Booth Regulations and Liability Statement1. Admission Entrance to the exhibit area is by ASBC name badge only. Each

exhibiting organization is entitled to two (2) complimentary individual registrations. Additional registrations are available at the regular exhibitor price. The registration packet will be sent to exhibit con-tacts March 2013. Each attendee needs to fill out an individual registration form.

2. ExhibitShipping,Set-up,andStaffing Exhibit shipments CANNOT be received at the hotel prior to the

set-up day due to storage limitations. C.O.D. shipments CANNOT be accepted anytime. Exhibitors must have their exhibit set up

prior to the opening of the show. Move-in and move-out times for exhibitors and the decorating company will be strictly adhered to. Exhibitors must staff their exhibit at all times during the exhibit hours. Failure to adhere to the above will result in forfeiture of space. No refunds on space will be made, and ASBC will have the right to use the space for whatever purpose it deems appropriate.

3. Fire and Safety All exhibits, or portions thereof, must fully comply with applicable

health, fire, and safety regulations. No combustible decorations shall be used at any time. All materials and fluids that are flam-mable must be approved by ASBC and, if approved, must be kept in safety containers. Open flames, butane gas, oxygen tanks, etc., are not allowed.

4. Conduct of Exhibits The rights and privileges of an exhibitor shall not be infringed upon

by any other exhibitor. Interviews, demonstrations, distribution of literature, etc., must be made inside the exhibitor’s area. Canvass-ing, solicitation of business, or the use of advertising materials or signs by firms other than those who have contracted for space is prohibited. The distribution by exhibitors of circulars, catalogs, or other advertising materials for firms that are not exhibitors is pro-hibited. ASBC reserves the right to decline or prohibit any display or portion thereof that in the opinion of the ASBC Exhibit Manager is not in keeping with the character of

the exhibition. ASBC may restrict displays that, because of noise, acts, odors, costumes, gimmicks, method of operation, materi-als, or for any reason, become objectionable to the exhibition. In the event of such restriction or eviction, ASBC is not liable for any refunds or rentals or other exhibit expense.

5. Care of Building and Equipment Nothing shall be posted, tacked, nailed, screwed, or otherwise

attached to columns, walls, floor, or other parts of the building or furniture. Anything in connection therewith necessary or proper for the protection of the building, equipment, or furniture will be at the expense of the exhibitor. Exhibitors will be responsible for any damage to persons or property caused by reason of their exhibits, employees, agents, or servants. Balloons are not permitted.

6. Character of the Exhibit Displays may consist of equipment, services, materials, and prod-

ucts (within limitations stated elsewhere on this form, in the Exhibi-tor Prospectus, and in the booth package) of interest to the ASBC membership. Recorded or live music is prohibited in the exhibit hall.

7. Display Guidelines If an exhibitor plans to install a display (custom, pop-up, or table-

top), no part of the display may project out of the booth space so as to obstruct the view of adjacent exhibit booths. No exhibit, or its contents, may exceed a back wall height of eight feet (8'). Side wall height restrictions are as follows: the exhibit cannot exceed a height of eight feet (8') within three feet (3') from the back wall. The remain-ing exhibit height cannot exceed the height of three feet (3'). Raw wood, cardboard, or similar materials for “wings” to displays must be covered or painted if they are visible to the adjacent exhibit booth. Please be advised that these restrictions apply to all exhibits.

8. Contests,Games,Raffles,andLotteries Exhibitors may not offer or give attendees door or other similar

prizes in the exhibition hall. Contests, lotteries, raffles, and games of chance are prohibited. All “giveaways” shall be of a nominal monetary value and in keeping with the nature of a scientific and professional meeting.

9. Cancellations,Indemnifications,andSubletting This application shall become a binding contract between the par-

ties hereto upon its acceptance by the American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC). It is understood and agreed that in the event of the cancellation of the ASBC Annual Meeting or in the event the space assigned to the exhibitor is, in the opinion of the ASBC Exhibit Manager, rendered unusable by any cause, casualty, or occurrence, then and thereupon this Agreement shall terminate, and the exhibitor shall pay for said space only up to the time of said termination, prorate, and the exhibitor hereby waives any claims for damages or compensation should this Agreement be so terminated. The exhibitor agrees to protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the ASBC from any and all liability, loss, damage, or expense resulting from the exhibitor’s use of the exhibition space. This Agreement and the rights herein granted to the exhibitor may not be assigned or otherwise disposed of or encumbered by the exhibitor without the written consent of the ASBC.

10. Insurance and Liability Insurance, if desired by exhibitors and/or required by the hotel,

must be obtained at the exhibitor’s cost and expense. ASBC and its agents and employees assume no risk, and by the acceptance of this Agreement the exhibitor expressly releases them of and from any and all liability for any damage, injury, or loss to any person or goods, from any cause whatsoever. All property shipped to and from the hotel, exhibit hall, and/or drayage firm by the exhibitor for installation or display is the sole responsibility of the exhibitor. It is recommended that exhibitors obtain adequate insurance coverage, at their own expense, for property loss or damage and liability for personal injury.

11. Union Clearance In order to conform to union contract rules and regulations it may

be necessary that all exhibitors use qualified union personnel for the various services required for installation and dismantling of exhibits and for material handling within the show.

12. General The American Society of Brewing Chemists reserves the right to

rearrange the floor plan and/or relocate any exhibit display. The ASBC Exhibit Manager has the right to enforce any and all portions of these rules and policies. In interpreting these rules and policies, particular attention will be given to preserving the professional and educational nature of the exhibit.
