Exhibitor:

Changes to these terms and conditions will only be of effect if they are made in writing and signed by an authorized official of TravMedia, and shall notwithstanding be of no effect if they increase the liabilities of the Organizer or its employees and agents.

Nothing in this contract shall create any rights for third parties under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. No variation to this contract shall create any such rights unless expressly so stated in any such variation.

The Exhibitor expressly acknowledges that this contract constitutes the entire agreement between the Exhibitor and the Organizer in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and extinguishes any prior agreements, arrangements, or understandings in connection with the subject matter hereof. No variation of or amendment to this contract shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the Organizer and the Exhibitor.

The failure of the Organizer at any time to enforce any provision of this contract or the Rules and Regulations shall not affect its rights thereafter to require complete performance by the Exhibitor, nor shall the waiver of any breach of any such provision be taken as or held to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or to be a waiver of the breach itself.

This contract shall be construed in accordance with United States of America Law, with the Exhibitor agreeing to the jurisdiction of New York Courts.

The space secured by an Exhibitor may not be assigned, lent, or given to any other brand than the Exhibitor name identified on the Booking Form, nor may any other benefit secured under this contract be assigned, lent, or given to any other brand.

Exhibitor: Exhibitors may not allow any other brand or person unconnected with the Exhibitor's name as identified on the Booking Form to promote the Exhibitor brand, or any other brand, or distribute information relating to the Exhibitor brand, or any other brand, during the Event. This shall not apply to any subsidiary or connected brands of the Exhibitor listed on the Booking Form and which are agreed with the Organizer by virtue of the Booking Form.

Exhibitor: The Event shall run from 7:00am – 5:30pm EST, and Exhibitors must make sure their table(s) are manned by nominated staff (only) during these times.

Admission into the Event for Exhibitors / Media shall be by personalized registration.

Exhibitor: The Organizer shall be entitled to ask an Exhibitor to remove an exhibit or promotional literature if the Organizer believes the item is libelous, obscene, or otherwise likely to damage the good reputation of the Event.

Any Exhibitor who has not done so may be deemed to have canceled and may have their appointments and table reallocated to another Exhibitor. No Exhibitor may vacate their table before the time at which the Event closes.

Exhibitor: The Organizer shall not be responsible for the loss, theft, or damage to any items brought to the Event by the Exhibitor and the Exhibitor's staff. The Exhibitor is therefore advised to insure its belongings separately.

Cancelations of Exhibitor registrations made by October 31, 2024 will receive a 100 percent refund less any associated costs already incurred by the Organizer, including but not limited to venue fees, admin fees, marketing collateral, and the Organizer's staff time.

Cancelations of exhibitor registrations made between November 1, 2024 and November 30, 2024 will receive a 50 percent refund less all associated costs already incurred by the Organizer.

The maximum liability of the Organizer is limited to the value of the Exhibitor fee.

Exhibitor: (i) The Organizer, its officers, employees, servants, or agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage (including consequential or indirect loss or damage) suffered by the Exhibitor, its officers, employees, agents, contractors, or invitees, whether such loss or damage arises from breach of a duty in contract, or tort, or in any other way, and which shall include (but not by way of limitation) loss of profits, loss of contracts and loss of or damage to property or goods of the Exhibitor or any person.

The Exhibitor acknowledges that if the Event is rescheduled, the Organizer will have sustained damages and losses as a result, and the Exhibitor hereby waives all claims for damages or compensation against the Organizer. The sum paid to the Organizer as fees or otherwise in connection with the Event shall remain the property of the Organizer.

Whilst the Organizers shall act in good faith, the name of any Exhibitor which may appear on any Event program or table number or any statement made by or on behalf of the Organizer that any Exhibitor is booked to attend the Event provisionally or otherwise shall not constitute any warranty, representation or undertaking by the Organizer that any such Exhibitor will attend.

Where directed by the Organizer, the Exhibitor must use these contractors to help set up the Exhibitor's table(s). However, an Exhibitor may be permitted to appoint another contractor to design and set up their Event table, a sponsored table, or other dedicated space, subject to the Organizer being formally advised in writing in advance of the show. Tables and other dedicated spaces may only be created whose design specifications have been approved in advance by the Organizer and Venue Owner.

(ii) Tables shall not obstruct the view of adjoining Exhibitors nor be operated in any manner objectionable to other Exhibitors. All lighting within the Event must be arranged and operated so as not to be distracting to adjacent Exhibitors.

All such objects can only be used in the form of imitations and on the condition they contain no flammable matter.

Exhibitor: The Organizer is not responsible for assisting the Exhibitor in obtaining a passport and visa for entrance into the country where the Event is to be held. The fact that the Exhibitor is unsuccessful in obtaining these documents from the necessary government authorities will not constitute a basis for cancelation of this contract, and it is clearly understood that no refunds whatsoever will be made outside of the above cancelation period. Nor is the price of booking a table supposed to imply any overnight accommodation at any local hotel. Exhibitors are responsible for arranging their own accommodation. The Exhibitor, however, may, subject to the Organizer's approval, substitute another party or company who meets the entry and government formalities necessary for entry into the country where the Event is to be held. Such substitution shall be the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor. The Exhibitor acknowledges that the Organizer shall not be held responsible for the failure of all or any other contracted exhibitors to attend the Event or the failure of any number of attendees to attend the Event for any reason. Whilst the Organizers shall act in good faith, the name of any Exhibitor which may appear on any Event Program or table number or any statement made by or on behalf of the Organizer that any Exhibitor is booked to attend the Event provisionally or otherwise shall not constitute any warranty, representation or undertaking by the Organizer that any such Exhibitor will attend the Event or attend any particular location.

Exhibitor: The Organizer and its respective officers, agents, and employees are not responsible for any loss, damage or delay incurred in freight shipments (transport, handling, and clearing) into and out of the country for sponsorship opportunities. Exhibitors must insure against relevant loss.

The Organizer reserves the right in its absolute discretion to exclude any person whose presence is or is likely to be undesirable, and the Organizer may exercise such rights notwithstanding that any person is the officer, agent, employee, or contractor of the Exhibitor / Media or otherwise in any way connected or associated with the Exhibitor / Media.

Exhibitor: Exhibitors agreeing to book a group of tables – where the brands involved are in some way commercially connected – are responsible for ensuring that all Exhibitors within their group are fully aware of and agree to abide by this contract and by the Rules and Regulations.

The information on the Booking Form, including any individual's name, will be kept on computer and used for the purposes as registered under the Data Protection Acts. The Organizer reserves the right to vary these terms and conditions on reasonable notice to Exhibitors / Media in advance of the Event.
