtain and maintain liquor liability insurance that conforms to this paragraph.

 

         e.  Your Insurance Certificate must be mailed along with your Application – or be received soon thereafter.  You may NOT wait to bring the certificate with you to the event.  This is for your own benefit because it allows time to correct any mistakes on the Certificate.  Vendors who are required to provide a Certificate of Insurance will NOT be allowed to set up until a correct Certificate has been received. If you do not provide a correct Certificate prior to the show you will NOT be allowed to set up at Ocean Fest and you will NOT be given a refund for your space fee.

10.  REMEDIES.

          a.  Time is of the essence of this Permit.  If Participant fails to comply with any material conditions of this Permit, or if Participant does not take prompt action to rectify a failure to comply with this Permit or a supplemental agreement, the WBMA may immediately terminate this Permit, eject the Participant from the Event, exclude the Participant from future Events, retain Participant's fee as liquidated damage,; or enforce any remedies available to WBMA under Oregon law.

 

         b.  The above stated remedies are cumulative.  The exercise of one remedy by WBMA will not impair any other remedy.   Any litigation concerning this permit will be conducted in circuit court or district court of the State of Oregon for Douglas County.

 

11.  NOTICES.    a.  Written notices required by this Permit must be given by personal delivery or mail.

 

          b.  Notices to WBMA will be delivered to the Committee at the Event, or mailed to the Winchester Bay Merchants Association, Inc., P.O. Box 1143, Winchester Bay, Oregon 97467.

 

          c.  Notices to Participant will be delivered to the Participant at the Event area, or mailed to the Participant's last known address.

 

 

12.  WEATHER AND SECURITY.  All booth space is located outside with little protection from wind and rain.  Participant must keep in mind that Event area is on the coast and that weather conditions can change quite rapidly.  Participant is advised to be prepared for all types of weather.  Participant is responsible for 24-hour security of the assigned booth and property therein.

 

13.  RUBBISH CONTROL DURING THE EVENT.  Dumpsters are provided in the Event area for use by Participant to dispose of Event created rubbish.  Each food vendor shall provide a suitable trash container at their booth, police the area around this container, and empty it as required.

 

14.  EXTENSION CORDS.  Participant must provide all required extension cords.  When more than one cord is used all connections shall be taped or otherwise sealed to provide waterproof protection.  Use only heavy-duty cords.  As a word of caution, worn, frayed, or improperly insulated extension cords will trip the GFI circuit breakers.

 

15.  YELLOW PARKING BUMPERS.  For fire AND safety reasons, use of the space between the yellow bumper and the power poll is prohibited.  Participant must not move the parking bumpers located near the power polls.

 

16.  EARLY ARRIVAL.   Camping is not allowed on Beach Blvd. However Douglas County waives this rule as a favor to us during Ocean Fest. In the past Vendors who arrived early have been allowed to camp on Beach Blvd. Wednesday night for a fee of $10. It has become too difficult to manage this early camping. Therefore, as of this year, camping will not be allowed on Beach Blvd. on Wednesday night. Any Vendors who arrive early will have to spend Wednesday night in a campground or will be allowed to dry-camp in the Middle Spit at Salmon Harbor Marina .

 

17.  CHECK IN.   Assigned space numbers will NOT be given out prior to check in.  Committee members will be available at Phillip Boe Park on Beach Blvd.:

 

          Thursday, July 19th from 10:00 am until  5:00 pm

          Friday, July 20st  from 8:00 am until 10:00 am. All Vendors MUST be checked in by 10 am Friday morning.

 

 

18.  HOURS OF OPERATION.    Closing your booth before the specified time or leaving the Event early will be grounds for exclusion from the Event the following year.  Participants may open earlier or remain open later if they so choose – but, you must be open during our advertised hours of operation:

 

                    Friday, July 21 from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm.

                   Saturday, July 22 from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm.

                   Sunday, July 23 from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm.

Dear Potential Ocean Festival Vendors:

 

Please read the enclosed contract carefully to save yourself time and the cost of extra mailings or a phone call to us!!!  Every Vendor, new or old is required to send an SASE (self-addressed STAMPED envelope) with their application. This is so we can return any incorrectly filled out forms. 

Especially pay attention to page four #23 – it lists the things you should be returning to us – and please DON’T staple ANYTHING to your application.

 

If you are a new Ocean Festival Participant – Welcome to the Windy Bay area!!  You will be out in the weather – so be prepared for anything.  You will need a cover to protect you from drizzle or from sunshine.  You will need some heavy weights to tie to your cover, canopy, etc.  Some people bring 5-gallon buckets and fill them with water.  We suggest that you use two buckets per corner pole.  Other people have embedded eye bolts into concrete which they have poured into buckets.  These work really well.  We do get heavy winds at times and you need to have secure tie-downs to keep everything in place.  You will not be able to stake anything to the pavement.  If you need to be able to stake down your display – let us know and we will place you on a grassy or gravel area on the east side of the road.

 

Again, be sure to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.  Incorrectly filled out applications will not be processed and you will not be placed on the Ocean Fest map.  Incorrectly filled out forms will only be returned for correction if a self-addressed stamped envelope is enclosed.

 

Camping on Beach Blvd.

 

Camping on Beach Blvd is not legal at any time except during Event weekends, when the rule is waived for the East Side of the Blvd. (which we lease from Douglas County). In the past Vendors who arrived early have been allowed to camp on Beach Blvd Wednesday night for a fee of $10. It has become too difficult to manage this early camping. Therefore, as of this year, camping will not be allowed on Beach Blvd on Wednesday night. Any Vendors who arrive early will have to spend Wednesday night in a campground or will be allowed to dry-camp in the Middle Spit at Salmon Harbor Marina for a fee.

 

We are looking forward to seeing all the new and returning vendors in July! Hopefully the year 2007 will be our most successful year ever!!!
