FREIGHT HANDLING TERMS & CONDITIONS

Grit Expositions and its subcontractors shall not be liable for damage, loss or delay to uncrated freight, freight improperly packed, glass breakage or concealed damage. Crates and packaging should be of a design to adequately protect contents for handling by forklift and similar means.

1. Relative to inbound shipment(s), there may be a lapse of time between the delivery of shipment(s) to the booth by Grit Expositions or its subcontractors and the arrival of the Exhibitor’s representative at the booth. Similarly, relative to outgoing shipment(s), it is possible that there will be a lapse of time between the completion of packing and the actual pickup of freight from the booth for loading onto a carrier. It is understood that during such times the shipment(s) will be left in the booth unattended. Therefore, it is agreed that Grit Expositions and its subcontractors are not liable for the loss of, disappearance of or damage to Exhibitor’s freight after the same has been delivered to Exhibitor’s booth, nor are Grit Expositions and its subcontractors liable for Exhibitor’s freight before it is picked up from the Exhibitor’s booth for loading after the show. Consequently, all bills of lading covering outgoing shipment(s) submitted to Grit Expositions or its subcontractors by Exhibitor will be checked at the time of pickup from the booth and corrected where discrepancies exist.
2. Grit Expositions and its subcontractors shall not be liable for any damage incurred during the handling of equipment requiring special devices to properly load, place or reload unless fourteen (14) days advance notice has been given to Grit Expositions in time to obtain the proper equipment.
3. Grit Expositions and its subcontractors shall not be liable for any loss, delay or damage due to events beyond their reasonable control which cannot be avoided by the exercise of due care and prudence, including but without limitation to, strikes, labor disputes, lockouts or work stoppages of any kind, fire theft, windstorm, water, vandalism, acts of God, mysterious failure of power or utilities and other events of force of nature.
4. Grit Expositions and its subcontractors shall not be liable for ordinary wear and tear in handling of equipment.
5. It is understood that Grit Expositions and its subcontractors are not insurers. Insurance, if any, shall be obtained by the Exhibitor. Amounts payable by Grit Expositions hereunder are based on the scope of the liability as herein set forth and are unrelated to the value of the Exhibitor’s property. It is further understood and agreed that Grit Expositions and its subcontractors do not provide for full liability should loss or damage occur. In the event that Grit Expositions or its subcontractors should be found liable for loss or damage to Exhibitor’s equipment, the liability shall be limited to the specific article that was physically lost or damaged. Such liability shall be limited to a sum equal to ten cents ($.10) per pound per article, with a maximum liability of Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($50.00) per item or One Thousand No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) per shipment, whichever is less, as agreed upon damages and exclusive remedy. Provisions of this paragraph shall apply if loss or damage, regardless of cause or origin, results directly or indirectly to property through performance or nonperformance of obligations imposed by the offering of services to Exhibitors or from negligence, active or otherwise, by Grit Expositions, its subcontractors or their employees.
6. Be sure your freight is insured from the time it leaves your firm until it is returned after the show. It is suggested that Exhibitors arrange all risk coverage. This can usually be done by riders to existing policies. Contact your insurance representative. Be sure your liability insurance is in effect during transit and return of your freight, during storage and at show site.
7. Grit Expositions and its subcontractors shall not be liable to any extent whatsoever for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to, delay any actual, potential or assumed loss of profits or revenues, loss of use of equipment or products or any collateral costs that may result from any loss, injury or damage to Exhibitor’s materials or exhibitor personnel, which may make it impossible or impractical to exhibit the Exhibitor’s materials.
8. Claims for loss or damage must be submitted to Grit Expositions immediately at show site, and in any case not later than thirty (30) business days after the conclusion of the event. Any and all claims reported after thirty (30) days will be rejected. No suit or action shall be brought against Grit Expositions or its subcontractors more than one year after the cause of action has accrued.
9. The Exhibitor agrees, in connection with the receipt, handling, temporary storage and reloading of its freight, that Grit Expositions and its subcontractors will provide these services as Exhibitor’s agent and not as bailee or shipper. If any employee of Grit Expositions or its subcontractors shall sign a delivery receipt, bill of lading or other document, the parties agree that Grit Expositions or its subcontractor will do so as the Exhibitor’s agent, and the Exhibitor accepts the responsibility thereof.
10. Grit Expositions and its subcontractors shall not be liable for shipments received without receipts, freight bills or specified unit counts on receipts or freight bills, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL or van lines. Such shipments will be delivered to the booth without guarantee of piece count or condition.
11. Empty container labels will be available at the Grit Expositions Exhibitor Service Desk. Affixing the labels is the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor or its representative. It is understood that these labels are used for EMPTY STORAGE ONLY. Grit Expositions assumes no responsibility for errors in preceding procedures, removal of containers with old empty labels and without Grit Expositions labels or improper information on labels. Grit Expositions and its subcontractors assume no responsibility or liability for loss or damage to contents while containers are in storage or for mislabeled containers.
12. In order to expedite removal of freight from the show site, Grit Expositions shall have the authority to change designated carriers, if such carriers do not pick up on time. Where no disposition is made by the Exhibitor, freight will be taken to a warehouse to await Exhibitor’s shipping instructions, and the Exhibitor agrees to be responsible for payment of charges relating to such handling at the warehouse. Grit Expositions assumes no liability as a result of such rerouting or handling.
13. The Exhibitor agrees, in the event of a dispute with Grit Expositions or its subcontractors relative to any loss or damage to any of the Exhibitor’s freight or equipment, that the Exhibitor will not withhold payment in any amount due to Grit Expositions for freight handling services or any other services provided by Grit Expositions or its subcontractors as an offset against the amount of the alleged loss of damage. Instead, the Exhibitor agrees to pay Grit Expositions prior to the close of the show for all such charges and further agrees that any claim the Exhibitor may have against Grit Expositions or its subcontractors shall be pursued independently by the Exhibitor as completely separate.
14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement and all Work Orders entered into hereunder shall be governed by, construed, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Texas and the federal laws of the United States applicable therein, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
