A. IN TOUCH WEEKLY reserves the right at its absolute
discretion, and at any time, to cancel any advertising order

such cancellation or rejection by IN TOUCH WEEKLY,
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 IN TOUCH WEEKLY for the
short-rate, which is the difference between the rate charged
on the contracted frequency and the higher rate based on

for any additional charges incurred by IN TOUCH WEEKLY
arising out of the Advertiser or its Agency’s failure to
deliver furnished inserts pursuant to IN TOUCH WEEKLY’S
specifications. (4) In the event that IN TOUCH WEEKLY
is unable to publish the furnished insert as a result of
Advertiser’s or its Agency’s failure to comply with IN TOUCH
WEEKLY’s specifications, the Advertiser or its Agency shall
remain liable for the space cost of such insert.
