IP Enforcement Policy: In an effort to ensure any claims or disputes by Exhibitors at the Event (or in the time period prior to the Event) are handled in a nondisruptive manner, IAAPA hereby agrees to provide all exhibitors at the Event with the services of an intellectual property mediator ("IP Mediator"). At the Event and in the time period leading up to the Event, IP Mediator will provide assistance to exhibitors by evaluating potential intellectual property infringement claims and will work closely with IAAPA to issue any Sanctions (as defined below), if necessary. The Exhibitor understands and agrees that the IP Mediator is a neutral party enlisted to mediate and settle disputes between exhibitors related to intellectual property or proprietary rights, as well as any violation of these Terms and Conditions. Exhibitor understands and agrees that all decisions made by the IP Mediator are final and shall not be subject to appeal or challenge. The Exhibitor understands and agrees that, at the Event and in the time period leading up to the Event, any exhibitor ("Complaining Exhibitor") may lodge with IP Mediator a complaint against any other exhibitor ("Defending Exhibitor"), which after investigation may result in the Sanctions by the IP Mediator or IAAPA at the Event. IP Mediator's evaluation of such a complaint will be free of charge to the Complaining Exhibitor. Exhibitor understands and agrees that the enforcement action or sanctions ("Sanctions") shall be issued by IP Mediator and/or IAAPA in their sole discretion and may include but shall not be limited to: (i) the removal of any item, product, catalog, photograph or image (whether in digital or print) material, URL, product or device ("Exhibitor Content"); (ii) the shutdown of an Exhibitor's booth (if any) at the Event; (iii) restrictions on access or services provided by IAAPA; (iv) a loss of membership to IAAPA; or (v) a ban from any future show or event. The Exhibitor understands and agrees that any determination by IP Mediator and/or IAAPA to issue any Sanctions is not a legal determination that any intellectual property infringement or violation has occurred; instead, Sanctions shall be issued (i) to enforce the rules and guidelines at the Event, including these Terms and Conditions; (ii) when IP Mediator believes that the display of any Exhibitor Content is potentially infringing on another exhibitor's intellectual property or proprietary rights; or (iii) when IP Mediator and/or IAAPA believes the display of any Exhibitor Content is disruptive to the Event. In exchange for being permitted to exhibit at the Event and also for the services described above, Exhibitor agrees as follows:

a. That IAAPA is not responsible or liable for any claimed or recognized violations of the Exhibitor'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.

b. That the Exhibitor will abide by any and all intellectual property laws, rules or guidelines, including these Terms and Conditions, whether imposed by national or local laws or by IAAPA as part of its ownership and/or management of the Event.

c. That the IP Mediator and IAAPA have no obligation to enforce or act on the behalf of the Exhibitor and that both IP Mediator and IAAPA 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. Nothing herein obligates IP Mediator or IAAPA to take any action or issue any Sanctions. 

d. Not to display Exhibitor Content that violates or potentially violates the intellectual property or proprietary rights of another exhibitor or that is otherwise disruptive to another exhibitor. Exhibitor hereby further agrees that IAAPA and/or its IP Mediator may determine - in their sole and complete discretion - whether to issue the Sanctions described herein.

e. To comply with any Sanctions issued by IP Mediator and/or IAAPA. Exhibitor further understands that its refusal to comply with any issued Sanctions may result in further action by IAAPA, which may include the issuance of additional Sanctions, or another action as determined by IAAPA in its sole discretion.

f. That a failure by Exhibitor to abide by any Sanctions imposed by IP Mediator and/or IAAPA may lead to additional Sanctions imposed by IAAPA.

g. That any claim of infringement made to IP Mediator or IAAPA 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.

h. EXHIBITOR AGREES TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS IAAPA, 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 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 IAAPA 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.

18. Disputes: Exhibitor hereby agrees that the exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute, claim, or demand related in any way to the enforcement or construction of the Contract will be decided by binding arbitration.
