Standard Advertising Terms and Conditions
Woof Boom Radio Standard Advertising Terms and Conditions
The organization (“AGENCY” or “ADVERTISER,” as the case may be) contracting for the purchase of
advertising covered by these Standard Advertising Terms and Conditions and Woof Boom Radio LLC (or
an affiliate thereof) (“WBR” OR “STATION”) (and Jointly recognized as the “PARTIES”) hereby agree that
all advertising placed by AGENCY or ADVERTISER with the STATION shall be governed by the following
terms and conditions (the “AGREEMENT”):
NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY
Following Paragraphs 49 and 50 of the United States Federal Communications Commission Report and
Order No. FCC 07-217, Woof Boom Radio or its Stations does not discriminate in the sale of advertising
time and will not accept advertising that intends to discriminate based on race or ethnicity. Any
provision in any order or agreement for advertising that purports to discriminate or has the effect of
discriminating based on race or ethnicity is hereby declared null and void. ADVERTISER and/or AGENCY
represents and warrants that it is not purchasing advertising time from STATION intended to
discriminate based on race or ethnicity.
SPONSORSHIP IDENTIFICATION
The Parties agree to work together to follow all aspects of Section 317 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 317. Additionally, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has
adopted a rule, 47 CFR § 73.1212, which sets forth the responsibilities to make this sponsorship
identification. The Act requires all commercial announcements airing on the STATION to disclose the
payor or Sponsor of the announcement. If a commercial does not identify the Sponsor, the station may, at
its discretion, tag and edit the commercial to comply with the FCC Rules.
PAYMENT AND BILLING
(a) STATION will bill the AGENCY or ADVERTISER monthly, using the Final Sunday Fiscal Month, unless
otherwise provided on the face of the Contract.
a. Payment by AGENCY or ADVERTISER is due within ten (10) days of the invoice date unless
otherwise specified by the STATION.
b. AGENCY or ADVERTISER waives any billing dispute if AGENCY or ADVERTISER does not notify
STATION of such dispute in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice
containing such amount in dispute. If AGENCY or ADVERTISER timely notifies STATION of
such dispute, AGENCY or ADVERTISER and STATION shall work diligently with each other
toward a resolution. Still, any amount not in dispute shall be promptly paid as described
herein.
c. Payments by established and recognized advertising agencies for on-air advertising shall be
subject to a 15% AGENCY discount on cash payments only, except for non-commissionable
amounts or as otherwise stated herein or in a governing master contract.
(b) For on-air advertising, upon request, STATION shall provide proof of performance specifying the
exact times when commercials were aired taken from the official log maintained by STATION.
(c) If an AGENCY enters into this AGREEMENT, then AGENCY agrees that ADVERTISER and AGENCY
are jointly and severally purchasing the advertising hereunder and acknowledges that any credit
that STATION has extended has been extended based on the credit and promise to pay of both
AGENCY and ADVERTISER. The AGENCY represents and warrants that it is authorized to bind the
ADVERTISER and agrees that the AGENCY and ADVERTISER shall be jointly and severally liable for
the payments made under this AGREEMENT. Sequential liability is not accepted unless expressly
agreed to in writing by STATION management.
EXTENSIONS AND RENEWALS
Extensions or renewals of this Contract shall be subject to prior approval by STATION and shall be at the
rates in effect at the time of said extension or renewal as set forth on STATION’s then-published rate card.
CANCELLATIONS AND TERMINATION
The AGENCY or ADVERTISER may cancel or terminate the Contract early only with the approval of the
Woof Boom Radio General Manager; such consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided it meets
the following conditions.
(a) Current advertising rates will apply if the AGENCY or ADVERTISER cancels or terminates the
Contract. Broadcasting done hereunder and not paid or revoked by the AGENCY or ADVERTISER
shall become immediately due and payable at the earned rate. Additionally, the AGENCY and
ADVERTISER are liable for any received discounts, earned rates, or fees incurred by the STATION if
this Contract is terminated before its end date.
(b) On-air commercial announcements or programs of less than 5 minutes duration may be canceled by
STATION, AGENCY, or ADVERTISER upon fourteen (14) days prior written notice. Still, no such
cancellation shall be effective until fourteen (14) days after the initial start of broadcasting
hereunder otherwise stated on the face of confirmation.
(c) STATION, AGENCY, or ADVERTISER may cancel on-air programs of 5 minutes or longer upon
twenty-eight (28) days prior notice. Still, no such cancellation shall be effective until twenty-eight
(28) days after the broadcasting starts hereunder unless otherwise stated on the face of
confirmation.
(d) All other advertising may be canceled immediately by STATION and upon fourteen (14) days prior
written notice by AGENCY or ADVERTISER.
The STATION may terminate the contract under the following conditions:
(a) Upon default by AGENCY or ADVERTISER in the payment of bills or other material breach of the
terms hereof at any time upon one day’s notice.
a. Upon such termination, all charges for advertising completed hereunder and not paid shall
become immediately due and payable.
b. If STATION terminates because of AGENCY’s or ADVERTISER’s material breach, AGENCY’s or
ADVERTISER’s liability shall be to pay not only for advertising completed hereunder before the
termination by STATION but for advertising to be completed after that under the Contract, less
only the STATION’s actual cost savings realized on account of termination (such as fees to live
talent that is cancellable at the time of termination of the Contract).
(b) In the event of a material breach by STATION in performing this Contract, the AGENCY or
ADVERTISER reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time upon one (1) day’s prior
notice.
In no event shall STATION be liable or responsible for any incidental, special, consequential, or punitive
damages (including, without limitation, lost profits, promotional costs, or costs of other media) relating
to the performance or breach of this AGREEMENT, whether arising in Contract, tort or
otherwise. STATION’s total liability to AGENCY and ADVERTISER for any violation of or failure to
perform this AGREEMENT shall be limited to a refund of any amounts paid to STATION under this
AGREEMENT regardless of whether such liability arises in Contract, tort, or otherwise.
FAILURE TO BROADCAST/PUBLISH
If, for any reason, there is an interruption or omission of any advertising contracted to be broadcast or
published hereunder, STATION may suggest a substitute time-period for the broadcast/publication of the
interrupted or omitted advertising. If no such substitute time-period is acceptable to AGENCY or
ADVERTISER, STATION shall provide AGENCY or ADVERTISER with the following: (1) for an on-air
program, a pro-rata reduction in the time and/or program charges hereunder in the amount of money
assigned to the time and/or program charges at the time of purchase; (2) for an on-air commercial
announcement, a reduction in the time charges equal to the amount of money assigned to the commercial
announcement at the time of purchase; and (3) for all other advertising, a pro-rata reduction of charges
hereunder. The preceding shall be STATION’s sole liability for any failure to broadcast/publish any
advertising hereunder. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE STATION BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE.
SUBSTITUTION OF PROGRAMS OF PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE
(a) STATION shall have the right to cancel any purchased advertising or portion covered by this
Contract to broadcast any program (or publish any content) which, in its absolute discretion, it
deems public significance. In any such case, STATION will notify AGENCY or ADVERTISER in
advance if reasonably possible. Still, where such notice cannot reasonably be given, STATION will
notify AGENCY or ADVERTISER promptly after such scheduled broadcast/publication has been
canceled.
(b) If AGENCY or ADVERTISER and STATION cannot agree upon a satisfactory substitute day and time,
the broadcast/publication time so preempted shall be deemed canceled without affecting the rates,
discounts, or rights provided under this Contract, except that AGENCY or ADVERTISER shall not
have to pay the canceled STATION charges.

the time/advertising reserved. Despite late receipt, STATION will use reasonable commercial
efforts to broadcast/publish material received from AGENCY or ADVERTISER.
