ADVERTISING AGREEMENTThis advertising agreement is entered between Transcontinental Media G.P.

1.3 Notwithstanding the above, if the credit of the Advertiser and/or Agency is not established to the entire satisfaction of the Publisher, the cost of the said services must be paid in full prior to the publication of the advertisement. Any delay in the payment of any amount due will bear a 2% monthly interest rate.

1.4 In the case of non-payment, the Publisher may terminate this agreement, at its discretion, without any prior notice. If this agreement is terminated, the space used shall be billed and must be paid according to the Publisher's rates in effect as

2.2 The Publisher has the right, but not the obligation, to examine any advertising material submitted for publication in its selected magazine(s).

2.3 Should any advertisement include the names, photographs, and/or testimonials submitted for publication, the submission of such advertisements shall constitute the express acknowledgement and warranty by the Advertiser and/or Agency that:

2.5 All material provided to the Publisher will be destroyed if not requested to be returned within twelve (12) months from its last publication.

2.6 Notwithstanding the above, in the case of any error or omission by the Publisher in the layout, typesetting or printing that it has carried out, the Publisher shall reimburse the Advertiser and/or Agency, as applicable.
