As an Exhibitor in the
show, we hereby agree to conduct business in a professional manner, to observe
the regular hours of the exposition, and to the following terms and conditions:
- Exhibitors will indemnify,
defend, and hold the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), Show Management
and its contractors, show hosts, sponsors, and cosponsors, and the Atlantic
City Convention Center harmless from any claims, losses, expenses, (including
attorneys’ fees) and liability arising in connection with the “Association’s”
meeting being held at the Atlantic City Convention Center, Atlantic City,
NJ, March 4-9, 2012. Exhibitor agrees to make no claims whatsoever for loss,
theft, damage, destruction of goods; nor for any injury to himself or employees
while in the exposition quarters; nor for any damage of any nature, including
damage to his business, nor for any loss resulting from labor disputes, acts
of God or nature, or any action of any nature of AEE and Show Management.
Force Majeure: In the event the Exhibit Hall or any part of the exhibit area
thereof is unavailable whether for the entire event, or a portion of the event
as a result of wind, fire, flood, tempest, act of God or nature, or any other
such cause or as a result of governmental intervention, malicious damage,
acts of war, acts of terrorism, strike, lockout, labor dispute, riot or any
other cause or agency over which Show Management has no control, or should
Management decide that because of any such cause it is necessary to cancel,
postpone, or resite this show, AEE, Show Management, Host, and Sponsors shall
not be liable to indemnify or reimburse the Exhibitor in any respect of any
damage or loss, direct or indirect, arising as a result thereof.
- Upon submitting booth
contract we understand booth space is non-cancelable and we agree to adhere
to the cancellation policy terms (No. 8). If we cancel, we will be charged
at a minimum 50% of the published booth fee for the number of spaces we have
contracted.
- Exhibitors are advised
to carry floater insurance to cover their exhibit material against damage
and loss and public liability insurance to cover against injury to the Exhibitor,
its staff, and to injury to others. All property of Exhibitor is understood
to remain under its custody and control in transit to and from and within
the confines of the exhibit area and Exhibitor shall maintain insurance covering
Exhibitor’s property. Exhibitor shall also carry comprehensive general
liability and property damage liability and statutory Workmen’s Compensation
with employers’ liability. Appropriate Certificates of Insurance shall
be furnished by Exhibitor upon request by Show Management or its contractors.
Obtaining insurance and amount of insurance remains solely the responsibility
of the Exhibitor.

of neighboring booths. In-line booth side-dividers of a height in excess of
36" must not extend further than three (3) feet out from the back wall.

portions of booth may be ordered “masked” by Show Management —
the expense for which is the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor. Carpeting
of exhibit space is required. AEE retains the right to change the expo floorplan
and Exhibitor’s booth location without prior notice.
- Internet advertising
is available to current Exhibitors who have submitted at least a 50% booth
deposit. Special exhibit/packaged rate reflects a significant discount off
of regular Internet advertising rates and may not be combined with any other
offers. AEE reserves the right to reject advertising for any reason whatsoever.
- All exhibits must be
set up by 5:00 pm the evening prior to the opening of the show. Booth space
not set up and claimed by the evening prior to the show opening will be forfeited
and may be reassigned by Show Management at its discretion. AEE reserves the
right to force set an exhibitor's booth if freight has been delivered or remove
freight from the floor prior to show opening. All charges will be applied
to the exhibitor's account.

No explosives, fuel, combustibles, or hazardous materials, decorative materials
not fireproof nor flameproof, or any materials or substances deemed hazardous
under applicable fire regulations may be brought into the Exhibit Hall. Exhibitor
