Collector magazine is dedicated to chronicling the current landscape—and exciting future—of the ARM industry.

Collector magazine is a digital-first magazine. New issues are released digitally on a bimonthly basis, and we also print one special edition a year: the July/August issue, which contains popular features such as our president’s profile and the annual vendor Buyer’s Guide. The July/August issue is available both digitally and in print.

One printed copy of Collector magazine is mailed to 1,660 ACA International members as part of their membership dues (the July/August issue).

The newest issues of Collector are advertised in ACA’s website, in the ACA Daily e-newsletter, in monthly member benefits emails, on ACA’s social media channels (X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and LinkedIn) and in a variety of other events and methods.

Collector magazine can help advertisers reach a large community of executives and decision makers in a variety of market niches within the ARM industry. Collector magazine articles are regularly promoted in ACA Daily and across our social media channels, drawing in readers from a variety of sources.

“Collector magazine is the only industry publication that connects owners, CEOs, managers, attorneys, trainers and more to help them grow their business.”

– Anne Rosso May, Editor-in-Chief, Collector magazine

ACAE WILL USE REASONABLE CARE AND DILIGENCE ORDINARILY EXERCISED IN THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY TO PREVENT ANY ERROR OR OMISSION IN EACH ADVERTISEMENT; ACAE OTHERWISE EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES OR ASSURANCES WITH RESPECT TO ANY AD PLACEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
10. Limitations on Liability for ACAE Errors, Omissions, or Failure to Publish or Distribute. ACAE will not be deemed in breach of this Agreement in the event it is not able to honor a specific position request due to ACAE’s conflicting editorial or positioning needs. In the event Advertiser has paid a premium for a particular position, reimbursement for failure to publish in a particular position shall be limited to a refund or credit to Advertiser of the premium associated with such position request. In the event of interruption of display or distribution of any Ad in digital media, ACAE’S sole obligation will be to restore service as soon as reasonably practicable. Advertiser’s sole remedy in the event of any other publication error, omission or failure of any kind on the part of ACAE is limited to a refund or credit equivalent to the price paid for the Ad Order, limited to the cost of that portion of the Ad Order wherein the error occurred, not to exceed the full amount paid by Advertiser for the Ad Order. Alternatively, ACAE may offer, at its discretion, and Advertiser may opt for a subsequent “make-good’ advertising placement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, for ACAE errors or interruption that do not materially affect the value of the advertisement, ACAE may grant refunds or credits in its discretion. ACAE’s liability to Advertiser is limited in all cases and in the aggregate, to the total amount of Advertiser fees paid within the prior 12-month term; however, no such limitation shall apply to intellectual property infringement claims or ACAE’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Advertiser retains the right to obtain equitable relief where appropriate. Advertiser waives any claim for incidental, special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages of any kind including without limitation, damages for loss of profits and the like, even if ACAE has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
11. Changes to Agreement. These Terms are subject to change by ACAE without notice. ACAE may change ad size, format and/or placement at any time for ACA Online Ad Orders.
12. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date an Ad Order is accepted by ACAE and shall remain effective through the ad run duration specified in the Ad Order Form.
13. Indemnification. Advertiser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold ACAE and ACA International, and their affiliates and respective directors, officers, principals, managers, members, partners, shareholders, employees, and controlling persons and their affiliates (“Indemnified Parties”), harmless from all damages 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 feesand any other expenses in respect thereof or in enforcing ACAE’s rights hereunder, by reason of or resulting from or attributable to Advertiser’s breach of this Agreement, or any warranties or representations made by Advertiser hereunder.
14. Force Majeure. ACAE will not be in breach of these Terms by reason of any failure in performing in accordance thereto if the failure arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of ACAE. Such causes may include, by way of example only, acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the government, fires, and floods and other catastrophic events.
15. No Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived except pursuant to a writing executed by the party against whom the waiver is sought. No waiver will be applicable other than in the specific instance in which it is given. No failure to exercise, partial exercise of, or delay in exercising any right or remedy or failure to require the satisfaction of any condition under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy or condition.
16. Assignment. Advertiser shall not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part (by assigning any right or delegating any duty under this Agreement), voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or merger, or in any other manner, without ACAE’s prior written consent which may be withheld in ACAE’s sole discretion. Any purported assignment or delegation by Advertiser without ACAE’s prior written consent is void. Notwithstanding the forgoing, upon written notice to ACAE, Advertiser may assign this Agreement to a successor in interest to all or substantially all of the assets of Advertiser or to an affiliate of Advertiser. ACAE may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part to an affiliated entity or to any party by operation of law or by merger or in connection with the sale of any line of business.
17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected or impaired.
18. Independent Contractors. ACAE and Advertiser are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates a relationship of agent and principal, partners, joint venturers or employer-employee between the parties, and no act or obligation of either party will in any way bind the other.
19. Governing Law and Venue. The laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to Minnesota’s choice-of-law principles, govern all matters arising out of or related to this Agreement. The parties agree that the exclusive forum and venue for any legal action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If neither subject matter nor diversity jurisdiction exists in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, then the exclusive forum and venue for any such action shall be the courts of the State of Minnesota located in Hennepin County, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
20. Disputes or Claims. Any Advertiser dispute or claim arising under these Terms must be submitted in writing to: ACA Enterprises, ACA International Communications Department, 4040 West 70th Street, Edina, Minnesota 55435 or rosso@acainternational.org. If invoiced charges are disputed, Advertiser must timely remit that portion of the invoiced charges not in dispute while resolution is pending.
21. Survival. Those provisions of this Agreement that by their terms, nature or sense survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, including all representations, warranties, and indemnities, shall so survive in accordance with their terms.

Such agreement is indicated by the Advertiser’s signature on Ad Order Forms. The Ad Order Form is an offer by Advertiser to purchase advertising space from ACAE in accordance with and subject to the terms herein and therein. ACAE will be deemed to have accepted the Ad Order Form when it sends Advertiser notice of acceptance in writing or displays the Ad specified in the Ad Order Form, whichever occurs first. ACAE’s acceptance is expressly limited to these terms. Any acknowledgement or other communication issued by ACAE in connection with the Ad Order Form will be for the purposes of describing in greater detail the advertising space to be provided and/or for record and accounting purposes only, and any terms or conditions set forth in such communication will not apply to the Ad Order Form and will not be considered to be ACAE’s exceptions to these Terms. The Ad Order Form and these Terms, together with any documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the advertising space, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral, with ACAE or its advertising sales representative(s) with respect to the subject matter of the Ad Order Form.
23. Headings. The headings contained in this document are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation.
