David Suzuki.
1. All advertisements are subject to approval of seattleDIRT (Publisher), which reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.
2. Advertising is separate from content. Advertisers and sponsors have no advance knowledge of our editorial content, nor do the editors shape content to accommodate advertising. Publisher will not sell advertising for a specific product on the condition that it appear in the same location, and at the same time, as a specific article mentioning that product. Advertisers do not influence any of our editorial decisions or advertising policies.
3. Publisher’s advertising sales representatives have neither control over, nor prior knowledge of, specific editorial content before it is published.
4. Advertisers have no control or influence over the results of searches a user may conduct on the Publisher’s Web site. Search results are based solely on the functionality available through our search software (e.g., keywords or natural language) and user-defined criteria (e.g., displaying most recent or most relevant items first).
5. Advertiser links to other Web sites cannot prevent a user from easily returning to the Publisher’s Web site.
6. Advertising that appears at Publisher’s Web site must be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
7. In consideration of publication of an advertisement, the advertiser and the agency, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Publisher, its officers, agents and employees against expenses (including legal fees) and losses resulting from the publication of the contents of the advertisement, including, without limitation, claims or suits for libel, violation of privacy, copyright infringement, or plagiarism.
8. Publisher shall not be liable for any failure to publish any advertisement accepted by Publisher; however, Publisher shall use its reasonable efforts to place such advertisement in subsequent available space.
9. In the event of nonpayment, Publisher reserves the right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency jointly and severely liable for such monies as are due and payable to Publisher.
10. Publisher is not responsible for incidental or consequential damage for errors in displaying an ad.
