CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS


A: The Davis Media Company Inc.’s Right To Reject, Cancel or Terminate Orders


The Davis Media Company Inc. and/or its’ Association Partner reserves the right at its 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 The Davis Media Company Inc., advertising already run shall be paid for at the rate that would apply if the entire order were published and no short rate will apply. The Davis Media Company Inc., 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 The Davis Media Company Inc. terminate its relationship with Advertiser and/or Agency, all charges incurred together with short rate charges shall be immediately due and payable.

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 specified period and be promptly paid for. In the event of Advertiser’s or its Agency’s cancellation of any portion of any advertising order/contract or failure to have published and paid for the specified number of advertisements, or if at any time The Davis Media Company Inc. in its reasonable judgment determines that Advertiser is not likely to publish and pay for 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 The Davis Media Company Inc. 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 and paid for) 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 The Davis Media Company Inc. in reliance on advertising that is cancelled will be paid for by Advertiser at the fair market rate for such program. Rebates (for any earned advertising frequency discount adjustments for advertising run in excess of specified schedule) will only be earned if all advertising is paid for by the due date. Rebates must be used by the Advertiser within six months after the end of the period in which they were earned. Unused rebates will expire six months after the end of the period in which they were earned.

C. Restrictions on Advertiser’s Cancellation of Advertising Orders


Orders for cover and tab positions including the inside front, inside back, outside back or tabbed dividers are non-cancelable. Options on cover and/or tab positions must be exercised at least 45 days prior to material/space closing date. If an order is not received by such date, the cover and/or tab option automatically lapses. Orders for all inside advertising are non-cancelable less than 15 days prior to closing date. Orders for furnished inserts are non-cancelable 15 days prior to the closing date. Orders for all The Davis Media Company Inc. produced inserts are non-cancelable without the written agreement of The Davis Media Company Inc. If, however, The Davis Media Company Inc. agrees 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, including design, paper and/or printing.

If failure to submit copy by material deadline, the Advertisers and/or Agency agrees to submit payment for the total cost of the advertising space as ordered. Advertisers and/or Agencies are required to ensure ad copy meets the proper specifications as per order. The Davis Media Company Inc. will make every attempt to notify an advertiser of an error in sizing or color, however The Davis Media Company Inc. will not be held responsible for an advertisement that does not meet the Ad Specification guidelines as outlined for such publication.

order that consists of color advertising, will result in the Advertiser and/or Agency paying for such space as ordered and invoiced.
