BRCE reserves the right to revise the time and location of the exhibition or to shorten the duration of the exhibition. Any change regarding the time and duration of the exhibition does not entitle the exhibitor to cancel the contract nor to request a fee reduction or to put forward a claim for damages incurred by these changes. Liability Insurance The Organiser provides third party insurance at the Congress site. Equipment and all related display materials installed by Exhibitors are not insured by BRCE and they will under no circumstances be liable for any loss, damage or destruction caused to equipment, goods or property belonging to exhibitors.

The BRCE reserves the right to close or obstruct unused entrances or exits to the exhibition room and the right to direct the Exhibitor to another space in the exhibition hall if necessary even if this directive conflicts with previous written agreements. The BRCE also reserves the right to rent floor space of a booth not finished on time to another applicant. In such a case, the Exhibitor is responsible for all costs arising from the cancellation. Maintenance of booths and exhibition area Exhibitors are responsible for the proper care of the floors, walls, staircases and storage rooms as well as the hired booths and furnishings. Hired booths and furnishings must be returned in an acceptable condition and in an orderly way. To avoid scratches and furrows on floors as the result of sliding heavy packing cases, exhibitors are required to use protective coverings. Exhibitors and their shipping agents, on specific orders from the exhibitor, must take special care when transporting heavy packing cases and heavy loads. Exhibitors who wish to display extra heavy exhibits demanding special supports or foundations must request prior permission specifically in this matter from the BRCE. It is not permitted to drive nails or hooks into the walls of the exhibition hall, to install electric wiring or to cut or drill holes in the walls of the rented booths. Empty containers and packing materials must be disposed of at the Exhibitor's expense before the start of the exhibition. No part of an exhibition booth may be suspended from the ceiling. No part of an exhibit or of the booth's structure may protrude beyond the allotted area on any side. No signboards may protrude beyond the booth's walls.

Items for which the Exhibitor has made no arrangements regarding removal and storage at his/her cost and which are left behind become the property of the BRCE, and no reimbursement will be made for such items. The BRCE can demand that Exhibitors restore the exhibition area to the original condition at the Exhibitor's expense. If the Exhibitor does not dismantle and clear away their exhibit in a timely manner, these items will be removed by the BRCE at the Exhibitor's cost. The Exhibitor is liable for the actual cost 18
incurred by the BRCE for such removals of abandoned exhibits. Rented items, which were originally accepted as satisfactory for rental by the exhibitor, are to be returned undamaged and in a satisfactory condition. All rented items are considered to be in satisfactory condition unless a written notation signed by the BRCE is made at the time of rental. Exhibitors must bear the costs of repairs to damaged exhibition areas and of repairs of or necessary cleaning of rented items. Payments - breach of contract: The dimensions of floor space, booth measurements and rented items given are approximate. The BRCE reserves the right to change these dimensions in order to most efficiently use the available exhibition area and to adjust the booths to the blueprints of the exhibition halls. Prices charged are however based on the actual dimensions; if more floor space is later allotted and actually used than was originally ordered, the additional fee for it is to be paid immediately. Special requests regarding placement of the booths will be considered. However, such requests do not constitute a condition of registration on the part of the Exhibitor. Furthermore, the BRCE reserves the right to reduce the amount of floor space initially requested. Failure to comply with local authorities and international regulations may not be used as a ground to declare the contract void. Failure to comply with the Rules and Regulations will not expose the BRCE to any suits or demands by the Exhibitor and/or any third party. Exhibitors must bear the cost of any special installations. In case of delayed payment, ten per cent (10%) interest per annum is charged. If a company wishes to renounce all claims to taking part in an exhibition after having contracted to do so, the company is nevertheless liable for the rental sum and for incidental expenses. In case of cancellation of the exhibition, the BRCE will return the part payments received less the sum equivalent to the costs that have arisen for the BRCE up to the time of cancellation; the registration fee will not be returned. 19
