ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE: Exhibitor members of SPPA who are current in payment of dues receive priority booth assignments. Allocation of space will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The floor and booth diagrams published in promotional material are as accurate as possible, but changes are sometimes necessary, and if they occur, Exhibitors will receive equitable adjustments as determined by management.

CANCELLATION: In the event the show is cancelled for reasons beyond control of SPPA (such as acts of God, acts of war, governmental emergency, or unavailability of the exhibit facility), SPPA shall refund booth payments paid, minus a share of costs and expenses incurred, in full satisfaction of all liabilities. In such cases, SPPA shall be free from any claim for damages which Exhibitor alleges to have suffered as the result of such cancellation. If Exhibitor desires to cancel, it must be done by written notice, with evidence of a receipt. If written notice is received after January 29, 2010, all booth fees will be forfeited by the Exhibitor. If written notice is received prior to January 29, 2010, booth fees will be refunded less a $50.00 cancellation fee.

USE OF SPACE: Exhibits are only located on the show floor. Exhibiting elsewhere violates Show Regulations. An exhibiting supplier may reserve space only for their own use and may not assign or sublet space to other Exhibitors. SPPA reserves the right to restrict or remove any exhibit which SPPA, in its sole discretion, determines that to do so is in the best interest of the event.

INSTALL/DISMANTLE: Installation of exhibits must be set up during the dates and times identified by SPPA. Exhibits shall remain open during official exhibit hours for the full duration and shall be closed at all other times. Dismantling of booths cannot start until the show has officially closed and must finish by 6:00p.m. Early dismantling may result in forfeiture of all earned priority points. Exhibitors shall not hold business or social functions to which distributors are invited during official exhibit hours or during hours of SPPA sponsored business or social functions.

BOOTH STANDARDS: All in-line (2 booths must adjoin) booths shall conform to the booth construction standards set forth in the display rules and regulations published by professional trade show organizations. All display fixtures and booth staff (solicitation) must be confined to your contracted booth space. No material shall be outside the defined booth limits

DISPLAY RACKS MAY NOT EXCEED 4 FEET IN HEIGHT NOR EXTEND MORE THAN 5 FEET FROM THE BACK DROP OF EACH BOOTH. No built up exhibits or other construction shall exceed 8 feet in background height, including canopies and umbrellas. Back-to-back booths are not permitted. Portable or pop-up units must be secure. Aisles, passageways, and overhead spaces remain strictly under the control of SPPA and no signs, decorations, banners, etc., will be permitted. All booths are 8 feet deep and 10 feet wide. Booth structure and all display materials MUST fit inside the booth space.

FIRE PROTECTION: All booth decorations must be flameproof. Electrical wiring must conform with National Electrical Code Safety Rules. SPPA reserves the right to demand removal of all or such part of the exhibit as may be nonconforming or hazardous. The Exhibitor is charged with knowledge of all local laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining to health, fire prevention, and public safety while participating in the show. Compliance with such laws is mandatory for all Exhibitors and the sole responsibility is that of the Exhibitor, including that the exhibit will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

AESTHETICS: Exhibitors shall not congregate or solicit trade in the aisles and no Exhibitor shall conduct himself/ herself in a manner offensive to decency or good taste. Exhibits cannot contain any noise-producing equipment sufficiently loud that it may reasonably disturb adjacent Exhibitors. SPPA reserves the right to prohibit or evict any nonconforming Exhibitor and SPPA shall not be liable for refunds of exhibit fees.

ATTENDEES: The SPPA show is closed to the general public, end-users of promotional products, children under the age of 14, and suppliers who are not exhibiting.

FOOD/BEVERAGE SAMPLING: The distribution of food samples must not result in unsightly or annoying conditions to other Exhibitors and be confined to the limits of Exhibitor’s booth. SHOW MANAGEMENT: SPPA reserves the right to make such modifications in the exhibit hours as may be necessary to meet program needs.

INDEMNIFICATION: Exhibitor agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless and defend SPPA, and its directors, officers, agents, employees, and each of them from and against any and all claims, costs, and expenses (including legal fees, and expenses), demands, actions, and liabilities of every kind with respect to any breach of the foregoing representations and warranties
