With the receipt of the advertisement booking a legally valid contract is created. The Publisher reserves the right to reject advertisement bookings due to their content, origin or technical form according to the Publisher's uniform principles if their content violates laws or official regulations or if their publication is unreasonable for the Publisher. The refusal of an order will be communicated to the client without delay.
3. Advertisement Creation
The design of an editorial advertisement in the above-mentioned media is carried out by the Publisher or his service provider. The Client will receive a briefing from the Publisher for the compilation of the required data and information. The Client shall send the Publisher texts, printable photos and logos adapted to the booked page size for the editorial advertisement until the copy deadline. The Client is obliged to provide exclusively such data which he himself has written or commissioned from a third party. The Client shall provide the Publisher with the relevant copyright information insofar as the Client is obliged to have it reproduced. The Client shall be responsible for the timely delivery of the advertisement text and faultless print documents. The Publisher shall send the Client the designed advertisement in digital form for printing approval.
