Cityview - Advertising terms and conditions

These conditions apply to all advertisements accepted for publication within Cityview. Any other proposed condition shall be void unless incorporated clearly in written instructions and specially accepted to the publisher’s approval of the copy and space being available.

The publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend an advertisement at any time, in which case no claim on the part of any advertiser for damages or breach of contract shall arise. Such omission or suspension shall be notified to the advertiser as soon as possible.

Every care is taken to avoid mistakes, but the publisher or its agents cannot accept liability for any errors due to third parties, subcontractors or inaccurate copy instructions.

The advertiser warrants that the advertisement does not contravene any Act of Parliament* nor is it in any way illegal or defamatory or an infringement of the British Code of Advertising Practice.

The advertiser will indemnify the publisher and its agents fully in respect of any claim made against the publisher arising from the advertisement.

The publisher will consult with the advertiser as to the way in which such claims are to be handled.

For the purpose of these conditions advertisers shall refer to the advertiser or his agents whichever is the principal. All advertisements are placed at the discretion of the editor.
