Contract Must Include:Name of organizationName, address, phone, e-mail of Primary Exhibit ContactDeposit per payment schedule

Responsibilities/LiabilitiesThe Primary Exhibit Contact will have the authority to act on behalf of the Exhibiting Corporation (Exhibitor) in space reservation transactions with the CRS (Soci-ety). The signature of the Primary Exhibit Contact is required on this Contract and binds the Exhibitor and its representatives to all regulations and terms of this document and constitutes a binding agreement. The Society must receive written notice of change of the Exhibitor’s Primary Exhibit Contact, when applicable.

The Exhibitor assumes entire responsibility and agrees to protect, indemnify, defend, and save the Society and its agents harmless against all claims, loss or damage to persons or property, arising out of or caused by Ex-hibitor’s installation, removal, maintenance, occupancy, or use of the Exhibit premises. The Exhibitor indem-nifies and agrees to hold the Exhibit Facility and the legal entities which own, lease, and/or operate the Ex-hibit Facility, their members, officers and directors, and employees, harmless against any and all liability what-soever arising from any or all damage to property or personal injury caused by Exhibitor or its agents, rep-resentatives, employees, or any other person. Contract for Exhibit Space at this CRS Exposition indicates the applicant’s willingness to abide by all accompanying exhibit terms and conditions and general regulations listed as well as such additional rules and regulations as the Society deems necessary for the success of the exposition, provided these latter do not materially alter the Exhibitor’s contractual rights. Upon receipt of pay-ment, the invoice issued to you represents a binding contract.

Finalization of Exhibit Reservation: Contracts for Ex-hibit spaces are subject to the approval of the Society. The Society reserves the right to offer or refuse exhib-it rental to potential Exhibitors. Exhibit space assign-ments will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Individual Exhibitor Registration: Entrance to the exposition is by CRS name badge only. The Primary Exhibit Contact will receive copies of all preliminary and program announcements to facilitate Exhibit and accommodation registrations.

Cancellation: Cancellations must be made in writing. Cancellation requests made 60+ days prior to the meeting will incur a $1,000 Cancellation Penalty Fee.

Labor and Safety: The Decorator’s ESK will contain or-der forms for labor.

No refuse may be placed in the aisles after the final cleaning. Please do not litter the floor, in the exhibits, or aisles after cleaning.

Dismantling: No packing or dismantling of Exhibits will be permitted prior to the published tear-down time.

Liability: Although security personnel are appointed, neither the Society, the Facility, nor the decorator or their agents can assume responsibility for any loss or damage to exhibits, equipment, rental furnishings/equipment, and/or personal belongings onsite.

Insurance: Insurance on all Exhibits is the responsibili-ty of the Exhibitor. Neither the Society nor its agents, assigns, or assignees, will assume any responsibility for property loss, damage, personal injury, or other claims related to the Exhibitor’s stand.

Fire Protection: All materials used in the exhibit area must be flameproof and fire resistant. All displays are subject to inspection by the Fire Marshall.

Special Effects and Presentation: Operational equipment, audio-visual and sound/attention getting devices and effects must not interfere with the activi-ties of the meeting and other Exhibitors. The Society reserves the right to determine at what point sound constitutes interference, and if it must be discontinued. Professional presenters or models may conduct prod-uct and service demonstrations. Demonstrators are to be straightforward and professional and must avoid the use of theatrical gimmicks such as magicians, robots, pantomimists, balloons, etc.

The use or performance of live or recorded music, in-cluding but not limited to music on videotapes, by the Exhibitor for any purpose under this contract is prohib-ited.

Conduct of Exhibits: The character of the Exhibit is subject to the approval of the Society. The Society re-tains the right to refuse the applications of Exhibitors not meeting standards required or expected, as well as the right to curtail Exhibits or parts of Exhibits which reflect unfavorably upon the character of the meeting. Non-professional products or services are not to be displayed.

Termination of Exhibit Rights: In the event the Ex-hibitor, its contractors, agents, or employees fail to comply with any of the provisions hereof, or otherwise detract from the general educational character of the meeting, the Society shall be permitted and empow-ered to terminate the Exhibitor’s right hereunder, and evict and remove the Exhibitor and contractors hired by the Exhibitor from the premises, in which event the Exhibitor shall not be entitled to any refund of amounts paid hereunder.
