1. These terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to you every time you:

(a)    request placement of advertising (whether directly with us or through an intermediary including programmatically) on any Digital Media owned or operated by Seven Network (Operations) Limited ABN 65 052 845 262 or its related bodies corporate, including West Australian Newspapers Limited (collectively “SWM”); and/ or

(b)    request provision of creative, production and/ or distribution services with respect to such advertising; and/ or

(c)    request to or offer to supply SWM with product samples to be distributed to visitors of Digital Media.

2. “Digital Media” refers to any digital media published, distributed or communicated by SWM or its subsidiaries including but not limited to websites and apps owned and operated by SWM as well as social media channels operated by SWM and third party inventory sold by SWM as reseller. “Advertisement” includes all forms of digital advertising including but not limited to display ads, video ads, sponsored social posts, pop-ups, advertorials and native advertising, and unless the context dictates otherwise, includes advertising supplied by you or created on your behalf by SWM.

3. These Terms are in addition to our standard terms and conditions regarding broadcast and print advertising (if applicable) and any additional special trading terms and conditions agreed directly between SWM and you/your agency (“Trading Terms”), if applicable.  To the extent of any inconsistency between these Terms and any Trading Terms, the Trading Terms will prevail.

4. If you are booking and purchasing SWM Digital Media programmatically through a third party, these Terms still apply to you unless specifically noted otherwise.

To become a customer for the purpose of these Terms (whether you are a client booking directly, or an intermediary/ agency), unless you are paying SWM in advance, you must complete and return to SWM the credit application forms established and identified by SWM for that purpose.  SWM shall thereafter grant and maintain credit facilities at its sole discretion.

 1.  You can request advertising or services in any Digital Media owned or operated by SWM at any time directly with SWM or agents approved by SWM.

2.  SWM will make a proposal to you regarding your request by sending you a proposal or Media Schedule for your approval.

3.  If you approve the proposal or Media Schedule, SWM will send you an Insertion Order which will apply to the distribution of your advertising and which you must agree and return to SWM in order to confirm your booking.

 1.  SWM can reject or withdraw advertising, whether bought direct or programmatically, at any time if it reasonably believes you are in breach of these Terms or your proposed Advertisement is in breach of these Terms. SWM is not liable to you if it rejects or withdraws your advertising.

2.  Advertisements must be supplied as per agreed deadline at time of booking. All Advertisements (other than those booked programmatically) are subject to approval to ensure the material complies with guidelines. This deadline allows you time to amend your Advertisement if it does not comply with industry standards.

3.  In the event SWM believes, acting reasonably, that a breaking news or other event renders the publication or placement of your booked advertising unsuitable or inappropriate from an editorial perspective, SWM may move or withhold the placement of your advertising without your prior approval.

 1.  You must deliver your Advertisement(s) to SWM by the date and in the format SWM specifies. If you do not, this may result in lost value proportionate to the late delivery, which will not be compensated by SWM nor result in make good being offered by SWM.

2.  Your Advertisement(s) must be in the format and specification that SWM requires for it to be published. If you do not deliver your Advertisement(s) in the required form, you will be liable for all costs incurred in converting the Advertisement into an appropriate form or deviations from launch dates.

3.  Date changes after the Insertion Order is signed and returned to SWM are not permitted unless agreed in writing in advance with SWM.

1.  The Insertion Order contains the amount you have to pay for the advertising fee (“Fee”). SWM will provide you with an invoice stating the Fee and any tax payable under clause 5.8.

2.  You must pay the Fee within the terms set by SWM. You cannot alter the Fee, even if you feel that the advertising was not placed or distributed in the manner that you expected.

3.  If you dispute the Fee, this claim must be made within 30 days of the invoice date to SWM otherwise you must pay the Fee as invoiced.

4.  You must pay the Fee electronically in clear funds to the account nominated in the relevant Media Schedule or by such other method as agreed by SWM.

5.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees are:

a) invoiced at the end of each month included in the Media Schedule;

b) payable within 30 days of invoice; and

c) payable in monthly instalments across the campaign.

6.  SWM may charge interest at a rate of 8% per month if fees remain outstanding 90 days after the date of invoice.

7.  All fees are exclusive of GST and other taxes. You are responsible for GST and all applicable taxes levied on the fees payable under an Insertion Order. Such amounts are in addition to the payment for the Media Schedule contained within the Insertion Order and will be added to any invoice.

Agency Commission

8.  If you are an advertising agent, SWM may agree that you will get a commission on the Fee, but the commission will only apply if you pay the Fee (less the commission, plus the GST payable) before the invoice due date. If you don’t pay the Fee (less the commission) by that date, you cannot claim the commission – you must pay the Fee and the GST payable.

1.  If you require services with respect to the creation of the advertising you intend to place on Digital Media owned or operated by SWM (such services which may include design/ creation or production of digital content), you may submit such request to SWM and SWM will provide you with a quote to perform such services.  If you accept such quote, you will be required to pay the agreed fees within 30 days of receipt of invoice from SWM, and must otherwise comply with any briefing and cancellation requirements notified to you in writing by SWM from time to time.

2.  Without limiting clause 6.1, you must provide SWM with all information, materials, product and/ or packaging samples (as applicable) SWM reasonably requires to fulfil the digital services brief (“Client Material”), and by the deadlines stipulated by SWM.

3.  Subject to clause 6.4, where SWM creates, develops and/ or produces an Advertisement for you (“SWM-created Advertisement”), all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in the SWM-created Advertisement will be owned by SWM.

4.  SWM will not own any intellectual property rights in any Client Material but you will procure for SWM the right to use the Client Material for the purposes of performing the digital services and as required by SWM for the use of any of the SWM-created Advertisement in SWM’s promotional activities.

5.  SWM grants you the right to have the SWM-created Advertisement published in Australia in accordance with the proposal or Media Schedule approved pursuant to clause 2.4.   All other rights with respect to the SWM-created Advertisement are reserved to SWM and any other proposed use or publication of the SWM-created Advertisement must be approved by SWM in writing and will be subject to negotiation.  You may not reproduce or modify the SWM-created Advertisement without the prior written approval of SWM, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

SWM may invite you and/ or you may offer from time to time to include your products (without any minimum commitment by SWM) in a sample offering to visitors of Digital Media (“SWM Sample Offering”) in conjunction with your purchase of advertising on Digital Media, in which case the terms at Annexure B will apply in addition to these Terms.

1.  If you cancel advertising before the relevant Cancellation Deadline below, you will not have to pay the Fee, except for any costs already incurred by SWM with respect to the campaign (including any content production costs). Cancellation Deadlines are as follows:

• • Digital display and section sponsorships – 6 weeks before campaign start date.

3.  Any proposed changes to an Insertion Order must be mutually agreed in writing.

4.  If you cancel after the Cancellation Deadline but more than 14 days before the start date of the campaign, SWM may, in its absolute discretion, provide you with a delete and charge credit equal to the amount of the Fee. The delete and charge credit will not take effect until you have paid the Fee in full (and any applicable content production costs), and is subject to the following additional conditions: (a) unless otherwise agreed with SWM in writing, it expires 3 months after the cancellation date of the relevant advertising; (ii) it cannot be exchanged for a refund or other payment; (iii) it can only be used by you (or, if you are an agency, by the client whose advertising was cancelled) and must not be on-sold or sub-licensed under any circumstances; (iv) it will be provided at SWM’s discretion and subject to availability; and (v) any guarantees as to positioning and any ‘value add’ elements applicable to the original booking will cease to apply.

You accept that the ad server report or other measurement provided by SWM are the official, definitive measurements of SWM’s delivery of the Media Schedule. You acknowledge that there may be a discrepancy of up to 10% between SWM’s and Your ad server measurements, and that SWM’s ad server measurements shall take precedence. If SWM’s ad server measurements are higher than those produced by Your ad server by more than 10% over the invoice period, You agree to work together with SWM in good faith, providing reasonable technical resources and log files, to investigate and resolve such discrepancy.

Added value / bonus advertising is still governed by these Terms, however SWM reserves the right to change the date(s) of added value/bonus advertising in its absolute discretion so long as it appears during the specified campaign period.

If we are unable to deliver per an Insertion Order and we provide credit, the credit must be used by the deadline stipulated in the Credit Note.

You acknowledge and agree that SWM owns the data (whether personal information (as defined by applicable privacy laws) or not) collected from and about visitors to SWM Digital Media and to whom Advertisements are published on such Digital media. Third Party Tags are allowed on Digital Media for the purposes of creative delivery and 3^rd party campaign performance tracking but are not permitted to gather user data.

2.  SWM will not be liable to you or any other person for any loss of whatever kind suffered as a result of an advertisement not being available for distribution or not being distributed where such event arises from any cause beyond SWM’s reasonable control.

1.  These Terms are governed by the laws in force in New South Wales, Australia.

2.  You may not assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms to any other person without SWM’s consent. SWM may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without your consent.

3.  If SWM fails to enforce, or delays in enforcing, any of these Terms, this will not operate as a waiver and will not affect SWM’s right to later require strict compliance with these Terms.

4.  The Terms of the Media Schedule and this agreement record the entire agreement between you and SWM relating to the matters dealt with in this agreement and supersede all previous arrangements, understandings or representations, whether written, oral or both, relating to these matters.
