No terms or conditions in any insertion orders, instructions or documents other than this Rate Card will be binding on Mansuteo Ventures Publishing (“Publisher”) unless Publisher agrees to such terms and conditions in writing.

The rates and conditions of advertising in the Magazine are subject to change without notice.
3. CIRCULATION GUARANTEEThe Magazine is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC). The following paid rate base guarantee is based on the ABC’s audited reported circulation for the Magazine averaged over the calendar year in which advertising is placed. Publisher guarantees circulation to national advertisers by brand of advertised product or service. In the event the audited 12-month average circulation does not meet the guaranteed rate base, Publisher shall grant rebates to the advertiser in advertising space credit only, which must be used within six (6) months following the issuance of audited ABC statements for the period of shortfall. Rebates will be calculated based on the difference between the stated rate base at time of publication, and the ABC audited 12-month average. Publisher does not guarantee circulation to regional advertisers, and regional circulations reported by the ABC are used by Publisher only as a basis for determining the Magazine’s advertising rates.
4. PUbLISHER’S LIAbILITYPublisher is not liable for any failure or delay in printing, publishing, or circulating any copies of the issue of the Magazine in which advertising is placed pursuant to an insertion order that is caused by, or arising from, an act of God, accident, fire, strike, terrorism or other occurrence beyond Publisher’s control. Publisher is not liable for any failure or delay in publishing in the Magazine any advertisement submitted to it. Publisher does not guarantee positioning of advertisements in the Magazine, is not liable for failure to meet positioning requirements and is not liable for any error in key numbers.The liability of Publisher for any act, error or omission for which it may be held legally responsible shall not exceed the cost of the advertising space affected by the error.
