"Fixed"  - ads are "static" and appear on the page all the time.  They do not "rotate" or "refresh" and other than the purchase of a "Rotator Road Block" they provide the best ad visibility.

"Rotator" - ads change or "rotate" at either page refreshes or specific timed intervals. Unless noted otherwise, up to 8 "rotator" ads can be displayed per "rotator" location on the site

"Rotator Road Block" - The ads rotate as in "rotator above" bit the entire or partial sequence is owned by one company providing the ability to display different products or deliver unique messages on a timed or refreshed basis. The method, "timed" or "refreshed" is the choice of the advertiser when an entire sequence is purchased.  A sequence is considered 8 rotator positions.

Advertiser and advertising agency are jointly and severally liable for payment. The Publisher will not release any advertising agency from liability even if a sequential liability clause is included in the contract, insertion order, purchase order, etc. If an agency has any past due balance then Peak Dynamics LLC policy dictates that the client will be directly notified of such deficiency and be informed that the client is jointly and severally liable for any past due payment.

Rate Policy and Contract Provisions


All orders for advertising are accepted subject to the terms and provisions of the current advertising rate card. Publication of the advertisement represents acceptance of the order. The Publisher will not be bound by any conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing on any order blank, insertion order or contract when they conflict with the terms and conditions of this rate card, or any amendment thereof. Contract rates are good for one year from the ad placement and otherwise subject to change at any time without notice.

Any insertion of advertising made by the agency or advertiser represents an acceptance by both the agency and the advertiser of all the terms and conditions of the rate card, applicable to the issue in which such insertion is to be published. Insertion order/contract cancellation only upon written notice prior to closing date.

Failure (by advertiser) to make the order correspond in price or otherwise with the rate schedule is regarded only as a clerical error, and publication of the advertisement will be made and charged for upon the terms of the rate schedule then in force without further notice. Advertising rates, terms and conditions set forth in this rate card shall govern all transactions and supersede any other information published in previous rate cards, directories, media guides or rate and data services.
