  1. ORDERS FOR ADVERTISEMENTS:
    All orders or other requests for advertising, whether from an advertiser (whether made by the advertiser directly, or through an agency) (collectively, "Advertiser"), are governed by these standard terms and conditions and the attached Insertion Order (collectively, the "Agreement"). No other conditions, provisions, or terms of any sort appearing in any writings or other communications made in connection with such orders, including without limitation those contained on or accompanying checks or other forms of payment, shall be binding on Family Pet Services.com("Family Pet Services"), whether in conflict with or in addition to these standard terms and conditions. Orders which quote rates which vary from the rates listed in Family Pet Services' then-current rate card shall not be binding on Family Pet Services, and shall be deemed requests for advertising at then-current rates. Orders are binding on Advertiser and not subject to cancellation, except as provided below under Section 4.

    Family Pet Services' offer to publish advertisements for Advertiser is made on these standard terms and conditions only, and the placement or other communication of an order for advertising with Family Pet Services shall constitute Advertiser's unconditional acceptance of these standard terms and conditions; no acceptance shall be effective until it is received by Family Pet Services in Atlanta, GA.

Advertiser acknowledges that time is of the essence in providing the foregoing to Family Pet Services, and Advertiser's failure to meet the foregoing time requirements or any applicable specifications may delay or prevent delivery of the advertisements hereunder. Family Pet Services may terminate this Agreement due to Advertiser's inability to comply with such instructions without further obligation to Advertiser, however, Advertiser will remain obligated to pay Family Pet Services the fees due for such time period within thirty (30) days of the date of termination.

IF EITHER PARTY CANCELS, ADVERTISER'S SOLE REMEDY WILL BE A REFUND OF ANY PRE-PAID FEES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES OWED TO Family Pet Services FOR THE AD REQUESTS DELIVERED PRIOR TO CANCELLATION AND WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER Family Pet Services' NOTICE OF TERMINATION. IF AD REQUESTS ARE NOT THE RELEVANT STANDARD HEREIN, ADVERTISER'S SOLE REMEDY WILL BE A PRO-RATED REFUND FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME BEYOND THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER CANCELLATION. THIS RELEASE OF ADVERTISER'S COMMITMENT IS ADVERTISER'S SOLE REMEDY AND NEITHER Family Pet Services WILL HAVE ANY OTHER LIABILITY OF ANY NATURE TO ADVERTISER.
