A space reservation is considered to have been agreed when the advertising sales department:
1.receives an order form signed and dated by the advertiser, by fax or letter, or
2.receives a confirmation of order from the advertiser, by email, or
3.receives an authorisation to take payment from the client’s credit card, the details of which must be supplied by telephone, email, fax or letter, or
4.receives a cheque from the advertiser, or
5.receives the artwork for the advert in question. We will consider that by supplying copy or copy instructions for an advertisement, the advertiser is demonstrating consent to the reservation.
6.We reserve the right to refuse to insert any advertisement even though confirmed and/or paid for by the client, and to make any alterations we deem necessary to maintain our standards of quality and decency.
2.Advertising Agency commissions:
Advertising Agency commission is paid at 10%. Where agreement has been reached it is on the understanding that the Agency has accepted these conditions. We reserve the right to withhold commission where agencies persistently breach payment terms.
3.Supplying artwork:
Our published rates for space bookings are based on the assumption that the advertiser will supply completed, finished artwork in a hi-resolution pdf format. The publishers offer a production service to prepare advertisements for those customers without access to such facilities and in some cases, a charge may be made relative to the amount of work incurred. In the event of copy not being supplied on time, G3 Defence reserve the right to repeat any previous advertisement without further reference and at the same insertion charge, to compose an advertisement on behalf of the advertiser using what information is available to us, or go to press without the advertisement, for which a full charge will be made in the same manner as for a late cancellation.
4.Proofs:
Where advertisement copy instructions are received no later than the appropriate copy deadline date, a proof will be supplied to the advertiser by email (in pdf format), fax, or letter (if time allows).
When advertisement copy instructions are supplied after the appropriate copy deadline date, G3 Defence will endeavour to send a proof to the advertiser but cannot guarantee that there will be time to do so and will not be liable should errors occur. Advertisers are reminded that the purpose of a proof is to check that the publisher has designed the advertisement according to the advertiser’s original instructions. Where a proof has been supplied and agreed by the advertiser prior to publication but is later found to have included errors, no credit will be considered in respect of those errors.
