Additional Terms and Conditions

The publisher is not liable for delays in delivery and/or nondelivery in the event of an Act of God, action by any governmental or quasigovernmental entity, fire, flood, insurrection, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes (whether legal or illegal), labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slow-down, or any condition beyond the control of the publisher affecting production or delivery in any manner.

Insertion Order and Copy Regulations: Insertion instructions shall be supplied for every advertisement and shall clearly state the following information: name of publication, name of advertiser, date to be inserted, size of advertisement, identification of advertisement (proof of ad to be furnished if possible), plus any special instruction such as bleed and color.

Cancellation of space order forfeits the right to position protection.

The publisher’s liability for any error will not exceed the charge for the advertisement in question.

The publisher assumes no liability if for any reason it becomes necessary to omit an advertisement.

When change of copy, covered by an uncancelled insertion order, is not received by the closing date, copy run in the previous issue will be inserted.

Requests for specified position at ROB rates are given consideration, but no guarantee is made unless the position premium has been agreed to in the contract.

The publisher reserves the right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency jointly and severally liable for such monies as are due and payable to the publisher.

In the event that an advertiser is owed a credit as a result of adjustment of frequency rates, the publisher will provide credit only on future advertisements.

Payment Terms: Net 30 days of invoice date. Pre-payment discounts are available, contact publisher for more details.

Payment for New Advertisers: All new advertisers are required to prepay until credit and/or reference checks are completed. Once approved, Harborside payment terms are net 30 days. Contact the Harborside Finance Team at accounting@hbside.com for more details.

Viewability: 70% Viewability is current industry standard. Ads taking more than 3 seconds to load will not qualify for viewability makegoods. If there is a 10% difference between third-party reporting, a conversation ensues between client and Harborside.

Cancellation Policies

Print Cancellations: Cancellations in advertising by the advertiser or its agency may not be made after the closing date for the publication unless otherwise agreed to by both parties in writing.

Premium Position, Cover Tip, and Outsert Cancellations: Must be prior to 60 days of the published closing date. After the published closing date, any premium position, cover tip, or outsert is non-cancelable, and full payment is due.
