Accordingly, NWSS will not permit any sponsor advertising, signage, announcements, etc., other than those rights contracted directly with the NWSS.

Stable name signs with Incorporated commercial products must have prior approval from the Horse Show Manager. The Management reserves the right to remove signs in violation with the above rule. C. The Western Stock Show Association places great value upon the NW logo and all variations of the National Western name. Therefore, as of the 1993 show, the Association implemented a licensing program to control the use of the NW logo and all National Western names and ensure the compliance with specific quality standards for all merchandise. In accordance with this policy, the Association reserves the right to pursue appropriate legal action to stop the distribution and sale of merchandise that is not covered by a license. As part of this annual licensing program, the Association must approve the quality of merchandise that bears its name and trademarks and determine royalties due to the Association upon the granting of such license. We have selected vendors of certain types of merchandise and have exclusive license agreements with those vendors for all on-grounds sales of such National Western logo merchandise. Therefore, all other on-ground vendors are prohibited from selling or distributing any and all National Western logo merchandise. The NWSS looks forward to your cooperation with the Association in helping to protect its valuable trademarks and maintaining the high quality of merchandise that bear them. 23. FOOD & ALCOHOL: In accordance with the Colorado State Liquor Code, and City of Denver Law, the National Western Stock Show, Rodeo & Horse Show prohibits the disbursement, sales, or bringing of any non-permitted alcohol on grounds by a third party.
