Bidders for LNY fair stalls must be at least 18 years old and ordinary residents in Hong Kong.
Anyone can bid for more than one stall. A bidder must pay the bid price and register in his or her own name as the licensee of the stall immediately after successfully bidding for a stall.
The bidder is also required to sign at once an express warranty and a licence agreement, or will forfeit the rights to operate the stall, and the stall concerned will be re-auctioned immediately.
An FEHD spokesman said that successful bidders shall comply with all the stipulations and provisions as set out in the licence agreement. Otherwise, the department is entitled to terminate the agreement and the licensee shall immediately vacate the stall.
Details of the 2012 LNY fairs, such as the public notice, location and layout of the fair venues, commodities allowed for sale at the fair stalls, open auction arrangements and related rules, and samples of the licence agreement and express warranty are available at the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk).
