Advertising and submission terms

Draft for review by your lawyer before launch.

• Review. Every ad is reviewed before it runs. We may decline any ad for any reason, including accuracy, taste or fit with our readers. A declined ad is refunded in full to the original card.
• Placement. TradeOwed is our presenting sponsor and always appears first. Featured sponsors appear next, in the order they were booked; classifieds follow. Ads run in the issue booked and on buildersandtradesalliance.com while that issue is current (about two weeks).
• Editorial independence. Advertisers don't see or influence stories before they run, and advertising doesn't buy coverage.
• Your content. You confirm you have the right to use the logo, text and link you submit, that the ad is truthful, and that it follows the law. We may make small edits for length, spelling or clarity, and will ask before changing meaning.
• Changes and cancellations. Before your ad is approved, email [email protected] to cancel for a full refund. After approval, cancellations are refunded only if we can resell the slot.
• Multi-issue orders. Booking several issues at once earns a discount on every issue in the order (3+ issues 5%, 6+ issues 10%, 13+ issues 15%), paid up front. If we can't run your ad in one of those issues, that issue is refunded at its discounted price and the rest of the order stands. To change your ad partway through, email us before the next issue's booking closes.
• If we miss an issue. If an issue doesn't go out, your ad moves to the next issue or is refunded, your choice.
• No guarantees. We don't guarantee clicks, opens or results.
• Change Orders (paid reader articles). You confirm you wrote the article and can publish it. It's labeled “Paid reader submission” with your byline, runs in the issue you pick, and is published in full on this site on that issue's date and kept in the archive. The price is set by the word count you submit; our light edits don't change it. The same review and refund rules apply.
