Exhibitors shall be bound by PSAI rules and regulations set forth herein and printed in the exhibitors service manual, and by such amendments or additional rules and regulations, which may be established by the PSAI. 1) Assignments and Contract for Space By contracting for exhibit space, the applicant releases the PSAI and its agents from any and all liabilities to applicants, their agents, licensees, or employees that may arise or be asserted as a result of submission of an application or participation in this exhibit. The PSAI determines the eligibility of any company or product for exhibit. Only authorized new equipment, products, and services that have a direct application to the portable sanitation industry will be considered for exhibit. Determination of the applicability of any equipment, product, or service to the portable sanitation industry rests solely with the PSAI, whose decision shall be final. Acceptance of an exhibit contract does not imply endorsement by the PSAI or its directors, employees, volunteers, contractors, agents, or assigns of the applicant's equipment, products, services, or manufacturers. Whenever possible, exhibit space assignment will be made by the PSAI in keeping with the desires of the applicant. However, final determination of exhibit space assignment is reserved by the PSAI, and assignments will be made or changed in the best interest of the trade show as determined by the PSAI management's sole discretion. This contract for space becomes valid when duly authorized agents for both the exhibiting firm and the PSAI have affixed their signatures and payment in full has been received. If payment, or proof of intent to pay is not received within the prescribed time limit, the contract is considered void and the exhibit space can be reassigned. No refund will be made for space that is contracted for but not used, or for space that is unused during any portion of the exposition hours. Should exhibit space remain unoccupied at the opening of the exposition, the PSAI may lease or use the space for other purposes without obligation or refund. 2) Arrangement of Exhibits Exhibit construction and arrangements will be governed by the official PSAI rules and regulations, which become part of this contract. Exceptions will be permitted only on written request of the exhibitor and written permission from the PSAI. Such requests must be made no later than 60 days prior to the opening of the trade show. Exceptions that are acceptable to neighboring exhibitors who will be affected by the exceptions are permitted by the PSAI, provided evidence of such acceptance by neighboring exhibitors is submitted to PSAI no later than 60 days prior to opening date of the trade show. Exceptions and violations of display rules and regulations that exist at the time of PSAI's inspection prior to the opening of the trade show and that have not been previously cleared with PSAI management must be corrected prior to the opening of the trade show. Failure to do so can result in the removal of the offending exhibit at the exhibitor's expense. The exhibit space provided will be as shown on the official floor plan insofar as possible, but the PSAI reserves the right to make changes at any time in location, size, and display limits of the exhibit area, if this is in the best interest of the trade show. 3) Assignment and Subleasing The exhibitor agrees not to assign, sublease, permit the use of, or apportion in whole or in part any of the leased space. The exhibitor shall not exhibit therein, or permit any other person or party to exhibit therein, any equipment, products, goods, apparatus, services, or matter of any kind manufactured–whether or not performed or distributed by the exhibitor in the regular course of the exhibitor's business–on behalf of an other company, except upon prior written consent of the PSAI, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the PSAI consents to such an assignment, sublease, use, or apportionment, the exhibitor shall not be relieved of or released from any of its obligations or duties under the sublease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent for space leased. 4) Use of Exhibit Space The PSAI may forbid any installation or activity, which, if continued, departs from the purpose and character of the exposition or which negatively impacts the ability of other exhibitors to conduct business free from unreasonable interference. The PSAI reserves the right to expel from the trade show any exhibitor and its personnel who refuse to comply with any ruling and/or to correct any violation of PSAI rules and regulations. In the event it becomes necessary to restrict any installation or activity or to evict an offending exhibitor, the PSAI is not liable for any refund of exhibit space rental or any other expenses incurred by the exhibitor. 5) Conduct All demonstrations, interviews, or other activities must be conducted so as not to infringe on the rights of other exhibitors or offend visitors to the trade show. All spectators watching demonstrations or other activities in an exhibit area must remain within the confines of the exhibit and may not stand in aisles. No undignified or disruptive manner of attracting attention to exhibits will be permitted. The exhibitor agrees not to sponsor group functions such as outside tours, special showings, or other activities during trade show hours or in conflict with any officially programmed Convention and Trade Show events. The exhibitor agrees not to provide food or beverages in their booth without authorization from the PSAI and purchasing it from vendors approved by the convention facility. The exhibitor agrees neither to contract for nor to use any services in connection with its exhibit within the exhibit facilities or its grounds without written authorization from the PSAI. At least 60 days prior to the opening date of the trade show, the exhibitor shall supply the PSAI the names of any persons or organizations, other than those designated as official contractors in the Exhibitor Service Manual, who are proposed for the performance of any services for the trade show, and the PSAI will promptly notify the exhibitor of any disapproval of such selections. 22
