Additionally, depending on the type and net weight of food products you intend to trade, an additional fee may be required due to the event hosting center policy.

Yes. OKGO Market sets limits on each of its 9 categories and merchant booths are given on a first come, first served basis. This ensures that each event provides a well-rounded and well-balanced marketplace experience for shoppers. Therefore, OKGO Market implements a 15 or 30-day sign & pay policy that starts from the day that approval is sent to the merchant. However, if your category becomes full even before your 15 or 30-day sign & pay period ends, your application will be moved to the WAITLIST. See #24 below for additional information on this situation.
-
No. Reconciling your booth invoice is the only way to guarantee a spot at the market. If your category (or subcategory) reaches maximum capacity at any time prior to your booth invoice being reconciled (regardless of the 15 or 30-day pay period), your application will be moved to the WAITLIST until a spot becomes available. In the event that a space opens up under your category or subcategory as a result of another merchant within your category pulling out, merchants on the waitlist will be contacted in the order in which they originally applied. Please note that once you are contacted, you will have 24 hours to respond & pay your invoice. If we do not hear from you by the end of the 24-hour period, we will move to the next application in line on the waitlist.
-
OKGO Market may offer a category or subcategory buyout option to merchants seeking exclusive rights to sell a particular type of product within an applicable category or subcategory. Buyout opportunities are subject to availability and must be specifically approved by OKGO Market. Merchants interested in a buyout should request exclusivity during the application process or after approval is issued. Merchants may not assume, claim, or represent that they have exclusive rights to sell a particular product, product type, or service at OKGO Market unless a buyout has been specifically approved in writing by OKGO Market and all applicable buyout fees have been paid.
The fact that a merchant is the only participating merchant currently offering a particular product, product type, or service does not create or imply exclusivity. Unless a buyout has been approved and paid for, OKGO Market may approve other merchants offering similar, competing, or substantially similar products, regardless of whether another merchant previously participated in the event, has previously sold the product at the event, or believes it should have exclusive rights.
Buyout fees may vary depending on the size and demand of the applicable category or subcategory, the expected number of merchants offering similar products, the value of exclusivity, and the base booth cost. In most cases, the subcategory buyout fee will be based on approximately one-half (1/2) of the applicable category allocation and will not exceed three-fourths (3/4) of the applicable category allocation, unless otherwise determined by OKGO Market.
OKGO Market retains full authority to approve, deny, modify, limit, or revoke any category or subcategory buyout request based on event needs, marketplace balance, merchant participation, attendee experience, or other operational considerations. A buyout is not effective until it has been confirmed in writing by OKGO Market and all applicable buyout fees have been paid. Verbal discussions, requests for exclusivity, prior participation, previous product offerings, or the absence of competing merchants do not constitute an approved buyout or create any exclusive rights.
Once a buyout has been confirmed and paid for, OKGO Market will not knowingly approve another merchant within the same exclusive subcategory for the applicable event, subject to the specific scope and limitations of the approved buyout. OKGO Market is not responsible for products sold by merchants who independently attempt to circumvent an approved exclusivity arrangement. If OKGO Market determines that another merchant is offering products in violation of an approved buyout, OKGO Market may require the merchant to remove the applicable products from the event. No merchant may demand, require, or represent that OKGO Market remove another merchant or prohibit another merchant from selling a product based solely on the fact that the first merchant sells the same or a similar product. Exclusive rights exist only when specifically approved and paid for through the OKGO Market buyout process.
Permanent jewelry is not considered an exclusive product category or subcategory unless the merchant has specifically purchased and received written approval for a permanent jewelry buyout. The presence of one permanent jewelry merchant at an OKGO Market event does not prevent OKGO Market from approving additional permanent jewelry merchants for the same event. Merchants offering permanent jewelry may not claim, imply, or demand exclusive rights to provide permanent jewelry at OKGO Market unless those rights have been specifically approved in writing and all applicable buyout fees have been paid. -
No. OKGO Market strategically places all merchants throughout the space to ensure a balanced and optimized layout. As such, we are unable to accommodate the feasibility of individual placement requests.
