Unauthorized Guides and directories

SPORTEL is aware that its clients are being targeted via mailings by worldwide exhibition directory services that requests SPORTEL participants, in particular exhibitors, to complete and return a form, ostensibly to obtain a free listing in their directories.

In fact, these publications' confusing documents constitute a contract to purchase advertising space and those clients who inadvertently respond find themselves threatened with legal action if they do not pay €1,000 and more per year for this unwanted advertising.

SPORTEL wishes to make it known that we have no business relationship whatsoever with Expo Guide and/or Fair Guide and/or CRPT (Central Register for Patents and Trademarks publications), and have not authorized Expo Guide, Fair Guide or CRPT publications to use SPORTEL's name or logo.

SPORTEL in no way endorses the business practices of Expo Guide, Fair Guide or CRPT, and we urge our clients to use utmost caution in the event they are contacted by either of these companies.
