1. TERMS: All advertising orders are accepted subject to the terms and provisions of the current rate card. The execution of an order is construed as acceptance by parties of all rates and conditions under which advertising is sold at the time, be it in print, online, or Dealer Communications paperwork or Advertiser/Agency paperwork.

2. STATED POLICIES: No conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing on the space or insertion order, billing instruction or copy instructions, which may conflict with the Publisher’s stated policies, will be binding by the Publisher.

3. RELEASE: All advertisements are accepted and published by the Publisher on the representation that the Advertiser and/or advertising agency are properly authorized to use the entire contents and subject matter thereof. When advertisements containing the names, pictures and/or testimonials of living persons are submitted for publication, the order or request for the publication thereof shall be deemed to be a representation by the Advertiser and/or advertising agency that they have obtained the written consent of the use in the advertisement of the name, picture and/or testimonial of any living person which is contained herein. It is understood that the Advertiser and/or advertising agency will indemnify and hold the Publisher, corporate officers, stock holders, employees and contractors, harmless from and against any loss, expense or other liability resulting from any claims or suits for libel, violation of rights of privacy, plagiarism, copyright infringement and any other claims or suits that may arise out of the publication of such advertisement. All copy, text and illustrations are subject to the Publisher’s approval before execution of the order; and the right is reserved to reject or exclude copy which is unethical, misleading, extravagant, challenging, questionable in character, in bad taste, detrimental to the public health or interest, otherwise inappropriate or incompatible with the character of the publication, or that does not meet with the approval of the Federal Trade Commission, whether or not the same has already been accepted and/or published. In the event of such cancellation or rejection by the Publisher, the advertising already run shall be paid for or billed at the rate provided for in the order.

4. RATE CARD: The parties are in agreement that the rate card in effect at the signing of the contract is considered to be an integral part of the advertising contract, including its terms, specifications, and deadlines for materials to be received by the Publisher.

5. “ADVERTORIAL”: The Publisher will place the words “Paid Advertisement” within or adjacent to all advertisements which in the Publisher’s opinion resemble editorial matter, location at the discretion of the publisher.

6. TEAR SHEETS: Tear sheets will be provided only upon written request from the Advertiser. Failure to furnish tear sheets is not a breach of contract by Publisher.

7. COLOR: Without a certified SWOP color proof with the quality control bars, the exact color match cannot be guaranteed by the Publisher.

8. COMMISSIONS: A 15% commission on gross billing on space, color and position charges will be paid to recognized agencies submitting camera-ready artwork, provided payment is received within 30 days of invoice date. No commission allowed if additional art or production work is performed by Emerald Expositions or Dealer or Digital Dealer magazine.

9. TERMS: Payment due within 10 days of invoice date. A 5% penalty will be imposed on unpaid invoices after 30 days from invoice date. Interest of 1.5% per month will be charged on unpaid invoices after 30 days from invoice date.

10. RESPONSIBLE PARTIES: Publisher reserves the right to hold the Agency and/or Advertiser jointly and severally responsible for monies due and payable, to publisher. The Agency agrees that it is acting for its disclosed principal, the Client, and as such binds itself and the Client to the terms and conditions of this contract. Agency shall be liable for payment of sums due hereunder. Publisher may look to

either Agency or Advertiser for payment. Payment by Advertiser to Agency does not alleviate obligation of Advertiser to Publisher for payment in full.

11. GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT: The Signee guarantees that he or she is authorized to purchase and personally guarantees full payment of the contract. The cost and size of each ad will be in strict accordance with the contract.

12. CONTRACT AMENDMENTS: Verbal agreements or instructions are not recognizable amendments to the contract.

13. LITIGATION: If Advertiser does not pay within terms, Advertiser agrees to pay all costs incurred in collection, including, but not limited to, all collection agency fees, all responsible attorney’s fees and expenses, plus all court costs in the event legal proceedings are instituted to collect any amounts owed and/or to ensure specific performance of this contract. The undersigned agrees that venue for any legal proceeding to collect on this account may be brought in Williamson Co., Tennessee, regardless of where this advertising contract was actually signed by advertiser.

14. OBLIGATIONS: The parties are in agreement that each and every advertising insertion specified in the contract will be published and paid for. Each advertisement will be published in the specific issue contracted for and billed according to the terms of this contract, subject to paragraphs 19 and 21.

15. NON-CANCELLATION: The parties agree that this contract is non-cancelable and is an exclusive statement of the terms of the full agreement between both parties. No provisions of this contract can be waived or amended except by writing signed by the both Advertiser and Publisher.

16. ADVERTISING COPY: Submission of advertising copy is the sole responsibility of the Advertiser. If Advertiser does not supply new ad copy by the published advertising space deadline(s), it is agreed that Publisher will print Advertiser’s previously run advertising art on file. If no previous advertising art is available to Publisher, no ad will be run and the Advertiser will be liable for the full cost of the contracted space not used and the space will be allocated at the discretion of the Publisher.

17. ERRORS/OMISSIONS: An advertising index, or reply card, when included, is prepared under the regulations and policies of the Publisher as an extra service to the Advertiser over and above the space order. The Publisher, therefore, does not assume liability for errors or omissions in the index. Additionally, the Publisher assumes no liability if it becomes necessary to omit an advertisement for any reason. Additionally, the Publisher is not responsible for errors in advertisements, including key numbers. Failure to make the insertion order correspond in price or otherwise with the rate schedule is regarded only as a clerical error and publication is made and charged for upon the terms of the schedule in force without further notice.

18. DELIVERY: Payment is considered made and instructions/art delivered on the date actually received by the Publisher or printer, without regard to the postmarked date.

19. DELAYS: Publisher is not liable for delays in delivery and/or non-delivery in the event of an act of God, action by any government or quasi-government entity, fire, flood, insurrection, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown, gross printer error, or any condition beyond the control of Publisher affecting production or delivery in any manner.

20. ADDITIONAL CHARGES: All production costs incurred, including alterations or necessary repairs to printing material, will be billed over and above space charges.

21. HEADINGS: The captions, numbers and headings appearing herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and do not limit or expand the context of their respective paragraphs.
