Advertising Policy

  • SDLCA reserves the right to change the guidelines and/or any cost associated with advertising opportunities without notice. If such a change in the guidelines results in an advertisement being deemed inappropriate, the advertisement will be removed. 
  • SDLCA cannot verify the accuracy of the claims made in advertisements, and acceptance of an advertisement does not imply endorsement by the Salerno Devils’ Lake Cottagers’ Association. It is up to individuals to do their due diligence prior to doing business with our advertising sponsors.
  • SDLCA reserves the right to remove any advertisement at any time if it is deemed inappropriate. 
  • SDLCA reserves the right to refuse any advertisement. Advertising that contravenes any SDLCA policy or position will be refused.
