DEFINITIONS For purposes of this Contract, Texas Exposition Services, Inc., D/B/A Tex Expo (“Tex Expo”) means its employees, directors, officers, agents, assigns, affiliated companies, and related entities including, but not limited, to any subcontractors Tex Expo may appoint. The term “Exhibitor” means the Exhibitor, its employees, agents, representatives, and any Exhibitor Appointed Contractors (“EAC”). PAYMENT TERMS Full payment, including applicable tax, is due in advance or at show site. All payments must be in U.S. funds and all checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank. Orders received without advance payment or after the deadline date will incur additional after deadline charges as indicated on each order form. All materials and equipment are on a rental basis for the duration of the show or event and remain the property of Tex Expo except where specifically identified as a sale. All rentals include delivery, installation, and removal from Exhibitor’s booth. In case of cancellation of any orders or services by Exhibitor, a one-hour “per person, per hour” charge will be applied for all labor orders that are not cancelled in writing at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled start time. A 50% restocking fee will be applied to all Tex Expo rental items with the exception of Custom-Cut carpet and any other custom-order items, which will remain at 100% of the original charge. If services have already been provided at the time of cancellation, price will remain at 100% of original charge. If the show or event is canceled because of reasons beyond Tex Expo’s control, Exhibitor remains responsible for all charges for services and equipment provided up to and including the date of cancellation. Tex Expo will not issue refunds to Exhibitor of any payments made before the date of cancellation. It is Exhibitor’s responsibility to advise Tex Expo of any problems with any orders, and to check the Exhibitor’s invoice for accuracy prior to the close of the show or event. If Exhibitor is exempt from payment of sales tax, Tex Expo requires an exemption certificate for the State in which the services are to be used. Resale certificates are not valid unless Exhibitor is rebilling these charges to its customers. For International exhibitors, Tex Expo requires 100% prepayment of advance orders, and any order or services placed at show site must be paid at the show. For all others, should there be any pre-approved unpaid balance after the close of the show, terms will be net, due and payable in Texas upon receipt of invoice. Effective thirty (30) days after invoice date, any unpaid balance will bear a finance charge at the lesser of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, or 1.5% per month, which is an Annual Percentage Rate of 18%, and future orders will be on a pre-paid basis only. If any finance charge hereunder exceeds the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, the finance charge shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate allowed, any excess finance charge received by Tex Expo shall be either applied to reduce the principal unpaid balance or refunded to the payer. These payment terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas. In the event of any dispute between the Exhibitor and Tex Expo relative to any loss, damages, or claim, such Exhibitor shall not be entitled to and shall not withhold payment, or any partial payment, due to Tex Expo for its services, as an offset against the amount of any alleged loss or damages. Any claim against Tex Expo shall be considered a separate transaction, and shall be resolved on its own merits. Tex Expo reserves the right to charge Exhibitor for the difference between the Exhibitor’s estimate of charges and the actual charges incurred by the Exhibitor, or for any charges that Tex Expo may be obligated to pay on behalf of Exhibitor, including without limitation, any shipping charges. If Exhibitor provides a credit card for payment and charges are rejected by the Exhibitor’s credit card company for any reason, Tex Expo hereby provides notice that it reserves the right, and Exhibitor authorizes Tex Expo, to continue to attempt to secure payment through that or any other Exhibitor(s) credit card for as long as unpaid balances remain on Exhibitor’s account.
