Postponement or Abandonment CIH may at any time and without prior notification, change the structure or any related aspect of an event. Exhibitors shall not have any claim against CIH in respect of any loss or damage whatsoever consequent upon the Exhibitor failing to be held for any reason outside of CIH s control, or the conference venue being or becoming wholly or partially unavailable for the holding of the event for whatever reason. Exhibition Space not occupied If an Exhibitor fails to occupy the space allotted to him before the event opening, this will be deemed to be a cancellation. The cancellation charges outlined in the booking will be payable by the Exhibitor and CIH may re-sell or re-allocate for its own benefit. Where non-occupation is due to circumstances beyond the control of the exhibitor or Force Majeure, CIH reserves the right to waive the cancellation charge within its sole discretion. Stand Fittings Regulations The Exhibitors and its contractors may not interfere with the exhibition in any way whatsoever, and any damage caused by their acts of negligence shall require them to indemnify CIH and its contractors against any claim arising from such damage. Access and Stand Displays The Sponsor/Exhibitor must ensure that its stand is ready before the opening of the exhibition each day. Stands must be fully staffed and stocked at all times. The Sponsor/Exhibitor must comply with build up, breakdown and delivery times, as set out in the Sponsor/Exhibitor manual. Late build up and early breakdown creates problems in exhibition halls, contravenes health and safety regulations and is discourteous to other Sponsor/Exhibitors. If late setup is unavoidable, a suitable time slot will be allocated by CIH at its discretion. Exhibits are not to be removed until the exhibition is closed, and any Sponsor/Exhibitors closing the stand before that time without the permission of CIH will be liable for an early closing fee of 25% of the total invoice amount. The Sponsor/Exhibitor must vacate its stand, and ensure that all exhibit items are removed from the premises, within the time specified for exhibition breakdown. 9
