Advertising Policies

March 2005

	Payment - Preferred method of payment is by check, cash or money order. Credit cards are not accepted.
	Billing - Payment for Advertising is due on the 1st of the month. Bills not paid by the first of the next month shall incur a $25 late payment charge and shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.25% per month until paid.
	Taxes - The advertiser is responsible for all applicable taxes, including State and local sales and use taxes.
	Deadlines - Space reservation and copy deadlines are no later than five (5) days prior to the date of publication.
	Acceptance - The Rico Bugle reserves the right to revise, reclassify, edit, cancel or refuse any advertisement at any time.
	Alteration - The Rico Bugle reserves the right to alter any advertising material so that the advertisement conforms to the mechanical specifications of the newspaper, including reducing the size of the advertisement. The advertiser will be charged at the same rate as long as the ad size is in the same proportion to the entire page.
	Liability - Advertisers and/or agents assume all liability for advertisements published. The Advertiser agrees to protect and indemnify the publisher against any and all liability, loss or expense arising from claims for libel, unfair competition, unfair trade practice, infringement of copyrights and proprietary rights resulting from the publication by the publisher of the advertiser’s ads. In no event will the publisher be liable for consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages.
	Proofs - Proofs may be requested by the advertiser, and are only for information verification, and may not be used for design changes.
	Errors - The publisher’s liability for an error shall not exceed the cost of the space occupied by the error, and only for the first insertion. The publisher assumes no financial responsibility for typographical errors or omissions of copy or ads, nor is it responsible for any errors in published ads received after the advertising deadline. Notification of an error must be reported within five (5) days following publication.
	Cancellations - Advertisements cancelled after the reservation deadline will be charged at the rate for the space in which the ad was originally slated to occupy.
	Paid Advertisement - Advertisements resembling an editorial or news story must contain the words “paid advertisement” at the top of the ad at a minimum typeset of 12 point bold.
	Placement - Position of an advertisement within the newspaper is not guaranteed, unless expressly specified in the Advertising Contract.
