you would definitely have to check with the marketing managers of each of the companies. Some advertisers don't like their adverts being seen on back covers of mags for example. Especially the premium advertisers you have mentioned. Worth a check, most would probably quite happy to do it but you wouldn't want to get in any legal trouble by not checking first. |

Companies such as those you've listed wouldn't allow you to advertise with a disclaimer. They are too well-established to seek free advertising anyway. Sorry! |

I think they'll be upset.
The ads are copyrighted material, and just because you think you're doing them a favor, it doesn't mean they'll see it that way.
Those companies will want to have control over their image, and how their name is used. How do you think they'd feel if your magazine was about the Klu Klux Klan? Wouldn't they be upset?
To protect their rights to their copyrighted material, they have to defend against any unauthorized use - even if they like your magazine. They're required to protect their trademarks, or they lose the right to defend them.
They'll also say -- rightly so -- that you're appropriating their good name to give legitimacy to your publication.
Why not just contact those companies and offer them the ad space at no cost? |

Why would you want to put in free advertising without consulting the companies? If you want to put reviews for them, that's great, but you will definitely need their permission if you want to give them "free advertisement". |

No, you are not entitled to run someone else's copyrighted images without their approval whether or not you are profiting from it. |

Those are copyrighted. I believe you can be sued for unauthorized use. |

If you grab their ads and put them in without their permission, they will be upset on principle.
Why on Earth would you carry ads if you do not make anything off it? I am afraid it will look like a scheme. |

You cannot do that because it violates copyright laws. Those brands are copyrighted and the companies can go after you for using their names without their permission. |

You need to contact the companies whose ads you intend to run before doing it. There are copyright laws that may prevent you doing this. |

Yes I do, I think that they would object....only because they would want to know up front what your magazines saying, they wouldn't want to be associated with anything that they didn't approve of, if you asked and they approved that would be different, but I doubt it !!!!!!!!!! This is my opinion only, I could be wrong !!!!!!!!!! |

I think you could be sued. They likely won't SUE you, but you may get a "cease and desist" letter from various lawyers. Companies want to choose who they advertise with. I would suggest you just find the right contact and ask if they would like to advertise. The worst they can say is no. If the big companies say no, how about some free or low cost advertising from hip, independent companies run by or for women? There are lots of those out there, and they need exposure! |

All magazines, TV networks, etc. claim they are not affiliated with advertisers. I'm sure tons of companies will want to advertise for free, but I don't understand how you plan to fund the magazine without charging anyone. If you are not charging advertisers, there is no reason to include advertisements at all. |

you will have trouble tell your have a track record before they want you to put them in with your name.
you can be sued for anything in the USA,, it is the law, the questions is am I liable for this, is your question, and the answer is yes you are. get a LLC and reg. in NV, have a atty over see your records and be Atty of Rec. for your company |

They will want to be asked and notified. And putting that clause is a necessity but they will still want to be asked. |

HI!!
 |
Nope dont do it, you can mention them with the copyrigth sign next to the product name or whatever it is, when you talk about it. But you should put random ads up without their permission. |

i think it would be better to have adds for things women might want, like tractors, earth moving equipment and sports equipment. |

Stop. You have no idea how much trouble you can get into for this.
It is still considered fraud no matter to gesture. |
