Terms & Conditions

You may only show your products and services. Solicitation of employees/consultants/contractors during Engage hours is prohibited.Your display must be for the sole purpose of promoting Your supplier business. All sales presentations will take place within your assigned space.

Insurance
You are completely and solely responsible for Your space, the materials that You ship to and from the event and the material in your space whether shipped by ASIShow (“Show”)or a third-party. Consequently, You should have appropriate insurance. You shall, at Your own expense, secure and maintain through the term of this Agreement, including move-in and move-out, Worker’s Compensation Insurance, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance and Automobile Liability Insurance.

Comprehensive General Liability and Automobile Liability Insurance policies shall name as additional insured Show and each of its subsidiaries.

The Certificates of Insurance of policies shall provide that they may not be canceled without thirty (30) days advance written notice to Show.

Fees for Participating Suppliers
Show requires a deposit of 1/3 total amount due at the time of reservation, see Payment Schedule on reverse for details. Agreements without payment will not be processed, without exception. Methods of payment include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover. Deposits are non-refundable, non-creditable and non-transferable.Balance is due 90 days prior to event. There are no refunds for cancellations for Engage events. All cancellations must be made in writing to Show management.

Cancellation of Participation
Deposits are non-refundable, non-creditable and non-transferable. Any participating supplier who does not attend the event without notifying Show management in writing a minimum of 90 days before the event will be charged the full, non-discounted fee. Participating suppliers who notify Show management in writing of cancellation 90 days prior to event will receive 50% credit less deposit. All amounts forfeited are considered to be liquidated and agreed upon damages for injuries that Show will suffer as a result of Your cancellation. This provision for liquidated and agreed upon damages is a bona fide provision and not a penalty. The parties understand that the withdrawal of the space reserved from the availability at a time when other parties would be interested in applying for it will cause Show to sustain damages. In this situation, Show damages will be substantial,but they will not be capable of determination with mathematical precision.Therefore, the provisions for liquidated and agreed upon damages have been incorporated into this Agreement as a valid pre-estimate of these damages.The date of cancellation shall be the date Show receives the written notice.
