Let's Bail Advertising Contract

Review placement terms, recurring billing, creative standards, county inventory rules, and cancellation timing before launch.

Updated March 19, 2026

Agreement Summary

Key Term 1

All creative is subject to Montana Blotter compliance and quality review before launch.

Key Term 2

Subscriptions renew automatically on the selected billing cycle until canceled.

Key Term 3

County exclusives and bundled placements remain subject to inventory availability.

1. Inventory and Placement

Montana Blotter sells limited ad inventory for bail bond providers, including header placements, sidebar placements, county exclusives, and bundled packages. Placement availability is not guaranteed until payment is received and county inventory is confirmed.

2. Creative Review and Compliance

All logos, headlines, body copy, call-to-action language, and destination URLs are subject to review before launch. Montana Blotter may reject, pause, or require revisions for creative that is misleading, unlicensed, non-compliant, or inappropriate for public safety reporting context.

3. Billing and Renewal

Advertising subscriptions renew automatically on the selected monthly or annual cycle unless canceled. Taxes, platform processing fees, and custom production work are not included unless expressly stated in writing.

4. County Exclusives and Bundles

Exclusive county sponsorships and bundle-based county slots are assigned based on current inventory. If a requested county becomes unavailable before launch, Montana Blotter may offer a substitute county, delayed launch timing, account credit, or cancellation before launch.

5. Cancellation and Changes

Campaign changes may be requested through the advertiser onboarding flow or control panel. Cancellation requests should be submitted before the next billing cycle to avoid renewal charges. Mid-cycle cancellations do not automatically create prorated refunds unless Montana Blotter approves an exception in writing.

6. Performance and Availability

Traffic, impressions, clicks, calls, and lead volume can vary by county, news cycle, seasonality, and inventory mix. Montana Blotter does not guarantee any specific booking volume, conversion rate, or legal outcome from advertising.

7. Contact

Questions regarding this agreement, billing, or campaign status should be sent to montanablotter@gmail.com.

Editorial Standards

Montana Blotter is designed to make public records and public meeting information easier to access. It is not a government office, and it does not replace official notice, clerk records, court files, or agency databases.

1. Primary Source Rule
We prefer direct links to official county, city, court, sheriff, police, and state judiciary pages. Where possible, each page should point readers back to the original public record, agenda, minutes page, or official document listing.

2. What We Standardize
Date and time formatting — location and body-name labeling — document labels such as agenda, packet, or minutes — searchable statewide filters and metadata.

3. What We Do Not Claim
We do not claim to be the official keeper of public records. We do not guarantee that a third-party government site is complete, current, or correctly maintained. We do not treat summaries or extracted text as a substitute for the official source file.

4. Update Cadence
Automated sources are checked on a recurring basis. If a source is stale, broken, or moved, the originating public body remains the authoritative reference until the source is repaired.

5. Provenance and Visibility
We aim to show where information came from, when it was last refreshed, and how users can verify it.

6. Redactions and Sensitive Material
We may review records for obvious sensitivity, legal restrictions, or redaction issues. The existence of a public record does not automatically mean every field or derivative presentation should be amplified without review.

7. Corrections
If a source link breaks, a meeting is mislabeled, a record is duplicated, or a page needs clarification, see the Corrections Policy for the reporting workflow.

8. Government and Clerk Communications
If you work for a Montana public body and need a source updated, corrected, or removed, contact us directly. We prefer exact URLs, dates, and a brief explanation of the change.

9. Contact

Corrections Policy

We want corrections requests to be specific, easy to verify, and fast to act on. The more concrete the report, the faster it can be reviewed.

1. What To Report
Broken official source links — moved agenda or minutes pages — incorrect meeting date, body name, or location label — duplicate records or meetings — stale source pages — material factual errors in a summary or description.

2. What To Include
The exact Montana Blotter URL — the exact official source URL that should be used — a short description of what is wrong — if timing matters, the date and time the official source changed.

3. Where To Send It
Email records@montanablotter.com with subject line Correction Request or Source Update. If you represent a government office, say so in the message.

4. Review Standard
We review corrections against the official source when available. If a report cannot be verified, we may ask for a clarifying URL, screenshot, or exact document reference before changing the page.

5. Response Goal
Our goal is to review straightforward source and labeling issues within two business days. Complex disputes, legal issues, and record-sensitivity questions may take longer.

6. How Fixes Are Handled
Broken or moved source URLs are updated at the source-config level when possible. Mislabeled dates, titles, or locations are corrected in the public presentation. If a government source removes or replaces a document, the official source controls.

7. Limits
A correction request does not automatically guarantee removal. Montana Blotter may preserve accurate public-record references while updating labels, links, timestamps, or explanatory text.
