    Koelnmesse GmbH is entitled to collect an adequate down payment for the services provided at an event – e.g. electricity and water supplies, media services etc. The amount of the down payment for services is based on the services invoiced at the previous event. For exhibitors that did not take part in the previous event, the down payment amounts to 21,00 EUR / sqm. Following the event, a separate invoice will be drawn up for the services provided; the down payment will be credited to this amount. Invoice amounts are payable immediately upon receipt. If the down payment exceeds the amount charged for services provided, the excess amount will be paid back to the exhibitor. Exhibitors are not entitled to have interest paid on their down payment.
