The Organiser is the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. The Exhibitor is the company that signs and submits the application for space. All communication regarding exhibition space must be channelled through the
ESCRS and orders for exhibition space will only be accepted on the official exhibition reservation form.

The rent per square metre in the exhibition area is €350 and this covers the cost of booth space only. Technical files outlining details of shell schemes and other services will be sent to Exhibitors in November 2007.

• A deposit of 25% of the total cost of the exhibition space is due on or before 28 September 2007
• Full payment for booth space is due by 31 December 2007
• In the event that full payment has not been received by 31 December 2007, the Organiser reserves the right to reallocate booth space.

All Exhibitors will be listed in the Final Programme, provided booth space has been reserved and paid for before the programme goes to print. The Organiser is not responsible for errors or omissions in the programme. The Final Programme will be distributed to all attendees at the Congress.

The Organiser reserves the right to alter the present regulations with immediate effect in the event that orders from the Authorities or other compelling reasons might make it necessary.

The Organiser shall be entitled to alter the space rented by the Exhibitor and to undertake limitations of the rented area. Such limitations can only be made against a corresponding reduction of the booth rental but shall not render the
Organiser liable to pay compensation.

Furthermore, the Organiser shall be entitled, within thirty days after the receipt of the signed application and deposit, without assigning any reason and without incurring liability to damage, to cancel the lease entered into against reimbursing any booth rental paid at the time of cancellation. Exhibitors are not
permitted to sublet their booth or lend it to a third party in part or whole. Exhibitors may not exchange booths without the written consent of the Organiser.

Notification of cancellation of exhibition space must be received in writing by the Organiser on or before 31 December 2007. If notification of a cancellation is received prior to 31 December 2007, an administration fee of 10% of the total cost of the booth will be incurred – e.g. for a ten square metre
booth costing €3,500, the penalty incurred will be €350. If notification of a cancellation of booth space is received after 31 December 2007 no refund will be made.

Special arrangements, if any, between the Organiser and the Exhibitor which are not included in the agreement shall only be binding when accepted in writing by the Organiser.
