The fine print, in plain words.

A printed spot on a shared 9×12 postcard that the Postal Service delivers to every home on the card’s routes. Each card lists how many homes it reaches on its page. One business per trade per card: once a plumber is on the card, no second plumber gets on it.

You pay when you pick your spot, by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Cash App through Stripe. If you ask for an invoice instead, we hold the spot for 7 days; if the invoice is not paid in that window the spot goes back to the pool and you owe nothing.

Online payment locks the spot and your trade immediately. An invoice request holds the selection for up to 7 days; paying that invoice locks it. Nobody can hold a spot with a promise.

The card goes to print once it reaches its paid minimum: 8 paid slot-equivalents. A half spot counts as 0.5, a standard or spotlight counts as 1, a double counts as 2, a quad counts as 4, and a full side counts as 8. The first paid spot starts the 45-day sales window. The card’s page shows a target mail date once it has one. Printer and Postal Service timing can move that date, so treat it as close, not exact.

If the card has not reached its paid minimum by its deadline, we may hold it open up to 14 more days to fill it. If it still does not go to print, every payment on that card is refunded in full, automatically, to the way you paid. Stripe refunds usually show on your statement within 5 to 10 business days. Invoice payments are refunded from the invoice.

You do not have to ask, chase anyone, or fill out a form. You get an email when it happens.

Before the card is sent to print, tell us and we refund you in full, no questions. Once we send the card to print, it is committed to the printer and your payment is final. That moment is the only point of no return, and we email every advertiser when it happens.

You do not need to design anything. Send us a logo, a photo, and one line about the offer, and we build your spot. We email a proof for your approval before print. If you have not sent materials by the deadline, we design from the business information available. If the proof deadline passes without a response, our best version still prints, so watch for and answer the proof email.

We can decline any ad that is unlawful, deceptive, adult, or that we cannot print, and we refund it in full if we do.

Businesses that have no website get a free one-page site with their spot, so the card has somewhere to send people. It is a bonus, not a product: it lives on our hosting and carries a small adNPC credit. Businesses that already have a website use their own.

We promise the card prints and mails to the homes on its page, that you are the only one in your trade on it, and that your payment is returned if the card does not print. We do not promise a number of calls, customers, or sales; nobody honestly can.

Payments are made only through this website or an adNPC invoice. Nobody from adNPC will ever ask you for a card number over the phone, or for cash. Our sales reps can tell you about the card and send you the link, but they do not take money and they cannot change these terms. If anyone asks you to pay another way, call us at (361) 668-0599.
