Advertising Terms and Conditions for Retail Appointment Ltd (TRA) whose registered office is 16 Bristol Gardens, London W9 2JG. Reg No: 8605544.
1.1 These services include print advertising in TRA’s magazine, The Retail Appointment; advertising on TRA’s website www.retailappointment.co.uk; direct marketing via email to TRA’s database and databases of other companies within TRA’s group; and, access to TRA’s CV bank.
1.2 A schedule will be sent to the client detailing the services provided and drawing the client’s attention to these terms and conditions, which are available online. 1.3 TRA will use reasonable skill and care in its provision of the services. As with all electronic communications there will be occasional down time for maintenance or through matters beyond its control. No guarantee is therefore implied that electronic advertising will be live 100% of the duration of the contract. Typically, the site is live for more than 98% of the time.
1.4 In the unlikely event that the site should be down for a period longer than 24 hours, TRA will add that length of time to the duration of the contract. No refund shall be given.
1.5 Any liability assumed by TRA shall be restricted in value to the amount paid by the client. We accept no responsibility whatsoever for losses incurred by TRA’s failure to provide the service above the amount paid by the client.
1.6 TRA reserves the right to remove any content without reference to the client if, in its reasonable judgement, the content is offensive or unlawful. We refer specifically to issues concerning unlawful discrimination.
1.7 The client assumes responsibility for all content and indemnifies TRA for any losses caused through the client’s misuse of the site. As an example, if the client posts material that is defamatory or incites or suggests unlawful discrimination, the client shall indemnify TRA against any losses it may incur if it is found to be liable for damages.
1.8 Should the client wish its content to be removed from the site before the end of the contract, it may do so but no refund will be payable for the unused service. 1.9 The contract is formed once the client has accepted our terms and schedule. If the client subsequently does not use the service, the full fees remain payable.
2.1 Invoices for the agreed amount of services will be raised on the date of acceptance of any proposal for the provision of services or on the written acceptance of a schedule.
2.2 The due date will be 21 days from the date of the invoice or, in the case of print advertising, 7 days after the publication date, whichever is the later.
3.1 The client will be deemed to have accepted these terms, the terms in the schedule provided and any authorised alteration to these terms agreed by a director of TRA, once an email or any other verifiable confirmation has been provided by the client. For the avoidance of doubt, the contract includes all terms herein, and in the schedule of services and the prices agreed.
3.2 In the event of a conflict between these terms and the schedule provided by TRA and any correspondence from TRA altering these terms, the aforementioned schedule and correspondence shall prevail.
