Terms and Conditions

Ads accepted for publication in the GSA’s quarterly magazine, GSA Forum, are subject to the advertiser’s agreement to all Terms and Conditions contained herein.

Terms of Acceptance

Any attempt to simulate the form of GSA Forum is not permitted. The GSA reserves the right to refuse or cancel any advertising at any time, for any reason.

Warranty and Indemnification

Advertiser represents and warrants that all rights, including but not limited to any copyrights, patent rights or other intellectual property rights, arising out of, or relating to, advertising materials are either owned by the advertiser or the advertiser has full authority from each owner of each such right to allow the GSA to transmit such advertising materials in GSA Forum. Any advertising agency through whom the advertiser places advertising, hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold GSA, its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims, damages and expenses of any nature arising out of or relating to any breech of foregoing warranties or the transmission of the advertising materials, including but not limited to claims based on invasion of privacy, right of publicity, libel, copyright or trademark infringement, or other causes of action.

Limitation of Liability

The GSA expressly disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with regard to its advertising services, including any and all oral and written information communicated about such services. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the GSA be liable for any consequential, incidental, direct, indirect, special, punitive, or other damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of this agreement, even if the GSA has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to advertiser. In no case, and under no theory of law, shall the GSA's liability for any error exceed the amount due or paid for the advertisement-giving rise to aforementioned error.

Terms of Payment

• Payment is due in full 30 days from the receipt of invoice. All Advertisers’ artwork must be print-ready, unless prior arrangements have been made with the GSA.
• All cancellations will incur a penalty of 25% of the total cost of the ad. If the advertiser signs a contract for a full year of advertising and cancels one ad, the penalty will be for one ad only. If the advertiser cancels all ads, a 25% penalty will be charged for the entire contract total.  If there is no written cancellation, a 100% penalty fee will be charged. ALL CANCELLATIONS MUST BE IN WRITING.

Full agreement

This agreement represents the full and complete statement of the Terms and Conditions under which the GSA will accept advertising. No conditions (printed or otherwise) appearing in insertion orders, contract, insertion instructions, or any other form of correspondence that conflict with these terms and conditions will be binding on the GSA.
