| We will not make alterations to supplied media, unless directed to do so with written instructions. | ||
| The 15% production charge is waived for ads submitted meeting publisher’s digital specifications. | ||
| Film is discouraged and subject to additional charges. Film should be set for 100dpi, emulsion down. | ||

| Original ad materials will be returned upon request, after the corresponding issue has mailed, provided name and return address have been attached with a self-addressed stamped envelope, and that account is paid in full. | ||
