Terms and conditions

Conferences

FEE: Your one-day fee includes attendance, refreshments, lunch and paper documentation. It is a condition of booking that payment must be made within the terms of the invoice. For late bookings the fee is payable 14 days in advance. Please send your cheque for the relevant amount with your booking form or complete the credit card payment details, or invoice details. Provisional bookings by telephone or email must be confirmed in writing by fax or post. Once payment has been received a VAT receipt will be sent. Payment must include VAT.

OUR CONFIRMATION OF YOUR BOOKING: All bookings will be acknowledged in writing within seven working days of their receipt and joining instructions (final conference details and a venue location map) will be sent out to delegates approximately two weeks before the event. Please telephone 0844 477 4801 or email conference@payrollworld.com immediately:

• If you have not received written acknowledgement of your booking within two weeks of despatch
• If you have not received your joining instructions five days before the event.

SPECIAL NEEDS: If you have any special needs or particular dietary requirements, we are happy to help where possible. Please contact us with details.

CANCELLATIONS: You must let us know in writing 28 days prior to the conference date if you wish to cancel your place. Cancellation will incur an £80 fee per delegate. There can be no refunds after this date. We are, however, able to accept a substitute delegate at any time before the event. The conference programme is correct at the time of going to press. However we reserve the right to alter or cancel the programme in the face of circumstances beyond our control.

Important notes: The booking form constitutes a legally binding contract. It may be necessary for reasons beyond the control of Payroll World to change the content and timing of the conference, the speakers, the date or venue. In the unlikely event of a conference being cancelled, Payroll World will automatically make a full refund but disclaim any further liability. All material used and/or provided to delegates is subject to copyright and may not be used without the written consent of Payroll World.

Advertising

1. These Conditions shall apply to all Advertisements accepted for publication by Maximvs Ltd, trading as Payroll World (PW) in any of its magazines, or other publications either printed or in electronic format ("Publications"). Any other proposed conditions shall be void unless accepted by PW in writing. For the purpose of these conditions: "Advertisement" shall mean matter to be printed on the page, separately inserted or otherwise published; "Buyer" shall mean the person placing the order with PW for the insertion of the Advertisement whether such person be the advertiser of the product or service promoted ("the Advertiser") or the Advertiser's media buyer, agent, employee or agency.

2. The Buyer agrees that, in relation to an Advertisement, the Buyer contracts with PW as a principal notwithstanding that the Buyer may be acting directly or indirectly for the Advertiser as an agent or media buyer or in some other capacity. Where the Buyer is the Advertiser's agency, the Buyer warrants that it is authorised by the Advertiser to place the Advertisement with PW and the Buyer will indemnify PW against any claim made by the Advertiser against PW arising from the publication thereof.

3. PW reserves the right to omit or suspend an Advertisement at any time for good reason, in which case no claim on the part of the Buyer for damages or breach of contract shall arise. Should such an omission or suspension be due to the act or default of the Buyer, the Advertiser or their respective servants or agents, then the Advertisement shall be paid for in full notwithstanding that the Advertisement has not been published by PW.

4. PW shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Buyer as a result of any total or partial failure (howsoever caused) of publication or distribution of any Publication or issue in which any Advertisement is scheduled to be included. In the event of any error, misprint or omission in the printing of an Advertisement or part of an Advertisement, PW will either reinsert the Advertisement or relevant part of the Advertisement as the case may be in a subsequent issue of the Publication. Without prejudice to the foregoing, PW shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss including, without limitation, loss of business or profits in consequence of any error, misprint or omission in the publication of the Advertisement. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to check the correctness of the Advertisement (and each insertion of the Advertisement, if more than one).

5. Where the Buyer has undertaken to supply inserts forming part or all of the Advertisement, PW reserves the right to charge the rate agreed if the inserts fail to arrive at the agreed time.

6. The Buyer's property, copy, artwork, film, disks and photographs etc. are held at the Buyer's risk and should be insured by the Buyer against loss or damage from whatever cause.

7. If PW considers it necessary to modify the space or alter the date or position of the Advertisement or make any other alteration of an Advertisement accepted for insertion, the Buyer will have the right to cancel the publication of the Advertisement if the alterations requested are unacceptable.

8. If the Buyer cancels the balance of a contract to publish a series of Advertisements, it relinquishes any right to that series discount to which it was entitled previously and Advertisements will be paid for at the appropriate rate.

9. Series discounts apply only to orders placed in advance and completed within one year of first publication. PW reserves the right to adjust advance discounts and/or to surcharge in the event of a series of Advertisements not being completed within a one-year period.

10. Cancellation or suspension of an Advertisement must be received in writing by PW 28 days prior to PW's varying production deadlines.

11. Invoices must be settled in accordance with the terms shown on the invoice which are strictly net or, if no terms are shown, by the date of publication. In default, all outstanding transactions will become liable for immediate settlement. Interest will be charged monthly on overdue accounts at the rate of 2% above the Nat West Bank's Minimum lending rate.

12. Charges will be made to the Buyer where printers are involved in additional production work as a result of acts or defaults of the Buyer or Advertiser.

13. Advertising rates are subject to revision at any time. All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT.

14. The Buyer warrants that the Advertisement does not contravene any UK legislation (including the laws of the European Union) nor is it illegal, defamatory or an infringement of any other party's intellectual property rights or is a breach of the British Code of Advertising practice nor will it in any way render PW liable to any proceedings whatsoever.

15. These conditions and all other express terms of the contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of England and the parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
