Exhibit set up: All exhibiting companies must comply with the Exhibit Construction Guidelines established by Blackboard.

Character of Exhibit: Blackboard has full discretion and authority over the appropriateness of any exhibit and/ or the appearance of all items displayed by Sponsor and to decline to permit any Sponsor to conduct or maintain an exhibit if, in the sole judgment of Blackboard, said Sponsor or exhibit or proposed exhibit shall, in any respect, be deemed unsuitable. This reservation relates to persons, conduct, articles or merchandise, printed matter, souvenirs or catalogs without limitation, which might negatively affect the character of the exposition. In the event that Blackboard determines that the conduct of any of Sponsor’s its employees, agents and/or servants, is not in keeping with the character of the exposition, Blackboard may, at any time and in its sole discretion, without notice, terminate the contract for space entered into with said exhibit and, with or without process of law, remove Sponsor, its employees,
