2023 ACEP Advanced Pediatric Emergency Medicine Assembly
Rules & Regulations

               These policies, terms, rules, and regulations governing the exhibit are part of the application for space and consequently, constitute a part of the contract between the exhibitor and ACEP. Exhibitors agree to abide by any policies, terms, rules, or regulations that may hereafter be adopted, which shall be as much a part of the contract as though originally incorporated. All matters not specified in the prospectus shall be resolved in the sole direction of ACEP Exhibit Management.

               Violation of any policies, terms, rules, and regulations by the exhibitor, employees, or agents shall annul the right to occupy space, and such exhibitor will forfeit to ACEP all money that may have been paid. ACEP Exhibit Management reserves the right to terminate the exhibit onsite and remove all persons and goods at the exhibitor’s expense. Any damages incurred by ACEP Exhibit Management to the exhibit will be the responsibility of the exhibitor. The exhibitor expressly waives the service of written notice to re-enter and terminate. ACEP Exhibit Management reserves the right to refuse assignment of exhibit space at future ACEP meetings.

    2. Each exhibitor, in making application for space, agrees to protect, indemnify, and hold harmless ACEP from any and all claims, liability, damages, or expenses (including attorney’s fees) asserted against them or incurred by them as a result of, or in connection with, any loss of or damage to property, or injury to persons resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with the negligence or wrongful acts of the exhibitor or its agents, servants, or employees.
    3. ACEP shall in no event be liable to an exhibitor for any lost business opportunities or for any other type of direct or consequential damages alleged to be due from a breach of contract. It is understood and agreed that the sole liability of ACEP to the exhibitor for any breach of this contract shall be for the refund of all amounts paid by the exhibitor pursuant to this contract, as an exclusive remedy.
