1.1 It is the responsibility of the Customer to read these terms and conditions carefully. The placing of an order for any advertising by a Customer covers acceptance by the Customer of these Terms and Conditions and of all rates set out by Sage Media Group in the rate cards unless otherwise agreed in writing by Sage Media. To the extent that any order submitted by the Customer attempts to include terms that are inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions, those terms will not apply.
1.2 It is understood that Advertisements booked via the use of the signed booking form are by an authorised person within the Customer's company. As such the Customer's company will be held liable for all costs and expenses related to this order.
2.1 All rates/charges displayed in this rate card are exclusive of the amount of GST. All Customers must pay the GST amount at the same time and in the same manner as the charges based on these rates. Sage Media reserves the right to alter any advertising rate, without notice, at any time. However, any changes to the applicable rates will not apply to any orders made prior to the date of such change. The reselling of advertising to a third party is not permitted without written consent by Sage Media.
3.1 As we have a responsibility to our Customers to deliver our magazine on time, we will require all artwork and changes to be submitted before the deadline specified. It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that all artwork is submitted on time. Material either not supplied or received too late to make the edition will result in Sage Media either using existing material or opting not to publish the advertisement and the Customer being charged the full rate for the advertising space booked.

Online advertising content must be submitted at least 3 days before the artwork submission deadline and must comply with Sage Media's material specifications.

No claims will be considered for advertising material that has been supplied outside our accepted material requirements listed on the rate card.
5.3 If a booked Advertisement is not published at all solely due to a mistake on Sage Media's part, Sage Media will try to offer an alternative publication date(s). If the alternative date(s) is not accepted, the original booking will be cancelled and the Customer shall be entitled to a full refund if the Customer has paid in advance for the Advertisement.
