8 The Fine Print All sponsorships must be paid in advance before the stated deadline. All sponsorships shall be of RMGPA or RMGPA-related programs or shall be of potential benefit to RMGPA and its members as determined by RMGPA. All sponsorships shall be formatted as sponsorships with no specific offers, pricing or comparative statements of any kind. The presence of an sponsorship on any RMGPA publication does not imply endorsement of the company or product. No sponsorships from tobacco, alcohol or medical marijuana suppliers will be accepted. No sponsorships of religious nature or containing political content will be accepted. Sponsors must be in good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State. Sponsors shall not be listed on the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). Sponsorships that may cause conflict of interest with RMGPA programs will be discussed with the responsible RMGPA party. Unresolved conflicts may result in sponsorships being refused or pulled. If a sponsorship is pulled by RMGPA for any reason, the sponsor shall be relieved of liability for payment of a pro rata portion of the contract price, calculated by dividing the total number of inserts included in the contract price by the number of inserts that are canceled as a result of RMGPA s action. Nothing in this section shall permit a sponsor to receive any refund, credit or forgiveness of payment if the sponsor decides to withdraw an insert prior to the publication deadline. RMGPA will not share event attendee lists with Sponsors with the exception of the Reverse Vendor Trade Show. RMGPA will have sole and absolute discretion with respect to interpretation and enforcement of this policy and all other issues associated with sponsorships with RMGPA. Our sponsorship policy may be revised periodically.
