Salon Premium subscribers will still see advertisements on older Salon pages published before the Premium program's launch in April, 2001. In addition, the following exceptions also apply:

• Certain services provided on our site by partners (like a search engine service or a contextual link to purchase a reviewed product) may be represented on our pages by the partner's branded logo
• Certain kinds of "text-link" and graphic sponsorship ads and paid headline feeds will also be served to Premium subscribers
• Certain kinds of clearly defined "advertorial" advertisements will be visible to Premium subscribers
• Audio/video ads may appear within streaming audio and video content
• Advertising may appear adjacent to content delivered to handheld devices via Avantgo and other services
• Banners, pop-ups and text ads may appear in our Table Talk forum, our search engine pages and some of our Salon Directory pages
• Ads may appear on pages that are published in cooperation with other sites ("co-branded pages"), such as our Salon/Nerve Personals service, our Careguide service, or our Salon Gear shop
• A banner ad will appear below the "Story Minute" comic
• Ads may appear in e-mails generated by our "E-mail this article to a friend" feature
• Statements and graphics advertising a band, music company or related company may appear within the Salon Music Sampler
• Also, should Premium subscribers read a Salon page inside a "frame" on another site (for instance, About.com or Ask Jeeves), Salon cannot block the ads served by the "framing" site.
