Exhibitor Contract Rules and Regulations A. SPACE RENTAL 1. Contract for Space. Application for exhibit space releases the Association for Public Health Laboratories (APHL) and the Rhode Island Convention Center from any and all liabilities to applicant, its agents, licensees, or employees that may arise as a result of submission of an application or participation in this exhibition. APHL determines the eligibility of any company or product for exhibit. Acceptance of an application does not imply endorsement by APHL of the applicant’s products or services, nor does rejection imply lack of merit of same. 2. Refunds. No refund may be made for space that is unused at any time during the exhibition. If space is unused at the opening of the exhibition, APHL may rent or use it without obligation or refund. B. CANCELLATION OF EXHIBITOR CONTRACT 1. Cancellation Policy. Cancellations refer to the full booth fee only. All cancellations must be submitted in writing. Assignments not rejected by the exhibitor within 14 days of notification of space assignment will be considered accepted by the exhibitor and may, thereafter, be rejected or the contract canceled only with the approval of the Exhibit Manager. A written cancellation received on or before April 1, 2017 will be refunded minus the deposit. There will be no refunds after this date. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON DEPOSITS. C. CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION AND USE OF EXHIBITS 1. Arrangements of Exhibits. The space provided will be shown on the floor plan insofar as possible but APHL reserves the right to make changes at any time in the locations, size, and display limits of any booth if this is in the best interests of the show. 2. Use and Purpose of Exhibit Space. The purpose of the exhibits is to inform and educate attendees regarding products and services of the exhibitors. 3. Restrictions. In its exhibit area, APHL endeavors to arrange for a representative group of displays that will provide crosssectional appeal to the varied interests of all segments of its membership. Accordingly, it is understood and agreed that APHL reserves the right to make such selections from the applications received that will, in its judgment, most effectively contribute to the achievement of the foregoing objective. Distribution of souvenirs and samples is permitted from the assigned booth space provided there is no interference with other exhibits. APHL may withdraw permission if they find the material objectionable under the criteria established above. 4. Construction of Exhibits. Exhibitors using low siderails must coordinate plans with neighboring exhibits. No materials may be posted, nailed, or otherwise affixed to walls, doors, or other surfaces in a way that might deface the premises or booth equipment

and furniture. Any damage is payable by the exhibitor. 5. Decoration of the Exhibit. A service kit will be provided at least 6–8 weeks before the Conference, which will include information on labor, drayage of furniture, carpeting, lighting, telephones, and electricity. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to abide by the regulations and deadlines contained therein. All shipments to the conference should be marked with your name, company name, booth number, address, phone number, 2017 APHL Annual Meeting and be shipped to the address provided with the service kit. 6. Installation and Dismantling of Exhibits. Information on set-up and dismantling of exhibits will be forwarded with confirmation. No one will be allowed in the hall after these designated hours.

All decorations and booth equipment must be fireproofed to meet the requirements of the City of Providence Fire Marshall. Combustible materials shall not be stored in or around exhibit booths. All electrical equipment or apparatus and wiring must conform to the City of Providence Fire Marshall electrical code. 8. Union Labor. Exhibitors are required to observe all union contracts in effect between APHL, the official contractors, Rhode Island Convention Center and various labor organizations in accordance with City of Providence union regulations. 9. Selling Restrictions. Selling on the exhibit floor involving the exchange of cash or contracts is strictly prohibited. D. LIABILITY 1. Security. APHL will provide guard service and will take reasonable precautions to safeguard exhibitor’s property. However, the provision of this service shall not be construed as an assumption of obligations or duty with respect to the protections of the exhibitor’s property. Exhibitor shall not hold APHL liable for any loss, damage, theft or destruction of exhibitor’s property, and further, exhibitor shall indemnify APHL and the Rhode Island Convention Center against, and hold them harmless resulting from, the negligence of the exhibitor in connection with the exhibitor’s use of space. 2. Inability to Perform. Should any contingency prevent holding of the Conference of Exhibition, the APHL shall not be held liable for any expenses incurred by the exhibitor. 3. Interpretation and Arbitration. These regulations are incorporated as part of the agreement between the exhibitor and the Association of Public Health Laboratories

(APHL). APHL has full power of interpretation and enforcement of these rules and may amend them at any time. All matters in question not covered by these regulations are subject to the decision of APHL and shall be binding on all parties affected by them. Exhibitors or their representatives, who fail to observe these conditions, or conduct themselves unethically, may be dismissed without refund or other appeal. The parties agree that in the event of any claim or dispute concerning questions of fact or law arising out of or relating to this contract, its performance or alleged breach shall be submitted to the arbitration of two disinterested and competent persons, mutually chosen, who shall select a third, whose award, pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, shall be conclusive and binding on both parties.
