CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE

Orders for insertion of advertisements in the Maidenhead Advertiser, Twyford Advertiser, Slough and Windsor Express Series and associated publications and websites are accepted subject to the following conditions:-
1. Advertisement copy shall be legal, decent, honest and truthful; shall comply with the British Code of Advertising Practice and all other Codes under the general supervision of the Advertising Standards Authority; and shall comply with the requirements of current legislation. In placing the Advertisement the Advertiser agrees that the Company may at its option publish the Advertisement in electronic format.
2.* While every endeavour will be made to meet the wishes of advertisers, the publisher does not guarantee the insertion or position of any particular advertisement. In addition, the publisher does not guarantee to place advertisements in alphabetical order or in traders categories.
3. Whilst doing our utmost to avoid errors we do not hold ourselves responsible for any mistakes that arise in course of publication. Mistakes must be notified to us within two weeks of insertion. After that date claims for credit cannot be considered. Although errors are usually rectified immediately, we regret we are unable to accept responsibility for repetition of any error on subsequent insertions. We therefore request that advertisers kindly check their advertisements weekly.
4. In the event of any error, misprint or omission in the printing of an advertisement or part of an advertisement (not being a matter covered by Clause (5) of this Contract) the publisher will either re-insert the advertisement or relevant part of the advertisement as the case may be or make a reasonable refund of 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 (a) the amount of a full refund of any price paid to the publisher for the advertisement in connection with which liability arose or (b) the cost of a further or corrective advertisement of a type and standard reasonably comparable to that in connection with which liability arose.
5. The publisher reserves the right to:-
(a)* cancel the order at any time by giving reasonable notice before the next insertion,
but in that event the advertiser / advertising agency shall not be liable for payment
of the difference (if any) between the rates for the series specified in the order and
the usual price for the series of insertions which has appeared when the order is
stopped;
(b)* make any alteration it considers necessary or desirable in an advertisement and to
require blocks or copy to be amended to meet its approval
(c)* increase the advertising rates at any stage. Any rate increase will effect all current
booking unless prior agreement has been made
6. The copyright for all purposes in all artwork, copy and other material which the publisher or his employees have contributed to or reworked shall vest in the publisher.
7.* Copy will be changed as required by the advertiser / advertising agency, provided adequate time is allowed.
8.* Omissions or wrong insertions will only be made up with the agreement of the advertiser / advertising agency.
9.* The publisher will allow to an advertising agency the right to cancel any unexpired part of an order without penalty in the event of the death or failure of its client.
10.* Advertisement orders are issued by an Advertising Agency as a Principal and must be on the Agency’s official form. (When copy instructions not constituting an official order are issued, they shall be clearly marked at the head “Copy instructions - Not an Order”).
11.* Proofs are to be passed by the Agency before insertion if time permits.
12.* Voucher copies, tear sheets or other proof of insertion, as agreed, are to be supplied to the agency as soon as possible after publication.
13.* The placing of an order by an advertiser, or an advertising agency on behalf of a client, constitutes an assurance that all necessary authority and permission has been secured in respect of the use in the advertisement(s) of pictorial representations of (or purporting to be of) living persons, and of references to the words attributed to living persons.
14.* The advertiser / advertising agency agrees to indemnify the publisher in respect of all costs, damages, or other charges falling upon the newspaper as a printed or electronic format as the result of legal actions or threatened legal actions arising from the publication of the advertisement, or any one or more of the series of advertisements, published in accordance with the copy instructions supplied to the newspaper in pursuance of the advertiser / advertising agency’s order. In any case where a claim is made against the newspaper or the newspaper is sued and the advertiser / advertising agency may ultimately be liable under the terms hereof, notice in writing shall be given to the advertiser / advertising agency, and consultation shall take place before any expense is incurred or the claim is settled or the case is defended or otherwise disposed of. (Advertisements of prospectuses and company meetings are excluded from clauses (14) and (15).
15. All gross advertising rates (except classified lineage and semi-display) are subject to 0.1% Advertising Standards Board of Finance surcharge payable by advertisers to help finance the self-regulatory control system administered by the Advertising Standards Authority.
16. When monthly credit is allowed, payment for an advertisement is subject to the cash flow rules currently in force and as agreed between the Newspaper Society, the Newspaper Publishers Association Ltd., the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising and the Incorporated Society of British Advertisers:
The due date for payment is the last day of the month after the month in which the
advertisement appeared.
17. The publisher shall not be liable for any loss or damage occasioned by any total or partial failure (however caused) of publication or distribution of any newspaper or edition in which any advertisement is scheduled to appear.
18. Every endeavour will be made to forward replies to box numbers to the advertiser as soon as possible after receipt by the publisher, but the publisher accepts no liability in respect of any loss or damage alleged to have arisen through delay in forwarding or omitting to forward such replies (howsoever caused). The advertiser authorises the publisher to return to its originator any communication which, in the opinion of the publisher, should not be delivered to the advertiser.
19. The layout, design, type faces / sizes, border, etc. of any  advertisements which are not complete artwork are left entirely to the discretion of the composing staff.
20. Due to the heavy demand for advertising space, some advertising pages may be restyled to nine columns. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this method but believe this is preferable to the alternatives of limiting space or having to hold advertisements over to a later issue.
21. 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 insofar as they are in conflict with them.
