Sponsorship

1. The RPSA Board reserves the right to accept or reject any application for sponsorship and allocate areas for displays (based on sponsorship package) regardless of any preference indicated by sponsor.
2. In the case of cancellation, notification in writing should be sent to the Sponsorship Officer. Unless that particular area of sponsorship is resold, the Board reserves the right to retain monies received.
3. The sponsor and its representatives is responsible for all personal injury, damage to property or other losses, liabilities or claims arising in connection with the sponsor’s participation at the conference. The Exhibitor will indemnify the Organisers in respect of any losses, liabilities or claims in respect thereof. The sponsor and its representatives agree to participate in events at their own risk and to take out adequate insurance in respect of all such losses, liabilities and claims.
4. Sponsors are to seek permission from the RPSA Board to provide additional benefits and services at events to participants and Board Members.
5. The Board reserves the right to change the benefits and arrangements, if exceptional circumstances demand. In the event of a change, the agreement to participate will remain in force as long as the Sponsorship Partner is informed at least two (2) weeks before the changes.
6. Late sponsorship payments may impact on your ability to use your sponsor benefits including events and associated materials.
7. The sponsorship packages are allocated as outlined and the decision of the RPSA Board will be final.
8. Where the sponsor has multiple services, eg legal advice and debt collection, the sponsor must nominate their main service area so as not to unreasonably preclude other sponsorship opportunities.
9. In the event that a sponsorship category is oversubscribed, the following criteria will be used in assessing sponsorship applications:

• date of receipt of application;
• alignment of the sponsor to the Local Government Sector; and
• prior commitment to the Association.
