In such circumstances, Media Owner shall circulate an updated Schematic to the Advertiser.

4. ASSET DELIVERY.

4.1 For all Campaign Material due for publication in a print publication or any digital version of a print publication (hereinafter referred to as a “Title”), the Advertiser must deliver all Assets to Media Owner, in accordance with Media Owner’s technical specifications, no later than: (i) 21 days before the “on sale” date in respect of monthly and fortnightly Title; or (ii) 7 days before the “on sale” date in respect of weekly Titles.

4.2 For all Campaign Material due for broadcast on any of Media Owner’s radio stations:

(i) if and to the extent Media Owner is responsible for the development and creation of the Campaign Material, the Advertiser shall deliver to Media Owner all Assets necessary for Media Owner to develop the Campaign Material (in the format and style agreed with Media Owner in advance) at least 14 working days before the Campaign start date (unless otherwise detailed in the Schematic);

(ii) if the Assets comprise the complete radio advertisement, the Advertiser shall deliver to Media Owner all Assets (in the format and style agreed with Media Owner in advance, together with all consignment notes, rotation details and RadioCentre approvals) at least 3 working days before the Campaign start date.

4.3 For all Campaign Material due for digital delivery (whether via a website, application, email or social media) the Advertiser must deliver Assets to Media Owner, before the deadline, pre-agreed between the Parties, and set out in the Schematic. All Assets due for delivery via a digital platform must comply with Media Owner’s “Advertising Specifications” (at: http://www.bauermedia.co.uk/adspecs). Media Owner will have no obligation to publish digital advertising if Assets are not delivered to Media Owner before the agreed deadline. If Assets are delivered to Media Owner after the agreed deadline but by midday on the day prior to the Campaign start date, Media Owner may at its discretion (but without any obligation to do so) pro rata down the number of agreed Impressions to be delivered for each day that the Assets are later than the agreed deadline. For example, if a Campaign is scheduled to run for 20 days and the number of Impressions ordered is 100,000 then, if the Assets are delivered 2 days after the deadline, then Media Owner may deliver 90,000 Impressions rather than 100,000. However, the Buyer / Advertiser must still pay for the full 100,000 Impressions.

4.4 Save where such failure is caused solely by the Media Owner, Media Owner reserves the right to charge the Advertiser reasonable costs and expenses (payable by the Buyer) if the Advertiser fails to supply Assets which comply with Media Owner’s specifications either at all or by the agreed time. The Advertiser also acknowledges that a delay in providing Assets to Media Owner may cause delay in the development and/or distribution of the Campaign Material and /or the Campaign as a whole and Media Owner shall not be liable for such delay.

4.5 Failure to supply Assets shall not diminish the Buyer’s responsibility to pay all charges as specified in the Deal Terms, even if such failure results in a delay, suspension or cancellation of the Campaign.

5. Media Owner may, in its sole but reasonable discretion, refuse to broadcast, publish or otherwise publicly communicate any Assets or any Campaign Material in its entirety, or, if broadcast or public communication has already commenced, refuse a future broadcast or public communication, or require an amendment to any Assets or Campaign Material prior to any broadcast or public communication, if:

5.3 reasonably required to avoid / remedy the risk of bringing Media Owner into disrepute or harming its reputation;

(b) if payment of the media charge has already been made, Media Owner shall (at the Advertiser’s discretion) either correct the error and re publish the Campaign Material, without charge, extending the Campaign Term, if necessary, or credit the Buyer (for the benefit of the Advertiser) for the media charge associated with delivery / publication of that individual piece (or pieces) of Campaign Material. Such credit may then be used in any subsequent advertising or promotional campaign booked by the Advertiser.

(d) 28 working days before the date the of scheduled broadcast for any radio or television element of the Campaign.

If an instruction is received before the relevant deadline, the Buyer (for the benefit of the Advertiser) shall be entitled to a refund for any proportion of the media charges already paid. The Buyer shall still, however, be liable for all production charges Media Owner reasonably incurs prior to the receipt of the cancellation notice.

15.3 Media Owners may treat the fact that either the Advertiser or Buyer are deemed unable to pay their debts within the meaning of Section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 as a cancellation for the purposes of this clause 15.

16. Unless stated otherwise in the Deal Terms, the Media Owner has ultimate control over the display, format and positioning of advertisements on or within its media platforms. The Media Owner shall, however take the Advertiser’s concerns and suggestions into consideration.

19. Campaign Reporting for digital advertising. Media Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Advertiser with details of the Impressions generated during the Campaign Term, 30 days after the end of the Campaign Term (“Impression Report”). The Advertiser accepts that the Impression Report shall be the sole and definitive measurement of the number of Impressions generated over the Campaign Term and shall be binding on the Parties, save in the case of a manifest error or if there is a disparity of more than 10% between the Impression Report and the Buyer’s own records. In the event of an under-delivery, of the Impressions ordered for the digital portion of the Campaign, which is greater than 10%, Media Owner in its absolute discretion may choose to either extend the Campaign Term (for the digital portion of the Campaign only) or reduce the digital media charges on a pro-rata basis so that such charges are consistent with the actual delivery of the digital part of the Campaign, as agreed between the Parties, in good faith. The Advertiser may contract with a 3rd party to host its digital advertisements. In such circumstances, the Advertiser may receive an alternative campaign delivery report from this 3rd party host. Media Owner shall have no obligation to obtain such a report for the Advertiser who accepts that such report, may show a discrepancy from the Impression Report of about 10% for Standard Creatives and about 50% for Rich Media overlays. This discrepancy will be higher if the Assets don’t comply with the advertising specifications at: http://www.bauermedia.co.uk/adspecs. During the Campaign Term and thereafter, the Advertiser must not disclose the Impression Report to any third party without the Media Owner’s prior written consent.

20. SUPPLY OF PRIZES. If the Campaign includes a Competition(s) promoted by a Media Owner for which the Advertiser is responsible for supplying and /or arranging a prize, the Advertiser, acknowledges and agrees as follows.

20.1 Media Owner will be notified to Competition entrants as the Competition “promoter” (as such term is defined by the Advertising Standards Authority) but, if necessary or desirable, the Advertiser grants Media Owner permission to refer to it as the provider of the prize at all times when the Competition is promoted as part of the Campaign.

20.2 The Advertiser warrants that it is entitled to grant Media Owner permission to provide the prize as a prize for the Competition.

20.3 Media Owner will provide the Advertiser with a copy of the competition terms and conditions (the “Rules”) for approval at least 7 days before the Competition start date. The Advertiser must then respond within 3 days and raise any objections to the description of the prize in the proposed Rules. Failure to do so shall be automatically interpreted as the Advertiser’s approval of the Rules and the description of the prize contained therein.

20.4 Once the Rules are approved, the Advertiser warrants that it will make no changes to the prize as it is described in them.

20.5 The Advertiser must notify Media Owner immediately if, for any reason, it suspects that it will be unable to supply the prize, there will be a delay, or the prize will require modification to that which is described in the Rules. The Advertiser shall then provide an alternative prize (of equivalent value and product description) which Media Owner, acting reasonably, deems appropriate.

20.6. If the Advertiser is also responsible for delivering the prize to the winner, it shall provide the winner with all information the winner reasonably requires to receive and enjoy the prize and must deliver the prize or, if not possible, contact the winner to make arrangements for delivery, within a week of the Competition end date. The prize should always be delivered to the winner within 28 days of the date that the winner is announced unless there are extenuating circumstances, in which case, the Advertiser, must keep the winner informed about when they will receive their prize and the reason for the delay. If applicable, the Advertiser will provide, before the Competition start date, contact details for its representative with responsibility for arranging delivery of the prize(s). These details will be provided to the winner(s) when Media Owner notifies them that they have won. This person will then be expected to liaise with the winner(s) and must confirm to Media Owner, in writing, when the winner(s) has received its prize and (if applicable) when the winner(s) has been contacted about their prize, to arrange its delivery.
