By submitting this form you are agreeing to the following contract stipulations:
Conducting Exhibits
Vendor exhibits must be manned at all times during dedicated exhibit hours. Interviews, distribution of literature, samples, and details should take place inside booths to avoid infringement of the rights and privileges of other vendors. Exhibitors must stay until the end of exhibit hours for all days that they are registered. Packing up and leaving early disrupts the flow and integrity of the entire room. Therefore, all credit card information will be kept on file, and $500 will be charged to any exhibitor that packs up and leaves early without the consent of an ACOEP representative.
Refund Policy
No refunds will be made for cancellations received after July 31, 2023. No refunds will be made if space is not used. Nor will any refund be made on space used only for a portion of the exhibit schedule. The original contracting exhibitor shall be liable for the full amount of the booth rental whether the booth is resold or not. Subletting of space will not be permitted. A $50.00 service fee will be charged on refunds requested, in writing, prior to July 31st.
Liability Insurance
Vendors agree to protect and keep harmless the American College of Osteopathic Emergency Physicians, the Washington Hilton and its agents and employees for any damages to the premises, fittings, equipment, and furnishings of the facilities occasioned by or in connection with the use of the premises by vendor during the time the premises are used or occupied under this agreement, and against any claims of any and all persons for injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by or in connection with the use of the premises by vendor.
Security and Insurance
AOEP cannot guarantee against loss or damage of any kind. Vendors wishing to insure their exhibit materials, good/wares on exhibit against theft, damage by fire, accident or loss of any kind must do so at their own expense.
Protection of the Building
Exhibitors will be held liable for any damage caused to the property, and no materials or matter of any kind shall be posted on, tacked on, nailed, screwed or otherwise attached to columns, walls, floors, or any other parts of the building and furnishings. Whatever may be necessary to properly protect the building, equipment or furniture will be installed at the expense of the exhibitor.
Interpretations and Violations
Any points not covered above or elsewhere are subject to settlement by the management. Any violations of these rules and regulations by any Vendor will void the agreement for booth space, and such vendor will forfeit all monies which have been paid. The Vendor Coordinator shall have the right to terminate the agreement for booth space and to re-enter and take possession of the space at the expense of the vendor. Written notice to terminate the agreement for booth space and re-entry is not required.
