CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE 2015 TESOL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION & ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXPOTHIS CONTRACT is made between TESOL International Association (hereafter, “TESOL”) and the Exhibitor (hereafter, the “Exhibitor”) for lease of certain exhibit space, to be assigned by TESOL, during the 2015 TESOL English Language Expo at Metro Toronto Convention Centre. (Hereafter, the exposition shall be referred to as the “Exhibit,” and Metro Toronto Convention Centre shall be referred to as the “Exhibit Facility.”) This Contract shall be in effect upon its execution by TESOL. IN CONSIDERATION OF the fees paid by Exhibitor for lease of space and the lease of such space by TESOL, the parties agree to the following terms and conditions of this Contract:

Contract for Space This Contract for Exhibit space and a non‑refundable 50% deposit of the total cost constitutes a Contract for the right to use the space. The balance is due no later than 31 December 2014. All balance due payments received after this date will be charged the listed rate after 31 December. Full payment is required for Contracts received after 31 December 2014. This Contract constitutes rental of booth space ONLY and does not include carpeting, other furnishings, electricity, internet, or booth cleaning.

Booth Assignments Assignment of space will be made through the priority point system. After that process is complete, assignment will be based on a first come, first served basis. No Contract will be processed without a deposit. If none of the Exhibitor’s choices are available, space most similar to the 1st choice in location, price, and competitive situation will be assigned. Cross‑aisle booth space will not be allowed on Exhibit floor. Island configurations can be reserved throughout the Exhibit floor upon approval from TESOL (see “Booth Design and Configuration”). Booths assigned by contractual agreement cannot be altered once finalized. TESOL reserves the right, if necessary; to alter the Exhibit hall layout in such a way that it does not alter the essence or intentions outlined in existing Contracts.

Exhibitor Badges (NEW)The Exhibitor is eligible to receive two (2) Full Registration badges and four (4) Exhibit Hall Only badges per contracted 10' x 10' booth space. Each Full Registration will receive one (1) TESOL Convention Program Book. Any additional badges must be purchased at the rate of $155 per Full Registration and $70 per Exhibit Hall Only badge, not to exceed ten (10) total badges. Exhibit Hall Only badges are intended for booth personnel who work the duration of the event.

Outstanding Balances Any Exhibitor showing unpaid balances at the time of set‑up will be denied space until such time as the amount due has been paid in full.

Set up of Booth Any space not occupied by 8 pm on Wednesday, 25 March 2015, will be forfeited by Exhibitor, and such space may be sold, reassigned, or used by TESOL without the Exhibitor receiving a refund or rental fees. Exhibitors are not permitted to set up or erect a display until the space rental is paid in full.

Dismantling of Booth Exhibitors may not pack or move any freight from the Exhibit Facility before the close of the Exhibit hours on Saturday, 28 March 2015. Any Exhibitor who chooses to dismantle outside of the dedicated teardown times will lose, at a minimum, all accumulated priority points (see “Booth Assignments”).

Booth Design and ConfigurationNo walls, partitions, decorations, or other obstructions may be erected that in any way interfere with the view of another Exhibitor. Exhibitors who wish to use any non‑standard booth equipment, signs, decorations, or arrangements of display materials that in any way conflict with the stated regulations must submit two copies of a detailed sketch or layout (including all dimensions) no later than 15 January 2015 for approval by TESOL’s Exhibits Manager ([email protected]).• Standard Exhibit Configurations (10' x 10',

10' x 20', and 20' x 20'): Exhibits must not be higher than 8' in the back and 4' on each side. Display fixtures over 4' high must be confined to the area of the Exhibit booth which is within 5' of the backline. Nothing over 4' high can be

within 5' of the aisle line (the front half of the booth). Hanging signs are not allowed above standard Exhibit booths.

• Island Exhibit Configurations: Exhibits must not be higher than 16' (subject to ceiling height). Island configurations and multi‑story exhibits must be pre‑approved by TESOL’s Expo Show Manager and the Exhibit Facility no later than 15 January 2015. Additionally, multi‑story exhibits must be approved by stamp or signature of a structural engineer indicating that the structure is properly engineered for the proposed use.

Staffing of Booth Exhibits must be open and staffed for business during published exhibition hours.

Exhibit Hall Hours• Thursday, 26 March 2015, 8:30 am–5:30 pm• Friday, 27 March 2015, 8:30 am–5:30 pm• Saturday, 28 March 2015, 8:30 am–2 pm

Cancellation/Refunds All notifications of cancellation must be made to TESOL in writing via email. For cancellations received through 31 December 2014, the 50% booth deposit will be forfeited and any remaining balance will be refunded. No refunds will be given on booth space canceled after 31 December 2014.

Cancellation by TESOLTESOL shall have no liability or obligation to the Exhibitor for any fees paid or for any damages, loss, or injury if the Exhibit space becomes unavailable or its use is diminished by reason of fire, act of God, riot, labor dispute, authority of law, or any other cause beyond the control of TESOL. Should any such event occur, TESOL may, in its sole discretion, refund a portion of the amount paid for the Exhibit space after deducting amounts necessary to cover TESOL’s expenses.

Liability(a) The Exhibitor shall be solely responsible

to third parties, including invitees and the public, for all claims, liabilities, actions, costs, damages, and expenses arising out of or relating to the Exhibitor’s participation in the Exhibit.

(b) The Exhibitor shall indemnify and hold harmless TESOL, and the Exhibit Facility, their officers, directors, members, agents, employees, and sponsoring organizations, against any and all actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs, and expenses asserted, brought or claimed by third parties, arising out of the Exhibitor’s participation in the Exhibit. The Exhibitor agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and litigation costs) incurred by TESOL, its officers, directors, members, employees, and agents, in defending or resolving such claims as may be asserted against them.

(c) TESOL shall not be responsible for any bodily injury or other damages or losses suffered by the Exhibitor, its employees, or agents or for loss or damage to property owned, leased, or used by Exhibitor, either while in transit to or from the Exhibit or while in the Exhibit Facility, from any cause whatsoever. Exhibitor agrees to safeguard its own Exhibit materials or goods from the time they are placed in the Exhibit Facility until they are removed.

(d) Exhibitor acknowledges that TESOL does not maintain insurance covering the Exhibitor, its agents, or its property, and that it is the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor to obtain liability, business interruption, property damage, and other insurance covering such losses or liability.

Customs Regulations and Customs BondsEquipment and Exhibits, in most cases, may be brought in free of duties and taxes, provided that a Customs Broker provides a bond to cover all imports to the Exhibit.

Exhibitors not using a Customs Broker may be required to post a deposit, or pay duties and taxes, with Canada Customs.

Exhibit Facility Regulations Refer to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre website at http://www.mtccc.com/exhibitors/services.aspx for more complete Exhibit Facility rules and regulations. It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to adhere to all regulations set by both TESOL and the Exhibit Facility.

Special Regulations(a) Reassignment or subletting of all or any part

of booth space is prohibited. An Exhibitor may not assign, sublet, or apportion all or any part of the space contracted to him/her. Any materials other than those manufactured or distributed by the Exhibitor in the regular course of business may not be displayed by the Exhibitor or be allowed by the Exhibitor to be displayed by other persons or firms.

(b) Solicitation and distribution of printed advertising must be confined to booth space ONLY. Canvassing is prohibited. Aisles must be kept clear at all times.

(c) Operation of any objectionable sound device will not be allowed.

(d) Nothing shall be posted on or tacked, nailed, taped, screwed, or otherwise attached to columns, walls, floors, or other parts of the Exhibit Facility or furniture.

(e) Distribution of helium‑filled balloons or adhesive‑backed stickers or decals is prohibited.

(f) Food and beverage for distribution must be supplied and prepared by the Exhibit Facility Food Services Department.

(g) Exhibitor shall not sponsor functions during the Exhibit hours or in conflict with any officially programmed convention event without prior written approval.

(h) All materials used in the Exhibit Facility must be nonflammable or conform to fire regulations of the city of Toronto and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Good Taste TESOL reserves the right to reject, control, or remove Exhibitors that, in the opinion of TESOL, do not serve the TESOL Mission Statement, are objectionable, or detract from the dignity of the Exhibit.

Good Neighbor Policy Musical instruments, radios, projection machines, CD players, VCRs, televisions, noise‑creating devices, amplifying systems, or live entertainment shall be operated only at a level which will not interfere with other Exhibitors and MUST conform to the Exhibit Manager’s requirements.

Anti-Discrimination PolicyTESOL does not permit job advertisements that refer to the applicants’ race, sex, color, national origin (except with reference to visa policies), ethnicity, religion, native language or language background, medical or health condition (including HIV/AIDS status), gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
