The exhibitor expressly agrees that any exhibit material
remaining after the contracted move-out time has been left behind
and may be removed and disposed of at the expense of the exhibitor
and without liability to the Association.
7. Liability Insurance The Association must be notified and
receive proof of adequate liability insurance, in the amount no
less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for personal and
property damage, at least 30 days prior to show setup. The name of
the exhibitor and identification of the outside contractor must be
included.
8. Independent Events Industry-sponsored events must be approved
by the Association. No event may be scheduled to conflict with the
Association’s meeting agenda and exhibit hours. Companies that are
not exhibiting cannot host independent events. Unapproved events
conflicting with the Association’s educational activities
jeopardize the Association’s accreditation status and are strictly
prohibited.
9. Audio-Visual and Sound Operation of equipment for
demonstration or use may not create noise levels objectionable to
neighboring exhibitors.
10. Unacceptable Exhibits The exhibitor agrees not to use any
displays that the Association, in its absolute discretion,
determines may unreasonably endanger the person or property of the
attendees or of the exhibitors, are in bad taste, are liable to
discredit or subject the Association to criticism or legal
liability, are inconsistent with the stated purposes of the
Association and the interest and welfare of its members, are
inimical to the property rights of the Association, or violate the
booth regulations or any other provision of this contract. In the
event the Association determines at any time that any exhibit may
or does violate this contract and the exhibitor is unable or
unwilling to cure or correct such violation, the Association may
terminate this agreement immediately and forbid erection of the
exhibit or may remove or cause the exhibit to be removed at the
exhibitor’s expense, and the exhibitor hereby waives any claim for
refund of the exhibit booth or other damages arising out of such
termination and/or exhibit removal. Any exhibitor who is uncertain
as to whether an exhibit is in compliance with all applicable
regulations and requirements should contact the Association.
11. Insuring Exhibits Exhibitors are encouraged to insure their
exhibits, merchandise, and display materials against theft, fire,
etc., at their own expense. It is suggested by the Association that
the exhibitor contact the exhibitor’s insurance broker and obtain
all-risk insurance covering exhibit property while absent from home
premises for exhibit purposes, or a rider to the exhibitor’s
existing policy covering the same.
Neither the hotel or the Association will be responsible for
loss or damage to any property in storage, in transit to or from
the exhibit building, or while in the exhibit building for any loss
of income as a result of any reduced sales due to such loss or
damage. All property of the exhibitor will be deemed to remain
under the exhibitor’s custody and control in storage, in transit to
or from, or within the confines of the exhibit hall, even though it
may at times be under the temporary control or direction of the
Association.
12. Liability for Damages or Loss of Property Exhibiting areas
will close for viewing but the area is not a closed area and there
will be no security guard on the premises. The hotel and the
Association shall not be responsible or liable for any injury,
loss, or damage to any property or person brought in by the
exhibitor or otherwise located in the exposition premises.
13. Music Licensing The exhibitor represents and warrants that
it shall comply with all copyright restrictions applicable to
exhibitors including, but not limited to, any music performance
agreement between the Association and ASCAP or BMI. Exhibitor
further represents and warrants that it shall obtain any additional
license or grant of authority required of exhibitors under the
copyright laws and present the Association with a copy of such
license or grant by within 1 month prior to the activity start
date.
14. Fire Regulations No exhibitor shall use any flammable
decorations or coverings. All fabrics or other materials used shall
be flameproof.
15. Advertising Material. The use or distribution of any
giveaways during the activities shall be subject to prior written
approval by the Association. Such material shall be submitted to
the Association for approval by July 17, 2019. Except as otherwise
provided, the Association will not endorse, support, or be liable
for the claims made by the exhibitors as to the qualities or merits
of their products or services, and no advertising or mention will
indicate, claim, or suggest such endorsement or support. All
handouts must be distributed within the designated exhibiting
area.
16. Miscellaneous. The Association shall have the sole authority
to interpret and enforce all terms and conditions governing
exhibitors and this exhibition. Any and all matters not
specifically covered herein are subject to decision by the
Association. These terms and conditions may be amended at any time
by the Association upon written notice to all exhibitors. The
exhibitor expressly agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions
set forth herein and by any amendments thereto adopted by the
Association from time to time. This contract shall be interpreted
under the laws of the United States and the State of Illinois.
