Billing is issued on scheduled publication dates. Terms are net 30 days. A late charge of 11/2% per month will be imposed on past-due accounts. Full payment is required for all reserved space whether or not it is used. Advertising will not be accepted from delinquent accounts. In the event the advertiser and/or agency default in payment of bills, the advertiser and/or agency will be liable for all fees and sums of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs incurred by the publisher in the collection of said bills. Bills are turned over for legal collection at 100 days. Jurisdiction and venue for any litigation ensuing from advertising placed in CTE shall properly lie in Cook County, Illinois.

Advertisers will be short-rated if, within 1 year (12 issues) from the date of first insertion, they do not use the amount of space upon which their billings have been based. Advertisers will be rebated if, within 1 year (12 issues) from the date of first insertion, they have used sufficient additional space to warrant a lower rate than that at which they have been billed.

Contracts, with the exception of covers and guaranteed positions, may be cancelled by advertiser or publisher on written notice in advance of closing date. Advertiser will be billed for the actual space used within the contract year at the rates shown on the rate card. Other contract and copy regulations apply as indicated in Standard Rate & Data Service, Business Publications Edition. Covers and guaranteed special positions are non-cancelable.

The publisher reserves the right to hold advertisers and/or their advertising agencies jointly and/or solely liable for payment to the publisher regardless of any restrictions noted by advertisers and/or their agencies in their insertion orders and/or contracts.

Advertisers and advertising agencies assume liability for all content (including text, representation and illustrations) and assume responsibility for any claims or fees arising therefrom against the publisher. The publisher reserves the right to reject any advertising that does not conform to the publication’s standards. Any deliberate attempt to simulate the publication’s format is not permitted, and the publisher reserves the right to place the word “advertisement” with copy that, in the publisher’s opinion, resembles editorial matter. Orders are accepted subject to change in rates upon notice from the publisher. 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 quasi-governmental entity, fire, flood, 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 the publisher affecting production or delivery in any manner. Other contract and copy regulations apply as indicated in Standard Rate & Data Service, Business Publications Edition. Failure to make the advertiser’s order correspond in price, or otherwise, with this rate schedule is regarded only as a clerical error and the advertiser will be charged based on the terms of the rate schedule in force. No conditions, oral or printed in the contract, order, copy instructions or elsewhere, that conflict with the publisher’s policies as set forth in this rate card will be binding on the publisher.
