(a) This subchapter shall apply to the following advertisements:

1. Any advertisement uttered, issued, printed, disseminated or distributed within this State concerning goods and services advertised as available at locations exclusively within this State; and

2. Any advertisement, other than radio and television broadcasts, issued, printed, disseminated or distributed to any substantial extent within this State concerning goods and services advertised as available at locations within this State and outside this State; and

3. Any advertisement, other than radio and television broadcasts, issued, printed, disseminated or distributed primarily within this State concerning goods and services advertised as available at locations exclusively outside this State; and

4. Any radio and television broadcasts uttered, issued, disseminated or distributed primarily within this State and outside this State, or at locations exclusively outside this State.

(b) An advertiser, a manufacturer, an advertising agency and the owner or publisher of a newspaper, magazine, periodical, circular, billboard or radio or television station acting on behalf of an advertising seller shall be deemed an advertiser within the meaning of this subchapter, when such entity prepares or places an advertisement for publication. No such entity shall be liable for a violation of this subchapter when the entity reasonably relies upon data, information or materials supplied by an advertising seller for whom the advertisement is prepared or placed or when the violation is caused by an act, error or omission beyond the entity's control, including but not limited to, the post-publication performance of the advertising seller. Notwithstanding that an advertisement has been prepared or placed for publication by one of the aforementioned entities, the advertiser on whose behalf such advertisement was placed may be liable for any violation of this subchapter.

(c) An advertiser has no liability under this subchapter for a failure to comply with any requirement thereof if the advertiser shows by a preponderance of evidence that failure to comply resulted from actions of persons other than the advertiser which were not, or should not have been reasonably anticipated by the advertiser; or that such failure was the result of a labor strike or a natural disaster such as, but not limited to, fires, floods and earthquakes.

(d) If any provisions of this subchapter or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held unconstitutional or beyond the statutory powers of the Attorney General, the remainder of this subchapter and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected.
