Advertising Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: February 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By submitting an Insertion Order (IO) or digital booking for Glossed & Gritty [a publication from S&S Media DisruptHERs LLC], the Advertiser and/or Advertising Agency (collectively, “Advertiser”) agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These terms supersede any conditions present on Advertiser-provided documents.

2. Right to Reject or Cancel

S&S Media DisruptHERs LLC (the “Publisher”) reserves the right to reject, cancel, or pull any advertisement at any time that does not align with our aesthetic standards, editorial mission or industry safety guidelines.

The Publisher shall have no liability for any such rejection or cancellation other than the refund of any prepaid fees for the unpublished space.
Advertisements that mimic editorial content must be clearly labeled as “ADVERTISEMENT” or “SPONSORED CONTENT” in a font size no smaller than 10pt.

3. Deadlines & Submission

Materials Due: All creative assets (Print and Interactive Digital) must be received by the “Materials Due” date listed in the 2026 Editorial Calendar.
Failure to Submit: If materials are not received by the deadline, the Publisher reserves the right to repeat a previous advertisement or charge the Advertiser for the reserved space.
Technical Specs: Ads must adhere to the dimensions and file formats (300 DPI, CMYK for print; MP4/HTTPS for digital) specified in our Media Kit.

4. Interactive Digital Features

For our hybrid digital edition:

Links & Video: The Advertiser is solely responsible for the functionality of external URLs and embedded video content.
Data & Privacy: Advertisers collecting user data via interactive lead-gen forms must comply with all applicable privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
Tracking: Publisher is not liable for technical discrepancies between Publisher-provided engagement reports and Advertiser’s internal tracking.

5. Payment & Short-Rates

Payment Terms: All invoices are NET 30. Late payments shall incur a monthly finance charge of 1.5%.
Short-Rate Protection: Advertisers who secure a multiple-insertion discount (e.g., a 4x Founding Partner rate) but cancel before the contract is fulfilled will be back-billed at the full single-issue rate for all ads previously run.
Cancellations: Print cancellations will not be accepted after the “Space Close” date.

6. Errors & Omissions

The Publisher’s liability for any error, omission or delay in publication shall not exceed the cost of the space occupied by the error.

Make-Goods: In the event of a material error by the Publisher, a “make-good” advertisement in the following issue will be provided.
No Cash Refunds: No cash refunds will be issued for errors in printing or digital rendering that do not materially impact the ad’s message.

7. Indemnification & Liability

The Advertiser assumes full responsibility for the content of their advertisement (including text, illustrations and claims of OEM certification).

The Advertiser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless S&S Media DisruptHERs LLC, its founders and employees against any and all claims, losses or legal fees arising from the advertisement, including but not limited to claims of defamation, trademark infringement or false advertising.

8. Circulation & Reach

Circulation figures provided in the 2026 Media Kit are good-faith estimates. S&S Media DisruptHERs LLC does not guarantee a specific “Rate Base” (minimum print copies) for the inaugural year. Distribution is a mix of paid subscriptions, controlled professional distribution, and digital reach.

9. Ownership of Creative Work

Any advertisement designed or significantly altered by the internal creative team at S&S Media DisruptHERs LLC remains the intellectual property of the Publisher. Such designs may not be used in other publications without a written licensing agreement and buyout fee.
