Contract Regulations
A. Advertisement Rate. Advertisements are measured by whole
or fractional units based on the advertisement's size. The
advertisement rate is determined by the number and frequency
of ads placed in any one or more issues within the 12-month
contract period, starting on the date of first insertion, regardless
of unit size. Multiple units placed in the same issue are billed
at the earned frequency rate regardless of ad size. Spreads or
other multiple-space units count as additional units and earn the
accrued space rate.
B. Rebate Policy. Advertisers that exceed the contracted number of
advertisements within 12 months from the date of first insertion
will be eligible for a lower rebate rate if they have used sufficient
additional insertions to earn a lower rate than that at which they

adjusted from the higher to lower rate.
