Deadlines & Extensions:

Event Setup & Vendor Systems:

• Exclusives must be marked with the Exclusive Tag Provided

  • This allows customers and event coverage (ex. Seraphim) to know what is the new item to include in their guide​

• Single prim vendors ONLY

  • Scrolling vendors are NOT accepted and will be returned.

  • Why no scrolling vendors?

    • Mainly due to Lag and because this is not an entire store sale.

• Vendor systems such as MD or caspervend are allowed as long as the follow the no scrolling vendor rule.

  • Caspervend users MUST use the Event vendor scripts. For more information on Caspervend Event scripts check the Caspervend Wiki​

• For pose stores the scrolling vendor rule may be over looked if you put out a demo as many have scrolling pose demos
