MATERIAL HANDLING TERMS & CONDITIONS: ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS: It is understood that acceptance of the following terms and conditions will be construed when any of the following conditions are met: <ul> <li>The Shipping Information and/or Material Handling Rate Schedule is completed Online; or</li> <li>Exhibitors' materials are delivered to either the Arata Expositions, Inc. (hereafter referred to as “AEI”) warehouse or show site for which AEI is the Official General Contractor for the event; or</li> <li>When an order for any rental equipment and/or labor is placed by the exhibitor with AEI</li> </ul> AEI’S RESPONSIBILITIES: The responsibility of AEI with respect to the goods stored hereunder shall be limited to the exercise of ordinary care and diligence by its officers and employees in receiving, handling, keeping, and delivering the same. For purposes of this contract, AEI means their employees, officers, directors, agents, assigns, affiliated companies, and related entities including, but not limited to, any subcontractors AEI may appoint. AEI shall not be liable for loss or damage by natural elements, fire, heat, frost, dampness, dust, moths, rust, leakage, deterioration, acts of God, vandalism, theft, civil disturbance, power failure, acts of terrorism, or war, labor disputes, lockouts or work stoppages of any kind nor for other causes beyond AEI’s reasonable control. AEI LIABILITY: It is understood that AEI and its subcontractors are not insurers. The exhibitor is responsible for obtaining the proper insurance to cover their property. AEI does not provide for full liability should loss or damage occur. AEI’s liability shall be limited to the physical loss or damage to the specific article, which is lost or damaged. In any case, the liability of AEI is limited to $.30 per pound per article, with a maximum of $50.00 per item and a maximum of $1,000 per shipment, whichever is less, as agreed upon damages and exclusive remedy. Provisions of this paragraph shall apply if loss or damage, regardless of cause or origin, results directly or indirectly to property through performance or nonperformance of obligations imposed by the offering of services to Exhibitors, or from negligence, active or otherwise, by AEI, its subcontractors or employees. This applies while these goods are in AEI’s warehouse, in vehicles for delivery, or at the show site. AEI shall not be liable to any extent whatsoever for any actual, potential, or assumed loss of profits or revenues or for any collateral costs that may result from any loss or damage to an exhibitor’s material that makes it impossible or impractical to exhibit the same. EXHIBITORS ARE URGED TO CARRY ALL-RISK INSURANCE COVERING THEIR MATERIALS AGAINST DAMAGE, LOSS, AND ALL OTHER HAZARDS FROM THE TIME SHIPMENTS ARE MADE PRIOR TO THE SHOW UNTIL SHIPMENTS ARE RECEIVED BACK AFTER THE SHOW. THIS CAN GENERALLY BE DONE BY ADDING “EXPOSITION FLOATERS” TO EXISTING INSURANCE POLICIES. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT AEI IS NOT AN INSURER. INSURANCE, IF ANY, SHALL BE OBTAINED BY THE EXHIBITOR, AND THE AMOUNTS PAYABLE BY AEI HEREUNDER ARE BASED ON THE VALUE OF THE MATERIAL HANDLING SERVICES AND THE SCOPE OF AEI LIABILITY AS SET FORTH ABOVE. PACKAGING: AEI shall not be responsible for damage to uncrated material, material improperly packed, concealed damage, pad-wrapped or shrink-wrapped materials, glass breakage, or carpet in bags or poly. Additionally, AEI shall not be responsible for crates and packaging that are unsuitable for handling, in poor condition, or have prior damage. Crates and packaging should be designed to adequately protect contents for handling by forklifts and similar means. INSURANCE CLAIMS: The exhibitor must report the damage or loss at the AEI service desk at the show site and complete AEI paperwork documenting the incident. Failure to complete the proper paperwork at the show site will result in the claim being waived. The exhibitor must submit any written claim for loss or damage within (30) days of the close of the show on which the loss or damage occurred or the claim shall be considered waived. No suit or action shall be brought against AEI more than one year after the cause of action accrues. INBOUND SHIPMENTS: After the exhibit materials are placed in the booth, AEI will not be responsible for condition, count, or content. Please remember that there may be a lapse of time between the delivery of shipments to the booth and the arrival of the exhibitor or exhibitor’s representative. AEI will not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, theft, or disappearance of the exhibitor’s materials after they have been delivered to the exhibitor’s booth at the show site. We suggest exhibitors arrange for security services for their booth. EQUIPMENT REQUIRING SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: Fourteen days advance notice must be provided to AEI by the exhibitor in order to obtain special devices to properly load, place, or reload equipment requiring such care. AEI will not be liable for any damage incurred during the handling of equipment requiring special devices if this advance notice has not been received by AEI. EMPTY CONTAINER LABELS: The exhibitor is responsible for affixing EMPTY labels (available at the AEI service desk) to containers to be stored during the show. It is understood that these labels are used for empty storage only and AEI assumes no responsibility or liability for loss or damage to contents while containers are in storage or for mislabeled containers. CLASSIFYING SHIPMENTS: AEI cannot be responsible for classifying shipments. After shipments are tendered to a carrier for shipment, AEI cannot be responsible for delivery time or damage or loss to property. OUTBOUND SHIPMENTS: All shipments received at the close of the show are subject to a final count. We will count and ship pieces as we find the shipment when we remove them from the booth to load out. All Material Handling Agreements submitted to AEI by the exhibitor will be checked at the time of pick up from the booth. Corrections will be made where any discrepancies exist between the quantities of pieces listed by the exhibitor and the actual count of such items in the booth at the time of pick up. AEI is not responsible for shipments left in booths by exhibitors. We suggest exhibitors arrange for security services for their booth. PLEASE NOTE: Where an exhibitor indicates the choice of carrier for pickup, it is the exhibitor’s responsibility to arrange with such carrier for said pickup service. In order to expedite removal of freight from the show site, AEI shall have the authority to change designated carriers, if such carriers do not pick up on time or refuse to accept shipments. Exhibits not removed from the show on removal day and on which we have no shipping information will be returned to our warehouse at an additional charge to await disposition. AEI assumes no liability as a result of such rerouting or handling. PAYMENT OF SERVICES: The exhibitor agrees, in the event of a dispute with AEI or its subcontractors relative to any loss or damage to any of the exhibitor’s freight or equipment, that the exhibitor will not withhold payment in any amount due to AEI for freight handling services or any other services provided by AEI or its subcontractors as an offset against the amount of the alleged loss or damage. Instead, the exhibitor agrees to pay AEI prior to the close of the show for all such charges and further agrees that any claim the exhibitor may have against AEI or its subcontractors shall be pursued independently by the exhibitor as a complete, separate transaction to be resolved on its own merits. JURISDICTION: This agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Maryland, and any and all performance thereunder, or breach thereof, shall be interpreted, governed, and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland, and the parties to this agreement consent that the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland shall be the sole forum where any cause of action arising under, or in any way related to, this agreement may be instituted. MISCELLANEOUS: Exhibitor, as a material part of the consideration to AEI for material handling services, waives and releases all claims against AEI, its employees, agents, officers, and directors, with respect to all matters for which AEI has disclaimed liability, pursuant to the provisions of this contract. The exhibitor acknowledges that he or she has read this agreement, understands it and agrees to be bound by its terms, and further agrees that it is the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties. The invalidity or enforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect, modify, or impair the validity and enforceability of all other provisions herein.
