Free standing inserts ( FSI ) rates are not based solely on circulation or distribution. We cannot guaranty the amount of daily or Sunday newspapers sold or distributed. The following policies are applicable to the inclusion of free-standing inserts ( FSI ) in our newspaper and related publications: FSIs are billed for quantities ordered and inserted. Distribution quantities are forecasted based upon available information.

Excess If no instructions are provided for excess inserts, at our discretion, we will: (i) insert the excess in adjacent zoned areas, (ii) insert the excess in other products to completely fulfill the order. Any excess after this will be destroyed. Shortages If no instructions are provided for shortages, we will insert what is available without regard for zoned areas covered. If instructed, we will endeavor to cover specific zones first. Out of Spec Inserts o FSIs not meeting the specifications set forth in our preprint specifications and requirements policy may pose problems for machine insertion. If accepted every attempt will be made to fulfill the order and the advertiser will be billed for ordered and inserted amount.
