POLICIES

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
An advertiser will be required to sign a separate agreement (“Contract”) provided by the American Bar Association (“ABA’) and/or Network Media Partners, LLC doing business as MCI USA (“MCI USA”) before the closing date to obtain advertising. The Contract is noncancellable. The rates, terms and conditions set forth in this Media Guide are also expressly made part of the agreement. If there is any conflict between the rates in the Contract and the rates in this Media Guide the rates in the Contract will prevail.

If for any reason a Contract is not signed by the advertiser then the advertising rates, terms, and conditions set forth in this Meda Guide shall govern the transaction and supersede any other information published in previous rate cards, directories, media guides, IOs or POs, or rate and data services whether in print or online. ABA Publishing will not honor rates or data derived from these other sources unless it is in conformance with this Media Guide.

PAYMENT TERMS
Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. No cash discount is given. Payment from a non-US advertiser must be in US currency in the form of either a check drawn from a US bank in US dollars or a money order in US dollars. If account is sent out for collection due to non-payment, any discount is disallowed, and the gross amount plus interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, court costs, and legal fees, will be due to the ABA/ MCI USA.

CONTRACT REGULATIONS

Contract space must be used within one year from the first insertion. Frequency rates are applicable for space used within one calendar year from the first insertion.

An advertiser who has been billed at a frequency discount rate and fails to advertise at the requested frequency will be short-rated – that is, billed for the difference between the contracted frequency discount rate and the earned rate.

ABA Publishing has the right to approve all advertising and may reject advertising at any time. A copy of the American Bar Association’s “Standards for Acceptance of Advertising in ABA Print and Online Media (Excluding the ABA Journal)” may be obtained upon request. 

PUBLISHER’S LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
ABA Publishing shall not be liable for any failure to print, publish, or circulate any or all portions of any issue containing an advertisement accepted by ABA Publishing if the failure is caused by acts of God, strikes, accidents or other circumstances beyond the control of ABA Publishing. In consideration of the publication of an advertisement, the advertiser or its agency, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless the ABA (its officers, agents, and employees) and MCI USA(its officers, agents, and employees) against expenses, legal fees, and losses resulting from publishing an advertisement.

Such losses will include, without limitation, claims or suits of libel, violation of the right of privacy, violation of statutory or common law, copyright infringement, or plagiarism.

PAYMENT LIABILITY
Orders from agencies or other third parties are accepted with the understanding that the advertiser is ultimately liable for payment of the charges incurred in the event the agency or third party does not make the payment for whatever reason, including insolvency.
