Terms and Conditions TERMS AND CONDITIONS: National Rural Electric Cooperative Association hereinafter referred to as NRECA sponsors the TechAdvantage® 2019 Expo. These contract terms and conditions have been established for the mutual benefit and protection of exhibitors, attendees, and NRECA. Full Term and Conditions disclosure is included in the Exhibitor Services Manual. All payments should be directed to NRECA at the address on the Exhibit Space Application unless you are instructed to use a different address. It is the responsibility of the person completing this application to make sure all individuals working in the exhibiting company's booth are made aware of and follow these terms and conditions. 1) APPLICATIONS FOR SPACE MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH EITHER A 50% DEPOSIT OR COMPLETE PAYMENT DEPENDING UPON THE TOTAL COST OF THE BOOTH SPACE AND DATE THE APPLICATION IS MADE. Applications will not be processed or assigned exhibit space without the required payment. #1 Applications for exhibit space submitted on or before August 1, 2018, whose total cost is $9,300.00 or less, must be accompanied by payment in full of the total space rental charge. Applications for exhibit space submitted on or before August 1, 2018, whose total cost is greater than $9,300.00, must be accompanied by payment of 50% of the total space rental charge with the balance due on or before November 1, 2018.

No refunds will be made on applications submitted after August 1, 2018. #3 Associate Members that receive discounted space based upon their membership level, that later change their membership level, will be required to pay the difference owed within 30 calendar days of the membership change. Should a membership change require a partial refund, the refund will be sent after NRECA receives the membership dues for the new level. 2) NO REFUND FOR EXHIBIT SPACE WILL BE MADE AFTER AUGUST 1, 2018, EVEN IF SPACE IS RESOLD. Any company canceling all or part of their contracted exhibit space after August 1, 2018, including those who submitted space applications after August 1, 2018, will forfeit payments previously made to NRECA. On or before August 1, 2018, exhibitors who cancel will receive a refund equal to 50% of the amount paid for their exhibit space. TechAdvantageÂ® Expo payments cannot be transferred to other NRECA activities, future expositions, events, membership dues, advertising or product/services purchases. All requests to cancel some or all exhibit space must be made in writing. Cancellation requests may be made by e-mail, fax, or letter. Letters requesting refund of the initial deposit must be received (NOT POSTMARKED) on or before August 1, 2018. 3) SPACE REDUCTION PENALTY: Space reduction may result in the need to relocate to an available booth that is the reduced size. Limited space reduction and relocation options may be available. Exhibitors that reserve an exhibit space larger than 200 sq. ft. and later reduce the space size will pay an administrative fee equal to 10% of the cost of the original space in addition to the full rental fee of the reduced space. If relocation is not possible and sellable space is lost due to the space reduction, the exhibitor will need to pay for the full cost of the lost sellable space in addition to the 10% administrative fee and the full rental fee of the reduced space. 4) EVENT CANCELLATION INFORMATION: Should the Expo be cancelled for any reason at any time, the limit for claim of damages and/or compensation by the exhibitor shall be the return of the amount already paid for space in this specific Expo. If the length of the Expo is reduced for any reason at any time, no full or partial refunds will be made. NRECA recommends exhibitors purchase event cancellation insurance from their insurance carrier to cover any other losses that may result from the cancellation of this Expo. 5) SHOW DATES AND HOURS MAY CHANGE FROM THOSE PRINTED ON THE APPLICATION AND EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS. Final show dates and hours will be published in the Exhibitor Services Manual that will be mailed in November 2015. 6) IF AN EXHIBITOR DOES NOT FOLLOW THE RULES AND REGULATIONS SET BY NRECA, THEN THEIR CONTRACT WILL BE TERMINATED. In the event of a default by the Exhibitor, as set forth in the previous sentence, the exhibitor shall forfeit the amount paid for space rental, regardless of whether or not NRECA enters into a further lease of the space involved. 7) NRECA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE RENTAL OF DISPLAY SPACE TO ANY COMPANY AT ANY TIME.
