- All advertising copy that may be mistaken by a reader as news, feature or other non-advertising materials must be clearly marked "advertisement".
- All positions are at the option of ZWE. In no event will adjustments, reinstatements or refunds be made because of the position in which an advertisement has been published. ZWE will seek to comply with position requests and other stipulations that appear on insertion orders but cannot guarantee that they will be followed.

- ZWE shall be under no liability for its failure for any cause to publish an advertisement.

If any credit card transaction is not approved for any reason, such account shall be deemed delinquent. When any part of an account for advertising becomes delinquent, then the entire amount owed shall become due and payable and ZWE may refuse to publish any advertising. In this event, the advertiser or advertising agency shall pay for advertising according to the rate earned at the time of the delinquency. Furthermore, on a delinquent account, ZWE may in its sole discretion pull any advertising then currently running.

No endorsement, statement of disclaimer on any order, check or letter shall act as an accord or satisfaction, or as a waiver of this condition unless and until it is accepted by ZWE by a separate written agreement signed by a duly authorized representative of ZWE. In the event of nonpayment of any agency account, prior to referring such account for third party collections, ZWE reserves the right to contact the agency's client(s), as disclosed principal(s), for payment. If the outstanding balance is still not satisfied, ZWE may proceed with collections against both the agency and its client(s). No such action on the part of ZWE shall relieve the agency of liability for the debt.
- There will be a $25.00 charge for any check not honored by the bank. Returned checks must be replaced with certified /cashier/wire transfer funds within 48 hours of notification. ZWE reserves the right to withhold, and if already running, pull further advertising pending receipt of replacement funds.
- In the event an account is referred to a third party for collection, advertiser and advertising agency agree to pay all collection fees including attorneys' fees and court costs incurred to effect collection as well as judgment interest as allowed by law.
