Client herein authorizes the Agency to purchase and place advertising for Client, when approved by Client in writing, and to obligate Client contractually or other wise for payment of such advertising. Once Client has paid the Agency for ordered media, the Agency assumes full financial responsibility for remitting payment to the supplier/media.
