GC magazine: Advertisement Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions Advertisement: Shall include loose or other inserts where appropriate. Magazine: Refers to the GC (Government Computing) publication. Advertiser: Means any company, firm or person who has made application for and who has been allocated display or classified space in the magazine or any form of paid material, or any agent or representative - whichever is the principal. All references in the singular shall be construed in the plural and vice-versa. Publisher: Refers solely to Kable Ltd, owner of GC magazine.

1. These conditions shall apply to all advertisements accepted for publication. Any other proposed condition shall be void unless incorporated clearly in written instructions and specifically accepted by the Publisher. 2. All advertisements are accepted subject to the Publisher's approval of the copy and to the space being available. 3. If it is intended to include a competition or a special offer of merchandise in an advertisement other than that normally associated with the advertised product, full details must be submitted at the time of booking. 4. The Publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend any advertisement at any time for good reason, in which case no claim on the part of the Advertiser for damages or breach of contract shall arise. Should such an omission or suspension be due to the act of 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 an omission or suspension shall be notified to the Advertiser as soon as possible. 5. Only cover positions can be guaranteed, and all other positions in the magazine are at the Publisher's discretion. If the Publisher considers it necessary to modify the size of the space or to shift the advertisement to another issue or is unable to fulfil the cover position guarantee, the Advertiser will have the right to cancel (and to receive back the pro-rata cost) if the alterations requested are unacceptable, unless such changes are due to an emergency or circumstances beyond the Publishers' control. Every care is taken to avoid mistakes, but the Publisher cannot accept liability for any errors due to third parties' sub-contractors or inaccurate copy instructions. 6. The Advertiser warrants that the advertisement does not contravene any Act of Parliament nor is it in any 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. The Publisher will consult with the Advertiser as to the way in which such claims are to be handled 8. Advertisement rates are subject to revision at any time and orders are accepted on the condition that the price binds the Publisher only in respect of the next issue to go to press. In event of a rate increase, the Advertiser will have the option to cancel the order without surcharge or continue the order at the revised advertising rates. 9. If an Advertiser cancels the balance of the contract, except in the circumstances set out in Clause 5 or 8 above, the Advertiser relinquishes any right to the previously entitled series discount, 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 the first insertion. The Publisher reserves the right to surcharge in the event of insertions not being completed within the contractual period. 11. Credit accounts are strictly net and payment must be made immediately on receipt of invoice. Interest will be payable on all amounts still outstanding after that day at one per cent over the Barclays Bank base lending rate to be charged monthly. 12. All gross display advertising rates are subject to the current Advertising Standards Board of Finance surcharge payable by the Advertisers. Where orders are placed by Advertising Agents, the Agency will be responsible for collecting this surcharge and paying it to the Advertising Standards Board of Finance. 13. Charges will be made to the Advertiser or the Advertiser's agent where the Printers are involved in extra production work owning to acts or defaults of the Advertiser or the Advertiser's agent. These charges will be at rates agreed prior to publication. Complaints regarding reproduction of advertisements must be received in writing within one calendar month of the cover date. 14. Where the Advertiser has undertaken to supply the inserts which have been accepted and approved by the Publisher, the Publisher reserves the right to charge the agreed rate if they to arrive at the agreed time and place for insertion. 15. Where the Publisher provides a reader enquiry service for the benefit of the readers, the Publisher shall not be contractually bound to pass such enquiries on to the Advertiser. 16. Cancellation or suspension of an insertion must be received in writing by the Publisher four weeks before the copy date for mono and six weeks before the copy date for colour. 17. Copy must be supplied by the Advertiser or their Agent without application from the Publisher. If copy instructions are not received by the agreed copy date, no guarantees can be given that proofs will be supplied nor corrections made and the Publisher reserves the right to repeat the most appropriate copy. 18. Advertisers' 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 all artwork and film which has been in the Publisher's custody for 12 months from the date of its last appearance. 19. Advertisers may not sub-let, assign, or grant licences in respect of the whole or any part of the advertisement allocated to them. Nor may any advertisements of any other firms be included in the advertisement without the express permission of the organisers. 20. These conditions and all other express terms of the contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of England
