Our Deadlines Are Firm
We take our deadlines seriously and we want our advertisers to take them seriously as well. It is extremely important to make sure your ad reaches us on or before the deadline date.

Ad Space Reservations
If you are not a monthly contract advertiser, you MUST reserve your space by the 20th of the month, two months prior to date of issue. Digital File Deadline The deadline for receipt of all digital ads, on disk or via e-mail, is the 25th of the month.

Dated Ads
The magazine is mailed the last week of the month prior to actual date of issue. Most members receive their AP the first week of the month of issue. This is very important to keep in mind if your ad contains dates (i.e., auctions, mail sales, shows, etc.)

Last Minute Ads
You have missed the deadline, but you still want to run an ad. Call us at 814-933-3818, and we will try to accommodate you. The premium for placing a late ad is 20%.

Cancellations
Cancellations are not accepted after the space reservation deadline. If your ad is not published due to non-receipt of materials, you will be charged for the space reserved.

Publisher’s Rights
We reserve the right to accept, reject, or modify at the advertiser’s expense any or all advertising materials submitted to us. Such modifications shall not be cause for credit, refund, or adjustment on account of advertiser’s dissatisfaction with the final printed advertisement.
