Advertising Preparation Charges
Billed at Publisher’s cost +10%. Copy, layout and other necessary
printing material must be received by Publisher on or before issue closing
date.
Copy and Contract Regulations
1) Copy and sample must be submitted for approval prior to insertion.
No advertisement will be accepted which in the judgement of the Publisher
attempts to create an illusion that it is editorial material. The word
“advertisement” shall be printed at the top of advertisements
that either carry no signature or resemble editorial pages.
2) The Publisher will not be bound by any conditions, printed or otherwise,
appearing on an order blank or copy instructions when such conditions
conflict with regulations set forth in the rate card.
3) A contract year (12-month period) starts from the date of the first
insertion. Twelve month periods do not overlap.
4) The Publisher reserves the right to reject any advertising that he
feels is not in keeping with the publication’s standards. The advertiser
agrees to assume liability for all content (including text, representations,
and illustrations of advertising printed) and also assumes responsibility
for any claims arising therefrom made against the Publisher.
5) The Publisher’s liability for any error will not exceed the charge
for the advertisement in question.
6) Failure to make the order correspond in price or otherwise with the
rate schedule is regarded only as a clerical error and will be charged
for upon the terms of the schedule policy stated.
7) When a change of copy covered by an uncancelled insertion order is
not received by the closing date, copy run in a previous issue will be
inserted.
8) The Publisher will not be liable for errors in key numbers.
9) All advertising orders are accepted subject to the terms and provisions
of the current rate card. Orders are accepted subject to change in rates
upon notice from the Publisher. Contracts may be cancelled at the time
the change in rates becomes effective without incurring a short rate adjustment
provided the contract rate has been earned up to the date of cancellation.
10) The advertiser and its advertising agency are jointly and severally
liable for monies due and payable to the Publisher.
11) The Publisher assumes no liability if for any reason it becomes necessary
to omit an advertisement.
12) All invoices are payable upon presentation, Net 20 days.
13) In the event an advertiser fails to honor its commitment to pay for
contracted space within the 20 day provision stipulated herein, the Publisher
reserves the right to terminate the agreement. In the event legal action
is required to secure payment for the contracted advertising, the advertiser
is solely responsible for all costs incurred including, but not limited
to, the Publisher’s attorneys’ fees and expenses, collection
agencies fees and expenses, and interest charges.
