CABLECAST OF YOUR ADVERTISEMENT
Initially the ads will be cablecast on Channel 63 of the System, but HomeStation TV reserves the right to change that channel from time-to-time in its sole discretion without providing notice to you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement that you may have with HomeStation TV, you will not receive any details of the duration, cost, date or time of the cablecast of your advertisement with your invoice, and you may not terminate your advertising contract online. Removing or deactivating listings from the HomeView website does not constitute or imply termination of the Agency contract. Listing reservations will not be refunded even if reservations have gone unused. System may substitute for the cablecast of your advertisement any matter that System deems, in its sole discretion, to be of greater local or national importance and the cablecast of your advertisement is preemptible in accordance with HomeStation TV’s standard traffic policies. If System does not cablecast or post part or all of your advertisement at any stipulated time, System may cablecast your advertisement at subsequent times. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if your advertisement airs on the System for at least ninety percent (90%) of the time ordered, you agree to pay in full.

If a Force Majeure Event affects our performance under this Agreement, you agree to pay in full once an average of seventy percent (70%) of the System’s cable nodes are functioning in any twenty-four (24) hour period in a way that gives the majority of subscribers in the applicable area the ability to receive the Service on which your advertisement airs.
TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION
If you advertise on this Site, any material that you provide to us or that we develop for you for the Site or for cablecast on the System may be destroyed by HomeStation TV upon expiration or termination of your listing.

REFUND GUIDELINES
We adhere to the following guidelines for requests for refunds of listing fees:

A refund will be provided by us only for the following reasons: (i) your listing is materially different from what you ordered and you wish to cancel the listing, or (ii) you mistakenly ordered duplicate listings and seek to cancel and obtain a refund on one of the duplicate listings only. 3. We cannot provide a refund for any other reason. For example, we cannot provide a refund if you change your mind about the listing or its content, or if you have made mistakes in submitting the listing, or if you have not received any inquiries or offers to purchase the merchandise through the Site, or if the merchandise has already been sold through other means. We also cannot provide a refund if we made mistakes in the content of the listing, unless the erroneous listing is materially different from what you ordered. In a case where we have made a mistake, we will make the necessary corrections to the listing. 4. If you made minor mistakes submitting your listing, or if you change your mind about specific content, we will make the appropriate corrections to the listing.
