LEGENDARY GROUP OF COMPANIES INC. ADVERTISING RATE CARD
AD COPY AND CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. Legendary Group of Companies Inc.’s Right To Reject,
Cancel or Terminate Orders
Legendary Group of Companies Inc. and/or its’ Association Partner
reserves the right at its discretion, and at any time, to cancel any advertising
order or reject any advertising copy, whether or not the same has already been
acknowledged and/or previously published. In the event of such cancellation or
rejection by Legendary Group of Companies Inc., advertising already
run shall be paid for at the rate that would apply if the entire order were
published and no short rate will apply.
Legendary Group of Companies Inc., at its absolute discretion, may
terminate its relationship with Advertiser and/or Agency for the breach of any
of the terms hereof, including without limitation a breach based on the failure
on the part of either Advertiser or Agency to pay each bill by its due date.
Should Legendary Group of Companies Inc. terminate its
relationship with Advertiser and/or Agency, all charges incurred together with
short-rate charges shall be immediately due and payable.
B. Advertiser’s Failure to Run Advertising/Short-Rate
All agreements for advertising frequency discounts require that the specified number of advertisements be published within a specified period and be promptly paid for. In the event of Advertiser’s or its Agency’s cancellation of any portion of any advertising order/contract or failure to have published and paid for the specified number of advertisements, or if at any time Legendary Group of Companies Inc. in its reasonable judgment determines that Advertiser is not likely to publish and pay for the total amount of advertising specified during the term of the agreement, any rate discount will be retroactively nullified, including for previously published advertisements, and may result in a short-rate. In such event, Advertiser and/or Agency must reimburse Legendary Group of Companies Inc. for the short-rate (which is the difference between the rate charged on the contracted frequency and the higher rate based on the reduced frequency of advertisements actually published and paid for) within 30 days of invoice therefore and Advertiser will thereafter pay for advertising at the open rate or at the earned rate(s) as applicable. Any merchandising program executed by Legendary Group of Companies Inc. in reliance on advertising that is cancelled will be paid for by Advertiser at the fair market rate for such program. Rebates (for any earned advertising frequency discount adjustments for advertising run in excess of specified schedule) will only be earned if all advertising is paid for by the due date. Rebates must be used by the Advertiser within six months after the end of the period in which they were earned. Unused rebates will expire six months after the end of the period in which they were earned.
C. Restrictions on Advertiser’s Cancellation of Advertising Orders
Orders for cover and tab positions including the inside front, inside back,
outside back or tabbed dividers are non-cancelable. Options on cover and/or tab
positions must be exercised at least 45 days prior to material/space closing
date. If an order is not received by such date, the cover and/or tab option
automatically lapses. Orders for all inside advertising are non-cancelable less
than 15 days prior to closing date. Orders for furnished inserts are
non-cancelable 15 days prior to the closing date. Orders for all Legendary
Group of Companies Inc. produced inserts are non-cancelable without
the written agreement of Legendary Group of Companies Inc. If,
however, Legendary Group of Companies Inc. agrees to cancel an
existing order, Advertiser will be responsible for the cost of any work
performed or materials purchased on behalf of Advertiser, including the cost of
services, including design, paper and/or printing.
D. Advertising Positioning at Legendary Group of Companies Inc.’s

out of Advertiser and/or Agency’s failure to deliver furnished inserts pursuant

Agency shall remain liable for the space cost of such insert.

agrees to submit payment for the total cost of the advertising space as
ordered. Advertisers and/or Agencies are required to ensure ad copy meets the
