Advertising Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: July 7, 2026
Last Updated: July 7, 2026
1. Overview
These Advertising Terms apply to all advertising reservations, artwork submissions, proof approvals, payments, printing, and mailing services provided through Community Spotlight, a service operated by Southern Imprint Marketing.
2. Reservations
Advertising spots are limited and available on a first-approved basis. A reservation is not guaranteed until it has been accepted by Community Spotlight and assigned to a campaign.
3. Category Exclusivity
Community Spotlight may offer category exclusivity within a campaign. We reserve the sole right to determine advertiser categories, whether businesses overlap, and whether a category is available.
4. Artwork Requirements
Advertisers are responsible for submitting usable logos, photos, artwork, copy, contact information, offers, and design instructions by the requested deadlines. Delays in submitting materials may delay production or result in removal from a campaign.
5. Proof Review and Approval
Advertisers must carefully review all proofs. Approval confirms that all information is correct, including spelling, pricing, phone numbers, addresses, websites, QR codes, logos, and images. Community Spotlight is not responsible for customer-approved errors.
6. Payment Requirements
Payment is required before an advertisement is sent to final production unless otherwise approved in writing. Unpaid reservations may be released or reassigned.
7. Production and Mailing
Mailing dates are estimated and may be affected by print schedules, postal delays, weather, equipment issues, or circumstances outside our control. Community Spotlight does not guarantee an exact in-home delivery date.
8. No Guarantee of Results
Community Spotlight provides advertising distribution services but does not guarantee sales, leads, calls, website visits, customer responses, or revenue for any advertiser.
9. Right to Reject Ads
Community Spotlight may reject, request changes to, or remove any advertisement that we believe is unlawful, misleading, inappropriate, offensive, infringing, or inconsistent with our standards.
10. Advertiser Responsibility
Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy, legality, and rights to all submitted content. Advertisers agree not to submit content that infringes copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, or other third-party rights.
11. Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellations and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy. Once a campaign has been approved for production, including after final proof approval and submission to print, all sales are final except where required by law or when an error is caused solely by Community Spotlight.
