ADVERTISING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE
1. For the purpose of these conditions, ‘Advertiser’ shall refer to the Advertiser or his Agent whichever is the principal. ‘Advertisement’ shall include loose insert where appropriate. ‘Publisher’ shall mean Avril Nicoll.
2. These conditions will apply to all advertisements for publication. Any other proposed condition shall be void unless incorporated in written instructions and explicitly accepted by the Publisher in writing.
3. All advertisements are accepted subject to Publisher’s approval of the copy.
4. If it is intended to include in an advertisement a competition or a special offer of merchandise, other than that normally associated with the advertised product, full details must be submitted at the time of booking. The Publisher has no obligation to ensure the Advertiser fulfils the advertised promotion or incentive.
5. The Publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend an advertisement at any time, in which case no claim on the part of an Advertiser for damages or breach of contract shall arise. Should such an omission 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 in full notwithstanding that the advertisement has not appeared. Such omission or suspension shall be notified to the Advertiser as soon as possible.
6. 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 Party’s rights or an infringement of the British Code of Advertising Practice.
7. The Advertiser will indemnify the Publisher fully in respect of any claim made against the Publisher arising from the advertisement (including but not limited to breach of another party’s copyrights).
8. Advertisement rates are subject to revision at any time and orders are accepted on condition that the price binds the Publisher only in respect of 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.
9. If an Advertiser cancels the balance of the contract, except in the circumstances set out in Clauses 5 or 8 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.
10. Series discounts apply only to orders placed in advance and completed within one year of date of insertion. The Publisher reserves the right to charge the full advertisement rates in the event of insertions not being completed in the contractual period.
11. A banker’s reference may be requested at the publisher’s discretion. Payment in full without any deduction must be received within 30 days of invoice date. Interest will be payable on all amounts after that date at 4% per annum over Bank Minimum Lending Rate, to be charged monthly. The Advertiser shall reimburse the Publisher for all costs and expenses (including legal costs) incurred in the collection of any overdue amount.
12. Charges will be made to the Advertiser or his Agent where the Publisher, Printers or Colour Reproducers are involved in extra production work owing to acts or defaults of the Advertiser or his Agent. Complaints regarding reproduction of advertisements must be received in writing within one calendar month of the cover date, addressed to the Publisher.
13. Where the Advertiser has undertaken to supply inserts which have been accepted and approved by the Publisher, the Publisher reserves the right to charge the rate agreed if they fail to arrive at the agreed time and place for insertion.
14. Cancellation or suspension of an Advertisement must be made in writing to the Publisher at least two weeks prior to final copy date. Advertisements cancelled less than two weeks prior to the final copy date will be charged at 50% of the rate card rate. An advertisement can only be cancelled after the copy date for a reason relating to clause 6 above and, in any event, must be paid for in full.
15. 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 the Publisher reserves the right to repeat the most appropriate copy or treat the booking as a cancellation, the Advertiser being liable for the full amount of the Advertisement (clause 14).
16. Advertiser’s property, artwork, film etc are held at the owner’s risk and should be insured by them against loss or damage from whatever cause. The Publisher reserves the right to destroy, without a reminder being sent, all artwork and film which has been in her custody for six months from the date of its last appearance.
17. The placing of an order will be deemed to be an acceptance of the above conditions and shall be an express term of any contract.
18. These conditions and all other express terms of the contract shall be governed and constructed in accordance with the Laws of Scotland.
