Exhibitor Basic Terms and Conditions

Display space will be assigned by the Conference in accordance with the conditions outlined in the DISPLAY SPACE ASSIGNMENT which forms part of this agreement. In the event of a duplicate application for the same space, the assignment priorities stated in the EXHIBIT RULES shall apply.

The Exhibitor shall remit as a deposit with this application 50% of the total booth rental as determined elsewhere in this form.

The balance of the total booth rental shall fall due, and shall be payable no later than January 8, 1998 , in default of which ICASSP-99 shall consider this agreement null and void, and shall reassign the space; the deposit shall be retained as damages.

In the event of cancellation of this agreement by the Exhibitor prior to the date of the Conference, the Conference will assess a cancellation charge according to the following schedule:

Cancellation after January 8, 1999	100% of booth rental
Cancellation after October 9, 1998	50% of booth rental
Cancellation before October 9, 1998	25% of booth rental

The Conference reserves the right to reassign space, notwithstanding the cancellation fee.

In the event the Conference does not accept this agreement, the Exhibitor will be promptly notified and the deposit returned.

The Exhibitor agrees to accept from the Conference billing of any charges rendered during the Conference in conjunction with services performed or administered by the Conference and requested by the Exhibitor. These charges may include, but are not limited to, surcharges on services requested by the Exhibitor through the Conference.

All such are due and payable in full within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from the Conference.

The Exhibitor agrees that the Conference or its sponsor(s) shall not be liable for any damage, whether to person or property, for any reason whatsoever by any reason of use, occupation, or enjoyment of the space by the Exhibitor or any person therein with the consent of the Exhibitor, and that the Exhibitor shall identify and keep harmless the Conference and its sponsor(s) from all liability on account of such damage or injury, regardless of cause, by the Exhibitor, its representatives, agents, or contractors.

In the event the site of the conference shall, in the sole discretion of the Conference, be unfit for occupancy or substantially interfered with by reason of any cause(s) not within the control of the Conference, this agreement may be terminated by the Conference. \"Cause\" or \"causes\" may include, but shall not be limited to: fire, flood, epidemic, earthquake, explosion, accident, blockage, embargo, weather, governmental restraint or orders of restraint from local or national civil or military authorities, act of public enemy, riot or civil disturbance, inability to secure appropriate labor, impairment of transportation or facilities, or inability to obtain, for whatever reason necessary supplies, equipment, or clearances, or by rule of federal or local law, or any circumstances deemed as act of God.

Should the Conference terminate this agreement pursuant to the provisions of this section, the Exhibitor waives any and all claims for damages arising therefrom. The Exhibitor further agrees that the Conference liability is limited to a refund of monies paid in prior to the termination. Should the conference by underway, the Exhibitor shall expect the conference to adjust the refund to reflect a pro rata adjustment based on the number of hours the Conference shall have been in operation prior to the termination.

This provision shall not relieve the Exhibitor of any liability arising from the provision of section 6 above, and all monies due to the Conference in the regard shall be paid notwithstanding.
