FOOTHILL SWAP MEET OPERATIONS
POLICIES & RULES

The following policies and rules (“Policies and Rules”) govern Foothill Swap Meet (“Swap
Meet”) located at 1000 West Foothill Boulevard, Glendora, California (the
“Site”) operated by Nationwide Theatres Corp. dba Foothill Swap Meet
(the “Swap Meet Manager”) or any of its affiliated entities or
subsidiaries.

INTRODUCTION

These Policies and Rules govern the conduct of each vendor/seller (“Seller”), and each
Seller’s assistants, employees, associates, agents and contractors on the Site, including
without limitation, the interior sales areas, parking lots, walkways, ticket lines, entrance
gates and other exterior areas.

The purchase of a ticket, reservation or permit to sell constitutes an agreement by each


Seller to comply with all the Policies and Rules of the Swap Meet and all applicable local,
state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and laws. Swap Meet Manager
reserves the right to revoke tickets or permits to sell at any time, and to remove from the
Site, with refund of any unused fee, any Seller who violates these Policies and Rules.

The Swap Meet Manager reserves the right to amend or add to these Policies and Rules
at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, by written notice to Seller that is
either delivered to Seller or posted at the Site. Each Seller has a continuing obligation
each day the Swap Meet is open to review all notices posted at the Site by Swap Meet
Manager, and each Seller is obligated to comply fully with all amendments and changes
to these Policies and Rules. Swap Meet Manager shall not be required or obligated, and
does not agree, to provide individual notice of any amendment or addition to these
Policies and Rules.

Swap Meet Manager reserves the right to withhold consent, with or without cause, in its
sole discretion, to any request made by Seller pursuant to these Policies and Rules.

Any Seller who has any questions or problems should contact the On-Site Manager.

Seller is strictly prohibited.

without a Seller’s Permit to the extent allowed by applicable law.

1. Unless otherwise posted, the Swap Meet closes to the public at 3:00 p.m.*
