Advertising Policies and Requirements

Copy Acceptance

All copy subject to publisher's approval. Acceptance of advertising does not imply endorsement or approval by Nursingmatters of the advertisement, the advertiser or any claims made.

Terms

Payment for advertising (other than cash-in-advance) will be due the 25th of the month following services with credit approval. If not paid by the 25th of the month following service, balance will be subject to a 1% per month (12% per annum) service charge, and the contract may be regarded as void and the non-contract earned rate may be applied against all the advertising used during the life of the contract. Unpaid past balance on any account may result in cancellation of pending advertising without prior notice.

Contracts not fulfilled in the specified time period or canceled prior to fulfillment will have the rate adjusted to the earned rate. An advertiser may cancel an existing contract that is proportionately fulfilled, at any time, with no penalty when it is replaced with a lager volume contract.

Nursingmatters also reserves the right to refuse advertisements that contain what is considered to be false, illegal, or libelous information, or material that gratuitously offends members of the general public.
