● Price validity
All commercial costings mentioned in this document are only valid for the next 30 days from the date the proposal was sent via email. If you plan to send a Purchase Order after 30 days have passed, please make sure to check with us again to confirm the price and terms before issuing the purchase order.
● Publisher Reservations
As the content is placed on the Publisher’s content platform or websites, there may be instances where the Publisher is not comfortable executing the order due to direct agreements or engagements with the Advertiser. In such cases, the price quoted by the Publisher may vary, and they may charge a premium on the cost or refuse to publish the content altogether. If the Publisher refuses to publish the content due to price issues, we will be forced to cancel the Purchase Order from our side as well, as we do not control the price in such situations.
Although the prices have been confirmed by the publishers for this proposal as of the current date (with a price validity of 30 days from them as well), they are subject to change based on our working relationship with the publishers. The proposal price may vary depending on the specific advertiser(s) and agency seeking the prices. Therefore, please confirm with us before making any last-minute changes to the order, in case the publishers have not adhered to the specified timelines.

● Article Publishing
Ideally, it takes 1 to 5 working days for the publisher to publish the article after we send them the confirmed article. Since native brand articles are published in specialized sections of the publisher’s platform, the article’s placement needs to be booked in advance.
Therefore, we recommend that agencies or advertisers send us the content at least one week before the desired publishing date to allow for availability checks. While urgent cases can be accommodated based on priority, to avoid last-minute delays, we request considering a timeline of 7 to 10 working days for publishing. If the websites are operating outside of India or experiencing heavy publishing loads, it may take up to 14 working days.
● Turn Around Time (TAT)
The turnaround time for publishing, as mentioned above, can extend up to 7 to 15 working days after we receive the confirmed final content.
● Publisher Delay
Sometimes, the publisher may need to internally verify previous activities or check availability for branded content placement/integration. As a result, there may be a delay in obtaining a proper confirmed publishing date from the publisher(s). While we confirm this information after receiving the Purchase Order (PO) or Release Order (RO) from the client/agency, it generally takes 1-4 working days to obtain the confirmed publishing date.
● Editing

Samples shared in commercials guide the decision-making process, but if they are not included, the editorial team decides based on the article content or website design.
