A. WOMAN'S WORLD reserves the right at its absolute discretion, and at any time, to cancel any advertising order or reject any advertising copy for any reason at any time, whether or not the same has already been acknowledged and/ or previously published. In addition, WOMAN'S WORLD reserves the right to remove from selected copies of the publication advertisements containing matter that subscribers have deemed objectionable. In the event of such cancellation or rejection by WOMAN'S WORLD, advertising already run shall be paid for at the rate that would apply if the entire order were published. Cancellation of any portion of any advertising order or contract by the Advertiser or its Agency or failure of the Advertiser or its Agency to have published the specified number of pages automatically nullifies any rate discount, including any rate discount applied to previously published advertisements, and may result in a short-rate. In such event, the Advertiser or its Agency must reimburse WOMAN'S WORLD for the short-rate, which is the difference between the rate charged on the contracted frequency and the higher rate based on reduced frequency, within 30 days of invoice therefore.

B. Orders that contain rates that vary from the rates listed herein shall not be binding on WOMAN'S WORLD and may be inserted and charged for at the actual schedule of rates.

C. Advertisements that simulate editorial content must be clearly defined and labeled “ADVERTISEMENT” and WOMAN'S WORLD may, in its discretion, so label such copy.

D. Orders for advertising containing restrictions or specifying positions, facings, editorial adjacencies or other requirements may be accepted and inserted but such restrictions or specifications are at WOMAN'S WORLD’s sole discretion. In no event will adjustments, reinstatements or refunds be made because of the position in which an advertisement has been published. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Advertiser has paid a premium for a particular position, reimbursement for failure to publish an advertisement in a particular position shall be limited to the refund of such premium to the Advertiser.

E. The Advertiser or its Agency may not cancel orders for or make changes in advertising materials after the closing date.

F. WOMAN'S WORLD is not responsible for errors or omissions in any advertising materials provided by the Advertiser or its Agency (including errors in key numbers) or for changes made after the closing date. WOMAN'S WORLD shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever for any failure to publish or circulate all or any part of any issue or issues of WOMAN'S WORLD because of strikes, work stoppages, accidents, fires, acts of God or any other circumstances not within the control of WOMAN'S WORLD. In the event of errors in or omissions of any advertisement(s) which result from an error on the part of WOMAN'S WORLD, WOMAN'S WORLD’S liability shall not exceed a refund of amounts paid to WOMAN'S WORLD for the advertisement. WOMAN'S WORLD is not responsible for errors in key numbers.

(4) In the event that WOMAN'S WORLD is unable to publish the furnished insert as a result of Advertiser’s or its Agency’s failure to comply with WOMAN'S WORLD’s specifications, the Advertiser or its Agency shall remain liable for the space cost of such insert.

H. All issues relating to advertising will be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts to be performed entirely therein.

As part of the consideration to induce WOMAN'S WORLD to publish such advertisement, the Advertiser or its Agency each agree jointly and severally to indemnify, defend and hold harmless WOMAN'S WORLD and its employees and representatives from and against any and all liability, losses, damages, and expenses of any nature (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising out of the copying, printing, publishing, distribution or transmission of such advertisements in WOMAN'S WORLD including but not limited to any claims for libel, defamation, misappropriation, invasion of privacy, copyright or trademark infringement, violation of rights of privacy or publicity and/or any other claims or suits now known or hereinafter devised or created.

J. In the event an order is placed by an Agency on behalf of the Advertiser, such Agency warrants and represents that it has full right and authority to place such order on behalf of the Advertiser and that all legal obligations arising out of the placement of the advertisement will be binding on both the Advertiser and the Agency.

K. The Advertiser or its Agency agree to be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all bills and charges incurred for each advertisement placed on the Advertiser’s behalf. Advertiser authorizes WOMAN'S WORLD, at its election, to tender any bill to Advertiser’s Agency, and such tender shall constitute due notice to the Advertiser of the bill and such manner of billing shall in no way impair or limit the joint and several liability of the Advertiser and Agency. Payment by the Advertiser to the Agency shall not discharge the Advertiser’s liability to WOMAN'S WORLD. The rights of WOMAN'S WORLD shall in no way be affected by any dispute or claim between the Advertiser and the Agency.

L. The Advertiser or its Agency may only use the advertising space for the advertisement as agreed to by WOMAN'S WORLD.

Should WOMAN'S WORLD agree to cancel an existing order, the Advertiser will be responsible for the cost of any work performed or materials purchased on behalf of the Advertiser, including the cost of services, paper and/or printing.

O. The Advertiser and/or Agency agrees to reimburse WOMAN'S WORLD for its attorneys’ fees and costs in collecting any unpaid charge or portion of the charge for any advertisement.

The copyright in any advertisement created by WOMAN'S WORLD is owned by WOMAN'S WORLD, and may not be otherwise used by the Advertiser or third parties without WOMAN'S WORLD’s prior written consent.

Unless expressly agreed to in writing by WOMAN'S WORLD, no other terms or conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing in contracts, orders, copy, instruction, or otherwise which conflict with, vary, or add to these terms and conditions or the provisions of WOMAN'S WORLD’S rate card will be binding on WOMAN'S WORLD. WOMAN'S WORLD has the right to insert the advertising anywhere in the magazine at its discretion, and any condition on contracts, orders or copy instructions involving the placement of advertising within an issue of the Magazine (such as page location, competitive separation or placement facing editorial copy) will be treated as a positioning request only and cannot be guaranteed. WOMAN'S WORLD’s inability or failure to comply with any such condition shall not relieve the Advertiser or its Agency of the obligation to pay for the advertising.
