Terms for Special Setup Ads
Terms and prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Advertisers with current leases will receive notification prior to the next payment due date if terms or prices change.
Ad Formats
To maintain the integrity and reputation of Kristen's Guide, all special setup ads will be clearly labeled as "Sponsors," and ad links will have the rel="nofollow" attribute.
Ad Locations
Ads will be located on the Kristen's Guide website (http://www.kristensguide.com).
Pages that are available for ads are viewable asp, htm, and html pages that contain html source code, and do not include site statistics pages, Kristen's Guide Community pages, blogs, RSS feeds, newsletters, syndicated content available on other websites, or files intended to work in the background (invisible to visitors).
All ad links will open in a new window when clicked.
Payment
Payment is due via PayPal before the ad will appear. Once we receive your payment, the ad will appear within one week. The date of the first appearance is the start date.
To continue a lease of ad space, subsequent payments are due on the same day of the month as the start date, regardless of how many days are in any months in between. (Example: Ad with a six month lease first appears February 17 (start date), next payment is due August 17.)
If payment is not received by the next payment due date, the payment is considered missed, the ad will be removed on the day following the due date, and the ad space lease will automatically be terminated. (Example: Payment is due April 17. Payment is not received. Lease is terminated. Ad is removed on April 18 at 12:00 am Pacific Time or later.)
If a payment is missed and the ad space lease is terminated, but the advertiser wishes to continue leasing ad space, a new month-to-month lease will begin, creating a new start date, new subsequent payment due dates, and setup fees.
Once an ad is posted, changes to the ad may require an additional update fee.
Performance
Because ad space for ads is leased for a flat-rate, there is no guarantee as to the number of times your ad will be viewed or clicked. It is your responsibility to monitor ad performance. You will not receive performance reports.
There is no guarantee that placing an ad on Kristen's Guide will increase your website's traffic.
Compatibility
We reserve the right to refuse or edit advertisements to fit the space leased, to conform to our content standards, or for any other reason. If you do not agree to the edited version, you may request that your ad be removed. No refund will be issued for the current month to cover the cost of time required to setup and remove the ad from the website (refunds will only be issued for future months paid in advance on multi-month term leases).
Advertisements for gambling, pornography, illegal activities, tobacco, alcohol, and religion, will not be allowed under any circumstances. If your website redirects to, is affiliated with, contains links to, or contains frames that include any content deemed objectionable by the owner of Kristen's Guide, your ad space lease will automatically be rejected and/or terminated, and any posted links will be immediately removed without notice, and no refund will be issued for the current month to cover the cost of time required to setup and remove the ad from the website (refunds will only be issued for future months paid in advance on multi-month term leases).
Ads may not mimic system functions (e.g. a system warning box, dialogue box, etc.), contain form features (e.g. drop down boxes, submission forms, etc.), strobe or flash, claim any false affiliations (including affiliations with Kristen's Guide or using trademarks you do not have the rights to), or present false information. Ads must contain text and images relevant to the site being advertised (e.g. simply writing "click here" or writing "buy shoes" when your site doesn't sell shoes is not allowed).
To maintain control over all ad content, all images and text will be stored on the Kristen's Guide host server.
The content of the Kristen's Guide website changes frequently. It is expected that the content on Kristen's Guide will always be similar to the current content on the website. It is your responsibility to review the website content to determine if the content fits your organization's image and values. If you object to any content on this website, you may request that your ad be removed.
Reqeusting Removal
If you request that your ad be removed for any reason, it will be removed no later than two weeks after the request, but every effort will be made to remove it as soon as possible. Once your ad has been posted, and unless special refund arrangements are made directly between and mutually agreed to by you and the owner of Kristen's Guide or unless otherwise stated in these terms, you will not receive a refund for the current lease if you request your ad to be removed for any reason.
