Advertising Policy
Guidelines for advertising
1. All advertisements in the Journal, or email marketing affiliated with the Journal, or the Journal’s website (hereinafter referred to as “Advertising Locations”) are subject to approval of the Journal’s Editor-in-Chief and MJS Publishing. The Editor-in-Chief or MJS Publishing shall not unreasonably withhold such approval.
2. Advertising will always be separate from the Journal’s content and will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
3. Advertisers (and sponsors, if any) have no advance knowledge of the Journal’s editorial content, nor will the Editor-in-Chief or MJS Publishing create content to accommodate advertising. MJS Publishing’s sales representatives have no control over, or prior knowledge of, the content.
4. Advertisers do not influence any of the Editor-in-Chief’s or MJS Publishing’s editorial decisions or advertising policies.
5. All advertisements must clearly identify the advertiser by trademark, brand and/or advertiser’s name.
6. Advertised products and/or services must comply with the regulations in the country where the advertisement will be seen.
7. The appearance of an advertisement in the Advertising Locations does not serve as an endorsement of the given product, service, company, or of the claims made in such advertising by the Editor-in-Chief, the Journal or MJS Publishing.
8. Advertisers have no control or influence over the results of searches a user may conduct on the Journal. Search results are based solely on the functionality available through the Journal’s search software (e.g., keywords or natural language) and user-defined criteria (e.g., displaying most recent or most relevant items first).
9. In consideration of the publication of an advertisement, the advertiser and the agency, jointly and separately, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Journal, the Journal’s Editor-in-Chief and/or MJS Publishing, its officers, agents, and employees against any expenses, including, but not limited to any legal fees, and losses resulting from the publication of the content of the advertisement, claims or suits for libel, violation of privacy, copyright infringement, or plagiarism. MJS Publishing is not responsible for any damages, including but not limited to actual, direct, incidental, or consequential damages, or for errors in displaying an advertisement.
10. References, if any, to MJS Publishing or its products or services in advertisements, promotional material, or merchandising by the advertiser or the agency is subject to the MJS Publishing’s written approval for each such use.
11. Any use of the Journal’s or MJS Publishing’s publication trademarks and/or copyrighted material for links to and from the Journal’s and/or MJS publishing websites must be approved, in advance, by MJS Publishing. Any unauthorized linking is prohibited.
12. Advertisements for recruitment or employment must be nondiscriminatory and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
