  1. IP Enforcement Policy:

In an effort to ensure any claims or disputes by Exhibitor, Partner,
or Sponsors at the Event (or in the time period prior to the Event) are handled in a non-disruptive manner, the Organizer hereby agrees to provide all Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsors at the Event with the services of an intellectual property mediator (“IP Mediator”) after the Event. Following the Event, IP Mediator will provide assistance to Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsors, by evaluating potential intellectual property infringement claims and will work closely with the Organizer to issue any Sanctions (as defined below), if necessary.

The Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor understands and agrees that the IP Mediator is a neutral party enlisted to mediate and settle disputes between Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsors, related to intellectual property or proprietary rights, as well as any violation of the Rules. Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor understands and agrees that all decisions made by the IP Mediator are final, and shall not be subject to appeal or challenge. The Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor understands and agrees that, at the Event and in the time period leading up to the Event, any Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor (“Complaining Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor”) may lodge with IP Mediator a complaint against any other Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor (“Defending Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor”), which after investigation may result in the Sanctions by the IP Mediator or the Association at the Event. IP Mediator’s evaluation of such a complaint will be free of charge to the Complaining Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor. Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor understands and agrees that the enforcement action or sanctions (“Sanctions”) shall be issued by IP Mediator and/or the Association in their sole discretion and may include but shall not be limited to:

  • The removal of any digital content (“Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor Content”),
  • The shutdown of an Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor’s virtual event booth
  • Restrictions on access or services provided by the Organizer,
  • A loss of membership to the Organizer; or
  • A ban from any future show or event. The Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor understands and agrees that any determination by IP Mediator and/ or the Organizer to issue any Sanctions is not a legal determination that any intellectual property infringement or violation has occurred; instead, Sanctions shall be issued
    • To enforce the rules and guidelines at the Event, including the Rules;
    • When IP Mediator believes that the display of any Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor Content is potentially infringing on another Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or when IP Mediator and/or Organizer believes that any Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor Content is disruptive to the Event. In exchange for being permitted to exhibit at the Event and also for the services described above, Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor agrees as follows:
      • That Organizer is not responsible or liable for any claimed or recognized violations of the Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, including any claims for trademark, copyright or patent infringement or any claims of counterfeiting or other violations of proprietary rights.
      • That the Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor will abide by any and all intellectual property laws, rules or guidelines, including the Rules, whether imposed by national or local laws or by the Organizer as part of its ownership and/or management of the Event.
      • That the IP Mediator and the Organizer have no obligation to enforce or act on the behalf of the Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor and that both IP Mediator and Association may, in their sole discretion, determine whether to issue Sanctions or take any action in any case, depending on the facts presented by the Complaining Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor. Nothing herein obligates IP Mediator or Association to take any action or issue any Sanctions.
      • Not to display Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor Content that violates or potentially violates the intellectual property or proprietary rights of another Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor at the Event or that is otherwise disruptive to another Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor. Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor hereby further agrees that the Association and/ or its IP Mediator may determine—in their sole and complete discretion—whether to issue the Sanctions described herein.
      • To comply with any Sanctions issued by IP Mediator and/or the Organizer. Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor further understands that its refusal to comply with any issued Sanctions may result in further action by Association, which may include the issuance of additional Sanctions or another action as determined by Organizer in its sole discretion.
      • That a failure by Exhibitor, Partner, or Sponsor to abide by any Sanctions imposed by IP Mediator and/or the Organizer may lead to additional Sanctions imposed by Organizer.
      • That any claim of infringement made to IP Mediator or the Association shall be made with the good faith intent to enforce owned or licensed intellectual property or proprietary rights, and not solely in an effort to disrupt or impact another party’s ability to operate.
      • EXHIBITOR, PARTNER, OR SPONSOR AGREES TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ASSOCIATION, IP MEDIATOR, AND THEIR AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASED PARTIES”) FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR LIABILITIES RELATED TO: (i) A CLAIM OR DETERMINATION THAT A VIOLATION OF THE RULES HAS OCCURRED; (ii) A CLAIM OR DETERMINATION THAT ANY EXHIBITOR, PARTNER, OR SPONSOR CONTENT IS INFRINGING, POTENTIALLY INFRINGING, OR OTHERWISE DISRUPTIVE TO THE EVENT; OR (iii) ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DETERMINATION ISSUED BY THE IP MEDIATOR, ITS AGENT OR CONTRACTOR, OR THE ASSOCIATION RELATED TO ACTIVITY AT THE EVENT. TO BE CLEAR, SUCH RELEASE OF LIABILITY WILL INCLUDE ANY CLAIMS OF TRADE LIBEL, DEFAMATION, UNFAIR COMPETITION, OR NEGLIGENCE RELATED TO ANY DETERMINATION MADE AT THE EVENT BY THE RELEASED PARTIES.
