The following rules and regulations governing the Exposition under the auspices of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) are part of the Exhibit Space Application & Contract and constitute a binding contract between the
Exhibitor and SCCT. They have been formatted in the best interest of the Exhibitor, and we ask full cooperation of the Exhibitor in their observance. Any detail not specified is subject to decision by SCCT.

As a condition for exhibiting, each exhibitor shall agree that they, their employees and their agents will observe all SCCT policies and regulations as described in the prospectus.

Any exhibitor who begins dismantling or packaging their exhibit and/or exhibit materials prior to the official close of technical exhibits may not be permitted to participate in future SCCT expositions.

Any part of a booth that has unfinished sides or end panels must be draped at the exhibitor's expense. A booth must lend itself to an attractive appearance.

Overstatement in design should be avoided. Exhibits must be constructed in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991. An island booth may extend to all outer edges of the booth space, but the design of the booth must allow accessibility from all four aisles and sufficient see-through areas so as not to block the view of the adjacent exhibits. All building materials including those that are “see-through” or “sheer,” such as glass or fabric, will be considered as potential visibility blockers when SCCT reviews island floor plans. All island booths a re-required to submit a blueprint and/or photograph of the booth design by May 5, 2020.

Exhibitors are encouraged to insure themselves against property loss or damage and against liability for personal injury.
It is further understood and agreed that SCCT shall in no event be liable to an exhibitor for any loss of profits, sales, business opportunities, or any other type of director consequential damages alleged to be due from breach of this contract. It is understood and agreed that the sole liability of SCCT to any 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.
Insurance
The exhibitor shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain, throughout the term of the contract for exhibit space, comprehensive general liability insurance against claims of bodily injury or death and property damage occurring in,
upon or resulting from the premises leased. The general liability insurance shall name SCCT, Shepard Exposition Services, and Baltimore Marriott Waterfront as additional insureds. Such insurance shall include contractual liability and products
