Advertisers must submit a sample to the publisher 45 days prior to publication to ensure that the card or insert meets specifications. Inserts must be supplied by the advertiser on no less than 60# and no more than 100# text stock, printed and ready for binding. Consult advertising sales representative about charges, availability, production specifications, and quantity.
Rate Accounting
Terms: 10 days from date of invoice.
Frequency Discounts: Frequency discounts are based upon the number of insertions within a 12-month period. Additional space justify lower rates will be deducted from final billing.
Short Rates: Advertising will be short rated if, within a 12-month period from the date of the first insertion, advertisers do not use the amount of space upon which their billings have been based.
Rebates: Advertising will be rebated if, within a 12-month period from the date of the first insertion, advertisers have used sufficient additional space to warrant a lower rate. Rebate will be taken from the final billing.
Cancellations
A contract (except for covers and preferred and specified positions or incentive plan) may be cancelled on 30 days’ written notice and the rate will be adjusted to reflect the actual number of insertions. No cancellations will be accepted after the closing date. If new copy is not received by the deadline, copy from the previous issues will be repeated. Failure to provide written cancellation by the deadline will result in the advertiser being invoiced for the full cost of the insertion. Orders for special placements cannot be rescinded.
