Limits of Liability and Responsibility

1. All materials shipped by exhibitors should be insured by Exhibitor. Event Productions, Inc. is not an insurer. It is agreed that the limits of our liability are to the specific article that was physically lost or damages. In all instances, our maximum limit of liability will be $0.30 per pound per article. It is understood that these limits are unrelated to the value of the shipments.

2. Claims of loss or damage must be submitted to Event Productions, Inc. by the close of the show. No suit or action shall be brought against Event Productions, Inc. more than one year after the show.

3. In order to expedite removal of materials from the show site, Event Productions, Inc. shall have the authority to change designated carriers if such carriers do not pick up on time. Where no deposition is made by the Exhibitor, (see Freight Questionnaire #6) materials will be re-routed at Event Productions, Inc. discretion, and the Exhibitor agrees to be responsible for payment of charges relating to such re-routing. Event Production, Inc. assumes no liability as a result of such re-routing.

4. Event Productions, Inc. shall not be held liable for any damage incurred during the handling of equipment requiring special devices to properly load, place or reload unless advance written notice has been given to Event Productions, Inc. 30 days prior to show.

5. Empty container labels will be available at the Event Productions, Inc. service desk. Placing these labels on Exhibitor crates is the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor or its representative. It is understood that these labels are used for EMPTY STORAGE ONLY, and Event Productions, Inc. assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to contents while containers are in storage or for mislabeled containers.

6. Event Productions, Inc. shall not be responsible for regular wear and tear in handling of equipment, or for loss or damage due to fire, theft, water, vandalism or other causes beyond our control.

7. The Exhibitor agrees, in the event of a dispute with Event Productions, Inc. relative to any loss or damage to material or equipment, that the Exhibitor will not withhold payment in any amount to Event Productions, Inc. for material handling or any other services provided by Event Productions, Inc. as an offset against the amount of the alleged loss or damage. Instead, the Exhibitor agrees to pay Event Productions, Inc. prior to the close of the show the full amount due and further agrees that any claim the Exhibitor may have against Event Productions, Inc. shall be pursued independently by the Exhibitor as a completely separate transaction to be resolved on its own merits.

8. Event Productions, Inc. will not be responsible for loss, delay or damage due to strikes, lockouts or work stoppages of any kind.

9. The Exhibitor agrees, in connection with the receipt, handling, temporary storage and reloading of its materials, that Event Productions, Inc. will provide these services as the Exhibitor’s agent and not as bailee or shipper. If any employee of Event Productions, Inc. signs a delivery receipt, bill of lading or other document, we agree that Event Productions, Inc. will do so as the Exhibitor’s agent, and the Exhibitor accepts the responsibility thereof.

10. In regards to inbound shipments, there may be a lapse of time between the delivery of the shipment(s) to the booth by Event Productions, Inc. and the arrival of the Exhibitor’s representative at the booth. Similarly, relative to outgoing shipment(s), it is possible that there may be a lapse of time between the completion of packing and actual pick-up of materials from the booth for loading onto a carrier. It is understood that during such time the shipment(s) will be left in the booth unattended.

11. It is agreed that Event Productions, Inc. is not responsible for the loss or disappearance of Exhibitor’s materials after the same have been delivered to Exhibitor’s booth, and Event Productions, Inc. is not responsible for Exhibitor’s materials before they are picked up from the Exhibitor’s booth for loading after the show. All bills of lading covering outgoing shipment(s) submitted to Event Productions, Inc. by the Exhibitor will be checked at the time of pick-up from the booth and corrected if discrepancies do exist.
