- RPL shall be indemnified by the Advertiser in respect of any claims, costs and expenses arising out of any libellous matter or any infringement of copyright, patent, design or of any other proprietary or personal rights contained in any material published for the Advertiser. The indemnity shall extend to any legal fees incurred by RPL and any amounts paid to lawyers and advisors in settlement of any claim.
- The Advertiser is solely responsible to submit to RPL ‘suitable copy’ by the due date failing which RPL reserves the right to reproduce material already held and RPL will not be responsible for any mistake, error or omission.

- Bona-fide Advertising Agencies are granted a commission of 10%, as long as our invoices are settled within 30 days from date of invoice or date of publication, whichever is the earlier.
- For the purpose of these conditions, “Advertisers” shall refer to the Advertiser or his agent, whoever is the principal. “Advertisement” includes loose or other “inserts” where appropriate.
- RPL shall be under no liability if it shall be unable to carry out any provision of these terms and conditions for any reason beyond its control including (without limiting the foregoing) Acts of God, legislation, war, fire, flood, drought, failure of power supply, lock-out, strike or other action by employees in contemplation or furtherance of a dispute or owing to any inability to procure materials or services required for the performance of the contract. During the continuance of such a contingency, the Advertiser may by written notice to RPL elect to terminate the contract (at the sole discretion and consent of RPL) and pay for work done and materials used, but subject thereto shall otherwise accept publication when available.
- These terms and conditions are governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and subject to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.
