The 5 Star Spotlight, LLC (“we,” “us”) sells advertising space on a 12″ × 15″ postcard mailed each month to approximately 25,000 homes in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. By reserving a category or paying for an ad space, you (“the advertiser”) agree to these terms.
Each category is limited to one business per card. To reserve a category, submit the category availability form on our website; we confirm availability by email. While you remain an active advertiser in good standing, you have first right of refusal on your category: before it is offered to another business for a future card, we will give you the first opportunity to keep it.
Advertising is month to month. There is no long-term contract. To stop advertising, notify us in writing (email is fine) by the 25th of the month before the mailing you want to skip.
Ad approval or changes are due by the 1st, payment is charged on the 10th, and cards mail on or around the 15th. The first card mails on or before November 15, 2026.
We design your ad at no additional charge and email you a proof. Up to 2 rounds of revisions are included. Nothing is printed until you approve your ad, and approval by email counts as written approval. You’ll see a printed sample of the card before the full run. You are responsible for checking spelling, phone numbers, addresses, web links and offers before approving.
Printing or postal delays outside our control can move a mail date. If a mailing will move by more than 5 business days, we will email you. The U.S. Postal Service sets delivery times, so we cannot guarantee the date a postcard reaches any specific home.
Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method within 10 business days. Please contact us about any billing concern before disputing a charge with your card issuer, so we can resolve it quickly.
You confirm that you own or have permission to use everything you give us, including logos, images, text and offers. Your ad and offers must comply with applicable laws and must not be misleading. We may decline or ask you to change any ad that is unlawful, deceptive or inappropriate for a household mailing; if we decline an ad before printing, you receive a full refund for that month.
We do not guarantee any number of calls, visits, sales or other response. Results depend on your offer, business and market, and any figures on our website are estimates. Our total liability for any claim related to our services is limited to the amount you paid for the month in question. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri.
We may update these terms. We will email active advertisers about changes at least 30 days before they take effect.

When you submit our category availability form, we collect your business name, category, market, email address, and, if you provide them, your phone number and notes. If you become an advertiser, we also collect the logo, images and business details you send us for your ad.
We use this information to respond to your request, confirm category availability, notify you when a category opens or a card launches in your market, design and run your ad, and handle billing.
We do not sell or rent your information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the business, such as our website host, which processes form submissions, our printer, and our payment processor, which handles card payments directly. We do not store full card numbers.
You can ask us to update or delete your information, or to stop contacting you, at any time by emailing info@The5StarSpotlight.com.
If we change this policy, we will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
