Full payment, including any applicable tax, is due in advance or at the show site. All payments must be in U.S. funds and all checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank. Orders received without advance payment or after the deadline date may incur additional after-deadline charges. All materials and equipment provided to You are on a rental basis for the duration of the show or event and remain the property of Us and Our Partners, except where specifically identified as a sale. All rentals include delivery, installation, and removal from EXHIBITOR’S booth. If any order items or services have already been provided at the time of cancellation, fees will remain at 100% of the original charge.

All goods or services sold to You or at Your request on another’s behalf are to be invoiced to You first. Failure to make payment may result in payment being due by any and all parties you request goods/services on behalf of at any time. You agree to get full, authorized, valid, legal consent to the entirety of these contractual terms for any parties you conduct business on behalf of with Us. Conducting business on behalf of another party or parties with Us is considered full, authorized, valid, and legal consent to these contractual terms in their entirety. You and all parties that You conduct business on behalf are jointly and severally liable for the costs of all business transactions each party was involved in; this includes late, collection, attorneyss’, and court/arbitration fees.

If the event is canceled because of reasons beyond Our control, You remain responsible for all charges for services and equipment provided up to and including the date of cancellation. We will not issue refunds to You of any payments made before the date of cancellation; fees incurred before the date of cancelation cannot be awarded by litigation or arbitration; You agree to waive your right to refund any fees incurred before and including the day of cancellation. 

It is Your responsibility to advise Us in writing of problems with any orders, and to check Your invoice for accuracy prior to the close of the event. If You are exempt from payment of sales tax, We require an exemption certificate for the State in which the services are to be used. Resale certificates are not valid unless You are rebilling these charges to its customers. 

For International Clients, We require 100% prepayment of orders, and any order or services placed at the show site must be paid at the show. For all others, should there be any pre-approved, unpaid balance after the close of the show; terms will be net, due, and payable in Clio, Michigan upon receipt of invoice.

Effective 30 days after the invoice date, any unpaid balance will bear a finance charge at the lesser of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, or 1.5% per month, which is an annual percentage rate of 18%, and future orders will be on a prepaid basis only. If any finance charge hereunder exceeds the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, the finance charge shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate allowed, and any excess finance charge received by Us shall be either applied to reduce the principal, unpaid balance or refunded to the payer at Our discretion. If We return excess payment on a finance charge and return the funds to the payer, You are still responsible for all further and greater incurring charges and fees that may have been lesser or reduced if We applied the payment to the principal, unpaid balance.

If past due invoices or invoice balances are placed with a collection agency or attorney for collection or suit, You agree to pay all legal and collection costs. These payment terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Michigan. In the event of any dispute between You and Us relative to any loss, damage, or claim, You shall not be entitled to and shall not withhold payment, or any partial payment, due to Us for Our services, as an offset against the amount of any alleged loss or damage. Any claims against Us shall be considered a separate transaction, and shall be resolved on its own merits.

We reserve the right to charge You for the difference between the estimate of charges and the actual charges incurred for material handling, labor time & materials, utility services or equipment usage, or for any charges that We may be obligated to pay on behalf of You, including without limitation, any shipping charges, cleaning charges, disposal charges, incurred fees, etc. 

If You provide a credit card for payment, We hereby provide notice that We reserve the right, and You authorize Us, to continue to attempt to secure payment through that credit card, and any other on file, for as long as unpaid balances remain on Your account. Unpaid balances include, but are not limited to, the contract balance, additional fees incurred on top of the contracted price, late fees, labor costs, etc. In the event that a third party orders on Your behalf and the named third party does not discharge payment of the invoice prior to the last day of the show, charges will revert back to You. All invoices are due and payable upon receipt by either party. You agree these Payment terms supersede any prior or post-made agreements naming the responsible party for payment.
