Advertising Deadlines

Our deadline for display advertising is 5 p.m. Friday before publication date. The deadline for classified display and line ads is noon on Monday before publication date. While weÕll try to assist you if you have any last minute additions, deletions or changes, we cannot guarantee changes requested after the deadline.

Advertising Policies

The Erwin Record reserves the right to edit or reject any advertising.

A 25% setup fee will be charged for ads which are canceled before our published deadline. Charges for cancellation after our deadline has passed are 50% of the cost of the ad or $25, whichever is greater. No cancellation will be accepted after 12 p.m. Monday prior to publication on Tuesday of that same week.

The Erwin Record should be notified of any errors in an advertisement before the next edition deadline. If the mistake is ours, we will publish a correction equivalent to the size of the error. Advance payment made for advertising which is inadvertently left out will be refunded. The newspaper's liability is limited to the refund of unused advertising dollars.

The Erwin Record offers digital tearsheets to its customers at no cost. Requests for tearsheets should be made at the time the ad is placed.

Payment Policies

Prepayment is required on political ads, personal ads, classified ads and going out of business advertising.

New accounts must be paid in advance until credit is established.

Payment is due 10 days following the invoice billing date. Credit will not be extended to accounts more than 60 days overdue. In the event an account must be turned over to an attorney or collection agency, the advertiser agrees to pay all collection costs, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs.
