PMMI Media Group will make every effort to obtain materials from the advertiser well in advance of when the ad is scheduled to run. Advertisers must understand in some cases rescheduling a send will not be possible due to inventory constraints. In such cases, advertisers may choose to reallocate funds to a different ad product - time and inventory permitting - so long as it is within the contract year.
Once the cancellation deadline has passed, PMMI Media Group will bill advertisers for all ads and sponsorships purchased at the originally scheduled deployment time regardless of whether a later deployment date was chosen or even if the ad never deployed due to materials never being supplied by the advertiser. Media plans billed on an installment basis will continue to be billed even if ads never end up deploying due to materials not being supplied by the advertiser.
PMMI Media Group is not obligated to run rescheduled or delayed ads outside the contract period if the advertiser is unable to provide ad materials in time to run the ad within the media plan’s contract period.
PMMI Media Group's Common Sense Make-Good Policy
We’re excited to collaborate with you to create impactful advertising across our print, digital, social media, and email platforms. To ensure things run smoothly and your campaign shines, we’ve outlined a few key guidelines and responsibilities to help us both stay aligned.
Submitting Your Materials
- Specs & Formats: Please send us your advertising content based on our platform-specific specs (like dimensions, file types, deadlines, etc.). If you’re unsure of anything, just reach out—we’re happy to provide what you need.
- Accuracy Matters: You know your brand best, so we rely on you to ensure all content is accurate and complies with relevant laws and industry standards (like copyright, trademarks, or disclosures).
- Final Proofing: Before submitting your materials, give everything one last review. That means checking spelling and grammar, verifying links and UTM codes, and confirming your images meet quality standards.
- Deadlines: Please submit everything by the deadlines we’ve agreed to. If materials arrive late, we may need to delay your ad or, in some cases, cancel the placement without a refund.
- Quality Standards: Ads should be delivered in the requested format and resolution. If materials need significant reformatting or don’t meet our quality standards, we may need to request a revision or decline the ad.
Review & Feedback Process
- We’ll review all submitted ads to ensure they meet our technical guidelines. If something isn’t a good fit for our audience or needs changing, we’ll let you know right away and work with you on adjustments.
- Any edits or replacements should be sent promptly to avoid delays in your campaign schedule.
Who’s Responsible for What?
- Advertiser Responsibility: While we do our best catch any issues, we ask that you take final responsibility for reviewing and approving your content, including spelling, image quality, URLs, landing pages, and so on. Please review carefully and double-check your ad proofs before signing off. Though we do everything to double-check your ad before it runs, we can’t be responsible for content or proofreading errors that you didn’t catch.
- Our Responsibility: If something goes wrong on our end—say, a technical glitch or publishing error—we’ll make it right. That could mean offering a make-good campaign or other appropriate solution, depending on the situation.
Publication & Campaign Performance
- We do our best to run campaigns on time and as expected. However, sometimes delays or interruptions happen due to technical issues or unexpected events.
- While we aim for strong results, we can’t guarantee specific performance metrics (like clicks or conversions) unless it’s clearly stated in your agreement or on our Product Hub.

We’re here to support you. If you have questions or need help with your ad materials, your Client Success Manager or Sales Representative is just a message away.
