In these conditions Finetime Ltd, as a publisher of magazines carrying advertising, is referred to as Finetime. The advertiser means the person or entity booking space, whether an advertising agency or client.

The publication date means the date on which public distribution of a magazine commences.

1. RATES & COSTS
(a) Rates are quoted exclusive of VAT and may be increased at any time upon 3 months written notice.

(b) If, in addition to the rates quoted in the Rate Card, the advertiser requires artwork, sketches, layout, photography of processing or other services or requirements (collectively "production work") it shall pay Finetime for the same at the cost + VAT quoted at the time of request.

(c) Copyright in any production work provided by Finetime shall remain with Finetime.

(d) All gross advertising rates (except classified lineage and semi-display) are subject to a 0.1% Advertising Standards Board of Finance surcharge, payable by advertisers to help finance the self-regulatory control system administered by the Advertising Standards Authority.

2. ORDERS
(a) Finetime must disclose the name of their clients and the nature of the advertising at time of booking. Any inaccurate disclosure or failure to disclose entitles Fnetime to reject or cancel the order.

(b) Cancellations cannot be accepted from Advertisers after 5 working days of contract date. Covers and promotions are non-cancellable. If after 5 working days Finetime agrees to a cancellation then a fee of 50% (plus VAT if applicable) of the purchase order value will be charged payable 14 days following the date of Finetime Ltd’s written permission to cancel.

(c) Orders for next or facing positions can only be accepted subject to availability at the time of going to press.

It may be collected after 7 days following Publication date on the giving of reasonable notice. If it remains uncollected for 6 months, Finetime is entitled to scrap it. None of the above shall be deemed to have any value other than the cost of materials.

4. PAYMENT
Payment shall be made within 20 days of invoice.
