Advertising Policies

DURATION

Ad plans begin when advertisers provide an approved ad creative and pay for their plan.

Ad plans end 1 year after they begin.

PAYMENT

Ad plans are paid in advance.

Payment can be made using credit/debit cards, cash, checks, and bank transfers.

Bitterroot Info utilizes Stripe payment processing for ad plan payments and management. By purchasing an ad plan, advertisers authorize Bitterroot Info and Stripe to charge their provided payment method for the amount corresponding to their selected ad plan.

RENEWAL

Ad plans are not automatically renewed at the end of the ad term.

Advertisers may have the option to renew their ad plan at the end of the ad term, subject to current ad plan pricing and details.

CANCELLATION

Ad plans can be cancelled by the advertiser at any time via email.

No refunds will be made for unused portions of prepaid ad plans.
