Markets Market Rights Licence Declaration

I confirm that:

I am at least 18 years of age; and

I have read and understand the privacy notice; and

I have the authority to make this application on behalf of my organisation; and

all of the details provided are correct; and

I will not hold a market without consent by way of a Market Rights Licence, and without the permission of the property owner.

I understand that:

my submission of this application does not guarantee that permission to hold the market will be granted; and

any unlicensed market is unlawful and may be subject to legal action; and

a Market Rights Licence is separate from any other licence or permission, and it is my responsibility to obtain all other necessary planning approvals, licences, consents and permissions required for the operation of the market for which separate fees and notice periods may be applicable; and

the Council will not be liable for any consequential losses however caused; and

I must take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of everyone at the market, and it is my responsibility to ensure that all activities at the market meet current health and safety legislation, that all equipment is safe and fit to use; and

I am responsible for keeping a record of the name, address and contact information of anyone renting a space at the market, and that I am required to make these available to Council officers or representatives when asked; and

I must ensure that anyone renting a space at the market complies with all statutory and regulatory requirements and have obtained all necessary consents, licences, certificates, authorisations and insurances; and

I am responsible for ensuring that all food and drink sellers comply with all food safety and hygiene regulations, and that I must contact the Environmental Health Service at email envh.licensing@manchester.gov.uk or telephone 0161 234 5004 at least 10 days before the market and provide all requested details in respect of all food and drink sellers at the market; and

I must ensure that only the commodities detailed in the Market Rights Licence are allowed to be displayed or sold at the market and that this does not include any Things You Cannot Sell, Store or Display; and

I must not display posters or signs on lampposts, buildings, railings etc., without permission of the Council; and

it is my responsibility to ensure that any copyrighted recorded music is not played at the market without the appropriate licences from PPL (PPL - UK and international recorded music royalty collection) and PRS (PRS for Music: royalties, music copyright and licensing); and

it is my responsibility to ensure that the market does not cause any nuisance, damage, inconvenience or disturbance to the premises, neighbours, or visitors; and

if my application is submitted less than 21 days in advance of the market any licence issued will be subject to an additional administration fee as detailed online at Fees | Market Rights Policy | Manchester City Council; and

any offer of a Market Rights Licence made by the Council is subject to the Council receiving all requested documents and payments within the required timescale, and it is my responsibility to provide these documents and make these payments; and

any Market Rights Licence issued is personal to me and I cannot assign or transfer it to anyone else; and

if I falsify any details or fail to comply with the Market Rights Licence or anything detailed in this declaration the Market Rights Licence will be terminated; and

other than in the event of breach or non-compliance, to end a Market Rights Licence I must give seven days written notice to the Council and the Council can give seven days written notice to me; and

in the event of a breach or non-compliance the Council may give immediate notice to terminate a Market Rights Licence, and this may also affect future applications for a Market Right Licence.

I agree to:

comply with the Council’s Market Rights Policy; and

comply with the relevant Sunday Trading legislation, where applicable; and

indemnify the Council against all losses, claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, costs or expenses, or other liability arising in any way from the operation of the market; and

effect and maintain throughout all licensed market days public liability insurance providing at least £5 million cover for markets on private premises or £10 million for markets on Council premises and be able to provide evidence of this upon request; and

comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements and all reasonable rules and regulations of the Council in relation to the use of the premises and the operation of the market; and

provide safety documents like fire risk assessments, event management plans, food safety plans, and alcohol management plans if requested; and

comply with the Code of Practice and share this with all sellers as well as the information leaflet ‘How to Stay IP Legal’ (available to download from the Real Deal website); and

notify the Council when any of my details change; and

provide access to Council officers or representatives to inspect the market at any reasonable time comply with all their reasonable requests; and

pay the market rights fee as requested before a market rights licence is issued; and

notify the Council within seven days after each market if more trading spaces than the number specified in the licence are occupied on any and every market day and then pay the corresponding licence fee within seven days of request.
