Code Of Conduct
Updated August 14, 2023
The Market Place (the “Center”) consists of shopping, parking and other common areas. The Center is a privately owned property where the public is invited to enjoy its pleasant, safe, family-oriented environment during the advertised hours of operation for purposes of shopping, dining, entertainment and enjoying our other retail-related amenities. In order to maintain this environment, we request that all of our customers and guests refrain from engaging in any of the following activities:
- Running, horseplay, throwing of any objects, or other disorderly, disruptive or unsafe conduct of any type.
- Fighting, challenging to fight, using physical force or violence, or provoking or intimidating (or attempting to provoke or intimidate) others with threats of physical force or violence.
- Defacing, damaging, or destroying any real or personal property comprising or located within the Center, including, but not limited to, buildings, common area improvements and landscaping.
- Using, creating or expressing loud, vulgar, threatening or obscene language or gestures. Playing loud music or making loud noises and/or flashes by use of firecrackers or other devices is also not permitted.
