All advertisements are accepted by Tindle Newspapers Ltd on the express condition that the Advertiser guarantees his advertisement does not contravene the provisions of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 or the Business Advertisements (Disclosure) Order, 1977.

Advertisers are reminded that advertisements submitted for publication should not contravene the Equality Act 2010, by indicating an intention to discriminate between the sexes. Where an exemption is considered, a statement giving details of the grounds on which the exemption is based must be offered to the Publishers.

The Proprietors reserve the right to decline any copy which they consider unsuitable or contrary to these Terms whether an order has been accepted or not.

Every care is taken to ensure prompt posting of all advertisements but guarantee of posting cannot be given. No responsibility can be accepted for the omission of one or more series of advertisements, however caused, or for the loss or delay in Box Number replies. Artwork will be stored for a period of 6 months after use. In the event of any error, or omission in an advertisement or part of an advertisement the publisher will either re-insert the advertisement or relevant part of the advertisement as the case may be or make a reasonable refund of or adjustment to the cost.

It is the responsibility of the Advertiser to notify Tindle Newspapers Ltd of any error immediately it appears.

Tindle Newspapers Ltd reserve the right to make any alterations to an advertisement to ensure its conformity with their newspapers’ standards.

Rates are subject to revision and the right is reserved to vary contract terms and conditions. The placing of an order for the posting of an advertisement shall amount to an acceptance of the above condition and any condition stipulated on an agency’s order form or elsewhere by an agency or an advertiser shall be void insofar as they are in conflict with them.

The Cambrian News series reserve the right to refuse any application for an advertisement or any advertisement on such grounds as they think fit.

Whilst every reasonable care is taken when displaying advertisements, we cannot be responsible for the quality of the advertisement if the advertisement copy, supplied by the customer, has not been compiled using the correct specifications for the website.

Complete copies of our conditions are available on request.
