D. PAYMENT PLANS • Monthly payment plans require a valid credit card on file with Workbook Creative. Automatic payments will be charged to the credit card on file according to the dates outlined below. It is the Advertiser’s responsibility to notify WCI prior to the monthly payment date if an alternate credit card is to be used. Monthly invoices will not be generated for payment plans.
12-Month Payment Plan: First payment is due at the time of reservation, and eleven more equal payments are due thereafter on or around the 11th of each month.
E. ARTWORK SPECIFICATIONS • Production guidelines, layout templates and a list of additional charges are available online at production.directoryofillustration.com.
Digital Artwork: All ads must be submitted to WCI in digital format and must be prepared according to WCI’s technical specifications. It is the Advertiser’s responsibility to submit artwork to meet these specifications. Production/page design fees and late artwork fees will be charged to the credit card on file upon review of the artwork (Summer 2024).
F. ARTWORK DEADLINE • Artwork is due to WCI by May 2, 2024. Artwork that is received after May 2nd will be subject to a late fee. Submitting artwork more than two weeks late (after May 15, 2024) may jeopardize the WB/DI 2025 production schedule, in which case WCI reserves the right to cancel this contract with no refund or transfer of amounts previously paid by Advertiser.
G. PAGE PLACEMENT • WCI will utilize its best efforts to obtain reproduction quality of the highest standards. Placement will be at the discretion of the Publisher unless special arrangements are made. However, ad placement in WORKBOOK’S Directory 2025 is determined, to a large extent, by the timeliness of Advertiser in submitting artwork.
H. PROOFS • One pre-press PDF proof will be sent electronically to each Advertiser prior to printing. Advertiser is responsible for reviewing the proof and communicating acceptance or corrections within 4 working days of transmittal to Advertiser.
I. PUBLICATION DATE • Publication is scheduled for January 2025, but WCI shall not be responsible for failure to publish by such time because of events beyond the Publisher’s control.
J. SUITABILITY OF MATERIALS • Publisher shall have the right to refuse to publish any materials which it deems, in its sole discretion, unsuitable for publication in WORKBOOK’S Directory 2025.
K. SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE • Workbook Creative reserves the right to post images uploaded by Advertiser on workbook.com, directoryofillustration.com, on our blogs, social media platforms, and other digital outlets for the purpose of promoting the Advertiser individually as well as on the workbook.com and directoryofillustration.com websites.
L. PAYMENTS, CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS & TERMINATION • All deposits and payments are for services rendered. All cancellations or changes to this contract must be in writing from Advertiser. Verbal cancellations will not be accepted. Upon receipt of this contract, WCI will immediately begin to render services to Advertiser. Due to the cost of production, paper, and such services as communication, accounting, marketing, and pre-production, we cannot allow refunds or transfers of payments to other WCI programs after deposits/payments are made. Please make sure you can meet the obligations of this contract before sending in your reservation. The liability of WCI shall be strictly limited to the refund to Advertiser of amounts previously paid in the event of any failure to include Advertiser’s page(s) in, or failure to publish, WORKBOOK’S Directory 2025.
M. WIRE TRANSFER FEES • An additional charge of $25 will be added to Advertiser’s account for each wire transaction. This is in addition to any fees that Advertiser’s financial institution may charge.
N. LATE PAYMENTS & COLLECTIONS • A late payment charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) will be applied to any late payment(s). Returned Checks: A returned check charge of $10 will apply for each check returned unpaid for any reason. Once an NSF check has been received, WCI reserves the right to accept payment(s) via credit card and cashier’s check only. Collection Fees: In the event that an account is sent to collections, any and all recovery costs associated with the collection of a past-due account will be the responsibility of the Advertiser.
O. DAMAGE OF MATERIALS • WCI requires high-quality duplicate materials for production. Original artwork should not be sent. Though caution will be exercised with all Advertiser’s artwork and digital data, Publisher assumes no responsibility for loss or damage.
P. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES • Advertiser warrants, represents, and agrees that all materials submitted to WCI will be free and clear and will not infringe on any copyright or other rights, including but not limited to rights of privacy, personal or property rights of any third party, and will be accurate and will not contain any matter that is scandalous, libelous, or in violation of any law or regulation.
Q. THIS CONTRACT SHALL BE INTERPRETED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
R. NOTES/ADDENDUM • No addendum to this contract will be valid unless initialed and dated by both Advertiser and a representative of WCI. All terms and conditions stated above are understood and accepted.
