The decision this record supports

What must the publisher supply before the buyer can compare this offer?

A rate card exists but current availability is unconfirmed.
Ask the named contact; a rate card alone does not reserve inventory.
The reply omits part of the request.
Keep the omitted question open and link the partial reply.

Terms that matter for this purchase

Scope
A buyer is requesting fixed homepage desktop ad. The scope below is an illustration of requested terms, not a received quote or publisher commitment.
Schedule
The listed dates, periods, issues or instants are requested illustrations only. Preserve the chosen buying basis and ask the publisher to confirm the current arrangement.
Device and format context
Website device coverage is requested per website item and remains unconfirmed. Newsletter-client context is separate.
Evidence
No delivery observation is established by a pre-quote request. Ask what authorized evidence the eventual agreed scope will require.
When reviewing a future quote: A screenshot matches the placement at one time.
Retain that observation; do not convert it into proof of continuous delivery.
When reviewing a future quote: The quote names desktop only.
Keep mobile outside this agreed scope unless a new original explicitly includes it.
When reviewing a future quote: A different landing or section page is supplied.
Ask whether it replaces the named homepage; do not silently substitute its URL.

What to collect from the original

  • Prospective publisher and contact to ask — This is the intended inquiry recipient, not evidence that a response or quote has been received.
  • Requesting buyer brand and market — Record the current buyer context.
  • Publisher-quoted total, currency and taxes — not supplied yet — Leave empty until a current publisher quote exists. Any buyer budget or authority ceiling belongs in its separate planning field.
  • Requested destination URL — An illustrative current request, not a historical link copied into a new agreement.
  • Requested page or page list — Identify the pages you want quoted. The publisher has not confirmed this request.
  • Requested position and format — A requested position is not a publisher promise.
  • Requested website device coverage — Ask for the required coverage; do not label it agreed before a response.
  • Requested periods and timezone — These are requested terms. Preserve date-only precision and ask for confirmation.
  • Current buyer request reference — Reference the request or authority context. This is not evidence of a current publisher offer.
  • Questions for the named contact — Ask specific questions instead of asking for a generic rate card.
  • Requested quote basis — Request currency, taxes, charges and explicit item allocation if needed.
  • Requested reply date — A requested date is not a publisher commitment.
  • Reply and original reference — Leave pending until supplied.
