Rules and Regulations

By submitting an Application for Space, Exhibitor agrees to comply with the following HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 Rules & Regulations (the “HAI Rules and Regulations”), and to ensure that its officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, contractors, and subcontractors also comply.
 

1. Exhibition Objectives

   To promote interest in, and demand for, vertical flight aircraft and vertical flight related products and services, as well as aviation related products and services.
   
   

2. Trade Show/Exposition Management

   The HAI HELI-EXPO® annual trade show and exposition (the “Show”) is produced by and is the property of the Helicopter Association International, hereinafter referred to as “HAI” or “Association.” HAI will provide all trade show/exposition management functions.
   
   

3. Exhibitor Representative Responsibility

   Each exhibiting company (“Exhibitor”) must name at least one person to be the official representative and responsible party for such Exhibitor (“Exhibitor Representative”). The Exhibitor Representative will receive all relevant materials relating to the HAI HELI-EXPO 2019. The Exhibitor Representative shall be authorized to enter into any agreements as may be necessary for fulfillment of obligations to HAI and to other contractors, subcontractors, and consultants.
   
   

4. Acceptance of HAI Rules and Regulations

   The HAI Rules & Regulations incorporate by reference the Exhibitor Prospectus, the Application for Space, all other directions issued or to be issued by HAI, Helicopter Foundation International (“HFI”), or Global Experience Specialists (“GES”), and the policies and criteria established by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (“GWCC Authority”), including the Georgia World Congress Center (“GWCC”) General Operating Policies and Procedures, for the use of the facilities under the jurisdiction of the GWCC Authority (collectively, the “Agreement”). Exhibitor shall comply with all federal, state, county, and local laws and ordinances. To the extent there is an inconsistency between the HAI Rules & Regulations and any document incorporated by reference, the rule imposing a greater obligation on the Exhibitor shall apply and take precedence. By submission of an Application for Space, the Exhibitor (a) agrees to abide by such HAI Rules & Regulations; (b) signifies that it understands and agrees that its right to the use of space allocated to it for HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 by HAI’s management (“HAI Show Management”) is contingent upon Exhibitor’s cooperation with HAI Show Management and compliance with the HAI Rules & Regulations; (c) warrants that the representations made by Exhibitor in its Application for Space, and all other representations made by Exhibitor to HAI Show Management, are true, accurate and complete; (d) warrants that it either possesses or will possess as of the first day of HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, all licenses, certifications, and permits as may be required under federal, state, county, or local laws or regulations of the state and locality in which the Show is being held; (e) warrants that it possesses all insurance required by the HAI Rules & Regulations, and (f) that the person submitting the Application for Space on behalf of the Exhibitor is authorized to do so and authorized to bind the Exhibitor to the commitments and obligations set forth in the HAI Rules & Regulations. Also, by submission of an Application for Space, Exhibitor agrees that its violation of the HAI Rules & Regulations shall be grounds for termination of Exhibitor’s right to the use of space allocated to it by HAI Show Management and forfeiture of all fees paid by Exhibitor for HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, and such other remedies as may be appropriate in HAI’s sole discretion. Violating Exhibitors will be ineligible for HAI HELI-EXPO 2020 Lotteries 1 and 2, and/or the violating Exhibitor’s placement on the show floor will be subject to change in HAI’s sole discretion. The Exhibitor Prospectus and the HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 website represent a good-faith attempt by HAI to describe HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 to prospective exhibitors. HAI is not responsible for errors contained therein. Because there are many details and aspects of HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, the Exhibitor Prospectus is not warranted to be complete. Prospective exhibitors are expected to contact HAI for further information. All matters and questions are subject to the discretion of the HAI Show Management. In addition, while the Exhibitor Prospectus and the HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 website represent HAI’s good-faith effort to describe its plans for HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, the information and rules contained in the Exhibitor Prospectus and website are subject to change at any time by HAI Show Management and such changes shall be binding upon Exhibitors. Moreover, the policies and rules and regulations of the GWCC Authority may change from time to time and such rules and regulations, as changed, shall be binding on each Exhibitor. HAI reserves the right to change the HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 content, timing, speakers, or venue, without notice or liability to Exhibitor.
   
   

5. Exhibit Eligibility

   Exhibits shall feature products or services related to the design, operation, or servicing of manned and/or unmanned aircraft. HAI reserves the right to deny space to any company whose products and services are not directly related to vertical aviation operations or activities. HAI reserves the right to determine the eligibility of a company or its product for inclusion in the exhibits, and reserves the right to remove or modify exhibits that, because of noise, method of operation, materials, or for any other reason, become objectionable to HAI. HAI also reserves the right to prohibit or remove any exhibit that, at HAI’s sole discretion, does not meet the exhibit eligibility criteria of this Section 5 or may detract from the general character of the Show as a whole. HAI also reserves the right to prohibit any Exhibitor or any of its officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, representatives, patrons, guests, or invitees from exhibiting in or attending the Show that, in HAI’s sole discretion, demonstrated unprofessional behavior during a prior HAI HELI-EXPO annual trade show and exposition. HAI reserves the right to require an Exhibitor to modify or remove exhibits, even after they are on the Show floor. In such event, neither HAI nor HFI shall be liable to any Exhibitor for any refund of exhibit fee, expenses incurred by the Exhibitor, or any cost, damage, expense or loss of revenue. The acceptance or rejection of any company or product for exhibit space does not constitute or imply endorsement of or judgment about the merit of the company or its product(s) or service(s).
   
   

6. Booth/Space Assignment

   Assignment of space is determined by two separate lotteries (click here for more information). Every effort will be made to accommodate each Exhibitor’s preferred location; however, HAI cannot guarantee placement in any space selections requested by Exhibitors. HAI reserves the right to assign space subject to such parameters as booth size and design, maximum attendee traffic flow, and relationship to similar exhibits.
   
   

7. Show Materials

   Exhibitors will be listed in the HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 Show materials by the organization’s name, exactly as provided by the Exhibitor under “Exhibiting as Company Name” on the Application for Space. If a different listing is preferred, notification must be provided in writing to the HAI Show Management by December 21, 2018 — restrictions do apply.

9. Booth Specifications and Height Restrictions

   All exposed parts of any display must be finished so as not to be objectionable to HAI. HAI may order draping at the Exhibitor’s expense, for units with exposed wire structures, electrical wires, etc., along an aisle or at the edge of booths. Such exposure usually occurs when the Exhibitor has not clearly thought out the layout of Island Displays, or with units that sit out from the back wall/drapes and/or curve toward the front of the booth (pop up exhibits), and are usually, but not necessarily, located at the end of an aisle. All display material and demonstrations must be confined to the limits of the Exhibitor’s purchased display space. Normal aisle traffic cannot be interfered with at any time, for any reason. Only rotor blades may extend into aisles (such extensions must be over 7′ from the ground and may not extend more than 5′ into aisles). Hardback booths must be designed to provide a minimum of 9″ clearance to the rear booth line for access to electrical service. If access to electrical equipment is not available, electric power may be denied. No products, equipment, or booth construction may be placed in such a way as to obstruct the view of neighboring exhibits from visitors passing through the aisles, as determined by HAI Show Management. No part of the exhibit or other materials may be posted, nailed, or otherwise affixed to walls, doors, or other surfaces in a way that might damage, mar, or deface the exhibit area premises, booth equipment, or furnishings. Exhibitors must surrender exhibit space in the same condition as at the commencement of occupation. Exhibitors must place all trash and unused packing materials in designated receptacles. Exhibitor shall be solely responsible for any damage to the premises caused by Exhibitor or Exhibitor’s officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, representatives, patrons, guests, or invitees, or for any cleanup required to return Exhibitor’s exhibit space to the same condition as at the commencement of Exhibitor’s occupation, and Exhibitor shall pay for any damage to HAI or the property owners upon written demand.
   
   

10. Booth Staffing

    Exhibits shall not be dismantled before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the final day of the Show. Early dismantling may result in Exhibitor being charged a fine and ineligibility for future lottery drawings. Booths must be staffed during the hours of the Show as stated in the Exhibitor Prospectus.
    
    

11. Delivery and Removal During Show

    No delivery or removal of any portion of an exhibit will be permitted during days of the Show without permission of HAI Show Management.
    
    

12. Cancellation/Reductions

    Exhibitors may withdraw from the Show subject to the following conditions and restrictions: (a) Exhibitor shall give HAI Show Management written notice of its intent to withdraw all, or part of, Exhibitor’s assigned exhibit space and shall be subject to the following cancellation fees (which may be made by HAI at any point in time during or after the Show): (i) Prior to November 2, 2018, a cancellation fee of 25% of the total booth rental will be retained by HAI; (ii) If the Exhibitor provides notice of cancellation/withdraw between November 3, 2018 and November 30, 2018, a cancellation fee of 50% of the total booth rental will be retained by HAI; and (iii) If notice is received on or after December 1, 2018, no refund will be made.; (b) Exhibitors cancelling an entire exhibit shall release their hospitality suites reserved with the hotels listed in the HAI housing block; (c) If HAI does not receive complete payment by the stated deadlines, HAI will assume that the Exhibitor has cancelled the space; (d) Reductions that result in open space that HAI Show Management is unable to sell may result in booth reassignment for an Exhibitor reducing the size of its booth; and (e) With respect to Applications for Space submitted after the November 30, 2018, cancellation deadline are not eligible for any refund, but Exhibitor will be eligible for Lottery 1 of HAI HELI-EXPO 2020, if Exhibitor notifies HAI, in writing, before January 28, 2019, of its intent to withdraw from the Show. This will allow HAI Show Management time to relocate another Exhibitor to the space or plan a use for the empty space. Cancellation fees or booths that do not receive a refund are not able to be applied as a credit toward current or future year fees.
    
    

13. Sharing/Subletting of Space

    Each exhibiting company or division thereof must submit a separate Application for Space — no exceptions! Each exhibiting company is required to purchase a minimum of 100 net square feet. Exhibitors shall not assign, sublet, or share the whole, or any part of, exhibit space purchased without the knowledge and prior written consent of HAI Show Management. The display or advertising of a third party’s product constitutes sharing space. Failure to receive written consent from HAI to share exhibit space in advance (including displaying the advertising of another company’s product or service) may result in the removal of Exhibitor(s) from the exhibit space or an additional exhibit charge of $2,850 per 10′ × 10′ space and/or $3,450 per 20′ × 40′ static space, per company, per space. If Exhibitor(s) sharing space is not a member of HAI, the charge per company will be $4,050 per 10’ × 10′ exhibit space and/or $4,550 per 20′ × 40′ static space.
    
    

14. Fault of Occupancy

    Any Exhibitor failing to occupy reserved space by 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, March 4, 2019, shall forfeit the space without reimbursement. Exhibitors arriving after this time must contact HAI Show Management to determine if space is available and, if so, to schedule their move-in. Exhibitors arriving late may be given booth space different from their original assigned space at the discretion of HAI Show Management and may be required to wait until after the exhibit hall closes in order to move-in.
    
    

15. Unoccupied Space

    HAI shall have the right to use any unoccupied space beginning at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, March 4, 2019 to suit its own convenience, including relocating an exhibit or selling the space to another Exhibitor without any rebate or allowance to the defaulting Exhibitor. HAI assumes no responsibility for having included the name of the defaulting Exhibitor, or description of company products/services in any printed or electronic materials related to the Show.
    
    

16. Distribution of Materials

    Publications and advertising material of any description may be displayed and distributed only within the display space(s) assigned to the Exhibitor presenting such material. No Exhibitor is permitted to distribute materials outside of their assigned exhibit space. Exhibitors are not permitted to display or distribute advertising materials, of any description, booth-to-booth. Materials distributed to other booths will be confiscated.
    
    

17. Direct Selling

    Selling on the Show floor (payment received and product or service delivered on-site) is prohibited except where specifically authorized in writing by HAI Show Management in advance. Exhibitor bears sole responsibility, including cost, to obtain all licenses and permits necessary for conducting such business in the state and locality in which the Show is being held.
    
    

18. Canvassing and Solicitations

    Except by exhibiting companies within their respective assigned booth(s), canvassing and solicitations are prohibited outside the GWCC. Canvassing by Exhibitors outside their assigned booth(s) is prohibited except where specifically authorized in advance, in writing by HAI Show Management. Examples include but are not limited to dropping promotional materials in booths, publication bins, food courts, etc. Solicitations for charitable contributions of any kind are not permitted unless approved in writing by HAI in advance. HAI must receive requests for direct selling, canvassing, and solicitation activities before December 7, 2018.
    
    

19. Dress Code

    Persons under the control of Exhibitor must be appropriately attired at all times. Exhibitor agrees to comply with any request made by HAI with respect to change in Exhibitor’s attire, if in HAI’s sole determination, the attire of an Exhibitor is not appropriate.
    
    

20. Copyrights, Music Licensing, and Noise Levels

    Exhibitor warrants and represents that no music, literary or artistic work or other property protected by copyright, nor the name of any performing individual or group protected by trademark, will be performed, reproduced, or used by Exhibitor for its exhibit during HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, unless Exhibitor has previously obtained a license from the copyright or trademark holder. Exhibitor acknowledges that if events require the use of live or recorded music protected by U.S. copyright laws, such performances will not be permitted at HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 without prior written approval from HAI Show Management. Exhibitor shall be responsible for obtaining required licenses including but not limited to licenses from any or all of ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC. Exhibitors failing to comply with this rule will solely be responsible for all fees due to music licensing agencies. Exhibitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HAI and its affiliates, officials, officers, directors, members, employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, representatives, and related organizations (including HFI) and their officials, officers, directors, employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, and representatives, against any and all expenses, damages, claims, suits, losses, actions, judgments, liabilities, and costs whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of, connected with, or resulting from, any failure by Exhibitor to possess the proper licenses for use of live or recorded music, literary or artistic work, or other property protected by copyright or trademark. No artistic performance shall be broadcast or televised or in any manner recorded for reproduction without prior written agreement of HAI. Excessive sound can be offensive and distracting. Each Exhibitor is responsible to create and maintain an atmosphere that is conducive to conducting business, without excessive noise. Any audio equipment, whether in the booth or as part of the display, may not exceed a reasonable sound level, as determined by HAI Show Management in its sole discretion. Further, any use of enhanced sound systems (including, but not limited to, the use of live bands) requires prior written consent by HAI. Exhibitors shall comply with the following to ensure the appropriate business atmosphere for HAI HELI-EXPO 2019:
       •  Self-supported audio equipment must be directed inwardly, toward the Exhibitor’s exhibit, as opposed to outwardly toward aisles or neighboring exhibits.
       •  Audio equipment must not violate the height restriction applicable to the Exhibitor’s booth.
       •  At any time, if sound levels are determined by HAI Show Management in its sole discretion to be excessive and/or distracting to other Exhibitors, or otherwise undesirable, HAI Show Management shall have the right to take action that it deems appropriate in the circumstances. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, requiring Exhibitor to reduce the sound or limit its duration, or disconnecting electrical service of the Exhibitor generating the sound.
    
    

21. Food and Beverage

    Exhibitor shall not bring into the GWCC, or any of its facilities, any food, whether prepared or unprepared or beverages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to alcoholic beverages, without the prior consent of HAI and the GWCC Authority. Exhibitor shall not sell or serve beverages or food from its booth space that competes in any way with the food and beverage service of the GWCC, which shall have the sole authority to give approval for the service of food or beverage. Exhibitor shall solely be responsible for payment of fees/charges imposed by the GWCC or their designated provider for distribution of such food or beverages.
    
    

22. Property Left on Premises

    HAI reserves the right to remove or have removed from the GWCC all effects of Exhibitor remaining after March 9, 2019 and, at HAI’s sole discretion, to store, to dispose of or have stored these effects wherever HAI, HFI, GES, or the GWCC Authority sees fit. HAI shall not be liable in any way to Exhibitor on account of so removing or storing these effects. Exhibitor shall be responsible for any storage and/or disposal costs.
    
    

23. Outside Exhibits and Activities

    Exhibitor agrees, subject to expulsion of its exhibit from HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, not to take advantage of the Show to exhibit products, or services, or to promote or otherwise exploit Exhibitor, its product(s) or product name(s) outside the premises of the GWCC, or any of the hotels listed in the HAI housing block, during the period of the trade show. Exhibitor shall not entertain visitors during HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 programs or exhibit hours in a rented function room or facility, or to otherwise induce visitors away from any HAI-sponsored activities.

Firefighting and emergency equipment may not be hidden or obstructed, including fire extinguishers, strobes, fire hose cabinets, fire alarm pull stations, and standpipes. All emergency exits, hallways, and aisles must be kept clear and unobstructed. Fire lanes must be maintained at all times on the loading dock. Exhibitors should be aware that state, local or municipal codes may impose requirements regarding the minimum or maximum fuel levels applicable to aircraft to be used in exhibits, and that these codes may vary.

Exhibitors shall ascertain and comply with all applicable codes, rules and regulations of the state, locality or municipality in which the event will take place.
    
    

25. Liability and Indemnification

    Each Exhibitor agrees to make no claims for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to, negligence, against HAI, HFI, GES, the State of Georgia, the GWCC Authority, and/or the GWCC, nor any of their officials, officers, directors, members, agents, employees, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, or consultants, in conjunction with HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 for theft, loss, damage, fire damage, or destruction of goods; nor for any injury (including bodily injury or death) or damage to himself/herself, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, representatives, or to outside parties (including but not limited to patrons, guests, or invitees) relating to, arising out of, caused by, occasioned by, or in connection with (i) the Exhibitor’s participation in or presence at HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, including but not limited to Exhibitor’s installation, removal, maintenance, occupancy or use at the GWCC premises, or any part thereof; (ii) any act or omission of the Exhibitor or any of its members, officials, officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, representatives, servants, assigns, patrons, guests, or invitees, or (iii) breach of any of the terms or provisions of the HAI Rules & Regulations.

    Exhibitor is solely responsible for damage to the GWCC premises caused by Exhibitor or its officials, officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, representatives, patrons, guests, or invitees.

28. Enforcement of Rules

    HAI has full power of interpretation and enforcement of these rules. Exhibitors or their officials, officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, patrons, guests, invitees, or representatives who fail to comply with federal, state, and local laws or ordinances, or who fail to observe the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or who, at HAI’s sole discretion, conduct themselves in a manner inconsistent with the rights of other Exhibitors to display their products or services to attendees or act in an unprofessional manner or in a manner unfavorable to the image of HAI may be removed from the exhibit floor without refund or other appeal, and may be barred from future HAI trade shows and expositions. This includes persons, things, printed matter, or anything that might be objectionable to HAI. Additionally, HAI and the GWCC Authority retain the right to remove from the premises any and all disorderly officials, officers, directors, affiliates, employees, representatives, agents, guests, invitees, or patrons of Exhibitor and the right to eject any disorderly person or persons from the GWCC or any of its facilities; in the event of the exercise of this authority, Exhibitor waives any and all claims for damages against HAI and the GWCC Authority on account thereof.
    
    

29. Default

    Exhibitor’s material violation of the HAI Rules & Regulations shall be grounds for termination of Exhibitor’s right to the use of space allocated to it by HAI, forfeiture of all fees paid by Exhibitor for HAI HELI-EXPO 2019, and such other remedies as may be appropriate. An Exhibitor whose right to the use of space has been terminated shall be required to vacate and remove its exhibit and all merchandise and personal property from HAI HELI-EXPO 2019. An Exhibitor in violation of the HAI Rules & Regulations will be ineligible for HAI HELI-EXPO 2020 Lotteries 1 and 2, and its placement on the Show floor will be subject to change in HAI’s sole discretion. Any failure, delay or forbearance by HAI in insisting upon or enforcing any provision of the HAI Rules & Regulations shall not be construed as a waiver of, and shall not prejudice HAI’s right to enforce, such provision against any Exhibitor.
    
    

30. Jurisdiction

    This Agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, whose body of laws shall at all times govern the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement.
