<p style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Payment Policy</p>
<p><strong>Payment for Services</strong></p>
<p>GEMS requires payment in full at the time services are ordered. GEMS requires that you provide a credit card authorization with your initial order. For your convenience, we will use this authorization to charge your account for services which may include labor & material handling not covered by your first payment.</p>
<p>For your convenience, we will use this authorization to charge your credit card for any additional amounts ordered by your representative for products and services rendered to your company for this event.</p>
<p><strong>Method of Payment </strong></p>
<p>GEMS accepts MasterCard, VISA, Discover, American Express, & Check. Purchase orders are not considered payment. All payments must be made in U.S. Funds drawn on a U.S. Bank. Exhibitors will be charged a $25.00 fee for returned NSF checks.</p>
<p><strong>Third Party Billing </strong></p>
<p>Each exhibiting firm is ultimately responsible for all charges incurred on its behalf. GEMS reserves the right to institute collection action against the exhibitor if the authorized third party does not pay. See Third Party Billing Request form.</p>
<p><strong>Tax Exempt </strong></p>
<p>If you are tax exempt in the state in which you will be exhibiting, you must provide a Sales Tax Exemption Certificate for that state. Please send the above information with your orders for the show. GEMS must receive your certificate with your order; otherwise tax will appear on your invoice.</p>
<p><strong>Adjustments and Cancellations </strong></p>
<p>Adjustments to your invoice will not be made after the close of show. Some items, services and labor are subject to cancellation fees. Cancellation fees will apply if written notice of cancellation is not received within 15 business days of the show move-in. No credits will be issued after delivery or attempted delivery.</p>
