All advertisements are subject to approval of the Publisher, Editor, or publishing partner of Consortium Publisher which reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.
Advertising is separate from content. Advertisers
and sponsors have no advance knowledge of our editorial content, nor do the
editors shape content to accommodate advertising. Publisher will not sell
advertising for a specific product on the condition that it appear in the same
location, and at the same time, as a specific article mentioning that product,
unless clearly labeled as an exclusive sponsor. Advertisers do not influence
any of our editorial decisions or advertising policies.
The appearance of advertising on sites is neither
a guarantee nor an endorsement by the publisher, society or editorial partner
of the product, service, or company and claims made in such advertising.
Advertising that appears at Publisher’s website
and in email service will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
Banner advertising is not sold or purchased based
on editorial adjacency. Ads are delivered randomly throughout the site and
constantly change; therefore, the adjacency of an advertisement to editorial
mention of product or category can occur inadvertently and infrequently.
Publisher’s advertising sales representatives have
neither control over, nor prior knowledge of, specific editorial content before
it is published.
Advertisers have no control or influence over the
results of searches a user may conduct on the Publisher’s website. Search
results are based solely on the functionality available through our search
software (e.g., keywords or natural language) and user-defined criteria (e.g.,
displaying most recent or most relevant items first)
All advertisements are accepted and published by
Publisher on the warranty of the agency and advertiser that both are authorized
to publish the entire contents and subject matter of the advertisement.
In consideration of publication of an
advertisement, the advertiser and the agency, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless Publisher, its officers, agents and employees
against expenses (including legal fees) and losses resulting from the
publication of the contents of the advertisement, including, without
limitation, claims or suits for libel, violation of privacy, copyright
infringement or plagiarism.
Publisher shall not be liable for any failure to
publish any advertisement accepted by Publisher; however, Publisher shall use
its reasonable efforts to place such advertisement in subsequent available
space.
All advertisements must clearly and prominently
identify the advertiser by trademark or signature.
Any reference to Publisher or it products or
services in advertisements, promotional material, or merchandising by the
advertiser or the agency is subject to the Publisher’s prior written approval
for each such use.
All advertising contract position clauses are
treated as requests. Since advertising inventory constantly changes, Publisher
cannot guarantee fixed positioning, unless otherwise indicated as exclusive
sponsorship.
Publisher is not responsible for any damages,
including but not limited to actual, direct, incidental or consequential
damages, for errors in displaying an ad.
Publisher may change the terms set forth herein at
any time, provided that no such change applies to ads whose closing date
precedes the announcement of the change.
Publisher will not be bound by any condition,
printed or otherwise, appearing on any insertion order or copy instructions
when such conditions conflict with the conditions set forth in this policy
statement.
In the event of nonpayment, Publisher reserves the
right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency liable for the payable
to Publisher.
Any use of Publication trademarks or copyrighted
material for links to and from the website must be approved, in advance, by the
Publisher. Any such unauthorized linking is prohibited.
The Publisher does not endorse or support any
product or organization linked to the Journal’s website nor is the Publisher
responsible for the content of any website promoted in an advertisement
published in the Journal.
Recruitment ads: All advertisements for employment
must be nondiscriminatory and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Ads that discriminate against applicants based on sex, age, race, religion,
marital status, or physical handicap will not be accepted. Non-US recruitment
advertisers are required to confirm in writing that they are equal opportunity
employers.
Advertised products must be compliant with the
regulations in the country where the advertisement will be seen. Advertisements
for pharmaceutical products (including NDA products) that are subject to the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight must comply with FDA
regulations regarding advertising and promotion.
Advertiser links to other websites cannot prevent
a user from easily returning to Publisher’s website.
Publisher does not release personally identifiable
data on the users of our websites or email service to advertisers.
