Code of Conduct

Accordingly high standard of ethics and behaviour, is expected by exhibitors doing business at the show.  While the overwhelming majority of staff of exhibiting companies behave honorably, there is an unethical minority who have caused anguish for others.  This includes misleading representations, conflicts of interest and misuse of information.

 

1. The sales process whilst competitive should not impact on the brands and integrity of others.

 

2.  As a general rule, “Sales representations should be made based on the intrinsic value of your OWN product” not on the goods or reputation of others.

 

3. Exhibitors, they’re appointed agents and representatives need to comply with all areas of the terms and conditions set down by Camper Care NZ Motorhome & Caravan Show.

 

4. Where it comes to our attention that unfair or damaging information is being used to assist the sale process, we will take all steps to identify the staff and company involved.  When identified, a verbal warning and written notice will be issued.  Should the offender continue, then a notice of eviction will be issued.  There will be no recourse and no correspondence will be entered into.
