CONTRACT AND COPY REGULATIONS FOR BUGLE
As the official journal of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Bugle reserves the right to refuse any advertisement that is not compatible with the Foundation's mission or objectives.
The mission of the Elk Foundation is, in part, to perpetuate wild, free-ranging elk which may be hunted and otherwise enjoyed. The Foundation fulfills this mission by protecting key wildlife habitat. We reject all advertisements for:
- the sale of live elk
- the sale of any hunting opportunity that fails to meet standards of fair chase (“guaranteed” kills, hunting inside fences, etc.)
- all contests, sweepstakes and raffle advertising
The Elk Foundation believes that hunting is a privilege that must be cherished and promoted with care and taste. Our readers appreciate advertisements for goods and services that help them celebrate the hunting experience and show respect for animals and the land. If you believe that images of dead animals are the most effective way to sell your products or services, please exercise good taste (avoid gory animals or tongues hanging out, people sitting on animals, kill-shot collages, etc.). If you sell products which have the potential to be used in disrespectful or unethical ways, please emphasize responsible use of your products.
The RMEF accepts and publishes all advertising materials with the understanding that the advertiser and/or advertising agency is properly authorized to publish the entire contents of the ad. By submitting an ad, the advertiser and/or advertising agency agrees to indemnify and hold the publisher harmless from and against any loss, expense or other liability resulting from any claims or suits that may arise out of the publication of such advertisement.
The RMEF is not responsible for loss or damage to ad material. All advertising material submitted becomes the property of RMEF.
Contracts must be bona fide and must specify a contract year and the number of insertions to be used. Two or more advertisers are not permitted to use space under the same contract.
The publisher reserves the right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency jointly and severally liable for such monies as is due and payable to the publisher.
The publisher shall in no event be liable for failure to publish advertising when specified by the advertiser, provided that if no advertising is published, any charges therefore received by the publisher shall be refunded.
The publisher’s liability for any error shall not exceed the cost of the space occupied.
Cancellations will not be accepted after closing date and none may be considered executed unless acknowledged in writing by the publisher.
The publisher will not be bound by conditions printed or appearing on order blanks or copy instructions which conflict with provisions of this rate card.
