may, by written notice prior to the effective date of the revised rates,
terminate any advertising agreement without penalty of refund.
• The Valley Town Crier will not be liable for any error in advertisement to
a greater extent than the cost of the space occupied by the error. In the
event of a Publisher’s error advertising goods at less than the specified
price, The Valley Town Crier will furnish a letter to the advertiser to
be posted noting the error and stating the correct price but will not
assume any liability for goods sold at the incorrect price.

published at the risk of the advertiser. The Valley Town Crier will not
accept responsibility for, nor issue credit on, errors made on such
advertisements. This condition will also apply to ads run when proofs
are returned past deadline.
• Only preferred positions covered specifically by a special rate are
guaranteed. Positions other than these are not guaranteed; therefore,
credit will not be issued for placement of advertisements.

(30) days after publication date upon which said error occurred. Claims
submitted past this time limit will not be honored.
• For the mutual protection of its papers, its advertisers and its
readers, the Valley Town Crier reserves the right to revise or reject any
advertisement which , in its sole judgment and discretion, it considers
to be objectionable or offensive in subject matter, phraseology or
layout.
• All advertising is accepted on a pre-paid basis until credit has been
approved.
• Terms of payment are net on or before the twenty-fifth (25) of the
month for advertising published for the advertiser in the previous
month; provided, however, the Valley Town Crier may at any time
demand cash at time of delivery of copy for insertion.
• A one and one-half percent (1.5%) monthly service charge will be
added to all unpaid balances in excess of 60 days.
MEMBERS
• In the event legal collection becomes necessary, the advertiser
agrees to pay all court costs, attorney fees, filing fees and any other
cost involved in collection.
