2.2 The Publisher has the right, but not the
obligation, to examine any advertising
material submitted for publication in its
selected magazine(s).
2.3 Should any advertisement include the
names, photographs, and/or testimonials

of such advertisements shall constitute the
express acknowledgement and warranty
by the Advertiser and/or Agency that:
i) They have obtained the written consent of
any individual involved in order to use his/
her name, photo, and/or testimonial;
ii) The publication of these documents does
not infringe upon any law.
2.4 The Publisher may at any time refuse to
publish an advertisement, regardless of
whether this advertisement has already
been accepted or previously published,
without prior notice to the Advertiser and/
or Agency and without liability. If the
Advertiser and/or the Agency fail to

Publisher may terminate the agreement
by serving a twenty-four (24) hour notice
to that effect.
2.5 All material provided to the Publisher will
be destroyed if not requested to be
returned within twelve (12) months from its
last publication.
2.6 Notwithstanding the above, in the case of
any error or omission by the Publisher in
the layout, typesetting or printing that it
has carried out, the Publisher shall
reimburse the Advertiser and/or Agency,
as applicable. The Publisher shall then be
liable for the least cost of the space
reserved or the space that includes the
error. All text included in a French
magazine of the Publisher shall be written
in the French language.
2.7 The Advertiser and/or Agency must also
ensure that the use of inserts does not
infringe upon any Canada Post regulation
or any other legislation applicable to
inserts.
2.8 The Advertiser and/or Agency accepts full
responsibility for any advertisement
provided to the Publisher (on the content
of the advertisements or the services or
goods being advertised in the
advertisements). The Advertiser and/or
Agency must ensure that all advertising
material submitted to the Publisher for
publication, conforms to the applicable of
Quebec and Canada, as well as to the code
of ethics applicable to the advertising
business.
2.9 The Advertiser and/or Agency release the
Publisher from any responsibility regarding
the advertisements published in the
magazine and both the Advertiser and/or
Agency agree to compensate the Publisher
in the case of damages, fines, penalties or
legal fees paid by the Publisher as a result
of the publication of advertising material in
a Publisher's magazine.
2.10 The Publisher shall in no way be held liable
for the loss of revenue or profit or any
other damage inflicted to the Advertiser
and/or the Agency as a result of the
publication or non-publication of the
advertising material.
2.11 The Publisher may terminate this
agreement by provided a prior reasonable
notification to the Advertiser and/or the
Agency to that effect.
The Advertiser and/or Agency shall be jointly
and wholly responsible for the payment and
fulfillment of any other obligation indicated in
any insertion order, or additional contracts
signed by the Publisher and advertising, as
soon as one or the other of the two parties has
signed such an agreement.
