Editorial/Advertising Policies
Opinions contained in articles and advertising are those of the contributing author(s) only, and
are not necessarily the views of Alpacas Magazine or its staff; AOBA; or AOBA officials, staff,
employees, or agents. Publication in Alpacas Magazine does not constitute an endorsement of
the views, products, or services contained in said articles and advertisements. Alpacas Magazine
does not warrant the accuracy of the material contained in any article or the quality or authen-
ticity of goods or services contained in any advertisement. The Alpaca Owners & Breeders
Association, Inc. reserves the right to edit or reject at its discretion any advertisement submitted
for publication in Alpacas Magazine.
While Alpacas Magazine consistently endeavors to publish on or ahead of printed release dates,
we cannot be held responsible for publishing later than those anticipated release dates. We also
assume no responsibility for circumstances beyond our control, such as untimely postal deliv-
ery, equipment failure, etc. Time-sensitive events (e.g., an open house or a merchandise sale)
that will occur twelve weeks or more after a targeted magazine issue come with a money-back
guarantee (either refund, credit, or re-run of ad). To qualify, date(s) must specifically appear
on the ad, and not be just a general “seasonal” event. Ads such as “Season’s Greetings” or “Come
See Our Autumn Foliage” do not qualify as time-sensitive events. Time-sensitive events that will
occur less than twelve weeks after a targeted magazine issue come with no publication guarantees.
