Advertiser's Terms & Conditions
I/We the oversigned hereby understand and agree that I/We shall be responsible for the payment of any fees due for the publishing of listings and/or advertisements, and services provided as listed on the front of this Agreement by Regional Publications Ltd. (The Publisher). It is also understood that when an ad file (digital or other) is supplied for publication in the regular directory, the same ad can also be used in the publication of a reduced size mini directory, CD-ROM, the Internet and other directory products, and may also be used in any promotional material the Publisher produces.
I/We understand and agree that deposits will be payable upon signing of contract, and before work may commence. The Publisher reserves the right to invoke such deposit requirements at a rate determined by the Publisher. Failure to pay such a deposit will result in the cancellation of the contract. The Publisher will have no further obligation under this contact, and all my/our company listings and advertising may be deleted from future publications.
I/We understand and agree that fees are payable within 30 days of billing date(s). Failure to pay fees within the 30-day period will result in interest at 1.5% per month being applied to any outstanding balance, and this will continue to accrue until the account has been paid in full.
I/We understand and agree that if fees are not paid in full 60 days after the final billing date, My/Our account may be placed with a debt collection agency or attorneys and I/We will be responsible for payments of any collections fees, court costs, legal costs, interest and any other expenses incurred by the Publisher in collection of outstanding fees.
I/We understand and agree that:
a) All previous outstanding balances must be paid in full, or the Publisher will have no further obligation under this contract and all of my/our company listings and advertising will be deleted from future publications.
b) The Publisher does not guarantee placement on any particular page or heading.
c) The Publisher will use reasonable efforts to ensure advertisements are placed under each classified heading according to size and seniority (large before small, then early bookings before new and later bookings), or as close as possible to the heading I/We have requested. In the event that an advertisement is placed on another page, the Publisher agrees that an anchor listing will be placed beneath my company listing indicating the location of the advertisement.
d) All listings are limited to the name of the company, a choice between the street or the postal address and any one business phone plus one fax number.
e) I/We must supply any photos, emblems, logos, graphics, etc. that will be used in the ad and only one rough copy (advertisement proof) of my/our advertisement will be provided.
f) The Publisher does not accept responsibility for the return of any supplied material or for any loss incurred thereby. Materials supplied to the publisher should be copies, duplicates and other such material where return is not required.
g) The Publisher shall not be held liable for errors, omissions, misplacement or other irregularities in listings or advertisements or other directory contents or for any loss incurred thereby.
h) Without prejudice to the foregoing in the event of said errors, omissions, misplacements, or other irregularities, the Publisher may, in its sole discretion, provide a rebate to the customer. The rebate will not exceed the fees paid to the Publisher for the respective listings and/or advertisements and any rebate will be determined by the Publisher. If an error should occur in display advertising, the following rebate by the Publisher will be considered:
- Wrong main number 100%
- Wrong alternate call number 15%
- Wrong address - up to 25%
- Incorrect spelling of a business name - up to 25%

i) This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the law.
j) The customer may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligation hereunder without the prior written consent of the Publisher. An assignment shall be deemed to include any change of control of the Customer.

l) The Publisher may at any time on giving 30 days notice to the Customer vary these Terms and Conditions, except for rates and/or charges.
