RULES AND REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO EXHIBITS
The Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association offers members and qualified applicants the opportunity to exhibit fire
sprinkler related products and services on appropriate table tops set aside during the Association’s Annual Seminar.
I.
Qualification for Exhibitors
A.
This fire sprinkler exhibit has as its objective advancing the art and science of fire sprinkler protection. The Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association will determine which applicants are best qualified to serve this purpose as exhibitors
within the framework of these rules.
B.
Exhibits will be restricted to fire sprinkler related products and services. The C.A.S.A. will have the final authority in determining if a prospective exhibitor meets this criteria. Preference will be given to:
1)
members of C.A.S.A.
2)
manufacturers and suppliers of products which have been tested and listed, certified, or approved by one
or more of the nationally recognized fire testing laboratories, if such product testing is applicable and available
3)
organizations providing fire safety related services offering one or more of the following
a)
research or laboratory testing
b)
inspection
c)
educational or technical services related to fire protection or sprinkler systems
d)
manufacturers or suppliers of new products to advance fire sprinkler technology
II.
Audience
Admission to the floor of the fire sprinkler exhibit will be granted only to registrants of the C.A.S.A. Annual Seminar
wearing an official attendance badge or those wearing official guest badges. Guest badges will be available at the registration desk and are limited to those individuals who are not eligible for membership within our Association. Exhibitors will
be provided with special exhibitor badges; each exhibit is provided with one full registration to all events in the Seminar.
A limit of two additional registrations are available to the exhibitor at a reduced price as published in the rate schedule. Each person issued an exhibitor badge must be employed by the exhibitor or have a direct business affiliation with
same, and each badge must be filled out by the registrar for record keeping purposes. Those persons requiring “Exhibitor
Badges” at the conference will be required to show identification that shows their affiliation with an exhibiting company.
III.
Selection of Table Tops
A.
The number of exhibitors will be limited by the number of exhibit tables available. Exhibit tables are to be clearly stated on the floor plans.
B.
No exhibitor may assign or sublet the whole or any part of the space allotted, nor may any exhibitor exhibit
therein any goods other than manufactured or handled by the exhibitor in the regular course of his business.
C.
Table selection priorities: table location and availability will be assigned on a point system;
with one point assigned for each previous year of display; with the same number of points accumulated, priority will be
given to the company whose membership in C.A.S.A. is earliest; in the event that there is no distinction, then a draw will
take place to decide who has priority.
IV.
Table Top Standard
All exhibits will be limited to those materials and products that can be displayed or demonstrated on the top of a 8’ x 30”
table provided by the Association. The height of all materials on the table cannot exceed 10’ from the finished floor surface. No exhibit may span an aisle by roofing or floor covering without prior acceptance from the C.A.S.A.

C.

D.
the use of billboard advertisements and/or display of signs outside the exhibit area
E.

canvassing or distributing any material outside the exhibitor’s own space
F.
publicizing and/or maintaining any extra-curricular activities, inducements, demonstrations, or display away from
the exhibit area during the exhibit hours
The right is reserved to refuse the applications of concerns not meeting standards required or expected as well as the right
to curtail or to close exhibits or parts of exhibits that reflect unfavourably on the character of the meeting. The management also reserves the right to re-locate or re-arrange the floor plan.
V.
Installation, Opening, and Closing of Exhibits
Each exhibitor agrees to man their exhibit space during all hours the exhibit hall is open and agrees not to dismantle their
table top or to do any packing before the official final closing.
VI.

Display materials should be limited to those which exhibitors could carry with them during travelling with limited packing
materials.
VII. Exhibit Equipment
Exhibitors will be provided with a 6’ x 30” table and table cloth.

All cloth decorations must either be treated so as to be flame retardant or be inherently flame retardant. All surplus packing containers, excelsior, wrapping paper, etc. are to be removed from the public exhibit spaces prior to the opening of the
exhibit and as soon as possible after the exhibit is set up. Flammable and combustible liquids and gases, highly combustible plastics, and open flame devices shall not be allowed without the express permission of the Fire Prevention Bureau of
the City.
B.
The exhibitors shall install their exhibits in such a manner as not to cause damage to any other exhibits or booths
or to the building. Nothing shall be posted on, tacked, mailed, screwed, or otherwise attached to the columns, walls,
floors, or other parts of the building or furnishings. Any such damage so caused by the exhibitor shall be paid for by the
exhibitor.
IX.
Labour
All work in connection with the display assembly or dismantling is to be performed by the exhibitor’s employees.
X.
Insurance
All exhibitors will insure themselves, at their own expense, against property loss or damage, and against liability for personal injury. Proof of such insurance will be required by C.A.S.A.
XI.

Page 10
disconcerting to other exhibitors. Exhibitors or their representatives who fail to comply with these regulations will be
requested to leave the exhibit hall without refund, appeal, or redress.
B.
Only products which can be exhibited within the space limitations of the available tabletops can be accepted,
although manufacturers or suppliers of products of larger size or sizes may be promoted through the use of models, visual
aids, or appropriate trade literature.
C.
Exhibitors may not dispense food or beverages in the exhibition hall.
XII. Security
Exhibit room containing display tables will not be secured during hours when exhibits are not open.
XIII. Liability
Exhibitors agree to protect, save, and keep the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association and the Meeting Hotel forever
harmless for any damage or charges imposed for violations of any law or ordinance whether occasioned by the negligence
of the exhibitor or those holding under the exhibitor, as well as to strictly comply with the applicable terms and conditions
contained in the agreement between Exhibit Hall and C.A.S.A. regarding the exhibition premises; and, further, each exhibitor shall at all times protect, indemnify, save, and keep harmless the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association and the
Meeting Hall or Hotel, against and from any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense from or out of, or by reason
of, any accident or other occurrence to anyone, including the exhibitor, its agents, employees, and business invitees, which
arises from or out of, or by reason of, said exhibitor’s occupancy and the use of the exhibit premises or any part thereof.
XIV. Cancellation of Exhibit Space
Cancellations will not be accepted after the deadline date. The exhibitor is responsible for the total booth rental irrespective of cancellation, including cancellation by the exhibitor because of a failure of an exhibit to arrive for any reason.
XV. Cancellation of Exhibit or Annual Meeting
Should any emergency arise prior to the opening date of the C.A.S.A. Annual Meeting and Seminar, which would prevent
its scheduled opening, such as strikes, destruction, or damage of the exhibit hall, acts of God, etc., or a declaration of war,
the C.A.S.A. will be free from any recourse or liability.
