DEFINED TERMS. The term “Event” means Snowvana scheduled to be held on Oct 20-21st, 2017 (the “Event Dates”) at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The Event is owned, produced and managed by Snowfish, Inc. As used herein, the term “Fish” means, collectively, Snowfish, Inc. and each of its officers, directors, shareholders, agent, affiliates, divisions, representatives, employees and assigns, unless the context requires otherwise. The term “Exhibitor” means, collectively, (i) the company or person that applied for exhibit space rental and agreed to enter into this contract upon acceptance by Fish in the manner stated below and (ii) each of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, personnel, contractors, agents, representatives and/or invitees, as applicable.
CONTRACT ACCEPTANCE. This contract shall become binding and effective only when it has been signed on the facing page by Exhibitor and counter-signed on the facing page by a duly authorized representative of Fish. Fish may refuse acceptance of any contract for any or no reason.
ASSUMPTION OF RISKS. Releases. Exhibitor expressly assumes all risks associated with, resulting from or arising in connection with Exhibitor’s participation or presence at the Event, including, without limitation, all risks of theft, loss, harm, damage or injury to or of any person (including death), property, business or profits of Exhibitor, whether caused by negligence, intentional act, accident, act of God or otherwise. Exhibitor has sole responsibility for its property and any theft, damage or other loss to such property (whether or not stored in any courtesy storage area), including any subrogation claims by its insurer. Neither Fish nor the Event Facility accepts responsibility, nor is a bailment created, for property delivered by or to Exhibitor. Neither Fish nor the Event Facility shall be liable for, and Exhibitor hereby releases all of them from, and covenants not to sue any of them with respect to, any and all risks, losses, damages and liabilities whether described in this paragraph or not.
INDEMNIFICATION. Exhibitor shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel satisfactory to Fish), and hold Fish and the Event Facility harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, liabilities, damages, losses, costs (including attorneys’ fees) and expenses which result from or arise out of or in connection with (a) Exhibitor’s participation in or presence at the Event, (b) any breach by Exhibitor of any agreements, covenants, promises or other obligations under this contract or any other contract, arrangement or agreement; (c) any matter for which Exhibitor is otherwise responsible under the terms of this contract or any other contract, arrangement or agreement, (d) any violation or infringement (or claim of violation or infringement) by Exhibitor of any law or ordinance or the rights of any party under any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right, (e) any libel, slander, defamation or similar claims resulting from the actions of Exhibitor, (f) harm or injury (including death) to Exhibitor, and (g) loss of or damage to property or the business or profits of Exhibitor, whether caused by negligence, intentional act, accident, act of God, theft, mysterious disappearance or otherwise.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Under no circumstances shall Fish or the Event Facility be liable for any lost profits or any incidental, special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages whatsoever for any of their acts or omissions, whether or not apprised of the possibility of any such lost profits or damages. Fish makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the number of persons who will attend the Event or regarding any other matters.
MANAGEMENT OF THE EVENT. Facility may employ reputable guards during the course of the exhibition to regulate the flow of attendees at the Event. These guards are not security guards. Neither Fish, nor the owners or lessors of the Event Facility, shall assume any responsibility for Exhibitor’s personal safety or property. As a condition of exhibiting at the Event, Exhibitor shall insure its property against damage, loss and theft.
QUALIFICATIONS OF EXHIBITOR. Fish, in its sole discretion, determines whether a prospective exhibitor is eligible to participate in the Event. Eligibility is generally limited to persons or firms that supply products and services to the snow sports consumer or enthusiast. Applicants may be required to submit a description of the nature of their business and the items to be exhibited. Fish reserves the right to restrict or remove any exhibit that Fish, in its sole discretion, believes is objectionable or inappropriate.
BADGES. All Exhibitor personnel may be required to wear appropriate badges provided by Fish at all times during the Event.
ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE. Exhibit space shall be assigned by Fish in its sole discretion for the Event and for the Event Dates only. That assignment does not imply that similar spaces will be assigned for future Events. Fish reserves the right to change the floor plan or to move an Exhibitor to another booth location prior to or during the Event for any or no reason. Fish reserves the right to determine the eligibility of any company or product for inclusion in the Event. No exhibitor shall exhibit or permit to be exhibited in the space allocated to it any merchandise other than that specified in its application. Fish further reserves the right to add, alter or delete from the Event’s floor plan at any time in its sole discretion. Booth sharing is not allowed, this means only the registered exhibitor shall exhibit in that booth.
BOOTH PLACEMENTS. Fish will attempt to honor all booth placement requests if application and payment are made within stipulated time limit. However, Fish reserves the right to make alternative placement. Offers made as to location of space are current policy and not a guarantee. Fish shall be the final authority in assigning space.
MERCHANDISE GROUPING. Application for space must state type of merchandise to be displayed. Placement in a location indicated will be based on the description of merchandise as stated in application for space. If type of merchandise actually displayed is different, Fish may reassign Exhibitor to the appropriate exhibit area. Fish is the sole authority in regard to product/merchandise grouping.
CANCELLATION BY EXHIBITOR. If Exhibitor desires to cancel this contract, Exhibitor may only do so by giving notice thereof in writing sent to Fish with evidence of receipt. In such case, Exhibitor will continue to be liable for 100% of the total exhibit fee unless the written notice of cancellation is received by Fish no later than 45 days prior to the opening date of the Event. If written notice of cancellation is received 45 or more days before the opening date of the Event, Exhibitor will be liable for 50% of the total exhibit fee. Because these dates are related to the Event Dates and not to the date of this contract, these dates shall apply regardless of the date on which this contract is executed. This amount is considered to be liquidated and agreed upon damages, for the losses Fish will suffer as a result of Exhibitor’s cancellation. Fish reserves the right to treat Exhibitor’s downsizing of booth space as cancellation of the original contract and an offer to purchase new booth space. Exhibitor may be required to move to a new location if it requests a downsizing of space.
CANCELLATION BY FISH. If Exhibitor fails to make a payment required by this contract in a timely manner, Fish may terminate this contract (and Exhibitor’s participation in the Event) without further notice and without obligation to refund any monies previously paid. Fish reserves the right to refuse Exhibitor permission to move in and set up an exhibit if Exhibitor has failed to timely make any payment due to Fish. Fish is expressly authorized (but has no obligation) to occupy or dispose of any space vacated or made available because of action taken under this paragraph in any manner it desires, and without releasing Exhibitor from any liability hereunder. Fish may also terminate this contract effective upon written notice of termination if Exhibitor breaches any of its obligations under this contract or any other contract or arrangement with Fish, without any obligation on Fish’s part to refund any payments previously made and without releasing Exhibitor from any liability arising as a result of or in connection with such breach. If Fish removes or restricts an exhibit that Fish considers to be objectionable or inappropriate, no refund will be due to Exhibitor.
CANCELLATION OF THE EVENT. If Fish cancels the Event due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Fish (such as acts of God, acts of war, governmental emergency, labor strike or unavailability of the Exhibit Facility), Fish shall refund to Exhibitor its exhibit space rental payment previously paid, minus a reasonable share of costs and expenses incurred by Fish, in full satisfaction of all liabilities of Fish to Exhibitor. Fish reserves the right to cancel, rename or relocate the Event or change the Event Dates. If Fish changes the name of the Event, relocates the Event to another Event facility within the same city, or changes the Event Dates to dates that are not more than 30 days earlier or 30 days later, no refund will be due to Exhibitor, but Fish shall assign to Exhibitor, in lieu of the original space, other space as Fish deems appropriate and Exhibitor agrees to use that space under the terms of this contract. If Fish elects to cancel the Event other than for a reason previously described in this paragraph, Fish shall refund to Exhibitor its entire exhibit space rental payment previously paid in full satisfaction of all liabilities of Fish to Exhibitor.
