Construct Data Verlag AG, an Austrian organization, is apparently targeting FlyFishing Retailer (Nielsen Business Media) exhibitors. They offer advertising space on their Fair Guide website, using a form which resembles an organizer’s free catalogue listing service, inviting exhibitors to sign and return the form for an entry in an on-line directory. However, exhibitors who sign and return the form are then bound to a non-terminable agreement at significant cost for a period of at least three years and automatically renewing thereafter at the same cost, unless cancelled by registered letter within the appropriate period.

Please note that the FlyFishing Retailer has no relationship with Construct Data Verlag AG, Fair Guide or any of its many other brands, and they have no right to use VNU’s show names and brands on information they send out to exhibitors. If you receive a document from Construct Data Verlag AG which uses our name or the name of our events and which offers advertising space on the Fair Guide website (www.fairguide.com), please do not sign the form unless you have carefully read and understood the terms contained in the small print.
