Assignment of Space Booths will be assigned after the due date upon a first-come, first-serve basis and based on support levels.    Every effort will be made to respect the exhibitors’ space choices whenever possible, but the IntNSA’s (hereafter known as “exhibit management”) decisions shall be final. Exhibit management reserves the right to transfer assignments when such action is deemed to be in the best interests of the total exhibit effort.   3.

Eligible Exhibits Exhibit management reserves the right to determine the eligibility of any company or product for inclusion in the exposition.   5. Refund for Cancellation Should the exhibitor be unable to occupy and use the exhibit space contracted for, he or she shall promptly notify exhibit management. All sums paid by the exhibitor, less a service charge of 50 percent, will be refunded after the conference. No refund or cancellation will be accepted on or after Aug. 15, 2014.   6. Booth Equipment and Services IntNSA will supply one 6’ skirted table and two chairs per tabletop exhibit booth space. All other required services (additional furnishings, electrical, A/V services and Internet) must be ordered directly from the Madison Hotel at the exhibitor’s expense.   7. Contractor Service Information In the best interest of the exhibitors, exhibit management has selected certain firms to serve as official contractors to provide various services to the exhibitors. It is agreed that the exhibitor will abide by and comply with rules and regulations concerning local unions having agreement with the exposition facility or with authorized contractors employed by show management.    Complete information, instructions and schedule of prices regarding drayage, labor for erecting and dismantling, electrical work, furniture, cleaning, etc. will be included in the Exhibitors’ Service Manual, to be forwarded after exhibit booth space has been confirmed. An Exhibitors’ Service Center will be maintained on the exhibit floor until the opening of the exhibit hall to facilitate service requests from exhibitors.   8. Security IntNSA will NOT provide security service during the hours the exhibit hall is closed. Exhibitors are responsible for the security of their own exhibit areas and property during move-in, show hours, and move-out. Do not leave valuables unattended. IntNSA is not responsible for loss or damage due to any cause.   9. Booth Construction and Arrangement Exhibits shall be arranged so as not to obstruct the general view nor hide the exhibits of others. Plans for specially built displays not in accordance with regulations are to be submitted to exhibit management before construction is ordered.    Regular and specially built back walls, including signs, may not exceed an overall height of 8’. The maximum booth height of 8’ may extend out ½ the depth of the booth from the back wall. Height limitation of the display in the balance of the area is 3’, except for product and equipment on display which in itself exceeds this height. 10. No dismantling will be permitted before closing time. It is expressly agreed by the exhibitor that in the event he or she fails to install his or her products in his or her exhibit space, or fails to pay the space rental at the time specified, exhibit management shall have the right to take possession of said space and lease same or any part thereof to such parties and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem proper.    No exhibitor shall have the right prior to closing of exposition to pack or remove articles from exhibit. There are NO exceptions to this policy. 11. Use of Exhibit Space Exhibitors agree not to assign or sublet any space allotted to them without written consent of exhibit management, nor to display or advertise goods other than those manufactured or carried by them in the regular course of business.    No persons, firm or organization not having contracted with exhibit management for the occupancy of space in the exhibit will be permitted to display or demonstrate its products, processes or services, distribute advertising materials in the halls or corridors, or in any other way occupy or use the facilities for purposes inconsistent with these regulations.

12. Exhibitor Representative Each exhibitor must name at least one person to be his or her representative in connection with the installation, operation and removal of the exhibit. Such representative shall be authorized to enter into such service contracts as may be necessary, and for which the exhibitor shall be responsible. Names for representatives must be submitted by Sept. 8, 2014.. 13. Restrictions Exhibit management reserves the right to restrict exhibits which are objectionable because of noise, glaring or flashing lights, method of operation or any other reason, and also to prohibit or evict any exhibit which, in the opinion of exhibit management, may detract from the general character of the exhibition. This reservation includes persons, things, conduct, printed matter or anything exhibit management judges to be objectionable. In the event of such restriction or eviction, exhibit management is not liable for any refund of any amount paid hereunder. No display material exposing an unfinished surface to neighboring booths will be permitted.    Demonstrations must be so located that crowds collected will be within the exhibitor’s space, and not blocking aisles or neighboring exhibits. Contests of any kind must first be approved in writing by exhibit management. 14. Exhibitor Activities Company/Exhibitor agrees not to schedule or conduct any outside activity including, but not limited to, receptions, seminars, symposia and hospitality suites, that are in conflict with the official program of the International Nurses Society on Addictions, whether such activities are held at or away from the hotel, except with written approval of exhibit management.    Company/Exhibitor will submit to exhibit management 60 days prior to the exhibit date any program exhibitor intends to hold at or in conjunction with its exhibit for written approval as to time and place. 15. Responsibility If the exhibitor fails to comply in any respect with the terms of this agreement, exhibit management shall have the right, without notice to the exhibitor, to offer said space to another exhibitor, or to use said space in any other manner. This shall not be construed as affecting the responsibility of the exhibitor to pay the full amount specified by the contract. 16. Compliance The exhibitor assumes all responsibility for compliance with all pertinent ordinances, regulations and codes of duly authorized local, state and federal governing bodies concerning fire, safety, health, together with the rules and regulations of the operators and/or owners of the property wherein the exhibit is held. Cloth decorations must be flameproof. Wiring must comply with fire department and underwriters’ rules. 17. Liability The International Nurses Society on Addictions, the Madison Hotel, Applied Measurement Professionals, Inc., their agents or employees shall not be responsible for any loss, theft or damage to the property of the exhibitor, his or her employees, or representatives. Further, exhibit management will not be liable for damage or injury to persons or property during the term of this agreement from any cause whatsoever by reason of the use or occupancy of the exhibit space by the exhibitor or his assigns, and the exhibitor shall indemnify and hold harmless exhibit management from all liability, which might ensue from any cause whatsoever; if the exhibitor’s material fails to arrive, the exhibitor is nevertheless responsible for all amounts due hereunder. The exhibitor assumes the entire responsibility and liability for losses, damages and claims arising out of injury or damage to exhibitor’s displays, equipment and other property brought upon the premises of the Madison Hotel and shall indemnify and hold harmless the hotel agents, servants and employees from any and all such losses, damages and claims.    Exhibitors are advised to carry special insurance to cover exhibit material against damage and loss, and public liability insurance against injury to the person or property of others. 18. Cancellation or Termination of Exposition In the event that the premises where the exposition is to be held shall, in the sole determination of exhibit management, become unfit or unavailable for occupancy, or shall be substantially interfered with, by reason of picketing, strike, embargo, injunction, act of war, terrorism, act of God, fire or state of emergency declared by any government agency or by reason of any municipal, state or federal law or regulation or by reason of any other occurrence beyond the control of exhibit management, exhibit management may cancel or terminate the exposition.    In the event of such cancellation or termination, the exhibitor waives any and all claims the exhibitor might have against exhibit management for damages or expenses and agrees to accept in complete settlement and discharge of all claims against exhibit management the exhibitor’s prorated share of the total amount paid by all exhibitors less all costs and expenses incurred by exhibit management in connection with the exposition including a reserve for future claims and expenses in connection therewith. 19. Management Exhibit management reserves the right to interpret, amend and enforce these regulations as it deems proper to assure the success of the exposition.
