Terms - Advertise with TOS

Advertising Payment and Rate Policies

Advertising rates and conditions are subject to applicable terms, conditions, and TOS company policies. Terms, conditions, and policies are subject to change without notice.

TOS accepts payment by credit card, PayPal, EFT, or check. Waiting periods may apply in the event of payment by check. For credit card payments, TOS accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

All returned checks and returned or rejected payments will incur a minimum of $50 processing fee.

NO REFUNDS. TOS does not issue refunds on advertisements (Ads) or advertising contracts. No refunds will be issued, regardless of the reason for cancellation or termination of Ads of advertising purchased. The sole remedy available to advertisers in the event one or more Ad(s) is refused or fails to publish is substitution and, if appropriate, publication of an Ad reasonably acceptable to TOS in place of the cancelled or refused Ad content. Purchase of one or more Ads constitutes the advertiser’s express consent to this “no refunds” policy.

Prepayment is required. Ads will not be published unless TOS receives payment in full before the relevant Ad due date. TOS sales representatives will provide issue-specific and format-specific Ad due dates upon request. TOS reserves the right, but has no obligation, to accept or permit alternative payment arrangements on a case-by-case basis, but acceptance of alternative payment terms does not guarantee or entitle the advertiser to alternative payment on additional or subsequent Ads. TOS will assess a finance charge equal to 1.5% per month on the maximum amount permitted by law on all invoices unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of the original invoice. All payments must be submitted to:

A cancellation fee may be charged for all cancelled orders. Cancellation fees may be charged in addition to advertising fees already paid, may vary, and are subject to change without notice. TOS does not and will not issue refunds on cancelled Ads and/or terminated advertising contracts, even if the contract is terminated or cancelled by the advertiser before all Ads are published. All advertising sales are made on a “no refunds, no returns” basis.

Complimentary Ads must be redeemed in the issue or during the time period specified in the offer. Complimentary Ads which are not used by the earlier of (a) expiration of the time period specified in the offer or (b) one year after the offer date are forfeited. No refunds, fees, or other compensation is due or available for expired complimentary Ads or in place of complimentary Ads.

Publication and on-sale dates are subject to change without notice. Check with your sales representative for more information.

Additional Legal Terms and Conditions
