IN NO EVENT WILL THE PUBLISHER BE LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS, DAMAGES OR LOSS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROJECTED EARNINGS) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING FROM ERRORS IN ADVERTISEMENTS OR WITH RESPECT TO AD PLACEMENT OR IF, FOR ANY REASON, IT FAILS TO PUBLISH AN ADVERTISEMENT OR CIRCULATE ALL OR ANY PART OF ANY ISSUE.
(d) The Publisher's ad representatives are not authorized to amend these terms and conditions. Further, the Publisher will not be bound by any terms or conditions appearing on order blanks, copy instructions, insertion orders or other communications by Advertiser.

(i) Past due amounts will accrue interest at the monthly rate of the lesser of 1.5% or the maximum rate allowed by law. Advertiser will incur a charge, as permitted by state law, for any check returned to Publisher unpaid. Upon failure of Advertiser to pay any amounts due or in the event of any other material breach, Publisher may, at its sole option, require cash in advance, stop inserting Advertiser's advertisements and/or terminate any agreement it may have with the Advertiser.
(j) The total amount due hereunder will become immediately due and payable, and Publisher may stop inserting Advertiser's advertisements in its publication, in the event that the Advertiser: (i) discontinues the operation of its business; (ii) files or has filed against it any petition or pleading in bankruptcy or for the appointment of a receiver; (iii)-makes any assignment for the benefit or creditors; or (iv) fails to pay any amount due hereunder when due.

Upon request, Advertiser will supply Publisher with documentation of any advertising claims made in material provided by Advertiser. ADVERTISER WILL FULLY INDEMNIFY PUBLISHER FOR ANY LIABILITY RELATING TO ANY CLAIM WHICH, IF SUSTAINED, WOULD CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF THESE WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE PUBLICATION OF ANY MATERIAL FURNISHED TO PUBLISHER, ANY ADVERTISER-SPONSORED CONTESTS OR PROMOTIONS, OR ANY CO-OP ADVERTISING FOR THE ADVERTISER.
