PAYMENT: If reservation is made before the Balance Due date, a $150 payment is required to secure booth space. If reservation is made on or after the Balance Due date, the total amount due must be made at that time to secure booth space. Any and all returned checks will be assessed a $15 charge the first time they are returned and a $20 charge if returned a second time. If the balance is paid more than one week past the due date, a $15 late charge will be added to the total amount due, unless payment arrangements are made.
BOOTH SPACE: Each booth is supplied with a 6’ draped table, two chairs and a company table top sign. Extra tables and chairs may be ordered through one of the exhibiting rental companies. Backdrops and siderails are NOT provided, except in certain circumstances. Table drapes are white or Black. The host venue has the right to relocate your space without any notice. All items not a part of the display must be kept out of sight during the show.

ATTACHING SIGNS or anything else in any way to trees, posts, walls, seating areas, columns or any other piece of mall property is strictly prohibited. SPRAY PAINT and BUBBLE MACHINES are strictly prohibited. Nothing over 10 pounds should be placed on gray tiles. If any part of this rule (no tape, attaching signs, spray paint, bubble machines) is violated, the exhibitor will be billed $100.00 (one hundred dollars) per square foot for any repairs needed, with a minimum cost of $150 (one hundred fifty dollars).

LITERATURE, BUSINESS CARDS AND ANY OTHER MATERIAL HANDED OUT AT YOUR BOOTH must not include the name, phone number, address nor any other vital information about any other company besides that represented by your booth, unless that company is exhibiting in the show. The only exception are exhibiting magazines and newspapers. Any literature that represents a company not in the show will be discarded by show management. If the literature continues to be handed out, exhibitor will pay an additional fee equal to the cost of booth space. In addition, said company may be restricted from exhibiting in future MarNel Productions shows. NO LITERATURE may be handed out in any other part of the mall – outside the perimeters of your booth – unless it is by another participating company, at their booth, in the show.

INSURANCE: Exhibitor is solely responsible for any and all occurrences inside his or her booth. You are required to carry liability insurance and provide MarNel Productions with a Certificate of Liability Insurance or Proof of Coverage in order to exhibit.
SHOW HOURS: Each booth must be staffed all show hours. Although security is provided during the show, MarNel Productions nor Current Venue is liable for items lost or stolen. All exhibits must be set up before the show opens each morning and must stay intact during show hours. Show management reserves the right to pull tables out of any booth not set up by 10:30 a.m. day of the show. Show hours will be confirmed prior the show.
All booths must stay assembled until closing the last day of the show.

Also, said exhibitor may be barred from participating in future MarNel Productions events.

If you cancel one month or more prior to the event, all monies paid will be returned as a credit for the next Expo. You forfeit your first payment and any monies paid if you cancel within the month before the Expo. If you cancel within one month before the Expo, and if MarNel Productions cannot resell your booth space, you will be charged the full amount of the booth. If you cancel within a week of the event, or if you do not cancel and do not exhibit, all monies paid are forfeited and, if the booth is not paid in full at that time, you will be charged the full amount of the booth. There are no refunds if exhibitor cancels after signing the agreement.

If you give, sell or loan the list to anyone not an exhibitor in the Expo, you and that company are liable for a fine of $1,000 (one thousand dollars) per occurence (per listed name), per use.
