      risk and responsibility of the Exhibitor and the person or persons removing the exhibit shall at all times be deemed to be the agents of the Exhibitor and all acts and omissions on
      the part of such person or persons shall be deemed to be the acts and omissions of the Exhibitor. Without limiting the foregoing, the Exhibitor shall indemnify and keep

    awarding of prizes.

    1. a statement which is fraudulent, false, erroneous, misleading or deceptive, or likely to mislead or deceive has been made regarding an exhibit,
      whether or not the person ;making that statement was or ought to have been aware that the statement was fraudulent, false, erroneous, misleading or deceptive, or likely to mislead or deceive (as the case requires); or
    2. an exhibit has or may have been tampered with or otherwise improperly dealt with, then the exhibit and the Exhibitor or either of them may be dealt with in accordance with the applicable regulations.

    5. otherwise accommodating the Exhibitor or competitor affected by the exercise of the discretion, as required from time to time by principles of NATURAL JUSTICE. If the RAST elects in its absolute discretion to accord NATURAL JUSTICE to an Exhibitor or competitor then the RAST shall unilaterally determine the content and extent of that NATURAL JUSTICE and notify the same to the Exhibitor or competitor.
  9. The RAST reserves the right to rule at any time that any exhibit, Exhibitor or competitor may not compete. This right remains notwithstanding the RAST’s acceptance of the
    entry, its inclusion in the RAST’s catalogue or the issue by the RAST of an exhibit ticket, number or any other document.

    question of merit of the exhibit or on any matter arising out of or in connection with the manner in which the judge’s decision was made or purported to be made or otherwise.

    third).

    entries exceeds the number of prizes offered, if, in his opinion, the exhibit is of sufficient merit to deserve a prize, he may also give commendations, in his opinion, they are
    deserved.
  8. Subject to Regulations 18 and 36, where a prize is disqualified, the RAST may promote to that prize the exhibit next in order, whether such exhibit was awarded a prize or
    reserve number. Exhibits next in order thereafter, whether awarded a prize or reserve number may also be promoted to the prize immediately next in order.
