All property of an exhibitor is understood to remain in its care, custody and control in transit to or from or within the confines of the exhibit room.

The organiser reserves the right, should any rented exhibitor's space remain unoccupied on the opening day, or should any space be forfeited due to failure to make proper payment, to rent said space to any other exhibitor, or use said space in any other manner the organiser feels necessary. This clause shall not be construed as affecting the obligation of the exhibitor to pay the full amount, specified in his contract for space rental should the organiser not resell the space. When space application is accepted and space is assigned, the exhibitor is liable for full payment.

In case the exhibition is damaged or destroyed by fire, the elements or by any other cause, or if circumstances shall make it impossible for the organiser to permit an exhibitor or exhibitors to occupy the space assigned during any part or the whole of the period covered, then during such circumstances Clarion Events and the Hotel will not be liable for the fulfilment of this contract as to the delivery of space and the exhibitor will be reimbursed a proportionate share of the space rental.

Payment should be received prior to the event.
