Therefore, for acceptance of Exhibitor's application and participation in the Exhibition, the undersigned Exhibitor acknowledges and agrees that its participation in the show is solely at its own risk, and that it either carries insurance to guard against the risks described in the release, or it has determined to assume such risks without carrying insurance.

32. LA is entitled in the case of compelling reasons or acts of God to postpone, reschedule, shorten, or extend the exhibition without liability or obligation to the Exhibitor.
