Also, if you would like any links in your ad to be clickable on the digital version of the magazine, please be sure to supply your ad in an 'unvectorised' (i.e. unflattened) state, so that the text within can be easily searched.

(i) We require first-time advertisers to pay in advance for their first ad.

(ii) Online ad invoices will be generated upon confirmation of booking, and payment will be required upon receipt of the invoice. Payment for print ads will also be required upon receipt of the invoice.

(iii) If a 'series deal' is taken, either in print or online, we will require all ads in the package to be taken within a 12-month period. This 12-month period begins when the first ad in the deal, either print or online, is taken.

(iv) Ad bookings and discounted series deals are not transferable.

(v) Position requests may be given at the time of booking and, while we do our utmost to accommodate them, unfortunately they cannot be guaranteed.
