to make any last minute changes when required. This must be done immediately.
If we do not hear from you within 24 hours, we will have to assume that
the advertiser has looked at the content of the ad, the design and layout
and has checked to see that no typographical errors appear. The ad will
appear as was faxed.

for said errors because Fax proofs were supplied to the Advertiser and the
Advertiser is responsible to contact our office and request corrections
and copy changes.
