The following are certain general terms and conditions
governing advertising published in TIME Magazine and affiliated websites on the
World Wide Web of the Internet (the "Web"). Except as otherwise noted, the
information will apply to both the Magazine and the website (either or both
referred to herein from time to time as the "Publisher").
1. Rates set forth in this book are
effective with the cover date issue of January 1, 2001. An announcement of any
increase in rates will be made at least seven weeks in advance of the issue date
of the first issue to which such rates will be applicable (for the Magazine) and
in advance of the date by which such rates will be applicable (for the website),
except in cases where rates may be adjusted because of currency exchange
fluctuations. If Publisher fails to deliver the number of impressions set forth
in the applicable insertion order, Publisher will in its sole discretion and as
Advertiserís sole and exclusive remedy, either provide a "make good" by running
Advertiserís advertisements for a longer period of time until the number of
impressions is met, or refund to Advertiser on a pro rata basis the fees paid
for any impressions not delivered by Publisher.
2. Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation.
3. Advertisers may not cancel orders for,
or make changes in, advertising after the closing dates of the Magazine, without
express permission from TIME Advertising Production. For the websites,
advertising orders shall be non-cancelable after a date, specified in the
Magazine or affiliated website rate card or on the website, prior to the first
date on which the advertising is scheduled to appear on the website and through
the advertising period agreed to pursuant to the insertion order.
4. The Publisher is not responsible for
errors or omissions in any advertising materials provided by the advertiser or
its agency (including errors in key numbers) or for changes made after closing
dates.
5. The Publisher may reject or cancel any
advertising for any reason at any time. Advertisements simulating the Magazineís
or websiteís editorial material in appearance or style or that are not
immediately identifiable as advertisements are not acceptable. The website
reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertising and / or linkage to an
advertiserís website for any reason at any time, including without limitation,
as a result of linkages to other websites included in the advertiserís website.
6. All advertisements are accepted and
published in TIME (or made available on the website) upon the representation by
the agency and advertiser that they are authorized to publish the entire
contents and subject matter thereof and that such publication (or availability)
will not violate any law or infringe upon any right of any party. In
consideration of the publication of advertisements (or placement of
advertisements on the websites and any linkage to the advertiserís website), the
advertiser and agency will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless the Publisher from and against any and all losses and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneyís fees) arising out of the publication
of such advertisements in TIME (or appearance of such advertisements on the
website or on the advertiserís website as linked through the website),
including, without limitation, those arising from claims or suits for
defamation, copyright or trademark infringement, misappropriation, violation of
the Lanham Act or rights of privacy or publicity, or from any similar claims now
known or hereafter devised or created.
7. It is understood that the advertiser and
agency are jointly and severally liable for payment of all invoices for
advertising published in TIME or made available on the website. In consideration
of the Publisherís reviewing for acceptance, or acceptance of, any advertising
for publication in TIME (or for placement on the website, or any linkage to the
advertiserís website), the agency and advertiser agree not to make promotional
or merchandising reference to the Magazine or the website in any way without the
prior written permission of the Publisher in each instance.
8. No conditions, printed or otherwise,
appearing on contracts, orders or copy instructions which conflict with, vary,
or add to these terms and conditions or the provisions of TIME Magazine and
affiliated websitesí rate card will be binding on the Publisher. Publisher has
the right to insert the advertising anywhere in the Magazines or on the websites
at its discretion, and any condition on contracts, orders or copy instructions
involving the placement of advertising within an issue of TIME (such as page
location, competitive separation or placement facing editorial copy) or on the
website will be treated as a positioning request only and cannot be guaranteed.
The Publisherís inability or failure to comply with any such condition shall not
relieve the agency or advertiser of the obligation to pay for the advertising.
9. The Publisher shall not be subject to
any liability whatsoever for any failure to publish or circulate all or any part
of any issue or issues of TIME (or for any failure to provide reference or
access to all or any part of the advertising on the websites) because of
strikes, work stoppages, accidents, fires, acts of God or any other
circumstances not within the control of the Publisher. The Publisher shall not
be subject to any liability whatsoever for any failure to provide reference or
access to all or any part of the advertising on the website due to systems
failure or other technological failures of the website or the Web.
10. A 5% margin must be allowed in the
circulations of the Magazine in all regional, metro and demographic editions and
in the distribution of insert cards and split runs.
11. The advertiser acknowledges that it is
generally familiar with the nature of the Web and the proposed uses thereof. In
addition, the advertiser acknowledges that Publisher may use a third party to
serve advertisements on the website and, if applicable, grants Publisher the
right to deliver to such third party the advertiserís advertisements to serve on
the website. If applicable, the advertiser and agency assume the same
indemnification obligations with respect to such third party as they do for the
Publisher as described above. Advertiser agrees that neither it nor its agency
will collect any data through "cookies" or other means through any
advertisements submitted by the advertiser or its agency and served by Publisher
on the website.

and duties except taxes of the United States of America where applicable.
