The Event Manager, Exhibitor and owner take full responsibility for the animal(s).

The Event Manager must sign an acknowledgement letter indemnifying and defending the Javits Center in the event of personal injury, death or damage to property resulting from such animals.
The Event Manager or Exhibitor must provide the Javits Center with:
Health certificates for each animal and Up-to-date Veterinary records, including shots, for each animal.
