October 26–28, 2016
The Mirage, Las Vegas
2016 TRADERS MARKET RULES AND REGULATIONS
By submitting the NAWLA Booth Rental Agreement, Exhibiting
company(s) (hereinafter, ‘Exhibitor(s)’) for itself and its employees,
representatives, agrees to abide by the following rules and by any
amendments that may be put into effect by the NAWLA Traders
Market Committee (hereinafter, ‘Management’), should your company
be approved as a 2016 NAWLA Traders Market Exhibitor.
Official Show Management
NAWLA Headquarters staff will orchestrate management of the
Traders Market, acting as a liaison between the NAWLA Board of
Directors and Committees and the Exhibitors and all official show
contractors. Hereafter, NAWLA Headquarters staff shall be known
as Show Management. If you have any questions about your exhibit
booth space, contact Show Management directly at 312.673.5877 or
[email protected].
Who may exhibit / attend
NAWLA members who are ‘Manufacturers’ or ‘Wholesalers’ of
traditional wood products and/or engineered wood products
and complimentary building products are eligible to exhibit.
Complimentary building products are defined as materials made
of wood, wood fiber, agrifiber, cement-based products, including
concrete, blocks, and cementious sidings, polymer products, or
polymer-based composite products, as well as other products
which incorporate wood as an integral component of their design.
Also included in the category are coatings, fasteners, hangers,
house wrap and ventilation products, roofing, insulation, gypsum,
and any other products which the NAWLA Traders Market
Committee may determine are appropriate to the interest of
show attendees. Additionally, companies such as rail and truck
transportation providers, reload operators, remanufacturers with a
majority of revenues generated by processing wood on account,
prefinishers and importers are also eligible to exhibit, as are certain
Service Affiliates and non-members who would qualify as Service
Affiliate members of NAWLA. (Importer is defined as satisfying all
NAWLA wholesaler membership criteria, but with the majority of
dollar sales generated by selling forest products sourced offshore.)
Eligible non-members are only permitted to exhibit one year at the
Traders Market. After this single non-member exhibit opportunity,
companies must become NAWLA members to exhibit in the future.
No persons under 18 years of age will be admitted to the NAWLA
Traders Market. Management shall have sole control over admission
policies at all times.
Non-exhibiting manufacturers and service providers are not eligible to
attend. Only bona-fide wholesalers, as defined by the NAWLA Bylaws,
are invited to attend as non-exhibiting registrants.
*Management reserves the right to determine the eligibility of any
company or individual to exhibit or attend with regard to the character
and purpose of this event. Anything that could be perceived as a
poorly construed comparison to products offered by any other show
exhibitors would be in extremely bad taste and deemed inappropriate
for show use by the NAWLA Traders Market Committee.
Booth Limit
There is a limit of one booth per eligible company, except that there
are a limited number of double booths available to accommodate
companies that actually register and bring delegations of 7 persons or
more. In no case may booths be otherwise joined, shared, sublet, or
reassigned by any party other than NAWLA.
property, or lost shipments either coming in or going out, nor for
moving costs. Damage to inadequately packed property is Exhibitor’s
own responsibility. If exhibit fails to arrive, Exhibitor is nevertheless
responsible for exhibit space cost. Exhibitor is advised to ensure
against these risks.
Show Cancellation or Interruption
A complete schedule will be posted on our web site and will be
included in the Freeman Online Exhibitors Services Manual, which will
be sent out approximately 90 days prior to the show.
In the event the 2016 NAWLA Traders Market fails to take place as
scheduled or is interrupted and/or discontinued or access to the
premises is prevented or interfered with by reason of any strike,
lockout, injunction, act of war, act of God, acts of domestic or foreign
terrorism, emergency declared by any government agency for any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Association, the
exhibitor and delegate releases the Association from all damages and
claims for damages, and agrees that the sole liability of the Association
shall be to return to each exhibitor and delegate any registration fees
paid, less a prorated share of costs committed by the Association to
that time and date.
Security
Damage to Property
NAWLA will provide continuous security guard service from setup to
end of move-out and will exercise reasonable care for the protection of
materials and displays. Registrants possessing valid credentials will be
permitted entrance to the exhibit hall or to any other NAWLA Traders
Market function.
Exhibitor is liable for any damage caused to building floors, walls or
columns, or to standard booth equipment, or to another Exhibitor’s
property. Exhibitor may not apply paint, lacquer, adhesives or other
coating to building walls, columns or floors or to standard booth
equipment.
Exhibitor agrees that the provision of such security services constitutes
adequate discharge of all obligations of NAWLA to supervise and
protect Exhibitor’s property within the Exhibition. Exhibitor is advised
to see that its regular company insurance includes extraterritorial
coverage, and that it has its own theft, public liability, and property
damage insurance.
Payment Policy and Booth Assignment

from its occupancy of the space herein contracted for by reason
of personal injuries, death, property damages or any other cause
sustained by any persons or others.

displays or goods belonging to exhibitors, whether resulting from fire,
storms, acts of God, air conditioning or heating failure, theft, pilferage,
mysterious disappearance, bomb threats, domestic or international
terrorism, or other causes .All such items are brought to the Exhibition

When possible, sensitivity will be given to Exhibitor requests to be
physically separated from specified competitors.
The deposit of your check or the processing of your credit card do not
constitute contract acceptance. This agreement is not binding until

cancellations received by August 1, 2016, will be eligible for full refund
less a $200 administrative processing fee. After August 1, 2016 there
