Anime Overload reserves the right to ask any dealer to show an Anime Overload staff member a bill of sale or import papers on any goods, and reserves the right to search dealersŐ merchandise for infringing or illegitimate goods at any time and without advance notice. If any search or any complaint from an industry representative, convention attendee, or other person locates a suspicious good, the dealer must remove the offending merchandise from its table immediately, and must pay a fine to Anime Overload of up to half the total cost of their tables.
