Preliminary space assignments requested in the contract will be placed on hold and, if payment is not received according to the payment policy, the preliminary space assignment will be released back into general inventory for other companies to select. The exhibitor is still responsible for the quantity and size of space requested on the contract and will be required to select new space assignments when payment is received based on current availability at that time. Exhibit space contract terms are not voided in the event of nonpayment.
INS reserves exclusive rights to allocate exhibit space in a manner most appropriate to the objectives of INS meetings/conventions. However, INS reserves the right to alter the space assignments due to unforeseen circumstances. Special considerations will be given with regard to the date INS receives a signed exhibitor contract.
