The Proprietors are not obliged to stop or cancel any advertisement unless they receive written notice which must be received by not less than 30 days prior to the copy deadline date for the publication.
All Advertisers must pre-pay unless credit has been approved. The maximum credit term will be 30 days from date of invoice. Where credit terms have been agreed payment must be made in full by the invoice due date.

Where inserts are supplied by an Advertiser which do not comply with the original specification, the Proprietor may reject the inserts or invoice the Advertiser for any additional costs incurred by the Proprietor.
In the event that an Advertiser who has received a discount from the published ratecard (in consideration of having entered into a contract with the Proprietors to place a series of advertisements in the Title) fails to honour the contracted number of advertisements in the series the Proprietors reserve the right to invoice the Advertiser for the amount of any discounts from ratecard previously received to be payable on demand.
The Proprietors reserve the right from time to time to alter these Conditions. The Proprietors shall endeavour to give notice to any Advertisers likely to be affected thereby.
Should any court, competent tribunal or authority find any of these conditions unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall be enforceable. Should any other exclusion or limitation of the liability of the Proprietors contained herein be found by any such court to be unenforceable, the Proprietors’ liability in respect of any breach hereof giving rise to damage (other than personal injury or death) shall be limited to the charges to be levied for the placing of the advertisement in question.

These Terms and Conditions and any agreement to which they apply shall be subject to the Laws of England and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts but the Proprietors are entitled. at their sole discretion, to take action in any other competent jurisdiction.
