Advertising Terms & Conditions

Conditions of Acceptance for all Advertisements

1. We reserve the right to refuse to insert any advertisement even though accepted and paid for, and to make any alterations we deem necessary to maintain our standards.

2. The publisher shall not be liable for loss or damage occasioned by any total or partial or on-line service failure (however caused) of publication or distribution of any newspaper or edition in which any advertisement is scheduled to appear.

3. In the event of any error, misprint or omission in the publication of an advertisement or part of an advertisement , the publisher will either re-insert the advertisement or relevant part of the advertisement as the case may be or make a reasonable refund or adjustment to the cost. No re-insertion, refund 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 or 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 of a type and standard reasonably comparable to that in connection with which liability arose.

4. Advertisements which do not conform to the Trade Descriptions Act, 1968, the Sex Discrimination Act, 1975, the Business Advertisements (Disclosure) Order, 1977 and other relevant legislation will be refused.

5. We do not accept liability for any loss or damage incurred by advertisers allegedly arising in respect of loss, damage or non-receipt of box number replies, save where such loss or damage has arisen directly as a result of our negligence.

6. Mistakes that arise in the course of publication must be notified to us within one week of insertion. After that time claims for credit cannot be considered.

7. Participation in advertisement features and supplements does not imply any editorial mention.

8. We do not hold ourselves responsible for the loss of artwork or photographs supplied.

9. We reserve the right to open or withhold any Box Number correspondence should it be deemed necessary in the public interest.

10. Where a proof has been supplied and agreed prior to publication, no credit will be considered in respect of errors.

11. Advertisements accepted on credit are due for payment within the terms stipulated on the invoice. The existence of a query on an individual item shall not affect payment of the balance of the account being made within the terms.

12. We reserve the right to apply interest on overdue accounts and charge for costs incurred in respect of dishonoured cheques.

13. Advertising Agency commission is paid at the discretion of the publisher. Where agreement has been reached it is on the understanding that the Agency has accepted these conditions. We reserve the right to withhold commission whose agencies persistently breach payment terms.

14. The copyright for all purposes in all artwork, copy and other material which the publisher or his employees have originated, contributed to or reworked shall vest in the publisher. The publisher is hereby authorised to record, reproduce, publish, distribute and broadcast (or to permit the same) all supplied advertisement (including but not limited to text, artwork and photographs) and to include and make them available in any information service, electronic or otherwise.

15. The placing of an order for the insertion of an advertisement shall amount to an acceptance of the above conditions and any conditions stipulated on an agency’s order form or elsewhere by an agency or an advertiser shall be void as insofar as they are in conflict with them.

SPECIAL NOTICE

All gross advertising rates (except classified linage and semi-displayed) are subject to a 0.1% Advertising Standards Board of Finance surcharge payable to advertisers, to help finance the self-regulatory control system administered by the Advertising Standards Authority.
