ABCA 2021 Virtual Convention Rules and Regulations

In submitting this application and contract, the Exhibitor agrees to comply with all rules, restrictions and directives issued by ABCA in connection with ABCA’s Virtual Convention. This includes, but is not limited to, information contained in the Exhibitor Prospectus, Exhibitor Application and Contract, confirmation materials, and the Rules and Regulations outlined below.

1. Application and Contract for Exhibit Space: This contract is for a virtual exhibit, the formal confirmation by ABCA and/or its agents and Corcoran Expositions, Inc. acting as Management of the Exposition, referred to hereafter as “ABCA,” and payment in full of charges for the virtual exhibit constitute a contract for the right to use the same.
    
2. Eligibility to Exhibit: ABCA reserves the right to exercise its sole discretion in acceptance or refusal of applications. Show Management reserves the right to make the final determination in the best interests of the event and may refuse exhibit opportunities to any exhibitor for any reason.
    
3. Virtual Exhibitor Etiquette: Company sales representatives agree to act professionally in the virtual environment, the same way they would act at an in-person event. Examples of unprofessional behavior may include contacting attendees aggressively or too often, or attempting to conduct business or make sales presentations in public areas outside of the booth (for instance in a discussion forum, public video chat, or educational session). The ABCA reserves the right to deactivate the accounts of any sales professionals that the ABCA deems to be compromising the integrity or intent of any aspects of the Virtual Convention at any time.
    
4. Non-endorsement: ABCA does not endorse any programs, products or services and no endorsement of Exhibitor’s programs, products or services should be inferred. The views expressed in Exhibitor materials do not necessarily reflect the positions of ABCA.
    
5. Terms of Payment: Full payment is required upon receipt of receiving invoice. All invoices must be paid prior to November 1, 2020, to participate in the Virtual Convention.
    
6. Cancellation of Space: No refunds will be provided for virtual booths. Any request to change exhibit opportunities must be made in writing to Show Management at kyle@corcexpo.com.
    
7. Rollover Funds: If you have rollover funds for ABCA 2022 exhibit space and/or sponsorship activation and your team does not reserve space before April 30, 2021, your full ABCA 2022 credited amount will be awarded to ABCA.
    
8. Force Majeure: In the event of any circumstances beyond the control of ABCA, including, but not limited to; acts of God, floods, fires, natural disaster, war, strike, or terrorism, or threat of war, strike, or terrorism, that render the holding of the Expo in the good faith opinion of ABCA to be impractical, impossible, or inadvisable, ABCA may, in its sole discretion, cancel the Virtual Convention and shall have no obligation to Exhibitor other than the return of the unused prorated portion of the booth rental fee. Exhibitor releases ABCA from any and all claims for damages, which may arise in consequence thereof.
    
9. Amendments: Any and all matters and questions not specifically covered by the preceding Rules and Regulations shall be subject to the decision of ABCA. These Rules and Regulations shall be binding on Exhibitors equally with the foregoing conditions. Exhibitors shall be notified in writing of any amendments to these.
    
10. Indemnification and Insurance: Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other, its agents, and employees, from and against all claims, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from acts, omissions, or breach of this Agreement by the party or its agents or employees. The parties shall each maintain appropriate and sufficient insurance to cover their obligations under this Agreement.
