Fine Cooking Audience Re-Targeting
       Drive business with first-party audience data
       What is first party audience data? Fine Cooking collects and analyzes data generated across web properties and our offline databases such as email,
       CRM and magazine subscriptions. We use this data to create custom audience segments based on customer and subscriber information, behavior, actions,
       interests, and occupations. We can then target these custom data segments on your behalf across channels—display, mobile (tablets and smartphone),
       social, and video inventory.

       Unique first-party audience data is an extremely valuable asset and provides marketers access to their ideal target audiences. Leveraging this data in your
       marketing efforts increases engagement, awareness, and effectiveness/ROI of your ad campaigns.

                           Work with your account manager to identify the exact audience segments you are looking to reach.
                           We will then build the ad program to target these Fine Cooking Audience segments.

                           Target your Audience:
                           Target your ideal audience across the web on leading sites such as the comScore top 1,000. Depending on the

       The liability of the Publisher for any error, delay, or commission for which it may be held legally responsible shall in no event exceed the cost of the space paid for and occupied by the error, and in
       no event shall the Publisher be liable for any loss of income, profit, or any other damages resulting from the error.
       The Publisher cannot assume responsibility for errors or omissions in key changes.
       Frequency Discounts
       Frequency rates are determined by the number of display insertions appearing within a 12-month period from the date of the first insertion. An advertising schedule of mixed-size ads may be used
       to earn a frequency discount.
       Frequency discounts also apply to marketplace advertising. Display advertisements, marketplace advertisements, cannot be mixed to earn frequency discounts. Unfulfilled contracts will be
       short-rated to the lowest rate earned.
       Combined Frequency
       In many cases we do offer combined frequency with other Taunton Press titles pursuant to the guidelines stated above.
       Other Discounts
       15% discount for “camera-ready” files prepared to our specifications. Ads are not camera-ready if they require more than a key change. Net due 30 days from invoice date. 2% of net discount if paid within
       10 days of invoice date. New advertisers must submit payment with first insertion. Credit references are given individual consideration for accredited agencies. Publisher-set ads do not qualify for discounts. A
       25% discount is available to advertisers able to produce evidence that they are educational enterprises, i.e., schools. The ad must be for an educational program. This discount is taken from the gross earned
       frequency rate and the resulting amount is commissionable.
       Special Ad Requests
       All special advertising requests, such as: inserts, gatefolds, A/B splits, and regional requests will be quoted on an “as requested” basis. All special insertions are subject to limitations as set forth
       by the Publisher.
       Cancellations/Changes
       Cancellations or changes in orders are not accepted after an issue closing date. A previously run ad will be inserted for contracted advertisers whose new ad copy is not received by the closing date.
       Returns
       The Publisher is not responsible for keeping material beyond one year and will discard if return is not requested.

Online Advertising Terms and Conditions
       By placing an Insertion Order for advertising on a Web site of Taunton Interactive, Inc., the Advertiser and its agency, if there be one, each agree to the following terms and conditions with respect to
       such advertising (collectively, “Terms”).

       1. Insertion Order; Optimization; Ad Servers. Taunton Interactive, Inc. agrees to deliver, and Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, each agree to pay for the services on the applicable Insertion
       Order which Insertion Order is incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, “Services”), according to rates specified on the Insertion Order and subject to these Terms. Subject to available inven-
       tory and appropriate rate adjustment, positions on the Insertion Order may be adjusted (“optimized”); provided that the total financial obligation of the Advertiser and/or the agency, if there be one,
       under the Insertion Order are not reduced (“Optimization”). Optimizations are subject to Taunton Interactive, Inc.’s prior approval, with applicable terms documented via email, and the confirmation
       of acceptance by either Advertiser or its agency, if there be one, via reply email, and such terms shall be jointly and severally binding on Advertiser and agency, if there be one, and made part of the
       Insertion Order as though fully set forth therein.

       2. Ad Servers and Counting. Taunton Interactive, Inc. shall only recognize its third party ad servers and other nationally recognized third party ad servers as may be agreed upon in writing by Taunton
       Interactive, Inc. and the Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, in advance, but Taunton Interactive, Inc.’s applicable ad server(s) shall be the official counter(s) for determining impressions deliv-
       ered, invoices, and payment. Any of Advertiser’s and/or its agency’s third party ad server reporting that is not previously affirmatively approved by Taunton Interactive, Inc. in writing is not accepted.

       (a) Makegoods, If actual inventory delivered with respect to a particular advertisement placement falls below guaranteed levels on the Insertion Order according to Taunton Interactive, Inc.’s applicable
       ad server counts by not more or less than 10%, and/or if there is an omission of any advertisement (placement or creative unit), Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, and Taunton Interactive,
       Inc. will make an effort to agree upon the conditions of a makegood at the time of shortfall. If no makegood can be agreed upon, Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, may execute a credit
       equal to the value of the under-delivered portion of the Insertion Order for which it was invoiced. In the event Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, made a cash pre-payment to Taunton Interac-
       tive, Inc., specifically for the Insertion Order for which under-delivery applies, then if Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, is current on all amounts owed to Taunton Interactive, Inc. under any
       other advertising agreement, Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, may elect to receive a credit for the under-delivery equal to the difference between the applicable pre-payment and the value
       of the delivered portion of the Insertion Order. Makegoods are not available (a) when under-delivery or omission of an advertisement is attributable to Advertiser’s and/or agency’s (i) delayed, incorrect
       or incompatible Ad Materials or (ii) failure to follow applicable Policies (as defined in Section 4 below), (b) for failure to deliver impressions according to any specific daily or weekly distribution, (c) for
       impressions marked on the Insertion Order as “estimated” or “not guaranteed”, (d) for sponsorship, exclusive or similar placements, or (e) for preemptive placements and/or impressions. This section
       sets forth the sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of Taunton Interactive, Inc. to fulfill its obligations under the Insertion Order.
       (b) Bonus Impressions. Where Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, utilizes a previously approved third party ad server, Taunton Interactive, Inc. will not bonus more than 10% above the guar-
       anteed levels on the Insertion Order on the difference between the third party counts of Taunton Interactive, Inc. and Advertiser without the prior written consent from the Advertiser and/or agency, if
       there be one. Permanent or exclusive placements shall run for the specified time regardless of over-delivery, unless the Insertion Order establishes an impression cap for third party ad served activity.
       Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, shall not be charged by Taunton Interactive, Inc. for any additional advertisements above any level guaranteed in the Insertion Order. If a previously ap-
       proved third party ad server is being used and Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, notifies Taunton Interactive, Inc. that the guaranteed level stated in the Insertion Order has been reached,
       Taunton Interactive, Inc. will use commercially reasonable efforts to suspend delivery and, within 48 hours, may either: (i) serve any additional advertisements itself or (ii) be held responsible for all
       applicable incremental advertising serving charges incurred by Advertiser and/or its agency, if there be one, after such notice has been provided and associated with over-delivery by not more than
       10% above such guaranteed levels.

       3. Cancellation. (a) At any time prior to the serving of the first impression of the Insertion Order, the Advertiser and/or its Agency, if there be one, may cancel the Insertion Order with 30 days prior
       written notice, without penalty. For clarity and by way of example, if the Advertiser and/or its Agency cancels the Insertion Order 15 days prior to the serving of the first impression, Advertiser and/or its
       Agency will only be responsible for the first 15 days of the Insertion Order. Cancellation notice must be sent via facsimile to Taunton Interactive, Inc. at (203) 426-3434 Attn: WEB ADs and will
