Insertion orders must be received by the space close.

1. These terms and conditions apply to all advertising insertion orders placed by advertiser with Hearst Magazine Media, Inc. ("Publisher") during 2020. Publisher will not be bound by any condition appearing on order blanks or copy instructions submitted by or on behalf of the advertiser when such condition conflicts with any provision contained in Publisher's rate card or with its policies, regardless of whether or not set forth in the rate card. All references herein to Advertiser include Advertiser’s agency, if there is one, and Advertiser and its agency shall be jointly and severally liable for Advertiser’s obligations hereunder.
2. Publisher reserves the right to decline or reject any advertisement for any reason at any time without liability even though previously acknowledged or accepted. If an advertisement is accepted for publication, the advertiser agrees that it will not make any promotional references to Hearst Magazines without the prior written permission of the Publisher.
3. Short Rates. Advertisers will be short-rated if the space upon which billings have been based is not used within the 12-month contract period.
4. Agency commission: 15% to recognized agencies. Bills are rendered on publication date. Payment in U.S. currency required. Net due 30 days from invoice date. Interest will be charged at rate of 1.5% per month or, if less, the maximum lawful interest rate, on past-due invoices. New advertisers must either remit payment with order or furnish satisfactory credit references, subject to Publisher's discretion.
5. The Advertiser agrees to pay the amount of invoices rendered by Publisher within the time specified on the invoice.
6. Orders 30 days beyond current closing date will be accepted only at rates prevailing, and only on a space-available basis (and subject to the other terms and conditions herein). Orders containing incorrect rates may be accepted and if accepted, charged at regular rates. Such errors will be regarded as only clerical.

Publisher is entitled to a 5% shortfall on estimates for ads placed on a regional basis.
11. Rates, conditions, and space units are subject to change without notice. Any discounts are applicable during the period in which they are earned. Any and all rebates from earned discount adjustments must be taken by the advertiser within six (6) months following the period in which such rebates were earned or they will be deemed expired.
12. Schedule of months of insertion and size of space must accompany all orders and are binding upon advertiser upon receipt unless terminated in writing prior to the applicable closing date(s). So-called "space reservations" are not considered by Publisher as orders or binding upon it in any way.
