CONDITIONS FOR ACCEPTANCE OF ADVERTS
At Bargain Pages and Northcliffe Media, readers and advertisers come first.
Customer service and accuracy is paramount to us because that is why we
are the trusted voice and medium for our readers and advertisers in all of the
communities we serve.
To ensure we conform to the standards we aspire to and the standards our
readers and advertisers rightfully demand, the following conditions govern our
acceptance of all advertisements (which are referred to as “adverts” in these
conditions) for publication in our titles and the placing of an advert by any
advertiser is deemed to be an acceptance of these conditions.
1. The advertiser warrants to us that:-
• The reproduction and/or publication of any advert does not breach
any contract or infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, or any
other personal or proprietary rights;
• For investment advertisers, the advertiser must be a person authorised
to place advertising in accordance with the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000. Alternatively, the contents of the advert must be
approved by an authorised person within the meaning of the 1986
Act or otherwise permitted under the 2000 Act or regulations made
under it;
• Adverts comply with the requirements of all relevant legislation and
codes of practice governing the advertising and newspaper industries
in force in the United Kingdom at the time of placing the advert;
• All adverts submitted to us are legal, decent, honest and truthful.
2. Although we take every precaution to ensure all adverts appear correctly
it is also the responsibility of the advertiser to check adverts and notify us
of any mistake or inaccuracy immediately it appears. However, we will
make all reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy at all times. We reserve the
right to make reasonable changes to the size of adverts as they appear on
publication, and for the avoidance of doubt we make no guarantee that an
advert will appear exactly in accordance with any size specifications given.
Adverts purported to be “full-page” or “half-page” shall be sized at our sole
discretion.
3. We will only be liable for any error in the first insertion of an advert and not
for any subsequent insertions of the same advert.
4. In the event of an error in the colour reproduction or in printing of an
advert which materially detracts from it we will re-insert the advert or the
relevant parts of the advert to rectify the error. Alternatively, we may make
a reasonable refund or an adjustment to the cost. Our liability for any error,
misprint or omission will not exceed the lesser of the following:-
• the amount of a full refund of the sum paid to us for the advert or the
first of a series of adverts; or
• the cost of a further or corrected advert of a type and standard
reasonably comparable to the original advert.
5. We will not be liable for any loss of copy, artwork, photographs or other
materials. Advertisers providing such materials are advised to retain
adequate copies for their use in the event of such loss.
6. In all colour publications there may be a small amount of drifting where the
two colours which are required to make any colour, do not entirely match.
This can give the impression of a shadow on the text and cannot be avoided.
We will not be liable for breach of contract where this blurring occurs.
Colour registration will conform to the current IFRA print specifications,
details of which may be found on the IFRA web site: www.ifra.com.
7. We reserve the right to alter or abbreviate any advert as we see fit. The
editor reserves the right to refuse to carry any advert on reasonable grounds,
especially in the spirit of good taste and decency.
8. We reserve the right to charge for certain categories

10. Our agreement to publish any advert is conditional upon us seeing the
proposed advert. We reserve the right to refuse part or all of the advertiser’s
artwork or copy at our sole discretion.
11. If we are required by the Trading Standards, Police or other relevant authority
to disclose information relating to any advert, the advertiser authorises the
disclosure of that information. Any such information will be disclosed by us
in good faith, and the advertiser acknowledges that he will have no cause of
action in respect of any such disclosure.
12. The advertiser acknowledges that neither we nor anyone purporting
to act on our behalf has made any offer to supply advertising space on
the understanding that the advertiser does not acquire or offer to acquire
advertising space in a publication produced by any other person, or to treat
any advertiser more favourably if it does not do so or less favourably if it
does so. We aim to treat all advertisers and other publishers fairly.
13. The following terms apply to trade advertisers or those without monthly
accounts:-
• All trade advertising must be prepaid.
• Credit accounts may be available, subject to status, to trade
advertisers who do not have monthly accounts.
In deciding whether or not to accept applications for credit account facilities,
we may make an application to a credit reference agency for information.
If we do this a note may be made on the advertiser’s credit file held by that
credit reference agency to that effect.
14. Copyright
In consideration of our agreeing to publish any advert the advertiser confirms
that copyright and any other intellectual property rights in the adverts shall
be vested in us and be our sole property and we alone shall have the right
to instigate proceedings and to claim damages and all other relief in respect
of infringements of such copyright and intellectual property rights.
15. Data Protection
The advertiser agrees to the reasonable processing of any personal data
relating to the advertiser within the meaning defined in the Data Protection
Act 1998 (“Personal Data”) by us for the purposes of providing advert
insertion services to the advertiser. Processing of the Personal Data by us we
will comply with all relevant legislation, including but not limited to the Data
Protection Act 1998.
16. These terms and conditions shall be interpreted in accordance with and
governed by English law.
The terms “we”, “us”, “our” refer to Bargain Pages Media Ltd.
The term “advertiser” means the person or body submitting an advert for
publication with us.
