Standard Advertising Terms and Conditions

1. Advocate South accepts and publishes an advertisement or notice, subject to and relying on the advertiser’s express guarantee that i) The advertisement complies with the Advertising Codes of Practice issued by the Advertising Standards Authority Inc. (ASA) and with every other code of industry standard relating to advertising in New Zealand, and ii) The advertisement does not contain anything that is defamatory or indecent or offensive that breaches any provision of any stature, regulation, bylaw or other rule or law; that is likely to mislead or deceive or otherwise breach the Fair Trading Act 1986; that infringes a copyright or trademark or any intellectual or industrial property rights, and iii) Publication of the advertisement will not create any liability on our part or in a claim being made against us.

2. The advertiser agrees to indemnify Advocate South against all costs or losses arising directly or indirectly from any breach of those warranties by the advertiser and from any costs incurred in our making corrections or amendments in accordance with the terms that follow.

3. Where the creative design services of the Advocate South are used by an advertiser, then the advertiser acknowledges that Advocate South owns the copyright for that work and that no commissioning payment has been made or agreed.

4. Upon an advertiser supplying or placing an advertisement for publication that advertiser grants Advocate South a perpetual royalty free license to reproduce the advertisement in any print or electronic advertising media we offer advertisers now or in the future.

5. The guarantees contained in The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are excluded where the advertiser acquires, or holds himself out as acquiring, goods or services from us for the purpose of a business.

6. An advertisement may be refused or withdrawn from publication without Advocate South having to give a reason.

7. An advertisement may be corrected or amended to conform to our style or for any other genuine reason as long as we do so using reasonable care.

8. Should there be a delay with publishing the booked advertisement then Advocate South may publish the advertisement in the next possible edition.

9. An advertiser may not transfer space they have ordered to another person or entity.

10. The advertiser must advise Advocate South as soon as possible if there is an error or omission in any advertisement the advertiser has placed. Advocate South will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss (which includes loss of revenue or profit) from an error or omission or failure to publish and if we are found to have any direct liability or any circumstance that liability is limited to the cost of the space of the advertisement.

11. To cancel an advertisement a written cancellation must have been received in writing by, and acknowledgement obtained from, Advocate South 28 days prior to issue date.

12. Advertisements will be charged at the published rate at the time of ordering, unless mutually agreed otherwise in writing. Early cancellation of an advertising contract, by the advertiser, will deem any design and volume discounts received to be payable in full to Advocate South at the published casual rate. Rate card adjustments will apply to all advertisements appearing 28 days after the rate adjustment is published.

13. Failure of the advertiser to make payment for advertising by the due date (that being the 20th of the month following invoice, unless we specify otherwise) will make the advertiser liable for compound interest at 2.0% per month and all recovery costs, commissions and collection fees.
