Contract Guarantees
An ad contract year is any 12-month period including the issue in which an advertiser’s first ad appears. Any written request for ad frequency rates received by the magazine will constitute a contract and will protect the contracted advertiser against any rate increase that may occur during the contract year. Conversely, non-contract advertisers will be charged ad rates current at the time of advertising. When ad frequencies as set forth in a contract are not met, the advertiser will be short-rated.
Publisher’s Protective Clause
The publisher reserves the right to alter or reject any copy not in keeping with the publication’s standards.
Advertisers and/or advertising agencies assume complete liability for all content (including text, representation
photographs and illustrations) of advertisements printed, and also assume responsibility for all claims arising
therefrom made against publisher, and agree to hold her free from liability.

Any deliberate attempt to simulate EXHIBIT BUILDER’s format is not permitted.

Positioning of advertisements is at the discretion of the publisher except where a request for a specific preferred position is acknowledged by publisher in writing.

Advertisements not received by our advertising production department by closing date will not be entitled to the privilege of revision by the advertiser or its agency. Cancellations or changes in orders must be in writing and may not be made by the advertiser or its agency after the closing date, i.e., first of month preceding publication. When new copy is received by closing date, copy run in previous issue will be inserted where prior authorization to advertise exist. All insertion orders are subject to provisions of our current rate card.
