Sponsor & Exhibitor Responsibilities

Neither IARE, nor its members, officers, staff and management company (Caruso Group International), nor The Hyatt Lodge at McDonald's Campus and their representatives or employees will be responsible for any injury, loss or damage that may occur to the exhibitor or the exhibitor's employees or property whatsoever, prior, during or subsequent to the period covered by the exhibit contract.

It is understood by the exhibitor that the nature of the facilities available, the presence or circulation of large numbers of people, the numbers of removable articles in many displays, and various other factors, make it mandatory that each exhibitor shall assume the risk of any such injury, loss or damage.

The exhibitor, by completing this Contract, thereby assumes such risk and expressly releases the above-named parties from all claims for any such loss, damage or injury. The furnishing of security shall not be deemed to affect the non-liability of the above-named parties nor to modify in any way the assumption of risk and release provided for them. If insurance is desired, it must be obtained by the exhibitor.

In case said premises shall be destroyed by fire or the elements or by any cause, or in the case of Government intervention or regulation, military activity, strikes or if any other circumstances make it impossible or inadvisable for IARE to hold the Conference and Exhibition, then and thereupon the Contract shall terminate and the exhibitor shall waive any claim for damages or compensation, except the pro rata return of amounts paid for space, after the deduction of actual expenses incurred in connection with the Exhibit, and there shall be no further liability on the part of either party.

It is recommended that exhibitors obtain adequate insurance coverage at their own expense for property loss or damage and liability for personal injury.
