Rules and Regulations

Use of Space

Each Exhibitor shall be restricted to showing only those goods described in this agreement, and shall confine its exhibit, activities and operations to the licensed space. In the event of the failure of the Exhibitor to utilize all its space to the satisfaction of the Licensor, it may at any time after the opening hour allot any vacant space to such other applicant as it may deem proper. The Licensor reserves the right to relocate contracted Exhibit space as it may deem necessary, in its sole discretion, for the overall benefit of the Show. We are not in a position to guarantee product exclusivity in the Show.

Character of Exhibit

The Licensor reserves the right in its sole discretion to decline, prohibit or remove any exhibit, Exhibitor or proposed exhibit or Exhibitor not approved by it, and permit only such matter and conduct as it shall approve.

The above reservation covers persons, things, conduct, printed matter, souvenirs and emblems, logos, and all things which affect the character of the Show, and the Exhibitor will not obstruct or hinder the Licensor in preventing or removing forthwith any matter, conduct or thing which it considers objectionable.

The Exhibitor agrees that all equipment, materials and devices, including without limitation: radio, television, videos, sound and visual aids, will be operated in such a manner and location as to cause no inconvenience to other Exhibitors or to the public. Sound will be kept at a level to reach the immediate vicinity of the Exhibitor's area only, and the Licensor reserves the right to remove or discontinue use of anything contravening these regulations.

Risk

All property used or exhibited is at the sole risk of the Exhibitor, and the Licensor will not assume any responsibility for the safety of exhibits against theft, robbery, fire accidents or for any cause whatever, or for bodily injury or damage to property caused by the operations of the Exhibitor. The Exhibitor understands and agrees that the Licensor shall assume no responsibility for representations or warranties given by the Exhibitor to the public in regard to its products or services, or for transactions or contracts between the Exhibitor and the public, or for any losses or damages arising there from.

Booth Construction and Finish

Where the Exhibitor provides its own booth and signs, these must conform throughout the period of the Show to the following: All booths will have appropriate flooring and finished walls on all sides if they are open and visible to the public. Booth decorating will not extend beyond 8 feet. Whether the display conforms will be at the discretion of the show management. It is the responsibility of each Exhibitor to contact the adjacent Exhibitor to ascertain the specifications of their walls.

Safety Regulations

All materials must be flame-proof and pass inspection by all designated authorities, and electrical and gas equipment used or exhibited must conform to the requirements of all electrical, gas and fire regulatory authorities, or any other Federal, Provincial or Municipal authority, board or commission having due jurisdiction in the location of the Show covered by this Agreement.

Removal of Goods

Under no circumstances shall any portion of an exhibit be removed from the exhibit premises during the continuance of the exhibition without prior written permission of the Licensor. The Exhibitor will cause all exhibits, equipment and appurtenances to be removed from the Show premises on the date and time specified as 'Exhibit Removal Deadline' in "Information for Exhibitors". The Licensor shall be entitled to remove all exhibits, equipment and appurtenances to be removed from the Show premises on the date and time specified as 'Exhibit Removal Deadline' in "Information for Exhibitors". The Licensor shall be entitled to remove all exhibits, equipment and appurtenances of the Exhibitor to any place of storage in the event of the Exhibitor's failure to remove by such deadline. The Exhibitor shall bear all costs of such removal or storage, and the Exhibitor shall be liable for all additional charges or damages assessed against the Licensor for or by reason of all such property of the Exhibitor left on the Show premises or their environs after such deadline.

Prevention or Interruption of Use of Premises

In case the premises are destroyed or damaged by fire or the elements, or by any other cause, or in case any circumstances whatsoever, including strikes, shall make it impossible or impracticable for the Licensor in its sole discretion to permit any Exhibitor or Exhibitors to occupy the premises, the Exhibitor or Exhibitors shall pay for space only for the period that the space was or could have been occupied by such Exhibitor or Exhibitors, and the Licensor is released from any and all claims for damage which might arise in consequence thereof. In the event that, for any reason the Show is not held as proposed, the Licensor, on refunding of moneys received from an Exhibitor or Exhibitors, in accordance with the preceding sentence, shall be released from all claims for damages.

Move In

Exhibitors must commence setting up exhibit 4 hours prior to the opening of the show and must be complete 1 hour prior to the show. Otherwise, the exhibitor may be denied entry to his exhibit space. No set up of any kind is allowed during show hours.

Move Out

All exhibits must be removed by 10:00PM on the last day of the show. No take down or removal of an exhibit is allowed prior to the closing of the show.

Important

If payment in full for booth space is not received by the Licensor 30 days prior to the Show then the Exhibitor has violated the terms of the contract and the Licensor may dispose of the space as it sees fit. Any notices to be given to the Exhibitor may be delivered to the address listed single registered mail.
