While every effort will be made to prevent damage to exhibits, neither the Regional Science Fair nor other supporting organizations or cooperating groups will accept responsibility for loss or damage to any exhibits or part thereof.
​
Disqualification of any exhibit or student for any infraction of the rules or the disqualification of an exhibit of a dangerous nature, will be at the discretion of the North Bay Regional Science Fair Committee.

The North Bay Regional Science Fair Committee reserves the right to assign location-of-exhibit stations at the Fair venue. Due to potential restrictions on physical space for exhibits, the committee also reserves the right to limit the number of entries from any particular school.
