The Arnot Mall Management realizes that the comfort of an enclosed Mall provides an ideal place for outside businesses and non-profit organizations to reach thousands of consumers weekly. It is our intention to share the common areas whenever possible. Since the Mall was primarily designed for the use and convenience of our customers, we must insist that all temporary users of the Mall comply with the following rules:
1. The Mall Manager or Marketing Director shall retain complete control of all Mall exhibits, booths or shows.
2. Set-up and teardown must be before 9:30 AM or after 9:45 PM Monday – Saturday and before 10:30 AM or after 6:30 PM on Sundays.
3. Entrance doors and removable railings will ONLY be moved or opened by Arnot Mall Employees.
4. Displays are limited to 7 feet high in most vendor locations, unless previous arrangements have been made with Mall Management.
5. No display will block any doors, emergency or fire exits or fire hydrants.
6. No signs, posters, banners, etc. may be attached to any Mall property or structure unless prior approval from Mall Management has been given.
7. Exhibitors adjacent to planters and/or mall benches must keep displays at least 4 feet away. New York State Fire Code mandates a 10-foot walkway from the edge of the display to a storefront or kiosk. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. For any vendor space or vehicle display that utilizes fencing or stanchions, the above rule applies from the fencing/stanchion not from the display/vehicle.
8. Keep excess literature, boxes, coats, etc. under tables and hidden from view. Display areas must be kept neat at all times. NO literature or merchandise is allowed with sexual or violent content. The Mall Manager or Marketing Director has the right to deny any merchandise or literature and have it removed from the Mall’s premises.

12. NO smoke producing devices are permitted in the Mall.
13. NO open flame devices or lit candles. No explosives allowed in or around the Mall.

16. NO consumption of alcohol or controlled substances in the common area, food court or parking lots of Arnot Mall. Person(s) found consuming alcohol or controlled substances will be asked to leave immediately or face trespass charges.
17. NO tape is to be used on floors in and around display area unless prior approval from Mall Management.
18. Exhibitors using audio equipment must keep the volume at a reasonable level. Arnot Mall Security will assist with the volume level before the event. If a vendor is requested to adjust the volume level and fails to do so, they will be asked to leave the mall without any reimbursement of fee.
19. While you are exhibiting at the Arnot Mall, you are required to park behind the GREEN LINE painted on the outer half of the parking lot.
