Files that do not meet the specifications above will not be accepted. It is the responsibility of the advertiser to make corrections and resubmit. If an approved ad is not submitted by the materials deadline, additional charges may be applied. If an approved ad is not received, it will be considered a cancellation and charged as such.
Sending Files and Disks: Send files via email, FTP, or CD. Matchprint™ or progressive proofs at 100% scale, including marks and file information and indicating color where appropriate, should accompany the ad to ensure proper color match on press. A color laser proof is acceptable, but does not ensure accurate color. AALAS will not be held responsible for inaccurate color without a Matchprint.

Billing Information Payment must be received within 30 days after invoice date. If your company works with an advertising agency for creative and/or placement coordination, please remember that we strive to maintain our rates at a reasonable level and, therefore, AALAS advertising is not commissionable. We are happy to work with a professional agency regarding your ad; however, we prefer to keep any creative and/or other agency fees related to your ad an independent business matter between your company and your agency. We will bill the agency; however, if the agency fails to pay in a timely manner, your company will be billed directly.
Cancellation Policy Advertising space may be cancelled 60 days prior to the closing date for ad materials. Advertisers who cancel after this date will be charged for the reserved ad space.
