When preparing artwork for advertisements, please note the following:

• The document should be saved as CMYK, this includes all

bitmapped images, vector graphics and text.

• Any image files that are in colour spaces other than CMYK will

result in unpredictable changes to the colour output – do not

supply in RGB or using Pantone colours.

• All colour and greyscale image files should be saved at 300 dpi (120

dpcm) at the size used. Line art (1 bit mono) should be saved at a

minimum of 1200 dpi.

• Please note that many cheaper desktop scanners do not produce

press-quality results however good the images may appear on screen.

• Text in embedded vector graphics should be saved as outlines to

avoid subsequent font substitution.

• Use only Type 1 PostScript or OpenTypefonts. Do not use Truetype,

Multiple Master or bitmap fonts.

• We recommend that very small type sizes (less than 10 pt) use

one or two process colours only as using small type made from all

four process colours may result in fuzzy print.

• Do not include type to print white-out of four colours if it is in a

light-weight font or smaller than 10pt. Unless it is bold, reverse out

of one colour only.

Conditions of acceptance

These conditions shall apply to all advertisements accepted for

publication. Any other proposed condition shall be void unless

incorporated clearly in written instructions and specifically accepted by

the Publisher.

All advertisements are accepted subject to the Publisher’s approval of

the copy and to the space being available.

If it is intended to include in an advertisement a competition or a

special offer or merchandise, other than that normally associated with

the advertised product, full details must be submitted at the time of

booking.

The Publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend an advertisement

at any time for good reason, in which case no claim on the part of

any Advertiser for damages or breach of contract shall arise. Should

such an omission or suspension be due to the act or default of the

Advertiser or his servants or agents then the space reserved for the

Advertiser or his servants or agents then the space reserved for

the advertisement shall be paid for in full notwithstanding that the

advertisement has not appeared. Such omission or suspension shall

be notified to the Advertiser as soon as possible.

If the Publisher considers it necessary to modify the space or alter

the date or position of insertion or make any other alteration, the

Advertiser will have the right to cancel if the alterations requested

are unacceptable, unless such charges are due to an emergency or

circumstances beyond the Publisher’s control. Every care is taken

to avoid mistakes but the Publisher cannot accept responsibility 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 any other way illegal or defamatory or

an infringement of any other party’s rights or an infringement of the

British Code of Advertising Practice.

The Advertiser will indemnify the Publisher 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.

Advertisement rates are subject to revision at any time and orders are

accepted on the condition that the price binds the Publisher only in

respect of the next issue to go to press. In the event of a rate increase,

the Advertiser will have the option to cancel the order without surcharge

or continue the order at the revised advertisement rates.

If an Advertiser cancels the balance of the contract, except in the

circumstances set out in Clauses 5 or 8 above, he relinquishes any

right to that series discount to which he was entitled previously and

advertisements will be paid for at the appropriate rate.

Series discounts apply only to orders placed in advance and completed

within one year of date of first insertion. The Publishers reserves the right

to surcharge in the event of insertions not being completed within the

contractual period.

Credit accounts are strictly net and payment must be received by the end

of the months following date of invoice. Interest will be payable on all

amounts still outstanding after that date at 1% (one per cent) over Bank

of England Minimum Lending Rate, to be charged monthly.

Charges will be made to the Advertiser or his agent where the Printers

are involved in extra production work owing to acts or defaults of the

Advertiser or his Agent. These charges will be at the rates agreed prior to

publication. Complaints regarding reproduction of advertisements must

be received in writing within one calendar month of the cover date.

Where the Advertiser has undertaken to supply inserts which have been

accepted and approved by the Publisher, the Publisher reserves the right

to charge the rate agreed if they fail to arrive at the agreed time and

place for insertion.

Cancellation or suspension of an insertion must be received in writing by

the Publisher within one month prior to the copy closing date.

Copy must be supplied by the Advertiser or his Agent without application

from the Publisher If copy instructions are not received by agreed

“copy date” no guarantee can be given that proofs will be supplied nor

corrections made and the Publisher reserves the right to repeat the most

appropriate copy.

For the purpose of these conditions, “Advertiser” shall refer to the

Advertiser or his Agent whichever is the principal. “Advertisement” shall

include loose or other “inset” where appropriate.

These conditions and all other express terms of the contract shall be

governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of England.
