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 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.

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.

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.
