General terms and conditions for advertisers

These conditions shall apply to all advertisements accepted for

publication. Any other proposed condition shall be void unless incorporated

clearly in written instructions and specially accepted by the

publisher.

 

All advertisements are accepted subjects to the publishers

approval of the copy and to the space being available.

 

If it is intended to include in an advertisement, a competition or

a special offer of merchandise, other than that is normally associated

with the advertised product, full details must be submitted at the time

of booking.

 

The publisher reserves the right to refuse or suspend an

advertisement at any time for good reason, in which case no claim on

the part of any advertiser for damage or breach of contract shall arise.

Should such an omission or suspension be due to the act or default of

the advertiser or his servants or agents, then the space reserved for

the advertisement shall be paid for in full notwithstanding that the

advertisement has not appeared. Such omission or suspension shall be

notified to the advertiser as soon as possible.

 

If the publisher considers it necessary to modify the space or

alter date or position of insertion or make any other alteration, the

advertiser will have the right to cancel if the alteration requested is

unacceptable, unless such changes are due to an emergency or

circumstance beyond the publisher’s control.

 

The publisher shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered

by the advertiser as a result of any total or particular failure (however

caused) of publication or distribution of any journal or issue in which

any advertisement is scheduled to appear. In the event of any error

misprint or omission in the printing of any advertisement or part of an

advertisement, the publisher will either reinsert the advertisement or

relevant part of the advertisement as the case may be or make a reasonable

refund of or adjustment to the cost. No reinsertion or adjustment

will be made where the error, misprint or omission does not

materially detract from the advertisement. In no circumstances shall

the total liability of the publisher for any error, misprint or omission

exceed the amount of a full refund of any price paid to the publisher for

the particular advertisement in connection with which liability arose or

the cost of a further or corrective advertisement reasonable comparable

to that in connection with which liability arose. Without prejudice to the

foregoing the publisher shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential

loss including without limitation loss of business or profits in

consequence of any advertisement. Every care is taken to avoid mistakes

but the publisher cannot accept liability for any error due to third

parties, subcontractors or inaccurate copy instructors.

 

The advertiser warrants that the advertisement does not

contravene any Act of Parliament nor is it in any other way illegal or

defamatory or an infringement of any other parts rights or an

infringement for the British Law.

 

The advertiser will indemnify the publisher fully in respect of any

claim made against the publisher arising from the advertisement. The

publisher will consult with the advertiser as to the way in which such

claims are to be handled.

 

Advertisement rates are subject to revision at a time and

orders are accepted on the condition that the price binds the

publisher only in respect for the next issue to go to press. In the

event of a rate increase, the advertiser will have the option to

cancel the order without surcharge or continue the order at the

revised advertisement rates.

 

 

 

If any advertiser cancels the balance of the contract, except in

the circumstances set out in clause 5. or 6. above, he relinquishes any

right to that series discount to which he was entitled previously and

advertisements will be paid for at the appropriate rate.

 

Series discount apply only to orders placed in advance and

complete within one year of first insertion. The publisher reserves the

right to surcharge in the event or insertion not being completed within

the contractual period.

 

Credit accounts must be settled in accordance with the terms

shown on the invoice, which are strictly net. In default, all outstanding

transactions will become liable for immediate settlement. Interest will

be charged monthly on overdue accounts at the rate of 1%.

 

All gross display advertising rules are subject to the current

Advertising Standards Board of Finance surcharge payable by the

advertisers. When orders are placed by advertising agents the agent

will be responsible for collecting this surcharge and paying it to the

Advertising Standards Board of Finance. Where the advertiser places

advertising directly the publisher will surcharge its gross rate by the

current rate and pass this directly to the Advertising Standards Board

of Finance.

 

Charges will be made to the advertiser or his agent where

the printer is involved in extra production work owing to acts or defaults

of the advertiser or his agents. These charges will be at the rates

agreed prior to publication. Complaints regarding reproduction of

advertisements must be received in writing within one calendar month

of the cover date.

 

Where the advertiser has undertaken to supply inserts which

have been accepted and approved by the publishers, the publisher

reserves the right to charge the rate agreed if they fail to arrive at the

agreed time and place for insertion.

 

Where the publisher provides a Reader Enquiry Service for the

benefit of his readers, he shall not be contractually bound to pass such

enquiries to the advertiser.

 

Cancellation or suspension of an insertion must be received in

writing by the publisher within a period specified by the appropriate

individual publication(s). Cancellations must be received 28 days prior

to the publication date.

 

Copy must be supplied by the advertiser or his agent without

application from the publisher. If copy instructions are not received by

the agreed copy date no guarantee can be given that proofs will be

supplied nor corrections made and the publisher reserves the right to

repeat the most appropriate copy.

 

Advertisers’ property, artwork, etc are held at owners’ risk and

should be insured by them against loss or damage from whatever

cause. The publisher reserves the right to destroy all artwork which has

been in his/her custody for twelve months from the date of its last

appearance.

 

For the purpose of these conditions ‘advertisers’ shall refer to the

advertiser or his agent, whichever is the principal ‘advertisement’ shall

include loose or other inserts where appropriate.

 

These conditions and all other express terms of the contracts

shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Law of

the Federal Republic of Germany.
