petitioner. These contracts were signed by a representative of
the exhibitor and a sales person employed by petitioner. 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;
