Advertising Policies Placement: Publisher will place your ad according to best practices, unless guaranteed placement is secured in writing on contract. Placement fees of up to 30% apply to Back Cover and Inside Covers. Other placement guarantees will incur a 20% fee. Publisher may insert a previously-run ad if a contracted advertiser does not submit a new ad or provide new materials and direction by Materials Due deadline. Publisher will make every effort to comply with placement requests, but will not guarantee location if it conflicts with the principles of the publication. All ads are subject to Publisher’s approval. Publisher reserves the right to reject any ad for any reason at any time. Publisher reserves the right to place the word ‘Advertisement’ on any ad that could, in the opinion of the Publisher, be mistaken for editorial. Artwork & Design: Ads designed by 13 Stars Media are made to order for advertisers, and become shared property between the Publisher and the advertiser upon ad approval. There shall be no additional restrictions of use prescribed to either the Publisher and Advertiser. Ad revisions are limited to three Advertiser-prompted revisions before charges are applied. 13 Stars Media design is billed at $75/hour with a 2-hour minimum. Print-ready art will be reviewed by our team and sent back for correction as needed. Discounts: Discounts are applied to invoices based on contract terms. Failure to fulfill contract term will negate discounts and Open Rates will be retroactively applied to invoices. Pricing: Prices are as listed in our media kits and flyers. Changes in pricing may occur due to cost increases in paper, fuel, or mailing outside of our control. 13 Stars Media reserves the right to add up to a 5 percent surcharge to billing to reflect these cost increases. Listed price increases occur regularly every two years of about 3 percent per year and may impact existing contracts. Payment: New, off-contract, political or transient advertising orders must be accompanied with payment. We accept checks and major credit cards (credit card charges more than $1,000 may be subject to a 2.5% fee). ACH transfer is free. Due Dates: Payment due dates are listed on invoices, and late fees may be applied to all payments more than 30 days late. Our magazine due dates are on the publication date. It is the advertiser’s responsibility to communicate any need for extended due dates in writing and on agreeable terms. Late Payments: Balances will be assessed a 3% monthly fee (not to exceed 18% per year) every 30 days past due. Credit cards on file shall be charged for all invoices more than 30 days past due. Balances more than 120 days past due may be turned over for collection and the debtor will be liable for all costs accrued by the collection process. Accounts more than 90 days late required to prepay future ads until credit reestablished. Off-Contract Insertions: Upon contract expiration, the advertiser may be extended on the same terms issue-by-issue with all terms and conditions remaining in place until advertiser submits in writing to the salesperson an intent to cancel future ad placement. Cancellations: Must be made in writing prior to reservation deadline. Cancellations after deadline incur a fee of 50% of the canceled ad price. There are no exceptions. Fulfillment: Unless impeded by an Act of God, delivery on our advertising agreement will be made to the best of our ability. 13 Stars Media is not responsible for errors, omissions, or failures by third parties. Indemnity: Advertisers and their agencies are solely responsible for the contents and claims of their advertisements. Advertisers and their agencies shall indemnify 13 Stars Media, their owners and their affiliates of any harm caused by their advertising. 13 Stars Media Marketing Kit 2024 | P.O.
