Dealers’ Den Rules

Rules & Hints

  1. The Convention reserves the right to refuse a Dealer table to anyone for any reason.
  2. The Convention Staff reserve the right to prohibit the sale of any item they deem inappropriate at any time, shut down a table, or make other requests with which you must comply, without refund or compensation.
  3. If exceptional circumstances force you to abandon your table, refunds and compensation may be offered at the discretion of the Den management.
  4. You may not resell your table to another party; if you cannot attend, or wish to cancel for any reason prior to the convention, you may do so without charge – however we would prefer notification in advance, so we can make the space available to others.  The deadline for such cancellations is one week prior to the convention, except in exceptional circumstances.
  5. Failure to notify us in advance of your intention to drop out from your confirmed space, may jeopardise your eligibility for a space in the Dealers’ Den in future years.
  6. We would strongly advise you be ready, and at your table in time for the initial opening of  the Dealers’ Den on the Saturday of the convention – if you have not taken your space by midday, we reserve the right to pass your table to other interested parties without any notification.
  7. All dealers must wear their Dealer badges at all times whilst in the Dealers’ Den, please leave your badge with your assistant (if you have one) if you leave the den.
  8. Please refrain from activities that might distract or disrupt other dealers.
  9. Keep pathways clear – your main areas for storage are under your table.  No-one should be sat in front of your table.
  10. The use of photographic and video recording equipment is prohibited.
  11. We would prefer that only furry merchandise be sold in the Dealers’ Den, though generally related items, such as Anime, are fine.
  12. No items may be sold which depict the ConFuzzled logo or other company trademarks (including official representations of Brok) without express written consent of the ConFuzzled management.
  13. Similarly, no items depicting copyrighted characters or trademarks may be sold unless the seller can provide written permission, from the copyright holder, to the convention staff during the convention.
  14. The Dealers’ Den, as with the rest of the convention, is for over 18s only, so adult oriented materials may be sold. However, we would ask that such items be kept out of sight or in clearly marked folders, unless they are being looked at.  Where practical, separate adult and non-adult art.
  15. Furthermore, the categories listed on the Prohibited Items list below are totally off-limits and banned from the Den.
  16. We also do not permit the sale of sex toys, fetish items or anything else that the Dealers’ Den staff deem to be inappropriate for the setting.
  17. We cannot allow the sale of food or beverages by dealers in the Dealers’ Den, though you can put a bowl of free sweets out on your table.
  18. Your soul is at risk if you do not keep up payments of double chocolate chip cookies to Brok, the value of your soul may go up as well as down.

Prohibited Items

We try to be accepting and open to a wide range of subjects, but we must also operate within the law and the best interests of taste and decency. Therefore, there can be no items for sale or display (publicly or otherwise) at the convention which depict any of the following:

  • We do not allow anything that violates European and/or UK law. This includes (but is not limited to) weapons, imitation weapons and drugs (illegal or otherwise) as well as topics listed below.
  • We do not allow any items made of real animal parts, nor any sale of such fabrics.This includes pelts, fur and any other parts.
  • No excessive violence and cruelty (even in non-sexual context). Violence in general is allowed on a reasonable level, including blood, gore or hunting. If you are in doubt about that rule, show the picture to the Dealers’ Den staff first.
  • No depictions of rape or other non-consensual violence in combination with sexual content. Bondage or sub/dom depictions are allowed. Consensual sex of any kind, regardless of species and gender, is allowed (unless covered by the rules below).
  • No pedophilia / “cub porn”. We are aware that this is a difficult rule since the actual age of drawn characters is open to interpretation, especially where the characters are drawn in a cartoon style. Appearances count; characters with a very childlike appearance and/or baby face may be considered “children” in the context of this rule. Again, please ask a member of Dealers’ Den staff if you are unsure whether this rule applies to any of your items.
  • No zoophilia and/or bestiality involving humans or largely human-like characters (e.g. anime catgirls, elves, or centaurs) with animals or largely non-morphic characters (four-legged) is allowed. Other species-transcending sexual activity is generally allowed.
  • Toilet activities are discouraged. That includes scat, watersports, adult diapers in use, or vomit. We do not exclude that content, but we do appeal to your sensitivity and common sense in showing excretional fetish work, which may not be suitable for a wide and varied public. If you are in doubt, please seek advice from a member of the Dealers’ Den staff.
  • No discriminatory, derogatory or offensive items may be sold. If you are in any doubt, please contact a member of Dealers’ Den Staff.
