    TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    3. Limitation of Liability: Mass Media will use best endeavours to ensure the Advertisements accurately reflect the approved material provided by the Advertiser. Mass Media will not however be responsible for any errors in the content, or the incorrect appearance, of any published Advertisements. Mass Media's maximum liability under any claim will not exceed the fees paid by the Advertiser for the Advertisement. Mass Media will correct any notified errors, for which they are responsible, as an immediate action priority and will be done so with maximum haste at no cost to the advertiser.

    Mass Media will guarantee that any links will be created as supplied by the advertiser, subject to Mass Media’s technical specifications. Mass Media will give priority commitment to allocating resources to the resolution or restoration of any link or material issues relating to the applicable site for which we are responsible.

    4. Right to refuse: Mass Media may at any time and without notice to the Advertiser cancel, reject or refuse to continue publishing any Advertisement without providing any reason for such rejection or refusal at any time prior to, or after, publication of the Advertisement. This right will not be unreasonably exercised.

    5. Consumer Guarantees Act: The guarantees contained in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are expressly excluded where the Advertiser acquires or holds itself out as acquiring goods or services from Mass Media for the purposes of a business. The provisions of that act do not apply to the goods or services provided under this Agreement or under any other written Agreement the Advertiser may have with Mass Media.

    6. Privacy Act: The Advertiser agrees that any personal information about Internet users that is obtained by Mass Media as a result of Internet users accessing Gymnation's content pages will only be made available to the Advertiser at Mass Media’s sole discretion, and only if to do so would not breach any of Gymnation's obligations to its users which are set out in any other Agreement.

    7. Force Majeure: Mass Media will not be liable to the Advertiser or any other person for any loss of whatever kind suffered as a result of the Advertisement not being available for publication where such event arises from any cause beyond its control.

    8. The Advertiser must -
    (a) make a booking application by providing Mass Media with all necessary details of the advertising campaign, including the campaign’s name or order number, commencement date, and duration. Approval of this application by Mass Media will serve as confirmation to the Advertiser of the booking of the Advertisement;
    (b) deliver to Mass Media the Advertisement intended for display on Gymnation by the Final Date for Creative, this being 7 days before the booking commences (unless by prior written arrangement).
