The following are the Advertising Contract and Copy Regulations for Home Business Magazine:
Advertising Contract and Copy Regulations
1) Duration
Advertising contract may be accepted for one year or less, but rates will be
guaranteed for three months only (unless under contract).
2) Cancellation
Publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertising at any time without liability, and even though previously acknowledged, accepted or published. This pertains especially to advertising considered to be objectionable, sexual, fraudulent, etc. by the publisher.
3) Closing Date
Neither the advertiser nor its agency cancels for a particular issue after that issue’s closing date (end of regular business hours for that date). Cancellations are via writing or by fax.
Cancellations by advertiser or its agency are effective when confirmed in writing by the Publisher. If an advertiser or its agency cancels on or before the Space Closing Date, the advertiser or its agency agrees to rebate back any frequency discounts already given to the advertiser. The publisher adjusts the discount for the actual number of issues the advertisement runs in the magazine.
4) Liability
Publisher is not liable for any failure to print, publish, or circulate all or
any portion of any issue, for instance in which an advertisement accepted by the Publisher is contained. Such failures are due to acts of God, strikes, accidents, and legal action, and in addition, failures due to other circumstances beyond the Publisher’s control.
Furthermore, the Publisher has no obligation to run any ad from an advertiser unless it first accepted by the Publisher, and accordingly, the Publisher has no liability for any ad unaccepted that does not appear. The Publisher assumes no liability for errors in key numbers or tracking codes.
An advertiser and/or his agency assumes full liability for all content
(including any text, representation, illustrations, sketches, maps, words, labels,
trademarks or other copyrighted matters) in his authorized advertisements.
5) Indemnification
In consideration of publication of an advertisement, the advertiser and the
agency, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Publisher and
publication, the officers, directors, stockholders, agents, employees and
representatives from and against all losses, damages, claims, liabilities and
expenses (including legal fees and costs) resulting from the publication of the
contents of the advertisement. In addition, this includes, by way of illustration and not limitation, claims or lawsuits for libel, violation of right to privacy, copyright infringement, plagiarism, defamation, and unfair competition.
8) Acceptance
An advertising contract is accepted upon the representation that advertiser and its agency have the right to authorized publication of the contents thereof. Acceptance of an advertising contract for any product or service is subject to investigation of the product or service and the claims made for it on the package, labels and accompanying material, and in the advertisement submitted for publication.
9) Coupons
The Publisher assumes no responsibility for improper use of coupons
forming part of an advertisement.
