            It is agreed that:
             
            GENERAL TERMS

            6.     In addition to Tour entry fees, there is a refundable deposit due with the Tour of Homes entry.  The deposit shall be $250 for builders who did not have their deposit forfeited following the prior year’s Tour of Homes due to non-completion of the home or other failure to comply with the Tour of Homes Participation Agreement, and $1000 for builders whose deposit was forfeited following the prior year’s Tour of Homes due to non-completion or other failure to comply with the Terms of the Tour of Homes Participation Agreement.  The deposit is to ensure the completion of the home and compliance with other terms of this agreement and shall be returned after the completion of the Tour if all provisions of this Participation Agreement are met.  
             
            If a builder enters additional houses in the Tour, an additional deposit for the 2nd and/or 3rd house will not be required.

            14.  All determination of whether homes are deemed complete and provisions of this Participation Agreement have been met shall be made by the Tour of Homes committee.
             
            15.  If the builder cannot complete the home for any reason and notifies the HBA by noon on the Thursday before the Tour opens, the Tour deposit will not be forfeited as long as the builder does not open the home to the public until evidence has been provided to the HBA demonstrating that the home has been completed.
             
            16.  If a home is incomplete as of 12:00 noon on Saturday, July 10th, and the builder has not notified the HBA prior to noon on the prior Thursday, the Tour of Homes Committee may impose penalties including forfeiture of the builder’s deposit, and/or suspending the builder from participation in future Tour of Homes.
             
            17.  For any incomplete homes, the HBA reserves the right to display a sign in the front yard that indicates the home is not open and available for public showing.  No other Tour of Homes signage, including directional signage, may be displayed in conjunction with an incomplete home.

Tour Homes that have a garage rented must have the garage door open during Tour hours.  Builders shall have the right to rent their own garage for $250 if they wish to display their own materials or if they wish to keep the garage vacant.  If a vendor display is set up in the Tour home garage without having been reserved through the association, the Association shall deduct a $250 fee from the builder’s Tour deposit.  In no case shall a nonmember of the Association be permitted to display in the garage.
             
            24.  The Association reserves the right to sell advertising space on the Builder’s Tour page to the Builder’s real estate agent.

            26.  The Association will be responsible for all advertising and promotion. However, Builders are encouraged to recognize their HBA member subs and suppliers with handouts or interior signs.  The Association shall have the right to include promotional information from the Tour’s sponsors in Tour homes.
             
            27.  Logos on the Builder’s Tour magazine page are limited to the Builder’s company logo only, along with any other logos placed by the Association. 
             
            28.  Any advertising, promotion and/or displays inside the house shall be limited to Association members only.
             
            29.  The only sign(s) displayed in the front yard or driveway during the Tour shall be the official Tour of Homes sign and/or other signage supplied by the Association.

            The liability insurance policies to be obtained by the Builder, as provided in this Agreement, shall provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the Association and/or Builder in connection with any damage covered by such policies.

            If the policies of insurance referred to in this Agreement require endorsement(s) to provide for continued coverage where there is a waiver of subrogation, the owners of such policies will cause them to be so endorsed. 
             
            34.  Builder agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Association harmless against and from any and all participation in any activity, work or other things done, permitted or suffered by Builder in connection with the Tour of Homes arising from any act, breach of this contract, or negligence by Builder or any officer, agent, or employee of Builder, and/or any visitor in connection with the Tour of Homes, and from all costs, attorney fees and liabilities incurred in or about the defense of any such claim or action proceeding brought thereon.
