Advertising terms
Long-form terms covering how a Driftlantern advertising placement is booked, produced and delivered. Last updated: September 15, 2026.
Scope
These advertising terms apply to every booking of the three placements listed on our services page: the Neighbourhood Notes Mention, the Rail Trail Sessions Sponsorship and the West End Partnership. They sit alongside our general terms of use.
Booking
A placement is considered booked once we confirm your chosen format and schedule slot in writing, by email or through the message you send via our contact form. Availability is finite and offered on a first-confirmed basis.
Creative deadlines
You must supply any material we need from you — a business description, a link, or notes for a host read — at least 5 business days before your scheduled edition or episode. Material received later may push your placement to the next available slot.
Approval
Every placement includes a copy review step. We send you the drafted mention, host-read script or article for approval before it is published or recorded, and we will not run a placement you have not approved.
Make-goods
If a technical or production error on our side causes a placement to run incorrectly or not at all, we will offer a make-good — a replacement run in a comparable future edition or episode, at no extra charge — rather than a refund, unless you prefer a refund under our refund policy.
Editorial independence
Booking an advertising placement never buys editorial coverage. What our newsroom chooses to report on in the newsletter or podcast is decided independently of any advertising relationship, and advertising material is always clearly presented as sponsored, never mixed into editorial content.
Advertiser responsibilities
You are responsible for the accuracy of any claims in material you supply, and for holding the rights to any images, audio or text you provide for your placement.
Changes to these terms
We may update these advertising terms from time to time; the date above shows the most recent revision.
