The Maryland Pony Meet staff goes to great lengths to see that every precaution is taken to ensure the safest and most comfortable environment possible. While the staff does its utmost to ensure this trend continues, both the staff and the hostess cannot be held individually responsible for the actions of a meet attendee, be they collector or guest. In the event that something undesirable occurs, we will do our best to rectify the problem and ensure a just and fair result follows, but cannot be held responsible for persons or their property.

Every transaction is expected to be fulfilled as fairly and peaceably as possible on the parts of both sellers and buyers. Stealing or scamming is absolutely prohibited. Anyone partaking in illegal or unjust activity will be expelled from the meet and disallowed to return to future meets. The person(s) will also be reported to the online collecting communities, and/or local law enforcement.

All attendees are expected to treat each other with courtesy and respect. Harassing a fellow attendee is against the rules, and will result in the expulsion and banning of that individual from future meets.

Much of the meet is about sharing. If you have items you would prefer others only look at and not touch, either label them as such or bring something simple like a plastic case to display them in. Similarly, if you are an artist and decide to bring work that has a mature theme with you, please keep your sketchbooks closed and labeled appropriately, out of reach of small hands, with the younger attendees in mind. It is recommended all artwork brought to the meet be as G-rated as possible.

Collectors under 18 MUST be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian throughout the entire duration that the underage collector spends at the meet. Underage members may not be dropped off and retrieved later. Underage attendees may bring one guest beside that parent or guardian; if that guest is underage as well, they are understood to likewise be the sole responsibility of the present parent or guardian. Any attendees under the age of 18 are the sole responsibility of their designated parent or guardian and are not the responsibility of the hostess or staff throughout the entirety of the MD Pony Meets.

If you decide to bring small children with you, that child is expected to be well behaved, as there will be many valuable and fragile things present and within arms reach. Overly disruptive or uncontrollable children will be asked to leave along with their parent(s) or guardian(s).

There is a zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol at the pony meets. Anyone found acting against this rule will be asked to leave and not permitted to return to future meets. Smoking is outside only, away from other collectors and merchandise, where there are safe receptacles provided.

The MD Pony Meet is a private event intended exclusively for a tightly knit community of collectors of My Little Pony products. The MD Pony Meet Committee reserves the right to deny any applicant at any time, for any reason. Rules and Regulations are also subject to change as the need becomes apparent.
