The exhibition floor plan is drawn by the organizer according to the structure of the exhibition hall. The contract signed between the exhibitor and the organizer must specify the booth number, area, type, fees, and payment method.
If the exhibitor fails to make the payment as stipulated in the contract, the organizer has the right to refuse to extend or cancel the booth requirements specified in the contract.
All booth selection will follow the principle of "first payment, first selection," but the organizer reserves the right to make the final booth allocation based on the classification of the exhibitors' products.
The dimensions and arrangement of the floor plan and booths are as accurate as possible, but the organizer may make changes to the floor plan or booth arrangement if deemed necessary.
If the products displayed by the exhibitor do not match the exhibits submitted in the contract, or if the exhibits are not within the scope specified by the organizer, or if the exhibitor engages in retail activities at the exhibition site, the organizer has the right to cancel their booth and order the removal of the exhibits from the exhibition site without refunding the exhibition fees.
The organizer reserves the right at any time to cancel the exhibition, reduce the scale of the exhibition, change the venue, split the exhibition into one or more exhibitions, merge multiple exhibitions into one, extend, shorten, or reschedule the exhibition.
If the exhibitor violates any obligations specified in this contract, including but not limited to respecting the organizer's rights and legally protected content and interests, the organizer has the right to revoke the booth and the exhibitor shall pay the organizer a penalty equivalent to the exhibition fee.
If the exhibitor fails to fulfill their payment obligations to the organizer or violates the exhibition terms regarding the use of the exhibition site, they will no longer be entitled to participate in the exhibition, and the organizer has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract.
Exhibitors are not allowed to arbitrarily terminate or cancel any agreed booth or related services in this contract. If the exhibitor unilaterally terminates or cancels the contract:

In such cases, the exhibitor is not entitled to terminate or cancel the contract, nor can they make any other claims, especially for damages, against the organizer.
Exhibitors guarantee that their exhibits, packaging, and related public materials do not infringe or violate any third-party rights, including trademark rights, copyrights, designs, names, and registered or unregistered patents. The organizer is not responsible for verifying whether the products infringe on others' intellectual property rights. Disputes arising from intellectual property issues are the sole responsibility of the exhibitor and are unrelated to the organizer.
If the exhibits, printed materials, promotional materials, or other items of the exhibitor are infringed upon by other exhibitors, the organizer has the right to remove or confiscate the infringing exhibits, printed materials, or promotional materials from the exhibition.
Only individuals authorized by the organizer and holding valid credentials are allowed to photograph, sketch, or videotape in the exhibition hall. Violators may be required to hand over recorded materials and may face further legal action.

Exhibitor badge information must be submitted to the organizer ten days before the start date of the exhibition; otherwise, the organizer will charge RMB 50 per badge. All exhibitor badges are numbered, non-transferable, and cannot be given or sold to unauthorized third parties.
The organizer reserves the right to interpret, change, and revise any part of these terms and conditions, and to issue additional rules (including but not limited to the "Exhibitor Manual" issued by the organizer and the "Exhibition Hall Manual" issued by the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center) as deemed necessary to ensure the normal conduct of the exhibition.
Without special approval from the organizer, exhibitors are not allowed to dismantle or remove their booths or exhibits before the official end time on the last day of the exhibition.
Exhibitors may only distribute promotional materials within their booth area and are not allowed to advertise, demonstrate, or solicit business in any other part of the exhibition venue. Exhibits and advertising signs must not be placed outside their booth.
