2.1Any order placed by you constitutes an offer by you to place an Advert in one or more of the Directories and/or to purchase Products and, if relevant, Services, in each case in accordance with these Conditions.
2.2All orders are subject to our acceptance and an order shall only be deemed to be accepted when we confirm it to you and issue an invoice, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
2.3These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that you may seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
3CANCELLATION BY THE PUBLISHER
We may (without prejudice to any other right or remedy) decline to insert any Advert in, or remove any Advert from, a Directory or refrain from proceeding with any other Adverts, Products or Services ordered by you or refuse any further Adverts, Products or Services so ordered without penalty and with immediate effect if you: (i) fail to pay when due any sum payable under the Contract or any other contract to which these Conditions apply; or (ii) fail to observe or perform the Contract.
4PRICES AND PAYMENT
4.1The price for the Advert and/or Products (and, if relevant, Services), together with any delivery charges in respect of the Products (if applicable), are set out overleaf.
4.2You are required to pay each invoice submitted by us within 14 days following the date of the invoice or, if the closing date for the relevant Directory is less than 14 days after the date of the invoice, immediately upon receipt. Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract and we are under no obligation to process any order placed by you until we have received payment in relation to such order.
4.3Payment for all orders may be made over the telephone by credit or debit card or online using the secure link we email to you with our invoice.
4.4Unless specified otherwise, all amounts referred to in the Contract are exclusive of VAT, which shall (if required) be payable by you at the appropriate rate on the same date as the payment to which such VAT relates.
4.5If any sum payable by you is not paid by the due date for payment, we reserve the right: (i) to charge interest on such sum calculated on a daily basis from the due date to the date of actual payment at the rate of four per cent. per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time; and (ii) to instruct a debt collection agency to recover such sum from you, together with any charges incurred by us in doing so which charges you agree to be liable for on an indemnity basis.
5ADVERTS
5.1We will, subject to these Conditions, publish the Advert in the appropriate Directory and will distribute the Directory as we see fit within the relevant area.
5.2All Adverts will be published in accordance with generally accepted printing standards and directory policies, although we reserve the right to make such changes as we deem reasonably necessary.
5.3The Publisher does not give or make any warranty, condition or undertaking whatsoever as to the duration of the lifetime, or minimum circulation number, of any Directory.
6CONTENT AND PROOFING
6.1Any relevant Content for the Advert or the Products is to be provided by you, or on your behalf, within seven days following the date of your order, unless otherwise specified overleaf, failing which we reserve the right to insert your name, address, telephone number and business as appears overleaf or, if applicable, as previously appeared in the most recent edition of the Directory.
6.2After you have provided any relevant Content, we will send you by email a proof copy of any relevant artwork (if applicable) as it will appear in your Advert or Products and ask you, within seven days of receipt (or such other date as may be specified at the relevant time), either to approve the proof copy by returning a signed copy to us or to provide comments on it, failing which we reserve the right to publish it in the form sent to you. Please note that we will not send you a proof copy if your Advert or Products do not feature any artwork.
6.3Any comments on the proof copy will be processed by us and resubmitted to you by email for your approval. Such approval must reach us within seven days following your receipt of the revised proof copy (or such other date as may be specified at the relevant time), failing which we reserve the right to publish it in the form sent to you.
6.4We will not send you a proof copy if you have previously placed an Advert with us or ordered Products from us and there is to be no change in the artwork of your Advert or Products.
6.5If you wish to change the artwork for your Advert or Products more than twice after the first proof copy has been provided to you, we reserve the right to charge you a composition fee of £20 +VAT. There will be no charge for any errors or omissions on the part of the Publisher.
7ADVERT CONTENT
7.1Any Content provided by you shall be taken to have been unconditionally approved for publication and must be accurate in all respects.
7.2You agree to comply in all respects with the provision of any statutes (including any regulations or orders made thereunder) and any other obligations imposed by law which are applicable to the publication of advertisements, including, without limitation, any standards, codes or other regulations imposed by the Advertising Standards Authority (together, "applicable legislation").
7.3We shall not be obliged to publish any Advert or any part thereof which, in our sole discretion: (i) is or may be contrary to, or infringes the terms of, any applicable legislation or the right or privilege of any person; (ii) is or may be defamatory; (iii) is likely to mislead members of the public; (iv) contains material which members of the public might find offensive, prejudicial or inflammatory; (v) is likely to subject us to prosecution, criticism or embarrassment; or (vi) is unacceptable for publication for some other reason.
8LAYOUT OF ADVERTS AND DIRECTORIES
8.1Unless the type of Advert requires otherwise, Adverts are generally arranged in alphabetical sequence in the relevant Directory. However, final position is arranged at our sole discretion to optimise Directory layout and paper usage and we do not give or make any warranty, condition or undertaking whatsoever, whether express or implied, as to the page on which, or position in which, any Advert will appear within the relevant Directory.
8.2Although we make every effort to ensure that the colour of any Content provided by you is displayed as accurately as possible in our Directories or on the Products (as the case may be), we cannot guarantee an exact match and you acknowledge that there may be slight variations from the Content provided and that you will not be entitled to any refund or other remedy in respect of any such variations in colour.
8.3You agree that, if you have only paid for your Advert to appear in a hard copy edition of a Directory, we may also include your Advert or a basic listing of your details in the online edition free of charge. If you do not agree to your Advert or a basic listing of your details appearing in the online edition, please inform us in writing.

9.1We will provide the Products and, if relevant, any Services to you subject to, and in accordance with, the Contract.
9.2We will use reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified overleaf for the supply of the Products and any relevant Services, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time for such performance shall not be of the essence of the Contract.
9.3We warrant to you that: (i) the Products will, on delivery, conform (in all material respects) with their description (including any Content provided by you), be of satisfactory quality, be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship and be reasonably fit for any purpose held out by us; and (ii) the Services will be provided using reasonable skill and care.
9.4We will deliver any Products to you, unless otherwise agreed or specified overleaf. Any delivery charges will be included within our invoice.
9.5You acknowledge and agree that we may use a third party to provide the Services.
9.6Any Products will become your responsibility from the time of delivery or collection (unless you have asked us to provide Services in relation to the Products, in which case we will retain responsibility until such time as the Products have been distributed in accordance with your instructions). Ownership of any Products will pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of those Products, including any delivery charges.
