In case of cancellation of any orders or services by EXHIBITOR, a one-hour "per person, per hour" charge will be applied for all labor orders that are not canceled in writing at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled start time. If Custom-Cut Carpet, Modular Rental Exhibits and any other custom-order items or services have already been provided at the time of cancellation, fees will remain at 100% of the original charge.

HOLLINS reserves the right to charge EXHIBITOR for the difference between the EXHIBITOR's estimate of charges and the actual charges incurred by EXHIBITOR, or for any charges that HOLLINS may be obligated to pay on behalf of EXHIBITOR, including without limitation, any shipping charges. If EXHIBITOR provides a credit card for payment and charges are rejected by the EXHIBITOR's credit card company for any reason, HOLLINS hereby provides notice that it reserves the right, and EXHIBITOR authorizes HOLLINS, to continue to attempt to secure payment through that credit card for as long as unpaid balances remain on the EXHIBITOR's account.</p>
