Exhibitor Order Agreement

APSA EXPO 2015

ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE AND PAYMENT

All exhibit space, with the exception of the island displays, will be  allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Confirmation of space will be sent immediately upon receipt of signed contract and full payment. APSA reserves the right to reassign booth space if need be. 

A 50% deposit is required to reserve any booth space.  Remaining balances will be due January 31, 2015 for those reserved in 2014. All booths purchased in 2015 are due upon receipt. 

Exhibit space must be occupied solely by your organization in exhibiting your products at the APSA 44th Annual Conference and Exposition. No exhibitor shall assign, sublet, or share the whole, or any part of, the space contracted without prior written consent of APSA.

BOOTH SPECIFICATIONS

The standard booth size is 10’ x 10’ (approximately 3.05m x 3.05m). Except for custom-size or island displays, the booth price in this agreement provides for installation, maintenance and removal of standard framing materials. The materials include a quality fabric, 8’ high backdrop; 42” high side divider rails; and an expertly lettered 7” x 44” exhibitor sign for each space

Floor covering, although not included, is required at the expense of the exhibitor.

No 'End Cap' booths will be permitted.

EXHIBITOR NAME BADGES

We request that all badges be ordered via our website at www.publicsafetyaviation.org. If web access is unavailable, please contact the APSA office at 301-631-2406 or bosborne@PublicSafetyAviation.org.

The exhibitor badge entitles the wearer access to the exhibit floor only and exhibitor badges are issued only to personnel actually staffing the booth. The name of the exhibiting company, as it has been listed on the exhibit space contract, will appear on each badge. Three exhibitor badges will be provided for each 10’ x 10’ area of display space  contracted, to a maximum of 30 badges. Additional badges are available at $25 each.

LIABILITY, INSURANCE & HOLD HARMLESS

In consideration for the opportunity to display services and products at an APSA Conference and Exposition, Exhibitor, its officers, directors, agents and insurers, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless APSA, its officers, directors, contractors, employees and agents and the convention facility, its governmental entity, agents and employees, from any loss, injury, suit, action or cause of action, or claim whatsoever resulting from any incident, accident, fire, theft or any claim or loss to any person claiming loss or injury, including any loss or damage to property of Exhibitor, its employees, agent or subcontractors, loss or injury to any manufacturer's demonstration participants, their employees, agents, guests and general public.

Further, any claim of damage to the property of the convention facility resulting in the immediate assessment of damages against APSA from any act or omission of Exhibitor, its agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors, shall be immediately paid or assumed by Exhibitor.

INSURANCE REQUIRMENTS

As a standard requirement for all of our show exhibitors, it is necessary for you to carry commercial general liability coverage from an A-Beat rated insurance company in good standing with minimum policy limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Said commercial general liability insurance must be in force during the exhibition dates of the event, July 13–18, 2015. The Certificate of Insurance must also list as additionally insured:

ADDITIONAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR DISPLAYING AIRCRAFT

All aircraft exhibited in the Convention Center for APSA EXPO 2015, whether flown or trucked in, must be properly insured. Any commercial exhibitor that brings an owned, leased or borrowed aircraft to be displayed in the Convention Center, including the use of aircraft belonging to a governmental agency, agrees to name APSA, Inc., its agents, officers, directors and employees and exhibition convention center, its owners, management company, officers, directors and employees as an 'additional insured' on the exhibitors policy of insurance covering the operation of the aircraft. In addition, Exhibitor acknowledges that APSA does not maintain any insurance to cover loss or damage to any property of Exhibitor. Furthermore, it is requested that all exhibiting companies carry personal property insurance, including workers' compensation, if applicable.

1. Proof of insurance must be in the form of a “Certificate of Insurance” that identifies all aircraft, individually by serial number, stating the make, model, registration number, and owner of the aircraft. If the aircraft is owned/operated by someone other than the exhibitor, the documentation should so state and proof of insurance shall name both as insured or additionally insured. Without proof of insurance, the aircraft will not be permitted to land at or move into the Convention Center. This insurance must be in force during the lease dates of the event, July 13–18, 2015.

RESTRICTIONS

APSA reserves the right to determine the eligibility of a company or their product for inclusion in the exhibits, and reserves the right to  restrict exhibits that, because of noise, method of operation, materials or for any other reason, become objectionable to APSA. APSA also reserves the right to prohibit any exhibit that, in the opinion of APSA 
management, may detract from the general character of the exhibit show as a whole. In such event, APSA shall not be liable to any exhibitor for any refund of exhibit fee or expenses incurred by exhibitor to exhibit.

No signs will be affixed by any means to the walls, doors or any other surface in the exhibit area or seminar facility. 

Subsidiaries that share a parent company are permitted to share exhibit space under the following conditions:

1. If subsidiaries are sharing a 10 x 10 booth, the booth itself, all materials, advertisements, sponsorships, etc., will be listed under the name of the company that reserves and pays for the booth, unless otherwise instructed by the exhibiting company(ies).  To receive the member price, the purchasing company must be an APSA Corporate Member or the space will be charged at the non-member rate.
2. If subsidiaries wish to have multiple company names associated with a shared booth (the booth itself, all materials, advertisements, sponsorships, etc.), the amount of booth space purchased must be, at a minimum, equivalent to a 10 x 10 booth space per company.  To receive the member price, all subsidiaries sharing booth space must be APSA Corporate Members or the space will be charged at the non-member rate.
