² If present, if not the display time will be double or triple for the same price. This makes advertising more interesting when no other advertisers are present.
³ Single banners will show double, so the quantity of banners does not increase the total display time.

Unsold bottom banner space will be used randomly for our sponsors, but advertisers get all (even if only one advertiser is present, it excludes the sponsors from being displayed, all displayed banner items will be for the advertiser). The available banners display random on each page load (after server cache refresh).

Price changes will not affect active contracts. Maximum contract period 4 months (pay 3, get 4). Anticipated payment. Prices are based on at least 1000 visitors a month (last month: 1188 visitors).
