Eligibility to exhibit. Exhibitors’   products   and  services   must   be   relevant   to   the   firearms  compliance  profession.  Orchid  Advisors  has  the  right  to   refuse   or   terminate   exhibit   space   rental   if  products,   services,   exhibitor   behavior   or   displays  are  not  appropriate  and  compatible  with  the  general  character   or   quality   of   the   conference   and   cause  undue  interference  with   the   effective   operations   of  Orchid   Advisors   and   its   staff.   The   rules,   policies,  and   regulations   outlined   on   this   form   and   in   the  service  kit  are  part  of   the  exhibitor’s  contract  with  Orchid  Advisors.  

Space assignment. All   dimensions   and   locations  shown  on  the   official  floor  plan  are  believed,  but  not  warranted  to  be,  accurate.  Orchid  Advisors   reserves  the   right   to   make   such   modifications   as   may   be  necessary   to   meet   the  needs  of   the  Exhibitors  and  the  exhibit  program.  

Reservation   of   2015   booth   space   is   on   a   first  come/first  served  basis,  by  the  date  the  booth  space  contract  and  deposit  are  received.   If   an   exhibitor’s  first   selection   of   space   has   already   been   assigned,  Orchid  Advisors  will  allocate  the  next‑best  available  space.   Upon   receipt   of   contract   and  deposit,   space  assignment(s)   will   be   sent   within   five   to   seven  business   days.   If   the   exhibit   hall   space   is   sold   out,  notification   will   be   made   immediately   by   phone  and  the  organization  applying   to  exhibit  is  placed  on  a   waiting   list.   Orchid   Advisors   assumes   that   the  exhibit   space  assignment  is  accepted  unless  Orchid

Exhibitor use of space. Exhibitors  may  not  assign,  sublet,  or  apportion   the  whole   or   any   part   of   their  allotted   space.   In   addition,   exhibitors   may   not  advertise   or   display   products   or   services   other  than   those   manufactured   or   sold   in   their   regular  business.   Exhibitor   or   Sponsor   company  descriptions  in  the  on‑site  conference  guide  will  be  limited   to   one   company   name   and   identity   listing.  The   distribution   of   samples,   souvenirs,  publications,  etc.,  or  other  sales  or  sales  promotion  activities   must  be  conducted  by  exhibitor  only  from  within  its  space.  The  distribution  of  any  article  that  interferes  with  the  activities  or  obstructs  access   to  neighboring   booths,   or   that   impedes   aisles,   is  prohibited.   This   includes   placement   of   display  racks,  banners,  brochures  or  other  items  outside  of  the   designated   space   rented   by   the   exhibitor,   as  well  as  the  offering  of   food  or  beverages.  

Exhibitor code of conduct. All   exhibitors   agree  to  abide  by  the   following  code  of  conduct,  and  agree  to  Orchid  Advisors’  right  to  take  immediate  action  to  restrict   or   evict   exhibitor   and/or   its   personnel  from   the   conference   in   the   event   of   Code   of  Conduct  violations.   In   the  event  of   such  eviction  or  restriction,  exhibitor  will  forfeit  all  monies  paid  for  the   conference,  and  may  be  subject  to  restrictions  or  prohibitions   on   attending   future   Orchid   Advisors  conferences.  

The   exhibitor   and   its   personnel   shall   conduct   and  operate  its  exhibit   so   as   not   to   annoy,   endanger   or  interfere   with   the   rights   of   other   Exhibitors,  conference   attendees,   and   visitors   or   Orchid  Advisors  staff.  

Orchid  Advisors   reserves   the   right   to   prohibit   any  exhibit   and/or   exhibitor   that,  in  its  sole  discretion  and   judgment,   is   inappropriate,   offensive,   or   may  detract   from   the   general   character   of   the  conference.
