Every contract or agreement with a person that is subject to the provisions of subsection 1 shall be deemed to include a provision for its termination without liability on the part of the licensee.

2023 Nevada Revised Statutes › Chapter 463 - Licensing and Control of Gaming › NRS 463.167 - Suitability or licensing of certain persons furnishing services or property or doing business with gaming licensee; termination of association.

1. The Commission may determine the suitability, or may require the licensing, of any person who furnishes services or property to a state gaming licensee under any arrangement pursuant to which the person receives payments based on earnings, profits or receipts from gaming. The Commission may require any such person to comply with the requirements of this chapter and with the regulations of the Commission. If the Commission determines that any such person is unsuitable, it may require the arrangement to be terminated.
2. If the premises of a licensed gaming establishment are directly or indirectly owned or under the control of the licensee therein, or of any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the licensee, the Commission may, upon recommendation of the Board, require the application of any person for a determination of suitability to be associated with a gaming enterprise if the person:
(a) Does business on the premises of the licensed gaming establishment;
(b) Is an independent agent or does business with a licensed gaming establishment as a ticket purveyor, a tour operator, the operator of a bus program, or as the operator of any other type of casino travel program or promotion; or
(c) Provides any goods or services to the licensed gaming establishment for a compensation which the Board finds to be grossly disproportionate to the value of the goods or services.
3. If the Commission determines that the person is unsuitable to be associated with a gaming enterprise, the association must be terminated. Any agreement which entitles a business other than gaming to be conducted on the premises, or entitles a person other than gaming to conduct business with the licensed gaming establishment as set forth in paragraph (b) or (c) of subsection 2, is subject to termination upon a finding of unsuitability of the person associated therewith. Every such agreement must be deemed to include a provision for its termination without liability on the part of the licensee upon a finding by the Commission that the person associated therewith is unsuitable to be associated with a gaming enterprise. Failure expressly to include that condition in the agreement is not a defense in any action brought pursuant to this section to terminate the agreement. If the application is not presented to the board within 30 days following demand or the unsuitable association is not terminated, the Commission may pursue any remedy or combination of remedies provided in this chapter.

3. An agreement between such a person or entity and a licensee shall be deemed to include a provision for its termination without liability on the part of the licensee upon a finding by the Commission that the provider is unsuitable to be associated with a licensee. Failure to include that condition in the agreement is not a defense in any action brought concerning the termination of an agreement pursuant to this section.
4. If an application for a finding of suitability is not submitted to the Board within 30 days after the Commission so requests, the Commission may pursue any remedy or combination of remedies provided in this chapter.
5. Failure of a licensee to terminate any association or agreement with a person or entity providing services in connection with the transmission of live broadcasts after receiving notice of a determination of unsuitability, or the failure of the provider to file a timely application for a finding of suitability, is an unsuitable method of operation.
