3. aRRangEmEnt oF EXhIBIt spaCEAfter the application deadline, the Exhibition Management will take charge of arranging the available floor area to meet the space requests of exhibitors as closely as possible. The relevant factors for the ranking of an exhibitor in the booth allocation process are:

- date of receipt of application for floor space- date of receipt of payment of 1st installment (based only on the part-payment invoice sent by MAW)- ESR Supporting Membership (ESR 4-Star Supporting Members are granted preferred booth choice)- booth size- collaboration within ESR/ECR projects

The preferences indicated on the application form serve for guidance only and cannot be guaranteed by the Exhibition Management. Placement demands as a condition of registration on the part of the exhibitor cannot be recognized; furthermore the requested floor space may be changed by the Exhibition Management.an exhibitor will only be considered for booth allocation upon receipt of payment of the 1st installment (70% of rental sum).

4. ContRaCt anD REmIttanCE / paYmEnt tERmsSubmitting the Application Form does not constitute a formal agreement that the exhibitor is admitted to the exhibition.

If the exhibitor requests to have an invoice changed, after the respective invoice has already been issued and sent (by e-mail or courier), an administration fee of € 70.- will be charged automatically to the new invoice recipient.

Refund of any overpayments will only be settled with the exhibitor after the end of the congress.Deadline for payment of the 1st installment (70% of the rental sum): upon receipt of the part-payment invoicefor early rate: payment must be received on the maW account by may 29, 2011Deadline for payment of the 2nd and final installment (30% + corner(s) if applicable): upon receipt of the final invoice for floor space by october 31, 2011

For late applications received after October 31, 2011 the full floor space fee will be invoiced and is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice. Space will only be reserved and the exhibitor will only be considered for booth allocation upon receipt of this payment.

The given dimensions of floor space and stands are approximate. The Exhibition Management reserves the right to change the dimensions in order to use the available exhibition area most efficiently and in order to adjust the stands to the layout of the exhibition halls.Prices charged are however based on the actual dimensions; if more floor space than ordered is later allotted and actually used, the fee for it is to be paid immediately.

The Exhibition Management preserves the right to demand changes in such stands or exhibits if safety regulations, technical require-ments or the responsibility of preserving or obtaining the best possible overall image for the exhibition, as judged by the Exhibition Management, should so require.

Any company which disobeys the directives of the Exhibition Manage-ment can be excluded immediately from the exhibition by the Exhibi-tion Management. Such companies are liable for the whole rental sum and for all incidental expenses including the legal value added tax. The exhibitor gives up all claim to contestation of the contract especially in cases of mistakes and in cases in which the value of the contract exceeds or falls short of half the true value.

All oral agreements, special permissions and special arrangements are valid only upon receipt of written confirmation.

Ad hoc measures:

Should the contracting party or its authorized representative leave before or during the event or should both be out of reach, the Exhibi-tion Management shall be authorized to take all measures it may

deem expedient without having to give prior notice thereof to the contracting party and shall do so on the liability and at the risk and expense of the contracting party.

The exhibitor understands that the ECR Exhibitors’ Rules and Regula-tions/Terms and Conditions of Participation are an integral and bind-ing part of the contract for exhibit space and agrees to comply with same.

In all cases of litigation it is agreed to by the exhibitor that the com-petence of the duly authorized court in Vienna, Austria is recognized. Electively the Exhibition Management may choose to appeal to the competent court in whose jurisdiction the exhibitor falls. Austrian law is to be used.
