Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: [Insert effective date]

Last Updated: [Insert last updated date]

Welcome to the website of Open Plains Media LLC (“Open Plains Media,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.openplainsmedia.com and any related pages, forms, content, and services made available through the website (collectively, the “Website”).

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. Purpose of the Website

Open Plains Media is an advertising and marketing business that offers, or may offer, services including:

  • Direct-mail marketing campaigns
  • Shared-mail postcard advertising
  • Advertising on specials boards placed in local businesses
  • Related advertising, marketing, design, placement, distribution, and promotional services

The Website is provided for general informational and business-inquiry purposes. It is intended to help prospective customers learn about our company, services, process, products, and frequently asked questions, and to allow interested businesses to request information or a consultation.

Information on the Website is not an offer to sell a particular advertising package, an agreement to provide services, or a guarantee of availability, pricing, placement, distribution area, response rate, sales results, customer traffic, or other outcome.

2. No Contract Through Website Inquiry

Submitting an inquiry, contact form, email, or other communication through the Website does not create a client relationship, advertising agreement, agency relationship, partnership, joint venture, or other contractual relationship between you and Open Plains Media.

A binding agreement for advertising or related services exists only when Open Plains Media and the applicable customer enter into a separate written agreement, proposal, insertion order, service agreement, invoice, or other document accepted by both parties.

Any such separate agreement will govern the applicable services, including scope of work, payment, deadlines, creative approvals, production specifications, distribution or placement details, cancellation terms, and any performance-related terms.

3. Business Inquiries

The Website may allow you to submit an inquiry by providing information such as your name, phone number, email address, business name, and a message describing your business, products, services, or advertising needs.

When submitting an inquiry, you represent and warrant that:

  • The information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.
  • You are authorized to submit the inquiry on behalf of the business identified.
  • You will not submit false, misleading, unlawful, defamatory, obscene, infringing, or harmful content.
  • You will not submit confidential information, payment-card data, Social Security numbers, medical information, passwords, or other sensitive information through the inquiry form.
  • Your inquiry does not violate any applicable law or the rights of another person or entity.

We may contact you using the phone number, email address, or other contact information you provide in order to respond to your inquiry, discuss potential services, provide requested information, or conduct reasonable business follow-up.

4. Marketing Communications

By providing your contact information through the Website, you authorize Open Plains Media to contact you regarding your inquiry and potential business relationship by phone, email, or other reasonable communication methods.

If you choose to receive promotional emails from us, you may opt out of future marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting us at [insert business email address]. Opting out of marketing messages does not prevent us from sending non-promotional communications regarding an existing inquiry, service request, agreement, invoice, or business relationship.

If Open Plains Media later uses text-message marketing or automated calling systems, additional consent language and procedures may be required. Do not add such communications without updating these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the applicable form language.

5. Advertising Services and Results

Advertising effectiveness depends on many factors outside Open Plains Media’s control, including offer quality, pricing, market conditions, customer demand, timing, competition, design approvals, distribution conditions, consumer behavior, business operations, and the customer’s ability to respond to leads.

Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement signed or accepted by Open Plains Media:

  • We do not guarantee sales, revenue, leads, customer traffic, response rates, return on investment, or any other business result.
  • We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of any specific mail route, mailing area, board location, business venue, ad space, print quantity, audience size, distribution date, or placement duration.
  • Examples, testimonials, illustrations, and case studies are for general informational purposes and do not guarantee that you will achieve similar results.
  • Estimates, projected timelines, proposed distribution areas, sample designs, and pricing are subject to change until confirmed in a separate agreement.

6. Customer Advertising Materials

If you become a customer and provide logos, images, text, trademarks, offers, coupons, business information, promotions, or other advertising materials (“Customer Materials”), you represent that you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, permissions, and approvals to use those materials.

You are responsible for ensuring that Customer Materials and the advertised products, services, offers, claims, promotions, pricing, and business practices comply with all applicable laws, regulations, industry rules, and third-party rights.

Open Plains Media may decline, remove, suspend, or request changes to any advertising content that we reasonably believe is unlawful, misleading, deceptive, offensive, infringing, unsafe, technically unsuitable, inconsistent with a venue’s standards, or otherwise inappropriate for distribution or placement.
