Unless the context otherwise requires, words denoting the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.
 

1 Subject to cl. 2, any Booking made by Advertiser will be on the Terms set out in this document. By making a Booking Advertiser accepts in full these Terms in respect of the Booking and in respect of any further Booking made by the Client and/or Agency. These Terms shall apply to all Booking made by telephone, letter, facsimile, e-mail or any other means.
 

2 These Terms are an invitation to treat and as such do not constitute a binding offer to enter into a contract. Any Booking made by Advertiser will upon receipt by Advertiser of Hidden’s Order Acceptance document create a binding contract between Sussex Living Ltd and Advertiser.
 

3 Advertiser shall deliver the Copy to arrive at Hidden by the Copy Deadline, such copies to be produced in any format that conforms to Hidden’s requirements as notified by Hidden to Advertiser. Hidden reserves the right to charge for production work and any other additional work that Hidden may be required to undertake.
 

4 Hidden may in exceptional cases and at its own discretion accept Bookings and Copy after the Copy Deadline. Such acceptance shall not impose any obligation whatsoever on Hidden to accept any other Booking or Copy after the Copy Date.
 

5 At Hidden’s discretion payments may be subject to a deduction for advertising agency commission at the rate agreed between the Client and the Agency up to 10% of the relevant invoice. Save for such commission there shall be no deductions or withholdings whatsoever. All sums shall be paid together with any VAT or other sales tax applicable.

8 In the event of late payment, Hidden reserves the right to waive any agreed discounts and other services such as online support.
 

9 Hidden shall be entitled to cancel any Booking without incurring any liability to Advertiser.

12 Notification of cancellations, need to be received before the 10th of the month relevant to the issue we are working on. After this date a cancellation fee of 25% of the booking will be payable.
 

13 Subject to cl. 14 in the event that Advertiser terminates, cancels or fails to fulfil its obligations under a contract in which Hidden and Advertiser have agreed a time period in which Advertiser shall book an agreed number of advertisements at rates notified by Hidden to
the Contacting Party, Advertiser loses the right to a series discount to which it may have been entitled. In such event, Advertiser shall pay to Hidden a sum in respect of each of the advertisements placed, such sum representing the difference between the rate agreed under the said contract and the rate that is applicable for the number of advertisements actually
placed, such rate to be notified by Hidden to Advertiser.
 

14 Hidden reserves the right to increase the advertisement rates as notified by Hidden to Advertiser or to amend any terms agreed
between the parties as to space for the advertisement. In such event Advertiser has the option of cancelling the Booking without incurring a cancellation fee.

Copy contains any obscene, indecent, defamatory or in any other way unlawful material and that all factual statements contained in the Copy are true and will not expose Hidden to civil or criminal proceedings; e) all Advertisement Copies supplied by Sussex Living Ltd comply with the British Code of Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing, the Trade Descriptions Act and any other Acts of Parliament or regulatory code; f) due and careful enquiry has been made to ensure that nothing contained
in the Copy may make its publication illegal or actionable for any reason;
 

17 Advertiser shall indemnify and shall keep Hidden indemnified against all actions, proceedings, costs, including without limitation legal costs, damages, losses, expenses, penalties, claims, demands and liabilities arising from either the publication of the advertisement or any breach of any warranties given by Advertiser in accordance with these Terms.
 

18 Hidden disclaims all liability for any loss or, damage, consequential or otherwise, occasioned by error, late publication or the failure of an advertisement to appear from any cause whatsoever.
 

19 In the event of any Copy not being received by the Copy Deadline, Hidden reserves the right to repeat the copy last used. In such event Hidden shall not be responsible for making any changes in that copy, unless these are confirmed in writing and in time for the changes to be made. Hidden reserves the right to charge for any additional expense involved in such changes.
 

20 Hidden reserves the right to destroy all material that has been in its (or its printers) custody for one year provided that Advertiser has not given instructions to the contrary. Hidden may exercise his right under this clause without giving further notice to Advertiser.

23 The rights and conditions set out in these Terms shall not be assigned by Advertiser without Hidden’s prior written consent.
 

24 Any notice or other information to be given by either party under these Terms shall be made by first class prepaid mail, facsimile transmission to the address above or to an e-mail address supplied by Hidden for the purpose for Hidden, and to the address or electronic e-mail address supplied by Advertiser to Hidden, and shall be deemed to have been communicated upon the date of actual delivery.
