FASHIONMAG.COM ADVERTISING RATE CARD COPY AND CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. Publisher's Right To Reject, Cancel or Terminate Orders
Publisher reserves the right at its absolute discretion, and at any time, to cancel any advertising order or reject any advertising copy, whether or not the same has already been acknowledged and/or previously published. In the event of such cancellation or rejection by Publisher, advertising already run shall be paid for at the rate that would apply if the entire order were published. In addition, Publisher reserves the right to remove from selected copies of the publication advertisements containing matter that subscribers have deemed objectionable. Publisher, at its absolute discretion, may terminate its relationship with Advertiser and/or Agency for the breach of any of the terms hereof, including without limitation a breach based on the failure on the part of either Advertiser or Agency to pay each bill by its due date. Should Publisher terminate its relationship with Advertiser and/or Agency, all charges incurred together with short-rate charges shall be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, in the event Advertiser or Agency breaches, Publisher may decide to exercise its right to (a) cancel its recognition of Agency, thereby causing Agency to lose claim to any commission for any further advertising placed with Publisher on behalf of Advertiser or any other client, and/or (b) refuse to publish any or all of Advertiser's advertising.
B. Advertiser's Failure to Run Advertising/Short-Rate
All agreements for advertising frequency discounts require that the specified number of advertisements be published within a twelve-month period. In the event of Advertiser's or its Agency's cancellation of any portion of any advertising order or contract or failure to have published the specified number of advertisements, or if at any time Publisher in its reasonable judgment determines that Advertiser is not likely to publish the total amount of advertising specified during the term of the agreement, any rate discount will be retroactively nullified, including for previously published advertisements, and may result in a short-rate. In such event, Advertiser and/or Agency must reimburse Publisher for the short-rate (which is the difference between the rate charged on the contracted frequency and the higher rate based on the reduced frequency of advertisements actually published) within 30 days of invoice therefore and Advertiser will thereafter pay for advertising at the open rate or at the earned rate(s) as applicable. Any merchandising program executed by Publisher in reliance on advertising that is cancelled will be paid for by Advertiser at the fair market rate for such program.
C. Restrictions on Advertiser's Cancellation of Advertising Orders
Orders for all advertising units are non-cancellable 15 days prior to closing date. Orders for supplied inserts are non-cancellable the first of the fourth month preceding the date of issue. Orders for all Publisher-produced inserts are non-cancellable without the written agreement of Publisher. Should Publisher agree to cancel an existing order, Advertiser will be responsible for the cost of any work performed or materials purchased on behalf of Advertiser, including the cost of services, paper and/or printing.
D. Advertising Positioning at Publisher's Discretion
Orders for advertising containing restrictions or specifying positions, editorial adjacencies or other requirements may be accepted and published but such restrictions or specifications are at Publisher's sole discretion.
E. Labeling of Advertisements
Advertisements that simulate editorial content must be clearly defined and labeled "ADVERTISEMENT" or "SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION" at the top of the advertisement, and Publisher may, in its discretion, so label such copy.
F. Inserts
An accurate facsimile of any furnished insert must be submitted to Publisher for review prior to the insert. Publisher is not responsible for errors or omissions in, or the production quality of, furnished inserts. Advertiser and/or Agency shall be responsible for any additional charges incurred by Publisher arising out of Advertiser and/or Agency's failure to deliver furnished inserts pursuant to Publisher's specifications. In the event that Publisher is unable to publish the furnished insert as a result of such failure to comply, Advertiser and/or Agency shall remain liable for the space cost of such insert.
