exhibit space terms & conditions
1) ASSIGNMENT/SUBLETTING Assignment, subletting,
licensing or transfer of Exhibit Space by Exhibitor,
or use of the space not permitted by AMC in writing
is prohibited. Exhibitor shall not exhibit or permit to
be exhibited in the Exhibit Space allotted to it any
merchandise other than that specified in the application.
2)EXHIBIT REQUIREMENTS All booth arrangements shall
conform in all respects to the dimensional and height
requirements as specified by AMC. Exhibitor shall care
for and keep in good order the Exhibit Space it occupies
and surrender such Exhibit Space at the close of the
Show in the same condition it was when taken over.
Exhibitor or its agents shall not injure or deface the walls
or floors of the building, the booths, the equipment or
furnishings of the booths or building within which the
Show takes place. No booth may obstruct the general
view or access to surrounding booths, displays, aisles
or public space within the building where the Show
is being held. Exhibits must remain intact until the
scheduled hour of conclusion of the Show, as such
time is established by AMC. If damage should occur,
the Exhibitor will assume full liability for any such
damage caused by Exhibitor or its agents, employees,
or contractors, and AMC shall have the right to charge
Exhibitor for any repairs to the Exhibit Space and/or the
building, and Exhibitor shall immediately pay to AMC the
requested sum(s).
3)
REMOVAL OF MERCHANDISE Exhibitor shall be
responsible for the removal of its entire display, including
without limitation, walls, floors and furniture. Exhibitor
should make certain removal is performed only by its
employees or other authorized persons. AMC will not be
liable for unauthorized removal of articles, merchandise,
equipment, displays or property.
4)
RULES AND REGULATIONS/COMPLIANCE Exhibitor
shall observe and abide by these Terms and Conditions
and such other rules and regulations that AMC may adopt
from time to time. Exhibitor assumes all responsibility for
compliance with all pertinent ordinances, regulations
and codes of duly authorized local, state and federal
governing bodies, including without limitation those
concerning fire, safety and health, together with the
rules and regulations of the operators and/or owners of
the property wherein the Show is held. Exhibitor shall
not display or sell any merchandise that is counterfeit or
which in any way infringes the trademarks, copyrights,
or other intellectual property of a third party, nor shall
Exhibitor display or sell any merchandise which the
manufacturer has not explicitly authorized Exhibitor to
sell. Breach of this covenant may result in immediate
termination of this Contract and the removal of Exhibitor
from the Exhibit Space. Exhibitor shall not display or sell
any merchandise that tends to injure the reputation or
operations of AMC or any of its affiliates. It is further
agreed that Exhibitor will abide by and comply with
rules and regulations concerning local unions having
agreements with AMC or with authorized contractors
retained by AMC, or owners of the property wherein
the Show is held. Exhibitor is responsible for obtaining
applicable permits or licenses required by law and
shall abide by all federal, state and local laws. Exhibitor
is responsible for the payment of all taxes, fees and
charges required by any legal authority associated with
use of the Exhibit Space and/or the building that are
not the responsibility of AMC. Without limiting the
generality of the preceding sentence, Exhibitor is
solely responsible for ascertaining the existence of
any exemption from state or local sales or use taxes
for sales made from Exhibit Space, and for timely
returning and remitting all required sales and use
taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Exhibitor
shall be responsible for non-permanent accessibility
requirements, including, but not limited to, auxiliary
aids for the visually impaired, hearing impaired and
mobility impaired, meeting room arrangements and
exhibition accessibility. In the event Exhibitor fails to
pay any amount hereunder as and when the same is
due and payable, AMC shall be entitled to, and Exhibitor
agrees to pay, interest on such unpaid amount at the
rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, together with
all costs incurred by AMC in collecting such amounts,
including, without limitation, AMC’s administrative costs
(not to exceed five percent (5%) of the amount collected),
and AMC’s actual attorneys’ fees.
2013 – 2014 Atlanta Apparel
5) CANCELLATION/SIZE MODIFICATION POLICY Exhibit
space cost must be paid in full in accordance with
specified payment deadlines. AMC may cancel this
Contract without refund to Exhibitor, and may re-assign
any Exhibit Space previously assigned to Exhibitor, upon
failure of Exhibitor (i) to make payment required hereby,
(ii) to abide by these Terms and Conditions and other
rules and regulations as provided above, or (iii) to claim
its assigned Exhibit Space prior to the opening of the
Show. If the Show or any part thereof is prevented from
being held, is canceled by AMC or the Exhibit Space
applied for herein becomes unavailable because of war,
fire, strike, government regulations, public catastrophe,
act of God, the public enemy or other cause, AMC shall
determine and refund to Exhibitor its proportionate share
of the balance of the aggregate exhibit fee received, if
any, which remains after deducting expenses incurred
by AMC and reasonable compensation to AMC, but
in no case shall the amount of refund to Exhibitor
exceed the amount of the exhibit fee paid. Cancellation
of this Contract by the Exhibitor will not result in a
refund, credit or transfer of Exhibit Space. In the event
that a company elects to reduce the assigned net
square footage after formal confirmation of booth space,
the company will forfeit the deposit amount for each
booth released.
6)LIABILITIES Neither AMC, nor any of its members,
agents, employees and other representatives, shall
be held accountable or liable for, and the same are
hereby released from accountability or liability for any
damages, losses, harm or injuries to the person or
any property of Exhibitor or any of its officers, agents,
employees, contractors or other representatives,
resulting from theft, fire, water, accident, or any other
cause. Exhibitor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend,
protect and hold harmless AMC and its owners, affiliates,
members, agents, employees, contractors and other
representatives from and against any and all claims,
suits, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, attorneys’
fees, and expenses of whatever kind or nature which
might result from or arise out of any action or failure to
act of Exhibitor or any of its officers, directors, agents,
employees, invitees, contractors or other representatives
or breach of this Contract.
7)USE, SIGNS AND ADVERTISING AMC may use any part
of the Exhibit Space or the building at any time. AMC
may remove any person during the Show whom AMC
believes is disrupting or obstructing proper operation
and management of the Show. No demonstration or
solicitation by or on behalf of Exhibitor shall be permitted
outside of Exhibitor’s assigned Exhibit Space, and
no signs may be displayed on persons or otherwise
outside the Exhibit Space. Distribution by Exhibitor of
any printed matter, samples or other articles shall be
restricted to the confines of Exhibitor’s booth. Exhibitor
further agrees that it will not endorse, promote, or
otherwise advertise any other tradeshow in, from,
or about the Exhibit Space. Exhibitor shall not have
or operate any display or exhibit which, in the sole
discretion of AMC, is the source of objectionable noises
or odors or has materials that are considered by AMC
as objectionable, including without limitation signs,
lights, drawings and the costuming of exhibit personnel.
8)DIRECTORY AMC will list Exhibitor’s firm name and
Exhibit Space assignment in its official directory.
Additional information pertaining to Exhibitor’s
merchandise may be included at the sole discretion of
AMC. However, AMC will not be responsible for errors
or omissions occurring in the printed directory, or for
unintentional failure to include an exhibiting firm in the
printed directory.
9)PASSES Exhibitor and its officers, agents, employees
and other representatives shall obtain passes from
AMC’s registration desk and wear the pass while in the
Show at all times.
10)MUSIC It is understood and agreed that Exhibitor is
solely responsible for compliance with all copyright
laws respecting the performance or broadcast of live or
recorded music during or in connection with the Show.
The performance or broadcast of live or recorded music
during or in connection with the Show is expressly
prohibited unless Exhibitor shall have provided AMC
with evidence satisfactory to AMC that Exhibitor has
entered into appropriate licensing agreements with all
relevant licensing agencies, including The American
Society of Composers, Author and Publishers (ASCAP)
and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) prior to any such
performance or broadcast. In the event Exhibitor fails
or refuses to provide such satisfactory evidence, or to
terminate immediately any performance or broadcast
music during or in connection with the Show, AMC
reserves the right to terminate this Contract, with no
cost, penalty or obligation on the part of AMC, and to
remove Exhibitor from the premises.
11)INSURANCE Exhibitor and its contractor(s) shall
maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance
and Personal Injury coverage at its sole cost and
expense for all of its activities at the Show, and shall
have AMC and any party designated by AMC named
as additional insureds on all such policies. Policy
limits shall be at least $1,000,000/$1,000,000 Bodily
Injury and Property Damage combined. Exhibitor and
its contractor(s) shall also maintain, at its sole cost
and expense, Workers Compensation Insurance for
employees participating in the Show, as required by
law. Exhibitor warrants that by signing this Contract
it has complied specifically with the insurance
requirements of the Contract. Evidence of insurance
coverage in the form of a valid Certificate of Insurance
specifying the above coverages, including activities at
the Show, must be provided to AMC at its request.
12)HAZARDOUS PROPERTY AMC prohibits Exhibitor
from bringing any exhibit(s), equipment, vehicle(s) or
material(s) into the Exhibit Space or the Building if
AMC determines that such is dangerous to persons,
property or any part of the Exhibit Space or the
Building. AMC shall not be responsible for termination
