Right of Refusal

We are looking for attractive ads with product lines that will enhance our site, rather than detract from it. StencilSearch.com reserves the right to refuse, at its sole discretion, any advertiser or any particular banner or text from an advertiser. Our site is directed at the stenciling community and dedicated to the promotion of Stenciling companies, projects, and products. Advertising from unrelated companies will most likely be rejected, as will ads with excessive animation. We expect that any advertiser and their banners will reflect a positive professional image. We will not accept ads which we deem inappropriate.
