Conditions

Metro Newspapers accepts no liability for its failure, for any cause, to insert an advertisement. Liability for any error appearing in an advertisement is limited to the cost of the space actually occupied. No allowance, however, will be granted for an error that does not materially affect the value of the advertisement. To qualify for an adjustment, any error must be reported within 15 days of publication date. Credit for errors is limited to first insertion.

Drawings, artwork and articles for reproduction are accepted only at advertiser's risk and should be clearly marked to facilitate return.

Advertisements are accepted upon the representation that the advertiser and/or its agency have the right to publish the contents thereof. In consideration of such publication, advertiser and its agency agree to indemnify and hold publisher harmless against any expense and/or loss by reason of any claims arising out of publication.
