OH-BOY VENDOR AGREEMENT 2026
Hey! WE’RE SO GLAD YOUR HERE! OH-BOY! Market exists because of makers, artists, and small businesses like yours — and we don't take that lightly.
This Agreement covers the terms of your participation. It's real, it's binding, and we mean every word of it — but we wrote it like humans, because that's what we are.
Please read it fully before signing.

You're In — For Real!
1
Your spot is confirmed based on your application. You're approved to sell the products you described — and only those products. If something changes about what you're selling, give us a heads up before market day. Surprises are great in real life. Less so at check-in.
OH-BOY! Market reserves the right to assign and adjust booth spaces at its discretion. Space assignments are final on market day.
Lock It In:
2
Your booth fee is due within 48 hours of acceptance. If payment isn't received in that window, your spot may be released to the next vendor on our waitlist. We hate to do it — but the list is long and the spaces are limited.
Vendors may not sublet, share, or transfer their booth space to another party without prior written approval from OH-BOY! Market.
The Non-Refundable Part (Real Talk)
3
All booth fees are non-refundable — full stop. We know that's a bold policy, so let us explain where your money actually goes.Vendors may not sublet, share, or transfer their booth space to another party without prior written approval from OH-BOY! Market.
Here's the thing about your fee: We saw nearly 3,500 visitors at last year’s market! 100% of your fee funds our marketing efforts directly — paid ads, design, logistics, and promotion that starts running before the market ever opens. That spend happens whether the market does or not. The moment you're accepted, your name and business go to work. Vendors are featured in our social media campaigns, in collaborative newsletters and print ads. Our socials reach over 100,000 eyes per week (this number is growing thanks to you! Plus — we can proudly say that, compared to similar events, our vendor fees are lower, and we intend to keep it this way. We're not in this to squeeze you — we're in this to build something great together, and that takes collaborative investment! Thank you for being a part of this with us!
This applies in all cases: vendor cancellation, weather, force majeure, or event cancellation initiated by OH-BOY! Market. In extraordinary circumstances, OH-BOY! Market may, at its sole discretion, offer a credit toward a future event — but this is never guaranteed.
Rain, Shine & Everything Between
4
OH-BOY! Market is an outdoor event and we plan to be there regardless of a little drizzle. Vendors are responsible for coming prepared — tent weights, waterproofing, layers, whatever your setup needs.
In the event that we have to cancel this thing because of severe weather, hazardous conditions, or any circumstance deemed unsafe, OH-BOY! Market reserves the right — as determined solely by its organizers — to cancel, postpone, modify the format, or relocate the event. That determination is ours to make, and we'll make it with your safety in mind.
As noted above, booth fees remain non-refundable in these circumstances.
Your Setup, Your Space
6
Vendors supply their own booth setup — tent, tables, displays, signage, the works. Your space should look intentional, feel safe, and be clean throughout the day. You are responsible for anything that happens within your booth footprint.
Each vendor is responsible for collecting and remitting applicable sales tax on their own sales, in accordance with New York State law.
Times & Timing
7
You'll receive your assigned load-in window in advance — please stick to it. Vendors must be fully set up and ready before the market opens to the public.
Early breakdown (please) is not permitted without prior written approval from OH-BOY! Market. Packing up early is disruptive to other vendors and to the experience we're building together. If you need to leave early for any reason, please reach out ahead of time.
What You're Selling
8
OH-BOY! Market is a makers market. Every product sold here should be designed, handmade, or genuinely curated by the vendor — and it should match what was presented in your application. If it's mass-produced or a straight resell without meaningful curation or context, it's not a fit.
We reserve the right to ask you to remove products that don't align with the spirit of the market. Not to be difficult — just to keep the whole thing feeling special for everyone.
Liability
Vendors participate in OH-BOY! Market at their own risk. OH-BOY! Market, its organizers, staff, and affiliates are not responsible for any loss, theft, damage to property, or personal injury occurring at or related to the event.
By signing this Agreement, Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OH-BOY! Market and its organizers from any and all claims, damages, losses, or expenses — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of or related to Vendor's participation, conduct, products, or booth operations.
Insurance
Certain vendors will be required to carry general liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and to provide a certificate of insurance naming OH-BOY! Market as an additional insured. You'll be notified at acceptance if this applies to your participation. Don't worry — we'll give you plenty of time to sort it out.
Photos & Promotion
Good news: we're going to make you look great. By participating, you grant OH-BOY! Market permission to use photos and video taken at the event — including images of your booth, products, and business name — for promotional and marketing purposes across all channels, including social media, paid advertising, and press.
If you have specific concerns about photography, let us know in advance and we'll do our best to work with you.
Right to Remove
OH-BOY! Market reserves the right to remove any vendor from the event — without refund — for failure to comply with this Agreement, unsafe or disruptive behavior, misrepresentation of products, or any conduct that compromises the experience for other vendors or the public.
We've never had to use this. Just need to cover our bases.
Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be resolved in the appropriate courts of New York State.
