copy submitted by the Publisher, provided that the Publisher

the advertising copy.
6. The Publisher shall be entitled to destroy all material
held in respect of any advertisement if the Advertiser
does not reclaim it within 6 months from the date of publication
of the last advertisement.
7.1 Account facilities are only available to trade advertisers.
When assessing applications for credit terms the Publisher
will make a search with a credit reference agency, which
will keep a record of that search and will share that
information with other businesses. The Publisher may also
make enquiries about the principal directors with a credit
reference agency. The publisher will monitor and record
information relating to your trade performance and such
records will be made available to credit reference agencies
who will share that information with other businesses
in assessing applications for credit and fraud prevention.
Such information will also be made available to other
organisations to assess applications for credit.
7.2 The Publisher reserves the right to amend, suspend
or withdraw account facilities at their absolute discretion
without notice. The Publisher shall attempt, where practical,

account is unpaid under the Publisher's credit terms.

must comply with the current UK legislation including
The Trades Descriptions Act, The Fair Trading Act, The

Order. In addition all advertisements must comply with
the British Code of Advertising Practice.
9. The Advertiser shall be responsible for any losses,
expenses or other costs incurred by the publisher arising
in respect of the advertisement and/or its publication,
(eg if we have published an advertisement in good faith
and then action is taken against us by a third party because
of the content of the advertisement). This term will apply
only where the Publisher has not acted negligently.
10. Where the Publisher has (without making an additional
charge to the Advertiser for doing so) prepared or arranged
for the preparation of artwork, drawings, sketches, photographs
and text the Advertiser here grants to the Publisher all
intellectual property rights in such artwork, drawings,
sketches, photographs and text and these shall at all
times remain the Publishers property. No license is granted

text without the written consent of the Publisher.
11. The Advertiser agrees to notify the Publisher of

to them.

copy supplied to the Publisher: (i) infinges or prejudices
the rights of any third party (including intellectual

practicable, to contact the Advertiser prior to publication.
14. The Publisher shall be entitled at its election,
and without additional cost to the Advertiser, to publish
the Advertiser's advertisement, or an appropriate extract,

no to do so.
15. It is the intention of the publisher that all the
terms of the agreement between the Publisher and Advertiser
are contained in this document. If the advertiser wishes
to rely on any variation to these terms, such variations
must be agreed with the Publisher at the time that the
contract is entered into and confirmed in writing to the
Publisher as soon as possible thereafter. 16. The agreement
will be governed by the law of England and Wales and the
