Advertiser’s Responsibility: Advertisements are accepted and published by the Publisher on the representation that the Agency and the Advertiser are properly authorised to publish the entire contents and subject matter thereof. It is understood that the Advertiser and/or his Agency will indemnify and save the Publisher harmless from and against any loss or expense arising out of publication of such advertisement, including, without limitation, those resulting from claims or suits for libel, violation of right or privacy, plagiarism and copyright infringement. The Publisher will not be liable for any consequential loss or damage occasioned by the failure of any advertisement to appear from any cause whatsoever, nor does he accept liability for errors in any advertisement published.

Due to space limitations and heavy demand, the advertisement may appear in a different section of the magazine or in the following month’s issue. The Publisher accepts fixed position orders for back covers only; orders for back covers are non-cancellable.

Copy Dates: All material must be at the offices of the Publisher not later than 21 days before the first of the month of cover date.
