Agency Commission
15% of gross billing is allowed to recognized advertising agencies on space, color and position. Commissions are not allowed on production and mechanical charges. No cash discounts allowed.
General Rate Policy
Frequency is determined by the total number of insertions run during a 12-month period. Each advertisement can be counted as one insertion toward earning a frequency rate.
Rebates and Short Orders: Within a 12-month period beginning with first insertion, advertisers will be rebated if they have placed sufficient additional insertions to warrant a lower rate than the amount they have been billed.
Advertisers will be short-rated if they do not use the amount of space on which their billings are based within the same 12-month period.
Liability: Advertisers and advertising agencies assume liability for all content of advertising printed, and are responsible for all claims made against the publisher arising from printed advertising.
Publisher's Rights: The publisher reserves the right to reject any advertisement at the publisher's discretion.
Preferred Positions: All preferred positions are non-cancellable during the duration of the contract.
Prepayment: Prepayment required to accompany ad for first-time advertisers or at the discretion of the publisher.
Bonus Distribution Issues
