into each Advertising Order, software purchase, sponsorship and other internet
marketing services taken by users on the International Media Network and accepted
by the company:
1. Commencement of Service
1.1. The client expressly
agrees to the terms and conditions by filling and submitting the Advertising
order. Unless otherwise stated in writing and agreed between the parties, the
online advertising form is the accepted method of submitting an advertising
order. Any registration or edit request through the online advertising request
forms will be treated as an advertising order under the terms of this agreement.
Before using the site or filling the online form, it is the sole responsibility
of the Client to read relevant information and to familiarise with the service
terms and conditions.
1.2. These Advertising
Terms and Conditions shall commence at the date of the Advertising Order and
subject to clause 8 below shall remain in full force for an initial advertising
period of one year and thereafter renewable in the manner set out in clause
9.
2. Licence

and brand features contained therein) in accordance with the [Advertising Order]
and these Advertising Terms and Conditions.
2.2 Client grants to the
International Media Network the express right to reproduce throughout the world
screen shots of all or part of any International Media Network property containing
all or part of any of the advertising materials supplied by the Client to the
International Media Network on or in any promotional or advertising material
or campaign promoting or advertising International Media Network (but not any
promotional or advertising campaign paid for by the company).
3. Positioning,
Assignment and Resale
3.1 Except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Advertising Order, positioning of advertisements within
the International Media Network properties or on any page is at the sole discretion
of the International Media Network, and the International Media Network will
not be prohibited from also carrying advertisements for any product or business
competitive to the product or business of the Client.
3.2 The International Media
Network does not warrant the date or dates of insertion of the advertisement(s)
and does not warrant that the advertisement(s) will not be displayed after the
end date specified. However, the International Media Network will use reasonable
efforts to comply with the Client's wishes in these regards.
3.3 The parties may not
resell, assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder, except to any of its
subsidiary or holding companies (as defined in section 736 of the Companies
Act 1985) provided that such subsidiary or holding companies are not competitors
of the other party. Any attempt to resell, assign or transfer such rights will
entitle the other party to terminate this contract immediately, without liability
on the part of the terminating party.
4. Method of Payment
4.1 The Client (as defined
in the Advertising Order) will be expected to pay the advertising fee immediately
after registration using the advertising form provided. Failure of the payment
process or non-completion of the registration process does not in any way mean
that the advertising fee is not due. If in doubt, the Client must contact the
International Media Network Admin. If payment is not made online, the company
reserves the right to forward an invoice and payment request for the advertising
fee (subject to all consumer agreement laws of the United Kingdom). The Client
must pay the invoiced amounts to the International Media Network in pounds sterling
on receipt of the invoice. Payment is expected with all advertising orders submitted
directly through the International Media Network.

The Client must pay at the rates prescribed by applicable law all VAT (and all
similar sales tax (if applicable)) on the amounts due under this Advertising
Order. All amounts paid by the Client after the due date will bear interest
at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (or the highest rate permitted by
law, if less) above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank Plc, from the date when
payment was due until the date of payment is received, whether before or after
judgment. If the Client fails to pay, the Client will be responsible for all
expenses (including legal fees) incurred by The International Media Network
in collecting the amounts due.
4.3 The Client represents
and warrants that it contracts with The International Media Network as principal,
and has the authority to do so, notwithstanding that the Client may be acting
as an advertising agency or media buyer or in some other representative capacity.

Media Network fails to publish any advertisement as provided in the Advertising
Order (or in the event of any other failure, technical or otherwise, of such
advertisement to appear as provided in the [Advertising Order]), The International
Media Network's liability will be limited (at the option of The International
Media Network) to either:

in the period following the period during which the advertisement was scheduled
to run and for such time; or
(b) refund to the Client
that proportion of the amounts paid which relate to those advertisements which
were not provided, and if the relevant amounts were not paid by the Client,
agree that such amounts will not be due or payable.

otherwise, for:

a timely manner or at all any advertisement in accordance with the Advertising
Order.

a third party server to serve advertisements to The International Media Network:

Network will have no liability and the Client will hold only the third party
server (and not The International Media Network) liable for the failure to publish
any advertisement as provided in the Advertising Order or any other loss of
any kind suffered by the Client where those failures or losses are due to or
arise out of or in connection with any act or omission of the third party server;
and
(ii) The International
Media Network reserves the right to terminate at the International Media Network's
sole discretion the right of the third party server to serve the Client's advertisements
to the International Media Network's network. In the event of such termination,

foregoing, the International Media Network will have no liability for any failure
or delay resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood, insurrection,
earthquake, power failure, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or
illegal, labour or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind,
work slowdown or any other condition beyond the control of the International
Media Network affecting production or delivery in any manner.
5.5
Each of the provisions of this clause 4 are to be construed separately and independently
of the other, and if any provision of this clause 4 (or any other clause herein)
is found by any court or other judicial body of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision
will not affect the other provisions of this clause 5 (or any other clause herein)
which will remain in full force and effect.
