Advertising

Advertising Process

The Florida Tropical Weavers Guild must approve all artwork, sponsors, and advertisers. FTWG reserves the right at any time to reject advertising material which fails to meet the guidelines described herein, which may be deemed objectionable, which compromises a current relationship with an existing stakeholder, or which the FTWG Board finds, in its sole discretion, to be incompatible with our event or policies.

FTWG will endeavor to review and approve or deny applications within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the application, but this may not be possible at all times, due to scheduling challenges, technological issues, or acts of God (eg, hurricanes impacting our homes).

Once artwork and application are approved, FTWG will send Purchaser an invoice.

FTWG will post the ad on our site within seven (7) days of receipt of payment.

Placement

FTWG reserves the right to display advertising in any order. Format and position of advertisement is at the discretion of FTWG. The position or list order of advertisements is not guaranteed nor will a dispute of placement dissolve contract obligations.

Materials Deadline

Purchaser shall provide all advertisement materials (artwork, photos, text, logos, clip art, background copy, etc) to permit FTWG the authority to publish all materials. FTWG will not create any advertising artwork for sponsors, advertisers, or vendors.

In order to ensure publication on the website by October 1, 2023, FTWG must receive artwork from purchaser by September 24, 2023. If artwork is not received by September 24, 2023, FTWG will add the artwork to our website on a rolling basis, as described in the Process section above.

Payment

Upon receipt of the invoice, Purchaser will remit payment within fourteen (14) days. Purchaser recognizes that the advertising and sponsorship rates are flat rates that will not be prorated for any reason.

Nonrefundable

Advertising is nonrefundable.

Copy Acceptance

In no event shall FTWG’s liability to Purchaser for all claims of any kind of loss or damage arising out of or resulting from any error or omission exceed the total amount paid for the advertisement or sponsorship.

Copyright and Trademarks
