that are submitted or maintained by Agency or Advertiser will
be binding on Publisher, unless expressly authorized in a writing
signed by a senior executive of Publisher.
AGENCY COMMISSION AND PAYMENT
1. Publisher has sole discretion over payment terms for
advertising. Publisher may change the payment terms from
time to time and without limiting generality of the foregoing may
require Advertiser to make payment in advance of the on-sale
date of the relevant Magazine issue.
2. Agency and Advertiser are jointly and severally liable for the
payment of all invoices arising from placement of advertising in
the Magazine and for all costs of collection of late payment.
3. If an account is placed with a collection agency or attorney for
collection, all commissions and discounts will be rescinded or
become null and void and the full advertising rate shall apply.
4. Agency commission (or equivalent): fifteen percent (15%) of
gross advertising space charges, payable only to recognized
agents.
5. Invoices are rendered on or about the on-sale date of the
Magazine. Payments are due in full, without deductions or set-
offs, within thirty (30) days after the billing date, with the following
exceptions. For all advertising not placed through a recognized
agent, payments at rate card rates must be received no later
than the issue closing date. Prepayment is required if credit is
not established prior to ten (10) business days prior to the issue
closing date. All payments must be in United States currency.
6. No agency commission is payable, and Publisher will not grant
any discounts, on production charges. Any discounts received by
Advertiser on ad space charges may not be applied to production
charges.
7. Advertiser shall pay all international, federal, state and local
taxes on the printing of advertising materials and on the sale of ad
space.
CANCELLATION AND CHANGES
1. Publisher expressly reserves the right to reject or cancel for
any reason at any time any insertion order or advertisement
without liability, even if previously acknowledged or accepted.
In the event of cancellation for default in the payment of bills,

Cancellation of orders for special advertising units printed in the
Magazine, such as booklets and gatefolds, will not be accepted
after the date sixty (60) days prior to the issue closing date. In the
event Publisher accepts cancellation after any of the foregoing
deadlines, such acceptance must be in writing, and such
cancellation may be subject to additional charges at Publisher’s
discretion.

change without notice. Publisher will announce ad rate changes
thirty (30) days prior to the closing date of the issue in which
the new rates take effect. Orders for subsequent issues will be
accepted at the then-prevailing rates.
CIRCULATION GUARANTEE
The Magazine is a member of the Alliance for Audited Media
(AAM). The following rate base guarantee is based on the
AAM’s reported circulation for the Magazine averaged over
each six month AAM period, during the calendar year, in which
advertising is placed. Publisher guarantees circulation to national
advertisers by brand of advertised product or service. In the
event the audited six (6)-month average circulation does not meet
the guaranteed rate base, Publisher shall grant rebates to the
Advertiser in ad space credit only, which must be used within six
(6) months following the issuance of audited AAM statements for
the period of shortfall. In no event shall any rebate be payable in
cash. Rebates will be calculated based on the difference between
the stated rate base at time of publication and the AAM audited
6-month average. Publisher does not guarantee circulation to
regional advertisers, and regional circulations reported by the
AAM are used by Publisher only as a basis for determining the
Magazine’s advertising rates.
PUBLISHER’S LIABILITY
1. Publisher is not liable for any failure or delay in printing,
publishing, or circulating any copies of the issue of the Magazine
in which advertising is placed that is caused by, or arising from, an
act of God, accident, fire, pandemics, public health emergencies,
failure of transportation, strike, acts of governments, terrorism or
other occurrence beyond Publisher’s control.
2. Publisher is not liable for any failure or delay in publishing in
the Magazine any advertisement submitted to it. Publisher does

and without penalty to Publisher, reject and refuse to run any Ad
Materials that Publisher believes: (a) do or may violate Agency’s

Agency and/or Advertiser to heightened legal or reputational
liability or risk for any reason.

shall indemnify and hold harmless Publisher from and against
any Losses arising from such materials, products or services,
including, but not limited to, those arising from any such claims.

permission for each such use.

rates, in comparison to the billed advertising rates. Rebate shall
be in the form of a media credit to be applied against not-yet-
paid media invoices. In the event that Advertiser fails to achieve
a spending level for which it has been billed, Advertiser will be
short-rated
and owe Publisher an additional sum based on the
difference between the billed rates and higher rates.
