Publisher's Protective Clauses


a) In the event of non-payment, publisher shall have the right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency jointly and severally liable for such monies as are due and payable to publisher. Rendering a bill to the advertiser's advertising agency shall not relieve the advertiser in the event of non-payment by the agency. Payment by advertiser to its advertising agency will not constitute payment unless payment is actually received by publisher.

b) Advertiser and its advertising agency shall be responsible, jointly and severally, for all content of advertisements (including text, illustrations, trademarks and any other matter) and shall defend, indemnify and hold publisher harmless from and against any loss, expense or other liability, including publisher's actual attorney's fee, resulting from any claims or suits for libel, violation of rights and privacy, plagiarism, copyright infringement and any other claims or suits that may arise out of the publication of such advertisements.

c) All space contracted must be used within one year after publisher's receipt of insertion order or contract.

d) All advertising is subject to publisher's approval. Publisher reserves the right to reject advertising for any reason, including advertising which publisher deems inappropriate or incompatible with the publication's standards.

e) Publisher is not liable if, for any reason, it becomes necessary to omit an advertisement.

f) Any errors in an advertisement should be reported to the publisher upon publication. Publisher's liability is limited to first insertion in which errors occur that are the direct result of the publication's printing, mechanicals or typesetting. Publisher's liability for any error will not exceed the charge for the advertisement in question.

g) Publisher reserves the right to place the word "advertisement" with copy which, in the publisher's opinion, resembles editorial matter.

h) No conditions (printed or otherwise) appearing on space orders, billing instructions or copy instructions, which conflict with the publisher's stated policies, will be binding on the publisher.

i) Publisher is not liable for failure to perform or delay in performance caused by strikes, accidents, fires, acts of nature, or other contingents beyond the publisher's control.
