Frequency & Combination Discounts: Advertisers will

insertions during the contract period counting space used in
both Runner Triathlete News (RTN) and Inside Texas

for earlier insertions upon reaching certain frequency levels,
but will be charged at the lowest qualified frequency rate for
the current insertions.
Short Rates: Advertisers who use less than their
specified contracted amount will be rebilled an additional
charge adjusted to the rate actually earned.
Dual Discount: Advertisers placing the same ad in both
RTN & ITR the same month or successive months will
receive an additional 10% discount off their qualified frequency
discount.

there will be a charged fee. Other services required to meet
specifications or advertiser demands, including furnishing
proofs, will be billed at prevailing rates.
