Published 12 times annually: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November (Buyers Guide) and December. Publication dates usually fall on the 25th of the month preceding the issue date, the exception being the November issue, which is published about the 15th of November.

Billing is issued on scheduled publication dates. Terms are net 30 days. A late charge of 11/2% per month will be imposed on past-due accounts. Full payment is required for all reserved space whether or not it is used. Advertising will not be accepted from delinquent accounts. In the event the advertiser and/or agency default in payment of bills, the advertiser and/or agency will be liable for all fees and sums of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred by the publisher in the collection of said bills. Bills are turned over for legal collection at 100 days. Jurisdiction and venue for any litigation ensuing from advertising placed in CTE shall properly lie in Cook County, Illinois.

Advertisers will be short-rated if, within 1 year (12 issues) from the date of first insertion, they do not use the amount of space upon which their billings have been based. Advertisers will be rebated if, within 1 year (12 issues) from the date of first insertion, they have used sufficient additional space to warrant a lower rate than that at which they have been billed.

Contracts, with the exception of covers and guaranteed positions, may be cancelled by advertiser or publisher on written notice in advance of closing date.

Advertisers and advertising agencies assume liability for all content and assume responsibility for any claims or fees arising therefrom against the publisher. The publisher reserves the right to reject any advertising that does not conform to the publication’s standards. Any deliberate attempt to simulate the publication’s format is not permitted, and the publisher reserves the right to place the word “advertisement” with copy that, in the publisher’s opinion, resembles editorial matter.
