Advertising Policies

Acceptance of Ads: All ads are accepted and published by the publisher on the representation that the advertiser and/or publisher are properly authorized to publish the entire contents and subject matter thereof. When advertisements containing the names, pictures and/or testimonials of living persons are submitted for publication, the order of request for publication thereof shall be deemed to be a representation by the advertiser of the name, picture and/or testimonial of any living person which is contained therein. It is understood that the advertiser and/or advertising agency will indemnify and save the publisher from any loss, expense or other liability resulting from any claims or suits for libel, violation of right to privacy, plagiarism, copyright infringement and any other claims or suits that may arise out of the publication of such advertisement. All copy, text and illustrations are subject to the publishers’ approval before execution of the order and the right is reserved to reject or exclude copy which is deemed by the publisher to be unethical, misleading, extravagant, challenging, questionable in character, in bad taste, detrimental to public health or interest or otherwise incompatible with the character of the Hearing Loss Association of America® and its publications, in the opinion of its editor, or which does not meet the approval of the Federal Trade Commission (whether or not the same ad has already been accepted and/or published in Hearing Life magazine or any other publication). Acceptance of advertising is subject to investigation of the advertiser, their merchandise and services. The publisher may mark as “Advertisement” any advertisement that resembles editorial matter.

Liability: Publisher assumes no liability for errors resulting from illegible copy of key numbers, or from unsatisfactory results in the opinion of the advertiser and/or agency.

Payments and Cancellations: All payments are due within 30 days of publication. No cancellations will be accepted after the closing date. In the event of a cancellation and/or rejection by the publisher (explanation need not be given), the advertising already run shall be paid for or billed at the rate provided in the contract. If an advertiser and/or agency terminate an advertising contract before its completion, the ads previously run will be prorated according to the full, non-frequency rate. NO cancellations or changes in any order have to be accepted after the closing date. However, the publisher will accommodate the advertiser as much as possible. The publisher reserves the right to refuse or cancel any advertisement. Upon acceptance, publication is dependent upon space availability. Publisher is not responsible for errors or omissions if the advertiser does not supply the correct artwork by the closing date. (The previous ad will be picked up and repeated unless notified by the advertiser.) Advertiser agrees to abide by the payment terms and conditions set forth in the current rate information.
