CONTRACT REGULATIONS

Invoices are due and payable upon receipt. Invoices will be considered delinquent and will be subject to a monthly 1.5% finance charge after 30 days from the invoice date. Commission deductions (15%) will be forfeited if payment is not received within 60 days from the invoice date. Any advertiser with an invoice 85 days old will not be allowed to run in future issues until the delinquent balance is paid in full. If an account has more than one unpaid invoice, all cash received will be applied to the oldest invoice first. All accounts are assessed and turned over to a collection agency at or before 90 days from the invoice date. The advertiser agrees to pay all collection costs and attorney's fees incurred as a result of our collection efforts on the advertiser's delinquent balance. Cancellations are not accepted after space-closing date. Advertising must be inserted within one publication year of first insertion to earn frequency rates. Loss of credit due to account delinquency may affect frequency rates. An advertiser who does not complete a committed schedule will be subject to a shortrate. An advertiser with increased frequency during a contract year will be issued a rebate. Advertising rates are subject to change. Publisher will notify contract advertisers 90 days prior to rate change. All contracts accepted are subject to these conditions. All advertising is subject to Publisher's approval and agreements by the advertiser to indemnify and protect the Publisher from loss or expense on suits or claims based upon the subject matter of such advertisement. Publisher reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time for any reason solely by giving advertiser fifteen (15) days' written notice of such cancellation. In the event of such cancellation, or in the event that the advertiser's advertising does not appear for any reason in any issue contracted for, both parties agree that actual damages would be difficult or impossible to calculate. As a result, Publisher's liability to advertiser for such cancellation or failure to include shall be limited to liquidated damages in an amount equal to ten (10%) percent of the price payable by advertiser under this contract for one month of advertising.
