A. First for Women reserves the right at its absolute discretion, and at any time, to cancel any advertising order or reject any advertising copy for any reason at any time, whether or not the same has already been acknowledged and/or previously published. In addition, First for Women reserves the right to remove from selected copies of the publication advertisements containing matter that subscribers have deemed objectionable. In the event of such cancellation or rejection by First for Women, advertising already run shall be paid for at the rate that would apply if the entire order were published. Cancellation of any portion of any advertising order or contract by the Advertiser or its Agency or failure of the Advertiser or its Agency to have published the specified number of pages automatically nullifies any rate discount, including any rate discount applied to previously published advertisements, and may result in a short-rate. In such event, the Advertiser or its Agency must reimburse First for Women for the short-rate, which is the difference between the rate charged on the contracted frequency and the higher rate based on reduced frequency, within 30 days of invoice therefore.

B. Orders that contain rates that vary from the rates listed herein shall not be binding on First for Women and may be inserted and charged for at the actual schedule of rates.

Women’s sole discretion. In no event will adjustments, reinstatements or refunds be made because of the position in which an advertisement has been published. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Advertiser has paid a premium for a particular position, reimbursement for failure to publish an advertisement in a particular position shall be limited to the refund of such premium to the Advertiser.

E. The Advertiser or its Agency may not cancel orders for or make changes in advertising materials after the closing date.
