EXHIBIT SPACE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market® July 10 – 14, 2014
1) ASSIGNMENT/SUBLETTING Assignment, subletting, licensing or
transfer of Exhibit Space by Exhibitor, or use of the space not
permitted by AMC in writing is prohibited. Exhibitor shall not
exhibit or permit to be exhibited in the Exhibit Space allotted to
it any merchandise other than that specified in the application.
2) EXHIBIT REQUIREMENTS All booth arrangements shall conform
in all respects to the dimensional and height requirements
as specified by AMC. Exhibitor shall care for and keep in
good order the Exhibit Space it occupies and surrender such
Exhibit Space at the close of the Show in the same condition
it was when taken over. Exhibitor or its agents shall not injure
or deface the walls or floors of the building, the booths, the
equipment or furnishings of the booths or building within
which the Show takes place. No booth may obstruct the
general view or access to surrounding booths, displays, aisles
or public space within the building where the Show is being
held. Exhibits must remain intact until the scheduled hour of
conclusion of the Show, as such time is established by AMC. If
damage should occur, the Exhibitor will assume full liability for
any such damage caused by Exhibitor or its agents, employees,
or contractors, and AMC shall have the right to charge Exhibitor
for any repairs to the Exhibit Space and/or the building, and
Exhibitor shall immediately pay to AMC the requested sum(s).
3) REMOVAL OF MERCHANDISE Exhibitor shall be responsible for
the removal of its entire display, including without limitation,
walls, floors and furniture. Exhibitor should make certain
removal is performed only by its employees or other authorized
persons. AMC will not be liable for unauthorized removal of
articles, merchandise, equipment, displays or property.
4) RULES AND REGULATIONS/COMPLIANCE
Exhibitor
shall
observe and abide by these Terms and Conditions and such
other rules and regulations that AMC may adopt from time
to time. Exhibitor assumes all responsibility for compliance
with all pertinent ordinances, regulations and codes of duly
authorized local, state and federal governing bodies, including
without limitation those concerning fire, safety and health,
together with the rules and regulations of the operators and/
or owners of the property wherein the Show is held. Exhibitor
shall not display or sell any merchandise that is counterfeit
or which in any way infringes the trademarks, copyrights, or
other intellectual property of a third party, nor shall Exhibitor
display or sell any merchandise which the manufacturer
has not explicitly authorized Exhibitor to sell. Breach of this
covenant may result in immediate termination of this Contract
and the removal of Exhibitor from the Exhibit Space. Exhibitor
shall not display or sell any merchandise that tends to injure
the reputation or operations of AMC or any of its affiliates.
It is further agreed that Exhibitor will abide by and comply
with rules and regulations concerning local unions having
agreements with AMC or with authorized contractors retained
by AMC, or owners of the property wherein the Show is held.
Exhibitor is responsible for obtaining applicable permits or
licenses required by law and shall abide by all federal, state and
local laws. Exhibitor is responsible for the payment of all taxes,
fees and charges required by any legal authority associated
with use of the Exhibit Space and/or the building that are
not the responsibility of AMC. Without limiting the generality
of the preceding sentence, Exhibitor is solely responsible for
ascertaining the existence of any exemption from state or
local sales or use taxes for sales made from Exhibit Space,
and for timely returning and remitting all required sales and
use taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Exhibitor shall
be responsible for non-permanent accessibility requirements,
including, but not limited to, auxiliary aids for the visually
impaired, hearing impaired and mobility impaired, meeting
room arrangements and exhibition accessibility. In the event
Exhibitor fails to pay any amount hereunder as and when
the same is due and payable, AMC shall be entitled to, and
Exhibitor agrees to pay, interest on such unpaid amount at the
rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, together with all
costs incurred by AMC in collecting such amounts, including,
without limitation, AMC’s administrative costs (not to exceed
five percent (5%) of the amount collected), and AMC’s actual
attorneys’ fees.
5) CANCELLATION/SIZE MODIFICATION POLICY Exhibit space cost
must be paid in full in accordance with specified payment
deadlines. AMC may cancel this Contract without refund to
Exhibitor, and may re-assign any Exhibit Space previously
assigned to Exhibitor, upon failure of Exhibitor (i) to make
14
payment required hereby, (ii) to abide by these Terms and
Conditions and other rules and regulations as provided above, or
(iii) to claim its assigned Exhibit Space prior to the opening of the
Show. If the Show or any part thereof is prevented from being
held, is canceled by AMC or the Exhibit Space applied for herein
becomes unavailable because of war, fire, strike, government
regulations, public catastrophe, act of God, the public enemy
or other cause, AMC shall determine and refund to Exhibitor
its proportionate share of the balance of the aggregate exhibit
fee received, if any, which remains after deducting expenses
incurred by AMC and reasonable compensation to AMC, but
in no case shall the amount of refund to Exhibitor exceed the
amount of the exhibit fee paid. Cancellation of this Contract
by the Exhibitor will not result in a refund, credit or transfer of
Exhibit Space. In the event that a company elects to reduce the
assigned net square footage after formal confirmation of booth
space, the company will forfeit the deposit amount for each
booth released.
6) LIABILITIES Neither AMC, nor any of its members, agents,
employees and other representatives, shall be held
accountable or liable for, and the same are hereby released
from accountability or liability for any damages, losses,
harm or injuries to the person or any property of Exhibitor or
any of its officers, agents, employees, contractors or other
representatives, resulting from theft, fire, water, accident,
or any other cause. Exhibitor hereby agrees to indemnify,
defend, protect and hold harmless AMC and its owners,
affiliates, members, agents, employees, contractors and
other representatives from and against any and all claims,
suits, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, attorneys’ fees, and
expenses of whatever kind or nature which might result from
or arise out of any action or failure to act of Exhibitor or any of
its officers, directors, agents, employees, invitees, contractors
or other representatives or breach of this Contract.

Space, and no signs may be displayed on persons or otherwise
outside the Exhibit Space. Distribution by Exhibitor of any
printed matter, samples or other articles shall be restricted to
the confines of Exhibitor’s booth. Exhibitor further agrees that
it will not endorse, promote, or otherwise advertise any other
tradeshow in, from, or about the Exhibit Space. Exhibitor shall

discretion of AMC, is the source of objectionable noises

as objectionable, including without limitation signs,
lights, drawings and the costuming of exhibit personnel.

Space assignment in its official directory. Additional information
pertaining to Exhibitor’s merchandise may be included at the

representatives shall obtain passes from AMC’s registration

responsible for compliance with all copyright laws respecting
the performance or broadcast of live or recorded music
during or in connection with the Show. The performance or
broadcast of live or recorded music during or in connection
with the Show is expressly prohibited unless Exhibitor shall
have provided AMC with evidence satisfactory to AMC that
Exhibitor has entered into appropriate licensing agreements
with all relevant licensing agencies, including The American
Society of Composers, Author and Publishers (ASCAP) and
Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) prior to any such performance or
broadcast. In the event Exhibitor fails or refuses to provide
such satisfactory evidence, or to terminate immediately any
performance or broadcast music during or in connection with
the Show, AMC reserves the right to terminate this Contract,
with no cost, penalty or obligation on the part of AMC, and to
remove Exhibitor from the premises.
