This Addendum, including the Advertising Agreement made upon submission of Ad (along with any supplements, amendments, exhibits, schedules or addendums thereto, collectively, the “Agreement”), shall be binding upon the parties.
1. ADVERTISING ACCEPTANCE; PUBLISHER’S RIGHT TO REJECT OR ALTER
(a) Submission of an advertisement to Publisher does not constitute a commitment by Publisher to publish the advertisement. Publisher accepts advertising only by publishing such advertisement. Upon such acceptance, Advertiser acknowledges that (i) the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply to all advertising orders unless such terms and conditions are modified, superseded or otherwise altered by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of Publisher, (ii) the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall prevail over any inconsistent terms and conditions set forth in any order or contract form of any Advertiser and (iii) insertion orders containing disclaimers are not acceptable and are not legally binding or valid. Publisher has the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject any advertisement or any portion thereof. Publisher’s publication of an advertisement shall not affect its right to reject such advertisement thereafter.
(b) Publisher reserves the right to alter any advertising material in order for the material to conform to its current mechanical specifications, publication style and format. The rates stated in the Advertising Agreement shall remain the same upon a reduction in the size of any advertisement. Publisher rates are based on advertising spaces rather than actual published size, which may have shrinkage related to the publication medium and size.
2. LAWFUL ADVERTISING; INDEMNIFICATION
Advertising Party and Advertising Agency, if applicable, jointly and severally represent and warrant that (a) any and all material submitted to Publisher (i) is accurate and original, (ii) does not violate any law or contract or infringe the copyrights, trademarks, trade names, patents or other intellectual property rights of any person, (iii) does not constitute unfair competition, and (iv) contains no matter which is libelous, an invasion of privacy or publicity, an unlawful appropriation of any name or likeness or is otherwise injurious to the rights of any person; and (b) each of Advertising Party and Advertising Agency, if applicable, has obtained all necessary consents for publication prior to submission to Publisher. Advertising Party and Advertising Agency, if applicable, jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify and hold Publisher and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, principals, managers, members, partners, shareholders, employees, and controlling persons and their affiliates (Publisher and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”), harmless from and against all damages to and liabilities resulting from or relating to demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments or other losses, costs and expenses relating thereto, interest and penalties thereon and attorneys’ fees, legal fees and any other expenses in respect thereof or in enforcing their rights hereunder, by reason of or resulting from or attributable to its breach of this Agreement, the publication of any advertisement by Publisher (whether or not Publisher assisted in the preparation of the advertisement), the distribution of any sample product submitted by Advertising Party and/or Advertising Agency or the acts or omissions of Advertiser, its contractors, agents, employees and guests at any Publisher event (if the insertion order includes Advertiser’s sponsorship of a Publisher event).

To the extent feasible and with the use of known technological resources, Publisher agrees that it will make reasonable efforts to prevent the reproduction of coupons capable of redemption by a consumer in any of Publisher’s electronic publications.

Publisher shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement in the event that it does not honor a specific position agreement due to conflicting editorial needs, in Publisher’s sole discretion.

Credits for errors in advertisements or advertising inserts materially affected by the error are allowed for the first publication or distribution only. Publisher’s liability in connection with any sponsorship of a Publisher event shall be limited to the amounts payable to Publisher under the particular insertion order to which it relates.
