By clicking submit on the Vendor Application Page and applying as a Carnevale! Venice Beach 2009 vendor, I acknowledge that I’ve read, understood and agree to all of the provisions outlined below:

1.   Dogtown Artists Group (hosts of the Carnevale! Venice Beach 2009) reserves the right to reject any application, and to demand the release of any rented booth space at any time before or during the Carnevale! for failure to meet any of the requirements contained herein or for violating any applicable laws and regulations of the United States, State of California, City and/or County of Los Angles.
