Exhibit shipments CANNOT be received at the hotel prior to the set-up day due to storage limitations. C.O.D. shipments CANNOT be accepted anytime. Exhibitors must have their exhibit set up prior to the opening of the show. Move-in and move-out times for exhibitors and the decorating company will be strictly adhered to. Exhibitors must staff their exhibit at all times during the exhibit hours. Failure to adhere to the above will result in forfeiture of space.

The distribution by exhibitors of circulars, catalogs, or other advertising materials for firms that are not exhibitors is prohibited. ASBC reserves the right to decline or prohibit any display or portion thereof that in the opinion of the ASBC Exhibit Manager is not in keeping with the character of the exhibition. ASBC may restrict displays that, because of noise, acts, odors, costumes, gimmicks, method of operation, materials, or for any reason, become objectionable to the exhibition. In the event of such restriction or eviction, ASBC is not liable for any refunds or rentals or other exhibit expense.
Nothing shall be posted, tacked, nailed, screwed, or otherwise attached to columns, walls, floor, or other parts of the building or furniture.

ASBC and its agents and employees assume no risk, and by the acceptance of this Agreement the exhibitor expressly releases them of and from any and all liability for any damage, injury, or loss to any person or goods, from any cause whatsoever. All property shipped to and from the hotel, exhibit hall, and/or drayage firm by the exhibitor for installation or display is the sole responsibility of the exhibitor.

The exhibitor agrees to protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the ASBC from any and all liability, loss, damage, or expense resulting from the exhibitor’s use of the exhibition space. This Agreement and the rights herein granted to the exhibitor may not be assigned or otherwise disposed of or encumbered by the exhibitor without the written consent of the ASBC.
