Special Positions
All positions are run of the book, determined at publisher's option.  Special orders guaranteed at 15% premium on non-cancelable order.

Inserts
Special Rates apply.  Prices available on request.

Frequency Discounts
Frequency discounts are earned on the total number of insertions made within a period of one year (4 issues).  If at the end of one year (4 issues), an advertiser failed to fulfill the contract, billing will be adjusted accordingly.  Orders canceled before contract expiration are subject to short-rate billing.

Billing and Payment
Payment is Due within 30 days of receipt of invoice.  Recognized agencies are entitled to the standard 15% commission.  A service charge of 1 1/2% per month will be added to accounts 30 days delinquent.  All advertisements are published for the benefit of the agency and advertiser, and each of them is jointly liable for all charges.  Accounts not paid within 90 days will be turned over to an attorney for collection. Prepayment is required for all first-time advertisers.

Electronic Files
Accepted in Quark (versions 4.0 or higher), Illustrator, Freehand, and Photoshop formats.  Include all printer/screen fonts, logos, and linked artwork.  All artwork must be in CMYK mode and saved as TIF, EPS, or PDF.  Images must be a minimum of 266 dpi (resolution) and actual size.  Images should not be compressed.

Electronic File Tips
The dpi (resolution) of a file cannot be increased.  Many digital cameras do not have sufficient pixel depth to provide images for publication.  Corel Draw, Word, Word Perfect, or other text-based formats cannot be accepted as final digital artwork.  PICT, JPEG, GIF, and WMF file formats are not supported.  Use stylized fonts and do not apply style attributes to basic fonts, images/scans, logos/artwork.  Do not nest EPS files in other EPS files.  Shipping and mechanical failures could damage files.  Never submit irreplaceable, original files.

Cancellations
Neither the advertiser nor its agent may cancel after the space reservations deadline.  If materials are not received by deadline, the publisher may repeat the most recent advertisement or publish nothing, billing the space reserved.

Advertising Restrictions
All contents are subject to publisher's approval.  The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertising at any time.  No advertising of alcoholic beverages or tobacco is accepted.
