(a) Designated Carrier. All exhibitors must use FedEx for inbound/outbound shipping to/from the tradeshow venue. Outpost Tradeshow has arranged for guaranteed on-site delivery and pickup with FedEx. Use of FedEx for return shipping is a condition of participation and ensures your packages will be collected before the venue must be vacated.
(b) No Guarantee for Other Carriers. Exhibitors who choose to ship via any carrier other than FedEx (including UPS, USPS, DHL, or other freight/courier services) do so at their own risk. Outpost Tradeshow cannot guarantee delivery, pickup, scheduling, or carrier presence at the venue for any non-FedEx shipments, and will not intervene on an exhibitor's behalf to arrange such delivery or pickup.
(c) Packaging and Labeling Deadline. All return packages must be properly packaged, labeled with a valid FedEx shipping label, and staged in the designated shipping area no later than 7pm on the final day of the show to ensure pickup before the venue is vacated.
(d) Abandoned Packages. Any packages, materials, or equipment remaining at the venue after 2:00 PM on the day following the close of the show — regardless of carrier or reason for delay — will be treated as abandoned property. Outpost Tradeshow reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to dispose of, discard, or donate any such items without further notice to the exhibitor.
(e) Limitation of Liability. Outpost Tradeshow assumes no responsibility or liability for any packages, goods, or materials remaining at the venue after 2:00 PM on the day following the close of the show, including but not limited to loss, theft, damage, or disposal of such items. By exhibiting at the show, exhibitors agree to release and hold harmless Outpost Tradeshow, its staff, and the venue from any claims arising from packages left on-site past this deadline.
