What constitutes a contractual agreement?
As the services to be rendered and terms are 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.
In lieu of having to also sign, scan and email an accepted proposal or confirmation 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 the 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 (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 “All-inclusive packages” a.k.a "camping packages" are based on the number of issues in which you advertise in a 6 or 12-month period. Insertion breaks for ads booked “à la carte” are earned at four-time and eight-time levels.
Frequency rates are allowed in advance only with firmed contracts listing specific issues and received by the first closing date. Otherwise, frequency rates are allowed as earned.
Automatic Renewals
“All-inclusive packages,” “campaign 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. Receipt of cancellation notice must be confirmed by X-Ray Mag.
Cancellations & Refunds
Cancellations must be made in writing no later than 21 days before the next stated reservation 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 “All-inclusive packages,” campaign package deals, 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
Invoices are usually rendered in the month preceding publication. New advertisers must pay in full for the initial ad with order.
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/Cheques Please
We cannot cash them and the world has long since gone digital.
All payments can be subject to the bank’s enquiries according to Danish and International anti-money laundering and anti-terror finance regulations and the customer may be required to provide proof of identity.
Late fees and interest
Finance charges for invoices outstanding beyond 30 days: €30 / US$40 plus 1% per month of outstanding amount. Please note that in case of late payments, any discounts will also be annulled.
File Format
X-Ray Mag accepts only electronic files. PDFs are required for magazine ads, jpgs or gifs for banner ads as per published specifications.
Repeat Orders
When space is contracted for and no copy instructions are received by the closing date, the previous copy will be repeated.
It is also presumed that orders are for insertion for the first coming issue unless otherwise specified.
Put It In Writing
Any verbal instructions regarding contracts, insertion orders or changes to copy must be confirmed in writing.
Positioning
Positioning of ads is at the discretion of the Publisher unless requested placement is ordered and confirmed in writing.
Rate Changes
Announcements of any rate changes will be made at least 60 days in advance of the closing date of the first issue affected.
Ad Content
X-Ray Mag reserves the right to reject any advertisement deemed unsuitable.
Publisher Liability
Conditions appearing on the contract, order or copy that conflict with the Publisher’s policies will not be binding on the Publisher.
The Publisher’s liability for any error will not exceed the cost of the space. The Publisher assumes no liability for errors in key numbers, nor if for any reason it becomes necessary to omit an advertisement.
