May a prospective host use the festival logo, announce an official city event or charge participants before approval?

An enquiry starts a discussion; it does not grant host status, brand rights or permission to charge. First agree the contracting parties, event name, city and dates, budget, venue, safety and data responsibilities, brand usage and fees in writing. Publish the approved version. General website information is not an automatic third-party authorisation; use the formal event page on hkaiiff.io and agreed documents.
