Conditions
As used in this section the term “publisher” shall refer to The Santa Clara. The publisher reserves the right to edit, alter, omit, or refuse any advertising submitted for publication and to insert the word “Advertisement” where deemed appropriate.
The Santa Clara accepts no liability for its failure, for any cause, to insert an advertisement. Liability for any error appearing in an advertisement is limited to the cost of the space actually occupied. No allowance, however, will be granted for an error that does not materially affect the value of the advertisement. To qualify for an adjustment, any error must be reported within 15 days of publication date. Credit for errors is limited to first insertion.
Drawings, artwork and articles for reproduction are accepted only at advertiser’s risk and should be clearly marked to facilitate return.
Advertisements are accepted upon the representation that the advertiser and/or its agency have the right to publish the contents thereof. In consideration of such publication, advertiser and its agency agree to indemnify and hold publisher harmless against any expenses and/or loss by reason of any claims arising out of publication.
Publisher is not liable for delays in delivery and/or non-delivery in the event of an Act of God, action by any government entity, fire, flood, earthquake, insurrection, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown, or any condition beyond the control of publisher affecting production or delivery in any manner.
Publisher shall have 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 for advertising which advertiser or its agent ordered and which advertising was published.
The Santa Clara reserves the right to revise its advertising rates at any time. Announcement of an increase shall be made four weeks in advance to contract advertisers. Conditions other than rates are subject to change by publisher without notice.
All advertising orders are accepted subject to other provisions, terms, and rates of our current rate card. Advertisers failing to meet contract requirements for frequency or number of inches will be re-billed at a higher rate corresponding to the actual amount of space used at the earned frequency or bulk rate.
No conditions other than those set forth in this rate card shall be binding on the publisher unless specifically agreed to in writing by the publisher. Publisher will not be bound by conditions printed or appearing on order blanks or copy instructions which conflict with provisions of the rate card.
