COLLECTION COSTS:
Exhibitor agrees to pay attorney fees, collection fees, court costs, and other expenses incurred in collecting any charges under this agreement, in enforcing the terms of this contract.


ORGANIZATION OF DISPLAY:
Remember the Golden Rule when planning your space. Do not plan a display that will interfere with the spaces adjacent to, behind or across from you.

CLEANING:
Exhibitors are requested to use the trash receptacles placed throughout the Dome Room. At the end of the day, please set any trash in one of the trash bins. 

INSURANCE:
Exhibitors are advised to verify that their regular company insurance includes extra-territorial coverage, and that they have their own theft, public liability and property damage insurance. JMS Productions, The Dearborn Women’s Expo Show, the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, the City of Dearborn, and their respective employees will not be responsible for injury or damage that may occur to an exhibitor, his employees and/or agent, nor to the safety of an exhibit or other property against robbery, fire, accident, or any other destructive causes, prior, during or subsequent to the period covered by the exhibit contract. The Exhibitor signing the agreement expressly releases JMS Productions, the Dearborn Women’s Expo Show, the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, the City of Dearborn, and their respective employees from any and all claims for such loss, damage or injury. It is understood that consignment of goods is entirely at the risk of the Exhibitor.

ELECTRICAL AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS:
One 8 foot table with tablecloth and 2 chairs are included in the basics space prices. Electrical service can be purchased for an additional cost.

FLAMEPROOFING:
All materials and fluids that are flammable are to be kept in safety containers. Open flames, butane gas, oxygen tanks, etc. are not permitted.

EARLY DEPARTURE:
Each Exhibitor must remain “open for business” for the duration of the event. Breaking down gives a bad impression for the entire event and all exhibitors. Attendees expect a “full house” of exhibitors when entering and paying an admission fee. Those exhibitors leaving early will not be permitted to return to future events.

SUBLEASING SPACE:
Subleasing space is expressly forbidden without the Committee’s prior approval. This would also include displaying products, services, signs or literature of non-exhibiting, non-approved companies.

DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE/SOUVENIRS:
Advertising pieces and souvenirs may be distributed by Exhibitors from their rented space only. Anything that would be objectionable to other Exhibitors, Committee or show attendees may not be allowed at the Committee’s discretion. Very large items which make noise, printed material which is objectionable or items which could cause injury will not be allowed.

PREMISE DAMAGE:
Exhibitors will be responsible for any damage caused by their employees or agents to the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center. All property so damaged or destroyed will be made whole at Exhibitor’s expense. No tacking, taping, nailing, stapling of signs or displays into or onto permanent walls, floors, and/or display equipment will be permitted. The Committee will be available to help you determine methods of erection or dismantling that will avoid damage.


SHOW CANCELLATION:
Should any contingency force cancellation of the Show, such as fire, acts of nature, or any other cause, the Committee may retain such part of Exhibitor’s rental as shall be required to recompense it and the Show sponsors for expenses incurred up to the time such contingency occurred. The Exhibitor waives all claims for damages or recovery of payment made except the return of the pro-rated amount paid for exhibit space less expenses incurred by the Committee.


REPRESENTATIONS:
All exhibitors will be required to honor any and all representations, discounts, coupons or other promotional promises they make. The Committee will not be responsible for the failure of the exhibitors to honor these commitments.
