We will assume the person signing an order has your authority to place the order. We reserve the right not to accept any order. We need to receive your Advertising Contract Order before the publication deadline for our Printed Directory which is 26 March of each year ("Publication Deadline" also known as the "Rate Card Close Date") but your Advertising Contract Orders for our Electronic Directory can be made at any time.

We may send you a schedule indicating acceptance of your Advertising Contract Order ("Advertising Schedule"). The Advertising Schedule may contain an artwork proof for you to check whether you want any minor adjustments made. You must advise us in writing (so we know the request is authorised) of any requested adjustments within 7 working days after we send you the proof and we will make the adjustments if practicable. Our rights under clause 8 still apply. Any changes to the artwork must reach us by the Publication Deadline. If you do not contact us within the said 7 working days we shall be entitled to assume that the proofs are correct, that you have no changes and you authorize us to publish the artwork as is.

If you provide us with material to reproduce in an advertisement, the quality of the reproduction will always be determined by the quality of the material provided. Generally a copy is inferior to an original, so we recommend that you provide a professionally created original to our specifications. We can help by creating advertising material for you. When we do this, you agree that we will own the copyright in whatever is produced.

4. Our General Rights And Responsibilities

We agree to:

  • I understand that my display advertisement may have color shift. Meaning the finished ad in the print directory could look darker or lighter due to variance in the computer monitor settings, printing proof variations, printer inks, printing paper and any other manufacturing variables in the finished printed phone directory product.
  • respond promptly to your enquiries;
  • provide our Advertising Services as set out in the Advertising Schedule we send you;
  • do our best to keep you informed about the features of our Advertising Services as we introduce or improve them;
  • provide clear explanations of our charges and billing procedures;
  • continue to promote our Directories to encourage people to use them.

5. Your General Responsibilities

5.1 So that we can meet our responsibilities, you in turn agree to:

  • provide all Advertising, listings and any other material we require from you promptly, and always by the last date we nominate;
  • make sure all Advertising, listings and any other material you provide to us is complete and accurate and meets any other quality or procedural requirements we notify you about from time to time;
  • comply with the Copyright Act 2004 as amended and all other applicable laws and any relevant Advertising Codes of Practice;
  • never make inappropriate use of information provided to you by Directory users (e.g. for unauthorized direct marketing) or breach anyone's legal rights (e.g. intellectual property rights, contractual rights or rights to privacy).

5.2 You must compensate us for any loss we suffer, and indemnify us against any liability we incur, resulting from the provision of Advertising Services for you, or you not meeting your legal responsibilities to any of us or to anyone else.

6. Automatic Renewal

The Advertising and/or Listing as ordered by you will continue indefinitely in both our Electronic Directory and Printed Directory (as updated periodically), unless you cancel it in accordance with clause 7 below. Our charge for any Advertising Services in the subsequent years following the initial period may be different at our sole discretion from the previous year's charge and until you cancel your Advertising and/or Listing, we will bill you annually at our then current rate.

7. Canceling Your Advertising Contract Order, Or Our Advertising Services

You may cancel any Advertising Contract Order, or any existing printed Listing and/or Advertising, so long as you do so in writing within 30 days from the date that the specific Advertising Contract Order is signed ("Cancellation Date"). We may charge you for any creative work we have already done at your request up to the date we receive your written notice of cancellation. However if the advertiser has signed a contract in the 30 days before the close date of the current sales campaign the cancellation policy is Null and Void.

Any cancellation notice we receive after the Cancellation Date for a Printed Directory or in the current sales campaign (even if we receive it before the publishing deadline) will not take effect for the next Directory but will take effect for the subsequent Directory.

We will normally send you a new Advertising Contract Order form with your existing details already set out, as a reminder.

You may cancel an existing Electronic Directory listing and/or advertisement by giving us written cancellation notice at any time. We will delete it as soon as is reasonably practicable. Any separate charge for the Electronic Directory listing and/or advertisement will stop from the end of the billing month in which we receive the written cancellation notice.

8. Paying For Our Advertising Services

You must pay our charges for the Advertising Services we provide for you, regardless of whether your business has been sold or closed before we provide them. The charges for our Advertising Services are due and payable within 30 days of the date of our invoice. Charges for Advertising Services provided in any Printed Directory may be billed annually or in periodic installments. Our charges for Advertising Services only provided in any Electronic Directory are calculated and billed monthly. If you have booked your Advertising through an agent you will be liable to us for those advertising charges if the agent does not pay for any reason (even if you have already paid the agent).

If you do not pay our charges by the due date shown on the account:

  • we reserve the right to remove all of your listings from our Directories without any compensation to you and without in any way affecting your debt to us;
  • we may charge you interest on the unpaid amount from that date until you pay it at the interest rate 1.5% per month;
  • if our charges remain unpaid after 60 days of the invoice date we may place your debt in the hands of a debt collection agency; and
  • you agree to pay for all costs associated with the recovery of any outstanding payments owed to us that are incurred by anyone (including but not limited to legal, agents and/or debt collectors) in exercising any of our rights under these Terms.

9. Long Term Agreements

We may allow you a reduction for Advertising Services we provide for you in consideration of you purchasing those services over a term greater than one year ("Long Term Agreement"). If you cancel any Long Term Agreement with us then the full amount of the Advertising Services without any reduction becomes payable immediately.

10. Our Right To Withhold, Suspend, Restrict Or Terminate Services

We reserve the right to withdraw or terminate any Advertising Services at any time, including but not limited to us withdrawing any of our Directories or redefining the distribution area covered by our Printed Directory. Some types of Advertising Services such as web site banners and headlines are suitable only for our Electronic Directory. We may also withhold, suspend, restrict or terminate any Advertising Services at any time if you do not meet a responsibility of yours under these Terms or we consider your Advertising Contract Order is unauthorised.

We may edit or refuse to publish any Advertising, Listings or any other material at any time if we consider it to be unauthorised, in breach of our advertising policy, misleading, offensive, defamatory, illegal or detrimental to the standing of our Directories in the community. We will try to contact you before doing any of these things but we are under no obligation to do so.

We do not guarantee any particular placement of advertisements on any page in any Directory. We place all advertisements randomly under each classified heading, or as close as possible to the heading you have requested. In the event that an advertisement is placed on a page of any Printed Directory, an anchor listing will be placed beneath your business listing indicating the location of the advertisement.

We do not agree that any service we provide will be continuous or fault-free and we may suspend or restrict any electronic Advertising Services at any time if we think it reasonable or necessary. Normal charges continue to apply during any suspension or restriction.

11. Your Dealings With Other Directory Users

We may include our trade marks and copyright notices in all Directories in which we publish your listings and advertisements. This does not mean we endorse you or your products or services. We are not your agent and are not involved, on behalf of either you or Directory users, in any dealings resulting from use of our Directories. You must communicate and deal with users directly to complete transactions or resolve any problems arising from them. You have sole responsibility for any risks associated with your dealings with users.

12. Accidental Errors

We do not accept responsibility for accidental errors, omissions, misplacements or other irregularities in listings or the Directories' contents, or for any loss incurred thereby.

13. Resolving Disputes

If you think that we have not met a responsibility we have to you, you must give us notice in writing. You must give us this notice within 60 days after publication (first distribution of the Directory in question to the public) containing your listing and/or advertisement ("Credit Period"). After the expiration of the Credit Period, we will not accept any claim or claim for credit from you.

If we find that we have not met any responsibility we have to you, we will discuss with you the various ways we can help you. We may give you either a credit to your account with us for an amount we think is appropriate in our sole discretion or, at our option, non-monetary assistance. The credit or alternative non-monetary assistance is available only once for mistakes relating to a particular listing or advertisement and its value is limited to a maximum of our charge to you for providing the particular Advertising Services and is in full satisfaction of any claim you may have against us.

If an error should occur in any display advertising in our Printed Directory, we will consider giving you a credit at our discretion, according to the following schedule:

  • Wrong main telephone number - 100%
  • Wrong alternate telephone number - 15%
  • Wrong address - up to 25%
  • Incorrect spelling of a business name - up to 25%
  • Incorrect spelling of a word - NONE

No credit is available for any free listing or advertisement as you did not pay for them.

No credit is available for Electronic Directory mistakes, as we can fix those promptly.

If, after discussing the issue with you, we consider that we have met our responsibilities, we will explain in writing why we consider this is so. You must still pay any outstanding charges by the due date.

14. Exclusion of Liability

We have already set out your rights to compensation if we do not meet our responsibilities to you. We now exclude all other liability we may have to you.

OUTDOOR AND VENUE ADVERTISING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Our Advertising Services

Our Terms and Conditions of Business ("Terms") apply when we provide Advertising Services (as defined below). In these terms, we have used "we" or "our" for Bermuda Yellow Pages Limited, "you" for our advertising customer, "Advertising" for any advertising you submit to us (whether or not we have assisted in producing, or produced the advertising), "Advertising Services" for everything we do in connection with placing your advertising, "Site" for the place that your Advertising is to be installed, "Site Affiliate" for any person or organization officially attached to the venue or site and involved in the Advertising Services, "Sign Maker" for any person or organization specified by us to produce the signage, "Signage" for the finished product, either installed or otherwise.

2. Outdoor and Venue Advertising

We sell outdoor and venue Advertising on behalf of the Site Affiliates. All pricing is set and governed by the Site Affiliates.  We will provide all design files and sign specifications required to produce the Signage to the Sign Maker at no additional cost.  However, the Advertising cost does not include the cost of producing the Signage itself. This is paid separately and directly to the Sign Maker, and separate Terms and Conditions set by the Sign Maker are applicable. In consideration of your payment of our fees, we will instruct the Site Affiliates to install your finished Signage in the most prominent space available within the agreed-upon and specified location on a first-come, first-serve basis; Signage will not be installed without prior full payment. Site usage and eyeball analytics will be shared with you on an annual basis.

3. Ordering Advertising Services

We will require a signed, written order from you ("Advertising Contract Order") and full payment, to be received immediately upon signing the Advertising Contract Order before we will provide any Advertising Services. We will assume the person signing an order has your authority to place the order. We reserve the right not to accept any order.  The initial term of an outdoor and venue Advertising Contract Order is 3 years, after which your Advertising Contract Order will renew each year on an automatic and recurring basis (as detailed in clause 6); cancelation requests must be received after the initial term and with 30-days' prior written notice, (or as detailed in clause 7).  The Site for the Signage is specified on the Advertising Contract Order and is transferrable to a different site only after the initial term has concluded, and only then at the time of renewal, with 30-days' prior written notice.

We may send you a schedule indicating acceptance of your Advertising Contract Order ("Advertising Schedule"). The Advertising Schedule may contain an artwork proof for you to check whether you want any minor adjustments made. You must advise us in writing (so we know the request is authorised) of any requested adjustments within 7 working days after we send you the proof and we will make the adjustments if practicable. Our rights under clause 8 still apply. Any changes to the artwork must reach us before the files are sent to the Sign Maker. If you do not contact us within the said 7 working days we shall be entitled to assume that the proofs are correct, that you have no changes, and that you authorize us to provide the Sign Maker with the artwork as is.

If you provide us with material to reproduce in an advertisement, the quality of the reproduction will always be determined by the quality of the material provided. Generally a copy is inferior to an original, so we recommend that you provide a professionally created original to our specifications. We can help by creating advertising material for you. When we do this, you agree that we will own the copyright in whatever is produced.

4. Our General Rights And Responsibilities

We agree to:

  • Respond promptly to your enquiries;
  • Provide our Advertising Services as set out in the Advertising Schedule we send you;
  • Do our best to keep you informed about the features of our Advertising Services as we introduce or improve them;
  • Provide clear explanations of our charges and billing procedures

5. Your General Responsibilities

5.1 So that we can meet our responsibilities, you in turn agree to:

  • Understand that your display advertisement may have color shift. Meaning the finished ad on the sign could look darker or lighter due to variance in the computer monitor settings, printing proof variations, printer inks, and any other manufacturing variables in the finished Signage product.
  • Provide all Advertising and any other material we require from you promptly, and always by the last date we nominate;
  • Make sure all Advertising and any other material you provide to us is complete and accurate and meets any other quality or procedural requirements we notify you about from time to time;
  • Comply with the Copyright Act 2004 as amended and all other applicable laws and any relevant Advertising Codes of Practice;
  • Never make inappropriate use of information provided to you by Site users or breach anyone's legal rights (e.g. intellectual property rights, contractual rights or rights to privacy).

5.2 You must compensate us for any loss we suffer, and indemnify us against any liability we incur, resulting from the provision of Advertising Services for you, or you not meeting your legal responsibilities to any of us or to anyone else.

6. Automatic Renewal

The Advertising, as ordered by you, will continue indefinitely unless you cancel it in accordance with clause 7 below. Our charge for any Advertising Services in the subsequent years following the initial period may be different at our sole discretion from the previous year's charge and until you cancel your Advertising, we will bill you annually at our then current rate.

7. Canceling Your Advertising Contract Order, Or Our Advertising

Services

You may cancel any Advertising Contract Order so long as you do so in writing within 30 days from the date that the specific Advertising Contract Order is signed ("Cancellation Date"). We may charge you for any creative work we have already done at your request up to the date we receive your written notice of cancellation.  If by that time the Advertising Services have involved the Sign Maker, any charges incurred from the Sign Maker's services will be paid directly and separately to the Sign Maker; it is your responsibility to notify the Sign Maker of your request to stop work on the Signage.

8. Paying For Our Advertising Services

You must pay our charges for the Advertising Services we provide for you, regardless of whether your business has been sold or closed before we provide them. The charges for our Advertising Services are due and payable within 30 days of the date of our invoice. Charges for Advertising Services may be billed annually or in periodic installments.  If you have booked your Advertising through an agent you will be liable to us for those advertising charges if the agent does not pay for any reason (even if you have already paid the agent).

If you do not pay our charges by the due date shown on the account:

  • We may charge you interest on the unpaid amount from that date until you pay it at the interest rate 1.5% per month;
  • If our charges remain unpaid after 60 days of the invoice date we may place your debt in the hands of a debt collection agency; and
  • You agree to pay for all costs associated with the recovery of any outstanding payments owed to us that are incurred by anyone (including but not limited to legal, agents and/or debt collectors) in exercising any of our rights under these Terms.

9. Long Term Agreements

We may allow you a reduction for Advertising Services we provide for you in consideration of you purchasing those services over a term greater than three years ("Long Term Agreement"). If you cancel any Long Term Agreement with us then the full amount of the Advertising Services without any reduction becomes payable immediately.

10. Our Right To Withhold, Suspend, Restrict Or Terminate Services

We reserve the right to withdraw or terminate any Advertising Services at any time.  We may also withhold, suspend, restrict or terminate any Advertising Services at any time if you do not meet a responsibility of yours under these Terms or we consider your Advertising Contract Order is unauthorised.

We may edit or refuse any Advertising, or any other material at any time if we consider it to be unauthorised, in breach of our advertising policy, misleading, offensive, defamatory, illegal or detrimental to ours or the Site's standing in the community. We will try to contact you before doing any of these things but we are under no obligation to do so.

We do not guarantee any particular placement of advertisements at any Site. We place all advertisements on a first-come, first-serve basis, in the most prominent space available within the area you have requested.

We do not agree that any service we provide will be continuous or fault-free and we may suspend or restrict any Advertising Services at any time if we think it reasonable or necessary. Normal charges continue to apply during any suspension or restriction.

11. Accidental Errors

We do not accept responsibility for accidental errors, omissions, misplacements or other irregularities in Signage contents, or for any loss incurred thereby.

12. Resolving Disputes

If you think that we have not met a responsibility we have to you, you must give us notice in writing. You must give us this notice within 30 days after placement of the Advertising ("Credit Period"). After the expiration of the Credit Period, we will not accept any claim or claim for credit from you.

If we find that we have not met any responsibility we have to you, we will discuss with you the various ways we can help you. We may give you either a credit to your account with us for an amount we think is appropriate in our sole discretion or, at our option, non-monetary assistance. The credit or alternative non-monetary assistance is available only once for mistakes relating to a particular advertisement and its value is limited to a maximum of our charge to you for providing the particular Advertising Services and is in full satisfaction of any claim you may have against us.

If, after discussing the issue with you, we consider that we have met our responsibilities, we will explain in writing why we consider this is so. You must still pay any outstanding charges by the due date.

13. Exclusion of Liability

We have already set out your rights to compensation if we do not meet our responsibilities to you. We now exclude all other liability we may have to you.
