Terms:
Contracts:
1.
2.
3.
4.
1. Frequency contract week is Sunday through Saturday. To increase
space and/or frequency commitments, contracts may be rewritten at
any time without short-rate penalty. A rebate will apply up to 30 days
prior to the new contract date.
2. Advertising agreement must be signed within 30 days of the first
insertion to secure contract rates.
3. Unfulfilled contract commitments will be subject to a short-rate
charge to the open or best rate earned for all space used.
4. In the event copy is not furnished as contracted for, the Kalamazoo
Gazette reserves the right to repeat the last regular order and/or
charge advertiser for minimum inches required under the contract,
said charge to be paid for by the advertiser at contract rate.
5. Cancellation of any portion of any advertising contract by or on
behalf of the advertiser automatically nullifies any rate protection. If
a space discount has been deducted in paying for prior insertions on
such a cancelled contract, the advertiser shall reimburse Publisher
for any difference between the rate paid and the rate earned.
6. Pre-print inches count toward contract fulfillment.
7. No space may be used by the advertiser for the promotion, either
directly or indirectly, of any business, organization or enterprise
other than that for which a contract is specifically written.
8. Contracts are self-renewing at the end of the contract period and
may be kept in force by Advertiser through continued insertions
according to the terms agreed.
9. Contract rates subject to change upon 30 days written notice.
10. Errors. Adjustments: It is the responsibility of the advertiser to notify
the Gazette immediately if an error occurs. PLEASE CHECK YOUR
AD ON THE FIRST DAY. The Gazette shall not be liable for failure to
publish an ad, or for a typographical error or errors in publication
except to the extent of the cost of the ad for the first day’s insertion.
Adjustment for errors is limited to the cost of that portion of the ad
rendered valueless by the error. CLAIMS FOR ALL ALLOWANCES
OR ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED ONLY IF
PRESENTED WITHIN 10 DAYS AFTER EXPIRATION OF AD.
All local rates are non-commissionable.
No cash discount for prompt payment.
Payment is due 30 days from the statement date.
The Gazette does NOT accept “sequential liability.” Payment for
advertising orders placed by agencies is subject to terms and
conditions established by the Publisher.
5. For billing inquiries, please call (269) 388-8523.
Advertising Policies:
1. Publisher reserves the right, at its absolute discretion and at any
time, to reject any advertising copy, whether or not it has been
previously acknowledged and/or published.
2. The word “advertisement” will be placed with copy which, in
Publisher’s opinion, resembles editorial matter.
3. All restrictions, including without limitation, position, facings,
editorial adjacencies or other stipulations are at the sole discretion
of Publisher.
4. Failure to publish copy as ordered or material typographical errors
by Publisher shall entitle advertiser to credit for actual space of
error, which credit shall be the sole remedy to advertiser. The
publisher’s obligation to give such credit shall not apply to more than
one incorrect insertion under any contract or order unless it is
notified of the inaccuracy prior to the deadline for repetition of the
insertion. Claims for error or omission must be made within 90 days
following publication date.
5. Advertiser shall indemnify and save Publisher harmless from any
loss or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from
claims or suits based on the contents of the copy submitted to
Publisher.
6. The make-up and composition of Gazette advertising and news
content is the sole property of the Kalamazoo Gazette and may not
be reproduced without our expressed permission.
7. All display advertising takes the “run of the paper,” unless otherwise
specifically requested in each case. Every effort will be made to
comply with the request but acceptance of the order does not imply
a guarantee. No allowance will be made for advertisements
appearing in other than requested positions.
8. Incorrect rates or conditions on insertion orders which do not
correspond to the rate card will be regarded as clerical errors and
the advertisements will be published and charged for at the
applicable rates in effect at the time of publication unless expressly
agreed to in writing by the publisher to the contrary.
9. The Kalamazoo Gazette shall not be liable for any loss or damage
sustained by the advertiser resulting from typographical errors,
wrong insertions, omissions in whole or in part.
10. Deadlines: Strict adherence to Kalamazoo Gazette deadlines is
necessary. Advertiser’s failure to provide complete printing materials
by deadline will defeat the showing of completed proofs, and excuse
newspaper of error responsibility.
11. The terms and conditions shown on this rate card shall govern the
relationship between Publisher and the advertisers. Unless
expressly agreed to in writing by Publisher, no other terms or
conditions in contracts, orders, copy, instructions or otherwise will be
binding on the Publisher.
Advertiser recognizes that the copyright in any advertisements created
by Publisher is owned by Publisher. As to all other advertisements,
Advertiser agrees that Publisher has the non-exclusive right, for the full
term of copyright, by itself or through third parties, to republish and reuse any advertisements submitted hereunder in any form in which the
advertisements may be published or used (in any media now in
existence or hereafter developed) in whole or in any part, whether or
not combined with material of others.
Rates:
1. Retail rates apply to firms doing a retail to consumer business
exclusively through their own retail outlet or outlets.
2. Some special sections or tabloids may be distributed on Saturdays
for home-delivery to weekend subscribers and sold on newsstands
with the Gazette on Sundays. All advertising for these products will
be at the Sunday rate.
3. Rates may not be made retroactive, nor is advertising space subject
to rebate.
4. Contract rates apply only if advertising agreement is signed within
30 days of the first insertion.
5. Publisher reserves the right to revise the rates listed herein at any
time upon 30 days written notice.

listed herein shall not be binding on Publisher and may be inserted
and charged for at the actual schedule of rates.
7. To qualify for civic rate, local churches, charities and other groups
are limited to those cases where ENTIRE proceeds are for
charitable or community benefits. Tax exempt number required.
Credit:
1. All advertisements are sold on cash in advance basis unless credit
approval has been granted.
2. All political and going-out-of-business advertising must be paid in
advance.
3. Time for payment; Time Payment Differential: Any amounts not paid
when due shall be subject to a time price differential at the rate of
18% per annum.
4. Publisher may at its option require cash with order or change the
