If any rate increase occurs within the schedule of an advertising run, advertisers will continue at their locked in rate through the length of the term of their contract. Approval: All advertising is subject to the publisher’s approval, and the publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement, space reservation, or position commitment at any time, with reasonable notice to the advertiser, and whether or not such advertising was previously acknowledged, accepted or published.
