1. Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Exhibitor(s)” includes any company or entity registered by form or email to participate in a NAC event including the NAC2022 Conference and Expo event to serve as a Sponsor or Exhibitor, or both, for such event, together with any employees, agents, representatives, or independent contractors of Exhibitor, all of whom shall be governed by these Rules & Regulations. Exhibitor hereby agrees to abide by these Rules & Regulations, together with such additional rules and regulations as may be adopted by The National ATM Council, Inc.(NAC) and provided to Exhibitor from time to time in advance of the event.
 

2. Membership. In order to receive the member rate for sponsorship or exhibiting at the event, Exhibitor’s NAC membership dues must be current at the time of the event. If the membership dues are unpaid, membership lapses for any reason, or the company chooses to not renew its NAC membership, NAC has the right to charge the non-member rate for event participation.
 

3. Exhibitor Packet/Important Deadlines. Information for online access to the NAC2022 Exhibitor Packet will be emailed to the contact person for each Exhibitor. This information will include important deadlines for such items as logos and company descriptions; certificate of insurance requirements; show bag item delivery and contact information for the Exhibition Services Company and the Conference Venue. Exhibitor will need to review the Exhibitor Packet and emails from NAC and return all items on time to be included in all applicable Exhibitor benefits. A PDF version of the Exhibitor Packet will also be provided upon request.
 

4. Assignment of Exhibit Space. NAC assigns booth space to Medal, Event, Product, and other Sponsors based upon sponsorship category, contribution amount, and registration date priority within those categories. Following booth assignments to Event Sponsors, booth assignments are then made available to Exhibitors on a registration/payment time priority, first-come, first-served basis. NAC reserves the right to assign or relocate Exhibit areas or reconfigure the exhibition area for the betterment of the event, or otherwise in its sole discretion. NAC, in its sole discretion, will use reasonable efforts to ensure appropriate separation between competitors’ booth space location. Exhibit space assignment and priority in selection shall be conditional upon payment in full of all conference and membership amounts due and owing by Exhibitor. The Exhibit Hall layout map will be distributed to all Exhibitors in order of priority selection to enable space selection preferences to be made. Exhibit booth selection must be made in writing/by email to NAC in the time frame requested. 
 

5. Exhibitor Spaces. Exhibit space assigned to the Exhibitor is for the use of the named Exhibitor only. Exhibit space sharing, in whole or in part, with any other vendor or third party is expressly prohibited, except upon written permission of NAC prior to the event. Each exhibit space is intended for a single business entity only, to include that entity’s corporate affiliates. Exhibitors may not share booth space with an outside third party, absent prior written permission for such booth sharing from NAC. NAC reserves the right to assess a reasonable additional charge for any such booth space sharing arrangement at a rate of up to fifty percent (50%) of the otherwise applicable booth space rate. 
 

6. Exhibitor Badges. All conference badges/lanyards issued by NAC for Exhibitors shall be for the sole use of Exhibitor personnel or its IAD/ISO customer identified thereon, and in the same format as supplied in advance to NAC. Sharing of badges/lanyards with individuals or vendors other than the person named on the Exhibitor badge/lanyard is not permitted and is grounds for removal from the event. 
 

7. Terms of Payment. All registration forms submitted to NAC must be accompanied by the appropriate payment of the associated amounts due. Returned checks will result in a $50.00 returned check fee being assessed, and all future payments by that company or person must be by cash or debit card. To participate as an Exhibitor, payment must be received no less than one month prior to the event, unless other arrangements are approved in writing by NAC. 
 

8. Cancellation by Exhibitor. In the event Exhibitor cancels its participation in a NAC event covered by this Agreement, any fees paid or due and owing shall still be applicable and cannot be transferred to another future NAC or other event or applied to pay NAC dues.

Such acknowledgement and agreement by Exhibitor also constitute an express waiver and release of NAC, its officers, directors, and contracted staff from any and all COVID-19 related liability or damages.
