OPTOFAIR Terms & Conditions of Contract between Exhibitor and Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO)
CAO reserves the right to alter or change the space assigned
to the Exhibitor. CAO further reserves the right, at its sole
discretion, to change the date or dates upon which the show
is held, or to cancel the show, and shall not be liable in
damages or otherwise by reason of any such change or
cancellation, other than to refund in full any amounts paid by
the Exhibitor to the CAO.
The Exhibitor shall not sublet the space or `any part thereof
or permit same to be used by any other person, without the
prior written consent of CAO. Any attempt to do so is null
and void and will result in immediate cancellation of this
contract, and the forfeiture of any amounts paid by the
Exhibitor to CAO.
The Exhibitor shall comply with all rules and regulations by
CAO for the show and agrees that CAO’s decision to adopt
and enforce any such rule or regulation shall be final and
binding.
The Exhibitor is responsible for compliance with all
applicable laws, bylaws, ordinances, regulations,
requirements, codes and standards, including those with
respect to fire, safety, health and environmental matters and
shall ensure that all equipment, materials and goods used by
the Exhibitor so comply.
The Exhibitor shall indemnify and hold CAO harmless from
and against any loss, injury or damages whatsoever suffered
by CAO as a result of the Exhibitor’s failure to comply with
the terms and conditions of this contract or as a result of the
Exhibitor’s participation in the show, including without
limitation, any third party claim against CAO with respect to
loss, injury or damage sustained or suffered by any other
exhibitors, the owner of the building, attendees of the show,
and their respective directors, officers, agents and
employees.
This contract may be canceled by either party provided
written notice is received by May 15, 2015, in which case all
monies paid by the Exhibitors will be refunded less an
administration fee of $250 per booth. If the Exhibitor cancels
after the deadline then the Exhibitor will receive no refund.
CAO reserves the right at any time to alter or remove
exhibits or any part thereof, including printed material,
products, signs, lights or sound, and to expel exhibitors or
their personnel if, in CAO’s opinion, their conduct or
presentation is objectionable to CAO or to other show
participants.
The Exhibitor’s display must comply with all requirements of
CAO and of the Currie Centre, including maximum height
requirements. The Exhibitor must provide at least one staff
per booth/marketplace, to maintain display during show
hours. The Exhibitor agrees to confine its presentation to the
contracted space only.
All goods shipped to the show must be clearly marked with
the name of the CAO Exhibitor and the number of the booth.
CAO will not accept or pay for goods shipped “collect” to the
show. CAO assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to
the Exhibitors goods or property either before, during or
after the show. If shipping in advance, please make
arrangements with the designated firm to receive and store
your goods.
In consideration of the Exhibitor’s participation in the show,
the Exhibitor hereby releases CAO, its directors, officers,
agents and employees from any and all claims, losses, or
damages whatsoever suffered or sustained by the Exhibitor
in connection with its participation in the show, including,
without limitation, any claims for loss or theft of property,
personal injury, loss of business or profits, whether arising
from any act of Management or otherwise.
The Exhibitor agrees that no display may be dismantled or
goods removed during the entire run of the show. The
Exhibitor agrees to remove the exhibit, equipment and
appurtenances from the show building by the final move-out
time. In the event of failure to do so, the Exhibitor agrees to
pay for such additional costs as may be incurred by CAO.
The Exhibitor will comply with the rules and regulations of
any unionized contractors, which may be selected by CAO to
service the exhibitors. Any dispute between the Exhibitor and
any such contractor or union representative will be referred
to CAO for resolution, whose decision shall be final and
binding on all parties.
CAO reserves the right to cancel this contract and to
withhold possession of the space or to expel the Exhibitor
therefrom if the Exhibitor fails to comply with any terms and
conditions of this contract or the show rules and regulations,
in which case the Exhibitor shall forfeit as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty all payments made pursuant
to this contract, all without limiting CAO’s other rights and
remedies at law under this contract as a result of such failure
to comply.
