In the event that the premises in which the Exhibition is or is to be conducted shall become, in the sole discretion of Management, unfit for occupancy, or in the event the holding of the Exhibition or the performance of Management under the contract (of which these Rules and Regulations are a part) are substantially or materially interfered with by virtue of any cause or causes not reasonably within the control of Management, said contract and/or the Exhibition (or any part thereof) may be terminated by Management. Management shall not be responsible for delays, damage, loss, increased costs or other unfavorable conditions arising by virtue of cause or causes not reasonably within the control of Management. If Management terminates said contract and/or the Exhibition (or any part thereof) as foresaid, then Management may retain such part of an Exhibitor’s rental as shall be required to recompense it for expenses incurred up to the time such contingency shall have occurred, and there shall be no further liability on the part of either party. For purposes hereof, the phrase “cause or causes not reasonably with the control of Management” shall include, but not by way of limitation: fire; casualty; flood; epidemic; earthquake; explosion or accident; blockade embargo; inclement weather; governmental restraints; restraints or orders of civil defense or military authorities; act of public enemy; riot or civil disturbance; strike, lockout, boycott or other labor disturbance; inability to secure sufficient labor; technical or other personnel failure; impairment or lack of adequate transportation facilities; inability to obtain condemnation, requisition or commandeering of necessary supplies or equipment; local, State or Federal laws, ordinances, rules, orders, decrees or regulations whether legislative, executive or judicial, and whether constitutional or unconstitutional, or Act of God.

22. Resolution of Disputes. In the event of a dispute or disagreement between: Exhibitor and an Official Contractor; or between Exhibitor and a Labor Union or Labor Union Representative; or between two or more Exhibitors; all interpretations of the rules governing the Exhibition, actions, or decisions concerning this dispute or disagreement by Management intended to resolve the dispute or disagreement shall be binding on Exhibitor.

23. Receipt of Goods and Exhibits. All arriving goods and exhibits will be received at receiving areas designated by Management. All incoming goods and exhibits must be plainly marked and all charges prepaid.

24. Care and Removal of Exhibits. Management will maintain the cleanliness of all aisles. Exhibitor must, at his own expense,. keep exhibits clean and in good order. All exhibits must remain fully intact until the Exhibition has officially ended. Disturbing or tearing down an exhibit prior to the official closing hour of the Exhibition can result in a refusal by Management to accept or process exhibit space applications for subsequent exhibitions. Exhibits must be removed from the building by the time specified in the Exhibitors’ Manual. In the event any Exhibitor fails to remove his exhibit in the allotted time, Management reserves the right, at the Exhibitor’s expense, to ship the exhibit through a carrier of Management’s choosing or to place the same in a storage warehouse subject to the Exhibitor’s disposition or make such other disposition of this property as it may deem desirable without any liability to the Management.

25. Photography. The photographic rights for the Exhibition are reserved to Management, and photography in the Exhibition required by Exhibitors can be carried out at moderate charges by the Official Photographers (as designated by management) if desired. Exhibitors wishing to make their own arrangements for the photographing of their exhibit must apply to Management, whose permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.

26. Insurance. Exhibitor is advised to see that his regular company insurance includes extraterritorial coverage, and that he has his own theft, public liability, and property damage insurance.

27. Losses. Management shall bear no responsibility for damage to Exhibitor’s property, or lost shipments either coming in or going out, nor for moving costs. Damage to inadequately packed property is Exhibitor’s own responsibility. If exhibit fails to arrive, Exhibitor is nevertheless responsible for exhibit space cost. Exhibitor is advised to ensure against these risks.

28. Amendment to Rules. Any matters not specifically covered by the preceding rules shall be subject solely to the decision of Management. The Management shall have full power in the matter of interpretation amendment and enforcement of all said rules and regulations, and that any such amendments when made and brought to the notice of the said Exhibitor shall be and become part hereof as though duly incorporated herein and subject to each and every one of the terms and conditions herein set forth.

29. Agreement to Rules. Exhibitor, for Himself and his Employees, and Representatives, agrees to abide by the foregoing rules and by any amendments that may be put into effect by Management.

30. Payments and Default. Any amounts not paid when due under this contract will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, if the Exhibitor defaults on any of its obligations under this contract or violates any Exhibition rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to this contract, the Management may, without notice, terminate the Exhibitor’s rights under this contract and may thereupon direct the Exhibitor forthwith to remove its Employees and Agents, and all of its articles or merchandise and other personal property, from the space contracted for and from the Exhibit Hall. In the event of a termination of this contract as a result of any such Exhibitor default or violation the Management may retain all monies paid or payable under this contract as liquidated damages. The Exhibitor will be responsible for any costs reasonably incurred by Management (including reasonable attorney’s fees) in enforcing the Exhibitor’s obligations under this contract.

31. Contract Acceptance. Deposit of your check does not constitute contract acceptance. This agreement shall not be binding until accepted by Management.

32. Agreement Non-assignable. This agreement is non-assignable. Any attempted assignment of this agreement shall be null and void and shall constitute a breach of this agreement, resulting in cancellation.
