RULES AND REGULATIONS National Association of Black Journalists hereinafter referred to as NABJ is the sponsor of the 37th Annual Convention & Career Far. 1.) PAYMENT. Contract will not be processed or space assigned without the required payment. 2.) CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT. Exhibitors may cancel their exhibit space, by sending a written notice of cancellation by May 15, 2012. Additionally, NABJ will charge a $200 cancellation fee, even if the canceled space is subsequently resold. Complimentary registration passes will be invalid. 3.) COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS. If an exhibitor fails to abide by the regulations of the convention as set forth, then the contract between NABJ and the exhibitor will be terminated. The exposition regulations constitute a portion of the contract between NABJ and the exhibitor. Therefore, any failure on the part of the exhibitor to comply with the regulations represents a default on, and termination of the contract. Should the contract be terminated in this manner, the exhibitor shall forfeit the amount paid for space rental, regardless of whether or not NABJ enters into a further lease of the space involved. Interpretation and application of the regulations are within the sole discretion of NABJ and decisions of NABJ are nal. 4.) MAINTENANCE OF EXHIBITOR SENIORITY. Participation in the 2012 show is considered to be exclusive of any other NABJ related events and therefore will not affect seniority status for other events. 5.) ELIGIBLE EXHIBITS. NABJ reserves the right to determine eligibility of any company or product to participate in the exposition. NABJ can refuse rental of exhibit space to any company whose display of goods or services is not, in the opinion of NABJ, compatible with the educational charter and objectives of the exposition or is otherwise inappropriate. 6.) ALLOCATION OF SPACE. Whenever possible, space assignments will be made by NABJ in keeping with the preference specied by the exhibitor. NABJ, however, reserves the right to make the nal determination of all space assignments in the best interest of the exposition. 7.) SUBLETTING OF EXHIBIT SPACE. Exhibitors may not assign, sublet or share their exhibit space with another business or rm unless approval has been obtained in writing from NABJ. Exhibitors must show goods manufactured or dealt in by them in the regular course of business. Should an article of a non-exhibiting rm be required for operation or demonstration in an exhibitors display, identication of such article shall be limited to the usual and regular nameplates, imprint or trademark under which same is sold in the general course of business. 8.) LIABILITY. NABJ, its members, the representatives and employees thereof will not be responsible for any injury, loss or damage that may occur to the exhibitor, exhibitors employees, agents, contractors or property from any cause whatsoever, or which may be sustained by any person who may be on the premises leased to the exhibitor or watching, observing or participating in any demonstration or exhibit of the exhibitor, unless such injury, loss or damage is caused by the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of NABJ. Exhibitor and exhibitors contractors and its insurers will not subrogate against NABJ for theft of, loss of or damage to exhibitors or exhibitors contractors property while in transit to, within, and in transit from the connes of the hall. The exhibitor and exhibitors contractors shall defend, indemnify and hold NABJ, its ofcers, members, agents and employees, harmless against any and all claims, lawsuits, judgments, costs, and expenses (including attorneys fees) for injury (including death), property damage or other harm for which recovery of damage is sought that may arise out of or be occasioned by exhibitors performance of the contract, breach of any of the terms or provisions of the contract, or by any other act or omission of exhibitor, its ofcers, agents, employees, or subcontractors, in the performance of this contract; except that the indemnity provided for in this paragraph shall not apply to any liability resulting from the sole gross negligence of NABJ, itsofcers, members, agents or employees. 9.) INSURANCE. The exhibitor and exhibitors contractors shall, at their sole cost and expense, procure and maintain through the term of this contract the following insurance: a. Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for bodily injury or death, property damage as well as personal and advertising injury occurring in or upon or resulting from the premises leased. Such insurance shall include contractual liability and products liability coverage, with combined single limits of liability of not less than combined total of $1,000,000 per occurrence. b. Workers Compensation insurance as required by statutory law and Employers Liability with limits not less than: Bodily injury by accident $100,000 each accident Bodily injury by disease $100,000 each employee Bodily injury by disease $500,000 policy limit c. Commercial Auto Liability Insurance-limits of liability not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit. Coverage for all required lines must be placed through a licensed carrier authorized to conduct business in the State in which the convention is being held. All carriers providing coverage must have an A.M. Best Rating of not less than A-, VII. Exhibitor shall obtain and furnish to NABJ upon request a certicate of insurance evidencing the required coverage to NABJ and its agents, employees, assigns and successors as additional insureds to such coverage to be stated as primary without contribution from any other source. If the exhibitor uses a nonofcial contractor, it too must comply with the above coverage provisions. All property of the exhibitor and the exhibitors contractors is understood to remain under its custody and control in transit to, within, and in transit from the connes of the hall. 10.) DISABILITY PROVISIONS. Exhibitor shall have sole responsibility for ensuring that their exhibit is in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and any regulations implemented by that Act. 11.) DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
