Contract and Copy Regulations

We reserve the right to insert the word "advertisement" in all ads, especially "all-copy" ads which may be mistaken for news articles.

Any ad canceled after half or more has been produced will be charged at $10 per 15 minutes, 15 minute minimum for production costs.

Positioning of ads is at the publisher's option. In no event will adjustments, reinsertions or refunds be made because of position in which an advertisement has been published. Position request will be honored without charge when possible. Demand position requires regular rate plus 25%.

All bills for space are payable on, or before, the 25th of the month. A service charge of 1 1/2% per month (which is an annual percentage rate of 18%) will be added to all accounts past due.
