MLR Holdings, LLC (“Publisher”) may hold the Advertiser and its designated advertising Agency, jointly and severally, liable for paying for all duly authorized advertisements (“ad” or “ads”) inserted in or attached to Directors & Boards magazine and all other sums due and payable under this agreement. Publisher will not be bound by, and will disregard, terms and conditions appearing on insertion orders or copy instructions which conflict with provisions of this rate card.

No advertisement shall be published unless a signed insertion order is received at the offices of the Publisher no later than the closing deadline specified by the Publisher.

New advertising materials, orders, cancellations or corrections shall not be considered authorized by the Advertiser and/or Agency unless confirmation of such change, in writing, is received at the offices of the Publisher by the closing deadline. In the event copy changes are not confirmed in writing, Advertiser and/or Agency’s most recent advertisement shall be inserted.

Advertiser and/or Agency are responsible for checking ad copy for corrections and providing prompt written notice of errors or changes within Publisher’s deadlines. Publisher is not responsible to correct an error in an ad unless Advertiser and/or Agency have notified Publisher in writing that an error has been made prior to the closing deadline. In the event all necessary advertising materials are not received at the offices of the Publisher by the closing deadline, Publisher cannot guarantee insertion of such advertisement(s) or copy changes.

If Advertiser and/or Agency fails to provide the advertisement to Publisher in time to meet the deadline of an issue in which it ordered space, Publisher will charge Advertiser and/or Agency at the regular rate for the space it has reserved, and the bill is due and payable when rendered. Cancellation of space by Advertiser and/or Agency will not be accepted by Publisher unless received prior to the closing deadline. No advertisement may be canceled after the closing deadline.

In no event will adjustments, reruns or refunds be made because of the position of an ad unless specifically indicated in the insertion order and agreed upon by the Publisher in advance. Advertisers who do not fulfill their contract will receive a short rate.

All advertisements are subject to approval by Publisher, which may refuse any advertising submitted and cancel any order for an ad. Such approval shall be granted or withheld solely at Publisher’s absolute discretion.

In order to ensure distribution of all advertising copy to a worldwide readership, Publisher reserves the right to make copy changes as necessary to comply with all customs and postal regulations.

Liability of Publisher for the omission of any portion of any ad from any publication shall be limited to a partial reduction in the amount charged by Publisher for such ad based on the Publisher’s rate card.
