However, CBC, in its sole discretion, may require advance payment in full. CBC reserves the right to adjust rates based on demand and availability, with written notice to Client. Upon such notice, Client may cancel the order, with written notice, within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice.

If Applicant is an advertiser, Applicant acknowledges it has the authority to purchase advertising inventory from Station. If Applicant is an advertising agency or another service entity purchasing Services on behalf of a third party (a “Third Party”), Applicant acknowledges that it has the authority to purchase advertising inventory from Station on behalf of the Third Party. Notwithstanding the above, Applicant is jointly and severally liable for the timely payment of all invoices. Invoices are due within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. Any dispute by Applicant of any advertising or invoice amount must be reported to the Station in writing within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the related invoice. Failure to report a dispute within the timeframe will constitute a waiver of any claim by Applicant.  A pending dispute will not affect the Applicant’s obligation to make payment of all non-disputed amounts within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Applicant certifies that all statements and information provided to Station, including any requested financial statements are true, correct, and complete. Station is hereby authorized to verify Applicant’s credit worthiness through any source available to it.
