Welcome to the WineNews Ad-Page

Terms and Conditions

  • Your-Ad Logo: The minimum purchase is a 10x10 pixel "block" at $50 each, and the maximum purchase is as much space as you want.  We recommend a minimum ad size of 2 blocks X 2 blocks to make your ad "visible".
  • Your-Name:  Please support our Website by donating $50 or more.  We will place your name in unused blocks between ads using a minimum of 2 blocks.
  • When you 'buy' blocks you will not 'own' any part of the ad-page or this site, but rather you are granted the right to submit an image and link which will then be published on the ad-page.
  • You cannot change the image or link once we have accepted them. The only exception is if you have a strong reason why you need a change to your image/link. For example,  your site no longer exists, major structural change to your site, lawsuits, etc. Requests must be made via email.
  • Once your image and link are accepted and published on the ad-page, you cannot get a refund.
  • No obscene/offensive/adult images/links will be accepted, and we decide what is appropriate for our site. If you submit an image or link that is rejected, you will have the opportunity to provide an alternative, otherwise your money will be refunded and you will lose your blocks.
  • If your link is accepted and you later change the content of the linked site to show offensive/obscene/adult material then your link will be removed until you provide a new one, and you will not get a refund of any kind for the link downtime.
  • If in the future you want your image and link removed from the ad-page,  you will not get a refund and the space will become publicly available again.
  • Images must fit in the number of blocks you buy, and we reserve the right to resize images to fit (1 block=100 pixels = 10x10 pixels).
  • Images must be in GIF or JPEG format, and a reasonable file size.
  • Images must NOT be animated.
  • Links must be to web pages only and begin with http://
  • You must have the authority to provide the image and link for the website you submit.
  • Funds must be fully received and cleared before your ad goes live.  Ads will remain on our ad-page for a minimum of 1 year from the date it goes live.
  • Once you have ordered and the funds have cleared (eg. in our PayPal or bank account), we will attempt to get your ad online within 24-48hrs (but we make no guarantee depending on our new ad volume).

PayPal is our preferred payment method for purchasing blocks up to 40.  However, wire transfer may be used for very large ads (costing greater than $2000, which is the PayPal limit). Because the pixels are sold in $50 blocks please be sure  you order the correct quantity of blocks. Once you have paid for your blocks, please send an e-mail to ads@winenews.com with the following:

  1. Attach your image as a GIF or JPEG (must be correct size for the blocks/pixels purchased or we will resize it to fit).
  2. State where you want your graphic to be placed on the ad-page (for example "50 blocks across, 20 blocks down").  We reserve the right to reposition your ad (by 1 or 2 blocks) if the placement leaves only 1 unused block between ads or on the margins.  If you have no preference we will place the ad where we want.
  3. State the website you would like your graphic to link to (must begin with 'http://').
  4. State the TITLE/ALT text you want for your image, up to 50 characters. TITLE/ALT text appears when people hover their cursor over your image.
