Important Cookie Facts:
Advertising (Advertisements are Allowed by Restraint of the MSRC)
The MSRC does accept proposals for advertising that are relevant to healthcare, preferably Respiratory/Pulmonary subject matter. The advertising can be medical equipment, pharmacological products, healthcare organizations, or other advertisement related to the healthcare field. Proposals may be sent to the MSRC Webmaster by using the "Contact" page. All proposals must include the desired page title for advertisement. All Flash Media file type advertisement will be placed just below the page title. All advertisements must include a small message stating that "statements and/or products in the advertisement are not endorsed by the MSRC". All advertisement proposals are reviewed by the MSRC Board of Directors for approval. The pricing of proposals may also be negotiated with the MSRC Board of Directors. Proposals sent to the MSRC need to include a Copy of Advertisement for review, Desired Price for submitted advertisement, and a Draft Contract for the advertisement that includes the time period for the advertisement. If non-flash media advertisement is requested, or a large size advertisement is preferred, then a separate advertising page may be created by the webmaster, after the proposal is approved by the MSRC Board of Directors. Once the Advertisement proposal is approved by the MSRC Board of Directors, a copy of the web page with an outline of the Media Area for advertisement is sent to the business and/or organization for review prior to the contract signing/finalization. The MSRC Board of Directors have the right to "limit the amount of advertising available on this website", and the MSRC Board of Directors have the right to "reject any advertising proposals". If a proposal is declined by the MSRC Board of Directors, a formal letter is sent to the business and/or organization via mail or email. A direct email is the preferred method of contact for the Webmaster. The MSRC has the prerogative to allow certain vendors to be displayed on our site as non-contract advertising sponsors of editorial
content
and services delivered via the web.
