Terms and Conditions for Advertisement Booking

By confirming your advertisement booking, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

Cancellation Policy: 

Any request to cancel will incur a 100% cancellation fee if made less than 45 days before the scheduled production date.

Cancellations requested less than 60 days before the production date may incur a cancellation fee of up to 50% to cover administrative expenses.

Rescheduling: 

Any request to reschedule your booking must be made at least 45 days before the scheduled production date.

Rescheduling requests made within 45 days of the production date may not be accommodated and are subject to approval at our sole discretion.

Rescheduling may incur additional fees based on the nature of the changes and the proximity to the original production date, especially if the booking was part of a discounted series.

Payment: 

Full payment for the advertisement booking is due upon confirmation unless otherwise agreed in writing with the publisher.

Failure to make payment may result in the cancellation of your booking. However, please note that we will still pursue payment for the full outstanding amount.

Late payments may incur interest, calculated daily from the due date until full payment is received.

Non-payment may lead to the suspension of future bookings and may also result in legal action to recover the outstanding amount, including any associated legal fees and costs.

Production: 

You are responsible for supplying all necessary materials for your advertisement by the agreed deadlines, or, if applicable, providing the components needed for us to produce the advertisement on your behalf.

Failure to do so may result in delays or additional charges.

Artwork should be submitted 5 days prior to the issue deadline where possible to ensure adequate time for review. Copy should be provided as follows:

Advertisements: A minimum of 300 dpi, and should ideally be PDF format in CMYK colour profile.

Front Cover Images: At least 600 dpi, and should ideally be PDF format in CMYK colour profile.

Please ensure all images, fonts, and other elements are embedded in the PDF file to avoid any issues during the printing process. Failure to meet these specifications or the submission deadline may result in delays, additional charges, or the inability to include the artwork in the scheduled issues

If we create an advertisement on your behalf, we will provide you with a draft for review and approval before proceeding to final production. Please note that the publisher is not liable for any incorrect information within the advertisement. Delays in approving the draft within the specified timeframe may result in additional charges or delays in the production schedule.

Content Approval and Intellectual Property: 

All advertisement content is subject to approval by the publisher. We reserve the right to reject or request modifications to any content that does not meet our guidelines or standards.

You agree all content supplied complies with applicable laws/regulations, and does not infringe on the rights of any third parties.

Any content deemed inappropriate, offensive, or in violation of our standards may be removed without notice, with no refund provided.

You warrant that you have the right to use all intellectual property contained in the materials you provide.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of any breach of intellectual property rights related to the content you provide.

Liability: 

We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from the cancellation, rescheduling, late distribution, or modification of your advertisement.

Our liability is limited to the amount paid for the booking.

We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental damages, including but not limited to lost profits, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Amendments to Terms: 

We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. Any amendments will be communicated to you in writing and will apply to future bookings.

Any amendments made after your booking confirmation will not apply retroactively unless agreed upon in writing.

Force Majeure: 

We shall not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, riots, strikes, pandemics, or other similar events.

If a force majeure event occurs, we will notify you as soon as possible and work with you to find a mutually agreeable solution, such as rescheduling the advertisement production or providing a credit for future services.

Confidentiality:

Both parties agree to keep all sensitive and confidential information disclosed during the advertisement booking and production process confidential and not to disclose it to any third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law.

Please review these terms and conditions carefully. By proceeding with your advertisement, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by them.
