Advertising Policies
The Wright State Guardian reserves the right to reject any advertising for any reason.
The Wright State Guardian makes every effort to produce error-free ads; however, if an error should occur, please notify the business office within three days of the error at advertising@wsuguardian.com. Liability for any errors is limited to the cost of the space occupied by the error.
All ad changes and cancellations must be made within 72 hours of such ads being placed, unless the ad run is less than 72 hours, in which case no changes or cancellations are permitted. Ads canceled after this time period will not be refunded.
Advertising having the appearance of news must be labeled as “Paid Advertising.” All political and cause advertisements must carry the appropriate information required by law. (e.g., Paid by Committee for Jane Doe, John Doe, Treasurer).
Client assigns to The Wright State Guardian all rights, title and interest to all layouts and original art produced by The Wright State Guardian.
A signed model release is required for all persons pictured if photographs are included with an advertisement.
The Wright State Guardian will not knowingly accept any advertisement that is defamatory, promotes academic dishonesty, or otherwise violates any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations.

Classifieds of a business nature may not appear in the “personal” classification. Classifieds will not be intentionally misclassified at the request of Client. Personal ads may contain first names and last initials only.
Proofs requiring changes initiated by Client will be corrected with or without additional charge depending on the extensiveness of the revisions and the amount of typesetting, design or photographic work required.
Contracted space is for the sole use of Client and may not be assigned to or used by any other individual or entity without the advance written approval of The Wright State Guardian.
Client assumes full liability for advertisements and links and agrees to be responsible to and hold The Wright State Guardian and Wright State University harmless for any actions, claims, demands, losses, damages or other liability that may result from the client providing material (e.g. providing copyrighted artwork without authorization).
All advertisements shall have a clear statement of a bona fide offer or announcement made in good faith.
Anonymous advertisements are not permitted, and will not be published. Client must provide its contact name, business name, address and phone number to The Wright State Guardian.
All advertising copy and design must be provided by Client to The Wright State Guardian at least one week prior to onset date. Copy or design delivered electronically may not be considered camera-ready and is subject to normal deadlines. Copy and design received after the deadline is not guaranteed a proof. Late copy or design will be assessed a $25 fee.
The Wright State Guardian is not responsible for errors on advertisements in which advertising copy or design is delivered past deadline.
Copy or design regulations are subject to change without advance notice.
