Editorial Review

All advertisements are subject to editorial review and approval by BPIA. Acceptance of payment does not guarantee publication. BPIA may request revisions to submitted materials or decline advertisements that do not meet these guidelines. If an advertisement is declined and cannot be revised to meet BPIA's standards, a refund may be issued at BPIA's discretion.

Advertiser Responsibility

The advertiser certifies that:

• They have the legal authority to submit all text, images, logos, and other materials.

• All submitted content is accurate and does not violate any copyright, trademark, privacy, or other legal rights.

• Any claims made within the advertisement are the sole responsibility of the advertiser.

Publication Rights

By submitting advertising materials, the advertiser grants BPIA permission to publish the approved advertisement in the digital edition of BPIA Elevate Magazine and to promote the publication through BPIA's communication channels, including its website, newsletters, and social media.

Payment & Refunds

Advertising placements are reserved upon receipt of payment. Refund requests will be considered prior to the start of magazine production. Once editorial review, design, or magazine production has begun, advertising purchases are generally non-refundable unless BPIA determines otherwise.

By proceeding with your purchase, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms & Conditions.
