Policies & Procedures

PUBLISHER POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Frequency Discounts
Advertisers placing ads in multiple issues of the SouthWest Horse Trader during a 12-month period are eligible for a frequency discount. Any display ad combination, regardless of size or type can qualify for the frequency discount. Current frequency discounts can be found on the rate card. These discounts are secured by a contract and signed in advance; otherwise, discounts and rebates will not be given. The customer understands that, if they do not fulfill the contract, they will be responsible for refunding the frequency discounts. Rates in effect at time contract is issued will remain through completion of contract.

Cancellations/ Late Submissions
Either party may discontinue contracts on 30 days’ written notice, contingent on the following:

Cancellation (either by the publisher or advertiser), or default of contracts by advertiser, in whole or in part, forfeits the advertiser’s right to any discount rate, as well as any special positioning in the publication. Further, the frequency discount on past and subsequent insertions will be adjusted to conform to the actual rate earned, and the customer will be responsible for any cost difference.
The advertiser will be responsible for payment for any ad cancelled after the final deadline date (10th of the preceding month) for the corresponding issue.
All advertisers, even if under contract, should contact their account representative by the 5th of the preceding month to update or confirm their advertisement(s) in each issue.
Ads received after the final deadline will be accepted only at the discretion of the publisher and may be subject to a late fee of up to 30 percent of the applicable display rate.
