General Terms and Conditions
All advertisements submitted with or without this order form are governed by the following terms and conditions:
- The publisher reserves the right to reject or
cancel any advertisement, insertion order or placement guarantee at
any time without cause. All ads must conform to the high standards of
UMass Magazine and, in the publisher's estimation, be suitable
for publication. Only publication of an ad shall constitute final acceptance.
- Publication of an advertisement does not necessarily
imply endorsement by the publisher and/or the Editorial Advisory Board
of UMass Magazine.
- All advertisements are accepted with the understanding
that the advertiser (and its agency) warrants that they have the rights
to publish the entire content thereof, as submitted. By submitting an
advertisement for publication the advertiser and its agency are agreeing
to indemnify, defend and hold the University of Massachusetts, its trustees,
officers and employees harmless against any expense or loss by reason
of any claims arising out of publication in either printed or electronic
form. Furthermore, the advertiser and its agency are responsible for
any legal fees and/or judgements issued against UMass Magazine related
to the publication of any submitted advertisements.
- Ad placement is at the sole discretion of the
publisher. Guaranteed placement is subject to change at the publishers
sole discretion without notice and without cause. The publisher reserves
the right to give better placement than specified at no additional charge.
The final solution for misplacement of an ad shall be the cost of the
placement guarantee. Previous placement does not guarantee future placement.
- All artwork and final revisions are due at the
UMass Magazine office at Amherst, Massachusetts by the 10th
day of the month preceding the issue date. No cancellations are allowed
once an order has been placed. Changes to an ad must be received by
the 10th of the month preceding the issue date.
- The publisher is not liable for delays in delivery
and/or non-delivery in the event of an Act of God or other contingencies
beyond the publisher's control, including but not limited to: flood,
fire, riot, explosion, embargo, earthquake, labor or material shortages.
- The publisher shall not be liable for any costs
or damages if for any reason it fails to publish an advertisement. The
publisher's liability for any errors will not exceed the cost of the
advertisement.
- Rates and conditions are subject to change without
prior notice.
- Advertisers not known by UMass Magazine
may be required to prepay for their first insertion. Otherwise, advertisers
in good standing will be billed with net 30 terms.
- No agency commission is offered. However, individual
requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- All ads may have electronic links on our Web site. This is a complimentary service and is not guaranteed by placing a print ad with UMass Magazine. The publisher will not be held liable for any loss of business or damages due to electronic publication or lack of publication.
