Advertisements may be pulled at the discretion of the Editorial Board. The newspaper accepts copy only by publishing it. All advertising acceptance is subject to space and color availability, as outlined in the newspaper s policy, which is incorporated herein by reference and made part of this agreement. 4) None of the terms and conditions of this agreement may be altered except in writing, signed by an authorized representative of the Advertiser and/or City Times. 5) All rate quotes are for single advertisers only. 6) All advertisement copy that represents the creative effort of City Times and/or the utilization of creativity, illustration, labor, composition or material furnished by the newspaper, is and remains the property of the newspaper, including all rights of copyright therein.
