The contracts provided that if the exhibitor were to cancel the contract, petitioner would retain all payments received as liquidated damages. Generally, petitioner’s employees handled all contacts with potential trade show exhibitors located outside the former Soviet Union. In some cases, a potential exhibitor from outside the former Soviet Union would instruct petitioner’s employees to contact the exhibitor’s business agent in Russia; in such a case, employees of Crocus would contact the business agent to see whether that company wished to participate in the foreign trade show. However, in those cases, petitioner still collected the exhibition fees. Crocus supplied some or all of the following services to exhibitors at foreign trade shows: Security (general, overnight, and special); exhibit construction (including design assistance, furniture assembly, and exhibition assembly and mounting); exhibit maintenance and cleaning; exhibit demolition (including exhibit dismantling, transportation, and storage); trade show plumbing, electric, and telecommunications services (including installation and connection of exhibit lighting, telephones, and faxes); trade show exhibitor relations (including hotel and automobile assistance); trade show food and beverages services;Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
