Payment Schedule and Prices: In view of the obligations which OEM is to enter into and the financial consequences hereof, the exhibitor will be invoiced the total participation costs immediately following the deadline for application, together with the deposit for extra services. Invoices are based on space allotted. This invoice has to be paid by the exhibitor within 14 days.

All prices are in EURO (€). OEM reserves the right to vary prices or impose a surcharge at any time prior to the opening of The Show if either: a) there are significant increases in the rate of currency exchange, duties or taxes or b) there are significant increases in the costs in connection with conducting The Show.

Exhibitor Cancellation or Space Reduction: Because OEM bases its irrevocable space & rental commitment on the Exhibitor’s participation commitment, by signing the Stand Application and Contract Form the Exhibitor is committed to paying 100% of the Total Participation Fee to OEM regardless of written notice from Exhibitor to cancel participation. If an exhibitor cancels participation after having signed and forwarded the contract to OEM, the exhibitor is liable to pay the full amount of the costs incurred for participation, since OEM can not reclaim these costs with the organizer of the exhibition. This liability also applies to costs made by OEM subcontractors. The cancellation fees are considered to be liquidated damages for the injuries OEM will suffer as a result of Exhibitor’s cancellation. The Exhibitor acknowledges that damages for breach of this contract are difficult to ascertain at the time of this contract’s formation and moreover, Exhibitor also acknowledges that its withdrawal or reduction from its reserved space at a time when other entities would be interested in occupying it will cause OEM to sustain damages. In such situations, the OEM’s damages will be significant, but not precisely calculable. This provision for liquidated and agreed upon damages is not a penalty and therefore the provision for liquidated damages is valid. The date of cancellation should be the postmarked date on such correspondence.

Show Cancellation: In the event of cancellation of The Show or any part thereof for any reason whatsoever, OEM shall not be under any liability whatsoever for any expenditure, loss or liability incurred by Exhibitors, and OEM shall be entitled to retain all sums paid by Exhibitors or such part thereof as the OEM, in its absolute discretion, considers necessary to cover OEM’s expenses incurred with The Show. The amount (if any) of any sums not retained by OEM as necessary to cover OEM’s expenses will be refunded to Exhibitors. Cancellation by OEM: OEM reserves the right to cancel the collective presentation. The exhibitor will not be entitled to withdraw from the agreement, nor to claim indemnity. Should the presentation be cancelled, OEM will not be liable for any losses or other disadvantages suffered by the exhibitor as a result hereof. Furthermore, the exhibitor shall in this case be required to bear a reasonable share of the costs incurred by OEM in preparing for the event.

Force Majeure: In the event of fire, war, inclement weather, public calamity, force majeure or other reasons beyond OEM’s control preventing all that is indispensable to the staging of the Holland Pavilion, OEM may decide at any time to cancel all applications for Exhibit Space already filed while notifying the Exhibitors of this decision in writing. Whatever the reasons of such cancellation, the Exhibitors are not entitled to any compensation or indemnity. Funds remaining after payment of all costs will be distributed among Exhibitors proportionately to the amounts paid by them. It is herewith expressly agreed that Exhibitors shall have no rights of preferring claims against OEM on any ground or for any reasons whatsoever. Exhibitor affirms that, to the best of its knowledge, it has the legal authority for its use of any intellectual property associated with any product or promotional material that it will display, offer, or otherwise use in its exhibit at this trade show/event and that it will not knowingly infringe the intellectual property rights of another party.
