BLNT ADVERTISING TERMS
Empress Empire LLC presents BLNT News & Media
Effective Date: October 4, 2026
Version: 1.0
1. SCOPE
These Advertising Terms apply to advertising, sponsored placements, branded campaigns, and related promotional services accepted by BLNT News & Media. A campaign-specific Advertising Agreement, insertion order, invoice, proposal, or written approval may add or modify terms for a particular campaign.
2. ACCEPTANCE
BLNT may accept, reject, pause, request changes to, or remove advertising that conflicts with law, platform requirements, technical specifications, publication standards, audience safety, brand standards, or available inventory.
3. ADVERTISER RESPONSIBILITY
The advertiser is responsible for the accuracy, legality, substantiation, permissions, licenses, claims, offers, pricing, trademarks, endorsements, disclosures, and destination links contained in advertiser-supplied materials.
4. CREATIVE DEADLINES
Advertisers must provide required creative, approvals, links, and information by communicated deadlines. Late or incomplete materials may delay a campaign without obligating BLNT to displace other scheduled inventory.
5. EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Advertising, sponsorship, partnership, payment, event listing, or distribution relationship does not purchase or guarantee editorial coverage, favorable treatment, reviews, interviews, or placement in editorial content.
6. SPONSORED IDENTIFICATION
BLNT may label paid or sponsored material using terms such as Advertisement, Sponsored, Paid Partnership, Presented By, or other disclosure reasonably appropriate to the format.
7. PAYMENT
Campaign pricing and payment schedule are controlled by the applicable Advertising Agreement, invoice, or written order. Checks, money orders, and similar mailed payments must be payable to Empress Empire LLC. Mailing address: 332 S Michigan Suite 121 #5522, Chicago, IL 60604. Unless a written agreement states otherwise, amounts due remain payable despite advertiser delay in supplying materials when BLNT has reserved inventory or performed agreed work.
8. CANCELLATION / CHANGES
Cancellation, rescheduling, make-good, credit, and change rights are governed by the campaign-specific agreement. BLNT does not promise refunds unless expressly stated in writing. Where applicable, account credits may be offered under the controlling agreement.
9. PERFORMANCE
BLNT does not guarantee impressions, clicks, sales, conversions, attendance, revenue, press coverage, follower growth, or other business outcomes unless a specific measurable guarantee is expressly included in a signed written agreement.
10. RESTRICTED MATERIAL
BLNT may decline unlawful, deceptive, infringing, discriminatory, defamatory, unsafe, exploitative, or otherwise inappropriate advertising. Age-restricted or regulated categories may require additional review, disclosures, geographic limitations, or rejection.
11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The advertiser grants Empress Empire LLC and BLNT the limited rights reasonably necessary to reproduce, resize, format, display, distribute, and archive supplied advertising materials for the contracted campaign and related proof-of-performance records.
12. BLNT-CREATED CREATIVE
Ownership and reuse rights for creative produced by BLNT are governed by the applicable written agreement. Payment for placement does not automatically transfer BLNT's underlying design, photography, production, or other intellectual-property rights.
13. ERRORS / MAKE-GOODS
Advertisers should report material placement errors promptly. Where BLNT determines a material error was caused by BLNT, the appropriate remedy may include correction, replacement placement, extension, or account credit depending on the circumstances and controlling agreement.
