(i) In the event of any error, misprint or omission in the publication of an advertisement or part of an advertisement (however caused) the publisher will either re-publish the advertisement or relevant part of the advertisement as the case may be or make a reasonable refund of or adjustment to the cost. No re-publication, refund or adjustment will be made where the error, misprint or omission does not materially detract from the advertisement.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the publisher accepts no liability in respect of any loss or damage alleged to have arisen through delay in forwarding or omitting to forward replies to box numbers to the advertiser (however caused). The advertiser hereby authorises the publisher to return to its originator or destroy any communication which, in the reasonable opinion of the publisher, should not be delivered to the advertiser. 7. The publisher reserves the right to: (i) Refuse any advertisement or if already accepted to cancel the order at any time by giving reasonable notice before the next insertion, but in that event the advertiser/advertising agency shall not be liable for payment of the difference (if any) between the rates for the series specified in the order and the usual price for the series of insertions which has appeared when the order is stopped; (ii) require any alteration it considers necessary or desirable in any advertisement. 8.

When copy instructions not constituting an official order are issued, they shall be clearly marked "Copy instruction - not an order". 20. The terms of the Terms of the Recognition agreement between the Newspaper Society, or between the Newspaper Society and the Newspaper Proprietors' Association and recognised advertising agencies are deemed to be incorporated in these conditions of acceptance of advertisement orders for the publication and transmission of all advertisements accepted from the recognised advertising agency, excluding any recommendations concerning payment terms.
