Terms & Conditions

1. Authorization and Agreement 

By submitting an order, paying via payment link, or submitting ad copy to The Inland Insider ("Publisher"), Advertiser agrees to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. Purchasing via payment link or submitting payment prior to the advertising deadline signifies full agreement to run the advertisement in the next scheduled issue. If payment or materials arrive after the stated deadline, Publisher reserves the right to run the advertisement in the following scheduled issue. Publisher reserves the right to reject, edit, cancel, or reclassify any advertisement at its sole discretion at any time without liability.


2. Non-Refundable Payment Policy & No Contracts

Advertising services are provided on a month-to-month basis with no long-term contracts required. All advertising fees, deposits, and payments are strictly non-refundable once payment is processed or an order is placed. No refunds, credits, or proration will be issued under any circumstances, including but not limited to advertiser cancellation, late material submission, or dissatisfaction with published content.


3. Ad Artwork Standards & AI Graphics Ban

Provided Artwork: Advertiser may provide complete, publication-ready artwork, which must meet Publisher's technical standards (minimum 300 DPI resolution).

Prohibition on AI-Generated Graphics: Publisher explicitly does not accept AI-generated graphics, artwork, or images. Advertiser warrants that all submitted materials consist of human-created, original, or properly licensed photography and design. Publisher reserves the absolute right to reject any submitted material suspected of being AI-generated without issuing a refund.

Complimentary Graphic Design: Publisher offers complimentary graphic design services for Advertiser's ad upon request.


4. Proofing, Auto-Creation, and Material Deadlines

Proof Approval: When Publisher designs or formats an ad, a proof will be provided to the Advertiser for review and changes. Advertiser is responsible for reviewing and approving proofs promptly.

Publisher-Created Ad Contingency: If Advertiser pays for an ad but fails to submit artwork or copy prior to the established deadline, Publisher reserves the right to design, compose, or generate an advertisement on Advertiser's behalf using available logos, public business information, or basic text, and print said advertisement in the scheduled issue.

Failure to Respond: If Advertiser does not approve, alter, or object to a proof prior to the print publication deadline, the proof will be deemed final and approved as-is. Advertiser remains fully liable for the total advertising fee, and no refunds or credits will be issued.


5. Errors, Omissions, and Publisher Limitation of Liability

Publisher does not guarantee specific layout placement, page position, color matching, or specific business outcomes resulting from any advertisement. In the event of a print error or omission caused directly by Publisher, Publisher’s sole liability shall be limited to publishing a corrected advertisement or a make-good run in a subsequent issue. In no event shall Publisher be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits.


6. Advertiser Indemnification

Advertiser warrants that it holds all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to publish all logos, trademarks, text, photos, and intellectual property contained in the ad. Advertiser agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Publisher, its owners, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, legal fees, and court costs arising out of the publication of Advertiser's advertisement (including copyright infringement, trademark violation, libel, invasion of privacy, or false advertising).


7. Severability and Governing Law

If any provision of these Terms & Conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
