In no event shall VCS be liable to EXHIBITOR or to any other party for special, collateral, exemplary, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages. Such excluded damages include but are not limited to loss of profits, loss of use, interruption of business or other consequential or indirect economic issues. SHIPPING & HANDLING TERMS & CONDITIONS INBOUND AND OUTBOUND TRAFFIC SCHEDULES are the responsibility of VCS. To assure orderly and expeditious handling of exhibit material into and out of the convention hall, it is suggested that exhibitors, including local companies, clear all movement of material through VCS, who is prepared to handle local pick-ups and deliveries on a coordinated schedule. PACKAGING AND CRATES. VCS shall not be responsible for damage to loose or uncrated materials, pad‐wrapped or shrink‐wrapped materials, glass breakage, concealed damage, carpets in bags or poly or improperly packed materials. In addition, VCS shall not be responsible for crates and packaging which are unsuitable for handling, in poor condition or have prior damage. Crates and packaging should be of a design to adequately protect contents for handling by forklift and similar means. VCS shall not be responsible for loss, theft, or disappearance of exhibitor’s materials after same has been delivered to exhibitor’s booth. STORING EMPTY CONTAINERS. For all exhibitors using VCS material handling services, properly labeled empty shipping containers will be picked up from your booth space and stored. They will be returned to you as quickly as possible following the close of the show. Depending on the size of the show, it can take between two and twelve hours to return all empty containers. Please plan accordingly. Empty Container Labels are available from the VCS Exhibitor Service Desk on show site. Do not store any materials or valuable in containers marked "empty." Empty crate storage should not be considered secure storage. VCS has no liability for loss or damage to crates or containers or the contents therein while containers are in storage. INBOUND SHIPMENTS. All shipments must have a bill-of-lading or delivery receipt showing number of pieces, true weight, and description of merchandise. If shipments arrive without weight on bill-of-lading and weight is unobtainable, VCS will estimate the weight. If actual scale weights are not submitted prior to move-out the estimated weight will be final and binding. All shipments received are subject to reweigh. Copies of bills-of-lading, with the name of the carrier, should be forwarded to VCS as soon as shipments are made. This will assist in tracing, if required. Confirm delivery date and time with your carrier and have all necessary shipping information in the hands of your on-site representative. Be sure your on-site representative knows who to call to track your shipment should it not arrive at your anticipated time. VCS shall not be liable for shipments received without individual freight bills, such as UPS, FedEx or other carriers who deliver in bulk and do not wait for shipment count and condition to be verified for individual shipments. Such shipments will be subject to verification and correction of count and condition and VCS's receiving paperwork indicating any exceptions as delivered shall take precedence over shipper's signature of receipt. Shipments received without receipts or freight bills such as UPS or FedEx or US Mail will be delivered to the booth without guarantee of piece count or condition. No liability will be assumed for such shipments. Consistent with trade show industry practices, there may be a lapse of time between delivery of shipments to the booth and the arrival of the exhibitor or its representatives, and during such time the material will be left unattended. VCS will not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, theft, or disappearance of the exhibitor’s materials after same have been delivered to the exhibitor’s booth at the show site. Shipments received at the warehouse after scheduled exhibitor set-up or shipments received at show site after exhibitor move-in times, are subject to surcharges to cover additional trucking or labor and will be billed accordingly. OUTBOUND SHIPMENTS. Each outbound shipment must have a completed Bill of Lading accompanying the shipment. Exhibitors are responsible for labeling their exhibit materials and providing outbound shipping information. Bills of lading and shipping labels are available at the VCS service desk. We recommend that you prepare bills and labels ahead of time. Exhibitors selecting non-official carriers will need to make their own arrangements for pick-up. Pick-ups for local deliveries or small package shipments, i.e., UPS, FedEx and Parcel Post should be dealt with in the same manner as all other outbound shipments. When materials are labeled, packed and ready to be shipped, completed bills-of-lading should be turned in at the Service Desk. Consistent with trade show industry practices, there may be a lapse of time between the completion of packing and the actual pick‐up of materials from the booth for loading onto a carrier, and during such time the material will be left unattended. VCS shall not be responsible for loss, theft, or disappearance of materials before they are picked up from exhibitor’s booth for reloading after the show. An exhibitor representative should remain on-site to insure that your shipment is picked up. Alternatively, VCS recommends that the exhibitor engage security services from the facility or show management. Bills-of lading covering outgoing shipments will be checked at time of actual pickup from the booth and corrections made where discrepancies occur. In order to expedite removal of materials as required by show management and/or the facility, VCS shall have the authority and reserves the right to change the exhibitor designated carriers, if such carriers fail to pickup or refuse to accept shipments at the appointed time. VCS retains the right to dispose of materials left on the show floor without liability if left unattended, left without labels or not correctly labeled. Where no disposition is made by the exhibitor, materials may be taken to a warehouse to await exhibitor’s shipping instructions and the exhibitor agrees to be responsible for charges relating to such rerouting and handling. In no event shall VCS be responsible for any loss resulting from such rerouting or handling. Any shipments that remain on-site past the outbound shipping deadline may be forced on VCS's carrier of choice and the exhibitor billed accordingly. Shipments sent using VCS's account numbers and/or charges otherwise invoiced to VCS will result in a service fee to your account amounting to 30 percent of the carrier's total charges. Use of VCS Freight Handling services authorizes VCS to pay outbound freight charges for your shipments by any carrier using the credit card on file for your company. DELIVERY TO THE CARRIER FOR RELOADING. VCS assumes no responsibility for loss, damage, theft or disappearance of exhibitor’s materials after same have been delivered to exhibitor’s appointed carrier, shipper or agent for transportation after the conclusion of the show. VCS loads materials onto the carrier under directions from the carrier or driver of that carrier. Any loading onto the carrier will be understood to be under the exclusive supervision and control of the carrier or driver of that carrier. VCS assumes no responsibility or liability for loss, damage, theft or disappearance of exhibitor’s materials that is caused by, arises out of or related to improperly loaded materials. INSURANCE. You may want to consider insuring your shipment, the contents of your shipment, and have sufficient coverage to compensate you for loss of business should your shipment encounter difficulty en route. Contact your insurance agent to determine the type of coverage you may need. Many companies offer "trade show" coverage that addresses these eventualities. DAMAGE. Relative to shipments consigned to VCS's warehouse, VCS will exercise all possible diligence and care in receiving, handling, and transporting your shipment. VCS shall not be liable for loss or damage from fire, natural disaster or contingencies beyond the control of VCS. In any case, the liability of VCS is limited to $0.30 per pound with a maximum of $50.00 per item, and a maximum of $1,000.00 per shipment while exhibitor goods are in VCS's warehouse or VCS-owned and operated vehicles for delivery to show-site. RETURNED SHIPMENTS TO VCS WAREHOUSE. Where no disposition has been made for outbound shipments or later scheduled pickups are necessary; VCS will return exhibit materials to the warehouse and load on outbound carriers at the rate of $39 per CWT (with a minimum charge of $78) for each shipment returned. Storage is available for $0.50 per cubic foot per month with a monthly minimum of $32. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE SERVICES. Rates quoted in the MATERIAL HANDLING SERVICE ORDER FORM do not include any un-packing, un-crating, un-skidding, positioning, leveling, blocking, spotting, bracing, installing, dismantling, re-packing, re-crating or re-skidding.

Delivery and pick up times for trade shows often fall outside of "normal" delivery hours. Make sure your carrier is committed to and capable of meeting target dates and times. Make sure to plan not only for your shipment to the show but for your return shipment as well. Estimated Material Handling Charges: Material Handling charges are based on the weight of the freight. Shipments are billed in increments of 100 pounds and are rounded up to the nearest hundred. There is a minimum of 200 lbs. on most shipments. Please refer to the Material Handling Estimate Sheet for pricing details. Crated and uncrated shipments must be separated on individual Bills of Lading with separate weight tickets. Failure to separate crated and uncrated shipments will result in the entire shipment being classified and charged at the uncrated / special handling rate. Crated Materials are materials that are skidded, crated or are in any type of container that can be unloaded at dock level with no additional handling required. Uncrated / Special Handling Materials are materials that are loose, not skidded, pad wrapped, cannot be unloaded at dock level or any item without proper lifting bars or hooks. Off Target Surcharges may apply to shipments that arrive before or after the Advance Delivery dates or before or after the Direct Delivery dates and times. Off Target Surcharges may also apply to shipments that arrive with incomplete or inaccurate documentation, including Bills of Lading, certified weight certificates, incorrect consignee information, improper booth number, etc. Shipping Charges: Please prepay all shipping charges. VCS reserves the right to refuse or to receive collect shipments. In cases where VCS elects to receive collect shipments, VCS will add an additional thirty percent (30%) charge to the amount of the collect freight bill for handling and processing. A $10 minimum fee will apply for this service. The responsible exhibitor or shipper will be notified and full payment of all charges due must be made within 24 hours and prior to delivery to booth. Consignment: All shipments must be consigned C/O Veal Convention Services to enable us to accept them for handling. The convention complex may not accept direct shipments for lack of facilities for receiving or storing freight. Bills of Lading: A bill of lading or delivery documentation should accompany all shipments. Upon shipping, send bill of lading with weight, number of pieces and content to VCS and your on-site representative. All shipments must have certified weight receipts, as handling charges are based on the weight of the shipment. If no weight is attached, charges will be based on an estimated weight and no adjustments will be made. Unloading Equipment/ Labor: Labor and equipment for receiving your freight is included in the freight handling charge. Labor and equipment for uncrating, assembling, installing, dismantling and repacking is available to exhibitors. Please see the “Installation and Dismantling Labor Order Form” to place your order. Shipments Requiring Special Handling: Shipments requiring special handling will be subject to a surcharge as indicated on the freight rate schedule. This classification shall be applied to, but not limited to, van shipments or shipments which are packed in such a manner as to require unloading by hand (i.e. loose display parts, uncrated equipment not delivered on a flatbed truck, etc.) The standard material handling applies to shipments that can be readily handed off or onto a truck using a conventional forklift or pallet jack equipment without rehandling. A special handling charge applies if your shipment requires extra labor for stacking or unstacking containers on a truck (cubic loading), tarping or untarping freight or containers, or rigging pieces for loading or unloading on a truck from the ground. VCS and its subcontractors shall not be liable for ordinary wear and tear in handling of freight, or any damage incurred during the handling of freight requiring special devices to properly load, place or reload unless a ten day advance notice has been given to VCS in time to obtain the proper equipment.
