If the week prior to publication includes a holiday, all deadlines are 24 hours earlier.

Frequency Rates Frequency rates are determined by the number of insertions within the contract period, based on a signed contract. Unfulfilled contracts will be charged the difference between the contract and the earned rates for ads run. 6x contracts must be used within 13 weeks, 13x contracts within 26 weeks. Maximum contract length is one year.
