ATT Expo Market Sponsorship Terms & Conditions
By submitting a sponsorship application, checking the "I Agree to the Sponsorship Terms & Conditions" box, and completing payment, the Sponsor agrees to the following Terms & Conditions.
1. Sponsorship Confirmation
Sponsorship opportunities are offered on a first-paid, first-confirmed basis and are subject to availability. A sponsorship is considered confirmed only after the application has been submitted, these Terms & Conditions have been accepted, and full payment has been successfully processed.
ATT Expo Market reserves the right to approve or decline any sponsorship application that does not align with the event's objectives, policies, or existing sponsorship commitments. If a sponsorship cannot be accepted, any payment received will be refunded in full.
2. Payment
Full payment is required at the time of sponsorship selection unless otherwise approved in writing by ATT Expo Market.
Failure to complete payment will result in the sponsorship package remaining available for purchase by other organizations.
3. Sponsorship Benefits
Sponsors will receive the benefits associated with their selected sponsorship package as published at the time of purchase.
Benefits are specific to the selected package and may not be transferred, exchanged, substituted, or assigned without the written consent of ATT Expo Market.
4. Marketing Materials
Sponsors are responsible for providing all requested logos, advertisements, artwork, website links, social media information, and other promotional materials by the published deadlines.
ATT Expo Market is not responsible for omitted or modified sponsorship benefits resulting from late, incomplete, or incorrect submissions.
5. Sponsor Activations
Sponsors participating in on-site activations, demonstrations, product sampling, giveaways, displays, or staffed experiences are solely responsible for supplying, staffing, operating, and removing those activities unless otherwise agreed in writing.
All sponsor activities must comply with venue rules, event policies, and all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
6. Sponsorship Exclusivity
Certain sponsorship opportunities include exclusive category rights.
ATT Expo Market reserves the sole right to define sponsor categories, determine category conflicts, and approve or deny sponsorships to preserve the quality and integrity of the event.
7. Cancellation & Event Changes
All sponsorship payments are non-refundable.
If the Sponsor cancels participation after payment has been received, no refund or credit will be issued.
If an event is postponed, the sponsorship will automatically transfer to the rescheduled event.
If ATT Expo Market must cancel or substantially modify an event due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control—including, but not limited to, severe weather, natural disasters, government actions, public health emergencies, labor disputes, venue closures, or other force majeure events—ATT Expo Market may transfer the sponsorship to a future event or provide comparable promotional benefits of equal value.
8. Changes to Sponsorship Benefits
ATT Expo Market reserves the right to make reasonable modifications to sponsorship placements, schedules, marketing opportunities, activation locations, or other benefits when necessary for operational, venue, safety, or logistical reasons.
If a specific sponsorship benefit becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond ATT Expo Market's control, a comparable benefit of equal value may be substituted.
9. Use of Sponsor Name & Logo
The Sponsor grants ATT Expo Market permission to use its company name, logo, trademarks, website, and approved marketing materials for purposes related to promoting the event and the Sponsor's participation before, during, and after the event.
10. Photography & Marketing Release
The Sponsor grants ATT Expo Market and its authorized representatives permission to photograph, video record, and otherwise capture images of the Sponsor's company name, logo, booth, displays, products, promotional materials, staff, and event activations during the event.
The Sponsor further grants ATT Expo Market a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, display, and edit such photographs, videos, and recordings for advertising, marketing, sponsorship materials, social media, websites, printed publications, and future ATT Expo Market promotional campaigns without additional notice or compensation.
11. Insurance & Liability
Sponsors are responsible for maintaining any insurance they deem appropriate for their participation and for complying with any insurance requirements established by the event venue.
ATT Expo Market is not responsible for loss, theft, damage, or injury involving Sponsor property, products, equipment, displays, staff, or representatives.
12. Indemnification
The Sponsor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ATT Expo Market, its owners, employees, contractors, volunteers, venues, and representatives from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising from the Sponsor's participation, products, services, employees, contractors, displays, promotional activities, or negligence.
13. Code of Conduct
Sponsors agree to conduct business professionally and respectfully toward attendees, exhibitors, staff, volunteers, and other sponsors.
ATT Expo Market reserves the right to remove or terminate any sponsor whose conduct, products, promotions, or activities are deemed unsafe, unlawful, misleading, disruptive, offensive, or inconsistent with the character of the event. No refund will be issued in such cases.
14. Governing Law
These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles.
15. Acceptance
By checking the "I Agree to the Sponsorship Terms & Conditions" box, submitting the sponsorship application, and completing payment, the Sponsor acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions.
