The page is updated on the first working day of each month. All new ads are placed, and billing begins, at that time. The new or changed file for each ad must be received two working days before the last working day of each month. Ads are placed alphabetically according to the advertiser ' s name, and changes in the ad copy which alter such placement will not be honored during the contract period. A one-month trial ad is also available at a higher cost.
Billing is on a monthly basis.
The setup and maintenance charge is due before the month in which the ad first appears. Payment on other balances is expected within thirty days of the billing date. If for any reason the advertising is removed by the ELCA, the advertiser will be responsible for payment of the fee for any part of the month in which it appeared, at the contracted monthly rate. Withdrawal of the advertising by the advertiser will not affect the contracted fee. The monthly fee is based on the number of exposures during the month, with reductions for extended contract times.
