The Fine Print |
| Each image must measure 1000 pixels wide by 100 pixels high, and must be in jpg or gif format. Each image may have one link to another web site. Because the Gabriola Chamber of Commerce wants to maintain its site as a resource for local businesses and the community in general, we want to be sure that any advertising space on the web site conforms to our own standards, and does not detract from the overall appearance and objectives of the Chamber and the site. Therefore, any advertisements are subject to approval by the Gabriola Island Chamber of Commerce. Images will be uploaded to the Chamber's web site at no cost, but any changes will be subject to a charge for the time involved in changing the web site content. Payments may be made in advance, for up to one year. If you pay in advance, your cost will remain at that agreed price until the end of the term of your promotional contract with us. Apart from that, prices are subject to change, and must first be confirmed with the Gabriola Island Chamber of Commerce. |
