• Images may also portray a the general theme of your ad; such as an image of a 'beautiful flowers' could be used for a botanical garden ad.

• Banners may contain the name of your business only if it is part of the original photo taken - such as signage on an existing building.

• With the exception of our Logo allowance for "Featured Listings" only (*see below*), absolutely no logos shall be permitted on any other listing types offered. In addition, any over-layed text as shown in the "Ferris Wheel" example below is not permitted on any listing type.

We want your images to be clear, crisp and clean of any "text debris" which may cause a viewer's eyes to wander away from your ad.

• "A picture is worth a thousand words", so please upload images which peak viewers curiosity while still portraying your business.

Ad is acceptable - no logos present and imagery is clear & depictive.

Ad is not acceptable due to text overlay. No overlays or logos permitted in ads.

Logos only allowed on "Featured Listings". Must be corporate branded, professionally designed, transparent and must fit in either the far left or far right bottom corner and must not exceed a 50 x 50 pixel area.

Ad Specification Terms:
Showcase, Premier, Spotlight and Featured listings are sold as a rotation style ads which are displayed in equally shared impression rotation with all other same category type ads within a city. Upon each page refresh, ads may appear in different locations on a page but will always appear within the same category type within a city. Guaranteed placement locations are NOT available for Showcase, Premier, Spotlight or Featured listings and their placement may adjust anywhere on the page within the same category type within a city at our discretion.

Payment for ads must always be received prior to any ad going 'live'. Advertiser is responsible to provide for all ad content including image banners, titles, and text descriptions in a timely manner; unless design services have been requested by us for an additional cost. Ads will not go 'live' until all ad content has been submitted and approved by us.

Dated events such as concerts, shows or plays which end on a specific date may only be run consecutively for one (1) full-length ad term or a maximum of 6 months whichever is lesser; however such dated ad listings shall terminate on the day after the last show date (known as the 'expiration date'). The ad costs for a dated venue or event shall be that of one (1) full length ad term (regardless of whether the ad listing is terminated sooner due to the event's expiration date). NO PRORATION'S OR REFUNDS shall be entitled or given for dated event ads which are terminated sooner due to their expiration. Such dated event ads shall automatically be terminated and removed from the site on the day after the last show date (expiration date).

Except in the case of an error in typography, all supplied banner(s) and ad text may not be changed once ad is approved by us and goes 'live' on the site. The only exception to this clause is during the 1 month renewal period during which you may supply us with new ad banner(s) and/or text to be changed for the forthcoming renewing ad period.

We reserve all rights to approve or disapprove all ads being submitted for any reason. We also reserve the right to modify ads submitted in any way we see fit including but not limited to: correct punctuation, reduce caps, preserve proper sentence structure, reduce overall text length, compress and/or adjust image size, etc. We may ask for you to modify or replace certain banner ad images and/or text submitted to us if our editors have any concerns. Carefully following these guidelines set forth below will reduce any such occurrence.

At time of renewal, you will be emailed a renewal invoice 1 month prior to your ad term expiration. If you choose to renew you same ad type, please make your invoice payment and email us with any new updated banners and/or ad text to be replaced for the new ad term. Please note that you must provide us with any new updated banners and/or ad text prior to the current ad expiration date; so that we may make the necessary ad changes prior to the ad going 'live'. Should your renewal invoice go unpaid, your existing ad(s) shall be cancelled and removed from the site upon the term expiration. If you are wanting to place a totally different type of ad listing, please submit a new ad order from our website and disregard the renewal invoice.

All ads are sold on a per location / per venue / per attraction basis and absolutely no duplicate ad listings are allowed on any page or throughout the site. You may submit up to 3 different ads per property per city (i.e.. hotel, restaurant, attraction all at same property). All ads submitted must pertain to their specific city being listed within.

Optional custom ad banner/text design services requested during the purchase of any ad are non-refundable once design work has started and will take up to 5 business days to complete. You agree that stock photos shall be used for ad banners unless you otherwise provide us with specific photos which you would like us to use for your ad. Should you wish to have us use your photos, you agree to supply us with any and all requested sizes and styles necessary to properly complete the design work. You may also choose to provide us with your own text titles and/or descriptions, should you prefer our designers to not create these for you. Only (1) one revision in writing via email shall be allowed per each ad design ordered.
