The quoted term specifically addresses situations where there is a loss of advertising, damages or delays attributed to causes that are beyond the control of Signs, Inc. - such as Act of God (i.e., natural disasters), strikes or labor conditions. Under such circumstances, Signs, Inc. will provide supplemental advertising to make up for such loss, which includes extended service at the expiration of the contract.

I would recommend you have an attorney review this contract to make sure that you are clear on what you are signing. I would be more than happy to assist you. Feel free to contact me.
