Terms and Conditions

1. SPACE RESERVATIONS

The closing date for black-and-white reservations is Monday prior to the issue date. Material is required by Wednesday prior to the issue date (earlier during holiday-shortened weeks). Color reservations and materials are required 10 days prior to the issue date. Harrison Scott Publications Inc. (the "Publisher") may reject any advertisement.

2. CANCELLATIONS

Advertiser or Agency may cancel an order for advertising prior to the material due date. The cancellation must be confirmed by the Publisher.

3. SHORT RATES AND REBATES

Contract space must be used within one year of the first insertion. If there are fewer insertions during that period than the number upon which the rate is based, Advertiser or Agency will be required to pay the rate based upon the actual insertions.

4. PAYMENT

The Advertiser and Agency are liable for payment for all published advertisements. Invoices are payable within 30 days of publication. In the event that the publisher is not paid in full for an advertisement as due, Advertiser and Agency agree to pay the sum of one and one-half percent per month as interest on the unpaid balance, until paid, and all costs of collection incurred by the Publisher, including attorney’s fees and costs.

5. PUBLISHER LIABILITY

The Publisher shall not be liable for any failure to publish all or any portion of the issue in which an advertisement is contained if such failure is due to occurrences beyond the Publisher’s control. Failure by Publisher to insert an advertisement invalidates this order but shall not constitute a breach of contract. Advertisements omitted from any particular issue or issues shall be compensated for either through make-ups or rate adjustments.

6. INDEMNIFICATIONS

The Advertiser and Agency shall indemnify and hold harmless the Publisher, its officers, agents and employees against claims, suits, expenses (including legal fees) and losses resulting from the publication of the contents of the advertisement, including (without limitation) claims or suits for libel, violation of right of privacy, copyright infringement or plagiarism.

7. ADVERTISING RATE CARD

The Advertiser and Agency hereby acknowledge that they have received and read the Publisher’s "Advertising Rate Card." To the extent not inconsistent with the terms and conditions herein, the terms and conditions in the "Advertising Rate Card" in effect on the contract’s signature date are hereby incorporated into these conditions.

8. GENERAL
   1. The Publisher shall not be bound by any condition, printed or otherwise, appearing on order blanks or copy instructions when such conditions conflict with the provisions set forth herein.
   2. All advertisements are published by the Publisher on the representation of the Advertiser or Agency that both are authorized to publish the entire content and subject matter of the advertisement.
   3. The Advertiser and Agency agree not to make promotional reference to the Publisher or any of its publications in any way without first obtaining the prior written permission of the Publisher for each such use.
   4. Publisher reserves the right to insert the caption "Advertisement" above any advertisement that simulates editorial content.
   5. This contract contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein contained, and no change or modification of any of its terms and provisions shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by both parties.
