EXHIBITING/BOOTH SPACE SET-UP RULES & REGULATIONS
April 16, 17 & 18, 2011
Costa Mesa, CA

It is very important that all exhibitors understand the rules and regulations. Some of the rules have been implemented by the
fire marshal for the safety of all, some by the board that governs the facility and some are widely accepted show rules that
make exhibiting as fair as possible for all exhibitors.
The AFPE staff will be on hand during set up to answer questions and will be roaming the show floor to spot any exhibitor that
may be setting up their exhibit booth outside the guidelines and advise on how you might change your set-up to comply.

PLEASE READ AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING RULES AND REGULATIONS:
 AFPE has established a “Tall Wall” section for exhibitors whose booth set-up does not conform to regular booth set up
regulations. If your exhibit will not conform, make sure you notify Dave Williams so that he can place you within the Tall
Wall section of the show floor.
 The sale or negotiation for sale (taking of deposits, raffle, or delivery) of any livestock at AMERICA’S FAMILY PET EXPO is
strictly prohibited on the grounds, in the parking lot, or any adjacent areas during the inclusive dates of the show, unless
pre-authorized by Show Management. Exhibitors found violating this rule are subject to removal from the show without
refund or credit of monies paid.
 No element of any exhibit booth, including lighting fixtures, signage, banners, structure, etc. may exceed 8’ in height.
(Except for Sponsors and tall wall exhibitors booths) See diagrams provided on booth diagram page.
 Exhibits must remain in the confines of each exhibitor’s space. No displays, tables, chairs, demonstrations, etc. may extend
into the aisles or outside confines of exhibitor space. Any costumed characters must stay within the booth.
 Balloons may frighten the animals and pose a danger to animals and children. As per your exhibit contract they are
prohibited.
 Exhibits must be arranged as to not obstruct the view of adjoining exhibits and all exposed areas should be finished in a
neat and professional manner or draped. Draping may be rented from the Show Decorator.
 All flammable and decorative materials must be flame proofed.
 Microphones must be used responsibly. The volume may not be such that it hampers your neighbors’ ability to conduct
business in their booth.
 Any exhibitor who wishes to sample food and beverages at AFPE shall complete an Orange County Fair & Event Center
sample request form at least 30 days prior to the event and receive written approval from OCFEC. If written approval is
granted, it shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to obtain the necessary approvals from the Orange County Health
Department Sampling Requirements. If you plan on sampling food, please call our office to be directed to the appropriate
contact.
 All food and beverage related booths shall complete an OCFEC foodservice request form at least 30 days prior to the event
start date, and receive written approval from OCFEC. Foodservice commissions at the sole discretion of the OCFEC may be
required if written approval is granted. If written approval is granted, it shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to obtain
the necessary approvals from the Orange County Health Department Sampling Requirements.
 Bringing Alcohol on the grounds by exhibitors or attendees is strictly prohibited. The OCFEC Foodservice Provider shall only
serve alcoholic beverages on the OCFEC property. Exception to this policy shall only be valid with written OCFEC approval.
 "Games of Chance" or any other related activities are prohibited if the activity is played for commercial purposes and for
profit. If a "raffle" or "free drawing" is to be utilized during the event by an exhibitor, it must be called an "Opportunity
Drawing".

UNDERSTANDING DRAYAGE
April 15, 16 & 17, 2011
Costa Mesa, CA

Dear Exhibitors,

One of the most misunderstood aspects of preparing for your move-in at any trade or consumer show is
drayage or material handling.

This is the unloading of your exhibit materials, delivery to your booth, handling of empty
containers to and from storage and removal of your materials from your booth for
reloading onto your outbound carrier. This should NOT be confused with the cost to
transport your exhibit materials to and from the event.

When you send a shipment (exhibit materials or product) to the event facility, your driver is often asked
if they would like to have their vehicle unloaded for them. You and your driver should know that if they
say yes, this constitutes ordering labor and the exhibiting company will be billed for this service.

For information on ordering this labor for product that is delivered directly to show site at a discount
price, please see the Special Economy Booth Furnishings Package Form in the AFPE portion of the Service
Kit. For all other drayage needs, please consult the GES Exhibitor Service Kit.

You may hand carry or wheel your exhibit materials to and from your booth, but you
MAY NOT use a pallet jack or fork lift. All unloading with a fork lift or pallet jack must
use services provided by GES.

For more information on drayage or material handling, you may contact Nita Venegas at
nvenegas@ges.com or (562) 370-1596.

CONTRACT

TRADE SHOW TECHNICAL, INC. (“TST”) agrees to rent their equipment (“Equipment”), subject to the conditions of the Contract, and in con-
sideration thereof, the undersigned Customer (“Renter”) agrees to the following:

1. Renter understands and agrees that the Equipment described in the Contract remains the property of TST, and that the failure by the Renter to
return said Equipment to TST may constitute a crime and subject Renter to criminal prosecution.

2. Renter acknowledges that he has examined the Equipment and knows the condition thereof, and that the same is in good condition and repair,
and Renter agrees he will return the Equipment in the same good condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

3. Renter assumes all risks of loss, theft, destruction, or damage to such Equipment, and will hold TST harmless from any and all damages, claim,
lien, storage costs, labor and materials. Renter further agrees to pay TST on demand all costs of repairs or replacement at the current repair or re-
placement cost of said Equipment.

4. TST shall have a lien on all Renters’ property for all charges and expenses incurred by TST under the terms of the Contract including those
caused by damage to or destruction of said Equipment.

5. All equipment is subject to testing and check-out by TST personal upon return or pick-up to verify said equipment is in the same condition it
was delivered in and not damaged in any way.

6. Renter agrees that TST has the right to terminate this agreement at any time, and retake possession of said Equipment, and Renter shall guaran-
tee free access to TST of said Equipment and may enter upon the premises of the Renter, without becoming liable for trespass.

7. RENTER EXPRESSLY AGREES to use Equipment in strict accordance with the following instructions. Failure to do so automatically termi-
nates this Contract, with all sums due hereunder immediately payable to TST. RENTER FURTHER AGREES to immediately return said Equip-
ment.

8. TST SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO RENTER FOR ANY LIABILITY, CLAIM LOSS, DAMAGE (DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL), OR
EXPENSE OF ANY KIND OR NATURE CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY EQUIPMENT OR ANY INADEQUACY THEREOF
FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR ANY DEFICIENCY OR DEFECT (LATENT OR PATENT) THEREIN DELAY IN PROVIDING OR FAILURE TO
PROVIDE ANY THEREOF, OR ANY INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICE OR USE THEREOF, OR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR
ANY DAMAGE WHATSOEVER AND HOWEVER CAUSED BY TST SHALL NOT, BY VIRTUE OF HAVING RENTED THE EQUIPMENT
UNDER THIS CONTRACT, BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL
OR EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS (FOR USE OR FOR ANY PARTICULAR), DESIGN OR CON-
DITION OF, OR AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP IN THE EQUIPMENT.

9. Rental charges shall be based on all or any part of each twenty-four (24) hour period to the following 5:59 a.m. Renter agrees to pay rental fee
stipulated for the period stated. If Equipment is kept for a longer period, the rental fee will be charged at the stated rate until the Equipment is re-
turned to the possession of TST.

10. If TST incurs any expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in the enforcement of any of its rights hereunder, those costs and expenses
shall be the sole obligation of Renter.

11. All orders cancelled during or after delivery are subject to a cancellation fee of (1) days rental at the TST standard daily rates or the quoted
show rate which ever is less.

12. Equipment delivery and installation times are prioritized when the completed form is processed through TST and then installed. TST is not
responsible if equipment installation does not meet your time line due to any unforeseen circumstances that may occur at show site. The Delivery/
Pick Up charge covers delivery to and pick up from the Facility only. Any installation/set up/dismantle work will be charged at current TST labor
rates

13. Any drayage or forced labor charges will be billed directly to the exhibitor by the show general contractor.

14. TST reserves the right to upgrade equipment at no additional charge.

15. All charges are subject to change without prior notice.

16. Competitor price matching is contingent upon receipt of a written quote and/or an official order form which pertains specifically to the show
for which the equipment is being ordered for. TST reserves the right to refuse any price match.

17. TST's liability for any professional error, mistake, malpractice or error/omission shall be limited to our daily rate for this project.

18. No term or condition of this Contract may be waived or modified as to TST except in writing signed by TST’s authorized representative or by
an officer of TST who has been expressly authorized to do so by TST.

19. You may choose to pay by credit card, check or bank wire transfer, however, we require that your order be secured by having a credit card on
file with TST. Your card on file will be used to pay for any additional equipment or labor ordered on site and signed for by you or your representa-
tive and any lost or damaged equipment.

This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between TST and Renter.
