A 1.5% finance charge will be added each month to all outstanding invoices over 30 days.

PRODUCTION CHARGES: Advertisements not received by our advertising production department by the published materials due dates are not entitled to the privilege of review or revision by the advertiser or its agency. Any changes, additions, deletions or corrections made to an advertisement at the request of an advertiser and/or advertising agency will be billed at the expense of the client and/or agency. All production charges are non-commissionable.

PUBLISHER'S POLICIES: The publisher reserves the right to cancel or reject any advertisement, for any reason, at any time, even if it has been published previously. Advertisements that simulate editorial content must be clearly defined and labeled, and the word ADVERTISEMENT may be inserted on any ad that, in the publisher's opinion, simulates editorial and might mislead the reader. The publisher reserves the right to select ad location unless special position premiums are paid or explicitly waived. Orders containing restrictions or specifying unpaid ad position guarantees may be accepted and inserted but such restrictions and/or ad position specifications are at the publisher's sole discretion. The publisher will make every effort to adhere to an ad rotation policy that applies to all advertisers not paying premium or specified position charges. It is understood that, in consideration of the publication of advertisements, the advertiser and/or agency will indemnify and save the publisher harmless from or against any claims or suits for libel, violation of a right of privacy, plagiarism, trademark or copyright infringement, liability for use of classified material, and any other claims based on the contents or subject matter of such advertisements. The publisher is not liable for delays in delivery and/or non-delivery in the event of an Act of God, action by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, fire, flood, insurrection, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes, whether legal or illegal, labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slow-down, or any condition beyond the control of the publisher affecting production or delivery in any manner. The publisher's liability for any error or omission shall be limited to the invoiced cost of the advertisement in question. Full ad price will be charged for any cancellations made after the published closing date. All advertising contracts accepted are subject to change in rate upon notice from the publisher prior to the published closing date. Orders for cover positions are non-cancelable. Contract advertisers will be short-rated to the appropriate rate if the number of ads upon which the rate was based is not placed within a 12-month period beginning with the month of the first contracted insertion. Publisher reserves the right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency jointly and severally liable for such monies as are due and payable to the publisher. Advertiser and/or advertising agency agree to reimburse publisher for all attorney's fees and other costs related to collection of unpaid advertising charges. All issues related to advertising shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maine, and jurisdiction and venue for any litigation ensuing from advertising placed in the publication shall lie in Cumberland County, Maine.
