Advertising Terms and Conditions

Advertisements are accepted, subject to the following Terms & Conditions:

1.    We reserve the right to refuse, withdraw or amend any information submitted for publication on this website.

2.    We will be indemnified in full by any advertiser for any expense or damage that we may incur as a consequence of the publication of information provided by an advertiser.

3.    To protect quality and exclusivity, we cannot accept or continue to display, customers who also advertise on any rival website primarily targeting West Bay.  To protect our loyal customer database, we will give notice of 30 days, then terminate any advertisement which continues to contravene the above.  At our discretion, we may permit an advertiser to return to our website following one default.  However, we reserve the right to impose a permanent ban on any such default.  No further communication will be entered into.

4.    An advertiser must pay our invoice in full within 30 days of the date of issue or within 30 days of expiry of their existing advertisement, whichever is later.  We reserve the right to remove any respective advertisement immediately if payment has not been received and cleared in full within the stipulated time.  We supply a stamped and addressed envelope for payments with our invoice and therefore do NOT send reminders for late payments.  We also reserve the right to charge an administration fee of £15 to re-instate an advertisement that has previously been removed due to non payment and cannot guarantee its original positioning on the appropriate page.

5.    Up to two minor changes to an existing advertisement, requiring simple text or image changes, are permitted per year free of charge.  Major text alterations or image changes requiring software processing will be subject to a £15 charge.

6.    All advertisements become due for renewal on 31st December of each year irrespective of when they were placed, unless stated otherwise on our invoice.

7.    Invoicing for part of a year applies to new customers only.  Existing or past customers will be invoiced the cost for a full year (to expire on 31st December), irrespective of the date when they renew or re-apply for an advertisement.

8.    We will not accept advertisements from customers whose websites contain any derogatory statements.  Neither will we accept advertisements from customers whose websites link to any websites containing derogatory statements or where that linked website could be detrimental to our website or any of our other customers.

9.    It is the advertiser’s responsibility to check the accuracy of published information on our website and to inform us of any errors or omissions.  Although we will endeavour to avoid mistakes, they can happen and we cannot accept responsibility for any such errors or omissions.

10.    We will endeavour to correct any mistakes as soon as possible after notification (usually within 10 days).  However, under extreme conditions, updates can take up to 30 days.

11.    We will not be held liable for any loss, either financial or otherwise regarding the inclusion or exclusion of an advertisement on this website.

12.    At our discretion, a refund may be given for default of the above terms which lead to removal of an advertisement, not exceeding the complete unused months of paid advertising, less an amount to cover our administration costs.  However, we reserve the right not to accept further advertisements from customers who have knowingly defaulted on our Advertising Terms and Conditions.

13.    We currently offer advertising, at no additional cost, on our other websites for West Bay: www.west-bay.co.uk and www.westbaydorset.co.uk.  We reserve the right to withdraw this facility at any time.

Please note that we reserve the right to modify our Advertising Terms and Conditions at any time.
