WQXR.com makes every effort to protect its readers and advertisers by barring commercial messages that are misleading, inaccurate or fraudulent; that make unfair competitive claims or that fail to comply with its standards of decency and dignity. If an advertisement contains statements or illustrations that are not acceptable, and that WQXR.com thinks should be changed or eliminated, the advertiser is notified. If an advertiser refuses to negotiate changes, the advertisement is declined. Frequently, we will conduct an investigation to obtain information about statements in an advertisement and establish their accuracy. Recognized agencies of investigation, such as the Better Business Bureaus, may be consulted. We investigate all complaints from readers about advertising on our site. If investigation proves the complaints to be valid and shows that the business practices of an advertiser are unfair, WQXR.com will decline further advertising from that advertiser. Advertising must sometimes be changed or declined because of the applicability of laws dealing with such matters as libel, copyright and trademark, the right of privacy, the sale of securities, the sale of real estate and political advertising. Generally speaking, any other advertising that may cause financial loss or loss of the consumer's confidence in reputable advertising and ethical business practices is unacceptable. The following list describes some of the kinds of advertising that WQXR.com will not accept:(This list is for illustrative purposes and does not include all types of advertising that we may find objectionable.
