ADVERTISING POLICIES

The Charleston Regional Business Journal reaches the people you want as customers. We're the area's primary source of business news. This means decision-makers in Charleston and the surrounding region turn to us for the latest, in-depth information about business.

All advertising contracts are subject to the following policies:

Credit Policy
Terms: Due on receipt of invoice. Accounts not paid within 30 days of date of invoice are subject to a 1.5% per month late charge on the balance from due date until balance is paid in full. A 5% discount may be applied to payments in full submitted prior to the issue date for any insertion. No cash discounts. Invoices are rendered on publication date.

Agency Commission
Recognized advertising agencies will be paid a 15% commission on all space booked by the agency on display advertising space. Agencies are responsible for meeting the publisher's request for camera ready advertising materials. Oral agreements will not be binding on the publisher. All non-guaranteed positions will be at the publisher's option. The publisher is not liable for delays in delivery or non-delivery caused by conditions beyond the control of the publisher.

Cancellations
Cancellations must be submitted in writing and received by the closing date of the issue in which the advertisement is to be published. Advertising canceled after the deadline will be billed in full.

Copy Acceptance
The publisher reserves the right to reject any advertisement regarded as objectionable in wording or appearance and may insert the word "advertisement" in any ad. All advertisements are accepted and published upon the representation that the agency and/or advertiser is authorized to publish the entire contents and the subject matter of the advertisement. The agency and/or advertiser will indemnify and hold the publisher harmless for any loss or expense resulting in any claims or suits for defamation, libel, violation of right to privacy, plagiarism or copyright infringement.

Frequency Discounts
Frequency discounts are determined by combining the total number of display insertions in the Charleston Regional Business Journal within the same 12 month period. Ad sizes may vary during contract period. Center spread ads count as one ad. Frequency contracts are not interchangeable between display and classified. Contracts canceled before completion will be short-rated at the actual earned rate. No rebates can be issued.

Liability for payment
The advertiser and its agency are jointly and severally liable for all sums due and payable to the publisher.
