What constitutes a contractual agreement?
As the services to be rendered and terms is already described in detail on a Quote/proposal or Confirmation of Order with possible attachments, the Confirmation of Order also constitutes the contractual agreement between our parties in conjunction with these general terms. So in lieu of having to also sign, scan and email an accepted proposal or confirmations back to us, we consider it an acceptance if you:
- State by email that you accept a received quote or proposal.
- Do not contest a Confirmation of Order
Reservations and Deadlines
All customers must make a reservation to place an ad by the appropriate deadline. An accepted or non-contested Confirmation of Order constitutes a reservation. Completed artwork and materials must then be received by the copy deadline. In case of late delivery, X-RAY MAG reserves the right to utilize the allocated space for other purposes. All charges will still apply and no refunds will be given. Confirmations of Order state payment information and pay by latest date, which is usually 10 days after publication for companies billable within the European Union (EU). For clients residing outside the European Union payment is due at the stated reservation deadline prior to publication . A final invoice or receipt for your ad will be sent to you upon publication. X-RAY MAG and its affiliates are not responsible for lost or damaged materials, late deliveries or loss or damages resulting from electronic transfer or communications.
Discounts
Discounts in the package deal are based on the number of issues in which you advertise in a 6 or 12-month period. Insertion breaks for ads booked 'a la carte' are earned at four-time and eight-time levels. Frequency rates are allowed in advance only with signed contracts listing specific issues and received by the first closing date. Otherwise, frequency rates are allowed as earned. Rebates will be made to advertisers who were billed at one-issue rates and who later earn frequency discounts during a 12-month period. Super-combos, *menu packages' and other non-prepaid subscription based advertising packages will automatically be extended at the end of the initial contract period unless otherwise cancelled no later than 40 days before end of period.
Cancellations & Refunds
Cancellations must be made no later than 45 days before publication date Advertisers who cancel their contract before it is complete will be short-rated at the rate earned and will be responsible for incurred costs. Note Super-combo packages, discounted offers and other non prepaid subscription-based advertising packages are offered at discounted rates because they are binding and cannot be cancelled early.
Invoicing & Late Fees
Invoices are usually rendered in the month preceding publication. New advertisers must pay in full for initial ad with order. Finance charges for invoices outstanding beyond 30 days: €30 / US$40 plus 2% per month of outstanding amount. Please note that In case of late payments, any discounts will also be annulled.
Deposits & Prepayment
For first time customers we ask for a 40% deposit which is due by reservation. For customers residing outside the European Union prepayment is always required.
No Checks please
