Term & Conditions for Advertising:

Advertisements are only accepted for publication in TOT magazine subject to the following conditions:

1. COSA Communications, the owner and publisher of TOT magazine, reserves the right to withhold or cancel publication of any advertisement order that has been accepted. No liability is accepted by COSA Communications for losses arising from failure to publish, omission, or for publication on dates other than those stipulated by the advertiser, or for any typographical errors or mistakes of any kind.
   
2. Every precaution will be taken to ensure the correct printing and insertion of all advertisements, but no liability will be accepted for any colour-matching or content errors that may occur. The onus is solely on the advertiser to ensure that material is supplied in the correct format. Material will be stored for a maximum of 12 months.
   
3. Telephonic instructions must always be confirmed in writing.
   
4. Booking deadlines stipulated are also cancellation deadlines. A cancellation fee of 50% of the advertising rate will be charged for cancellations received after the cancellation deadlines.
   
5. No changes to advertisements will be accepted once production of TOT magazine has commenced. Furthermore, no extensions will be granted for delivery of material. If material arrives after the stipulated deadline and too late for inclusion in the magazine, the full rate will be charged.
   
6. TOT magazine will not accept advertisements subject to editorial coverage being given to the product being advertised or subject to special positions. This does not apply to special or premium contractual positions.
   
7. Advertising space in TOT magazine may not be used for attacking or making negative comparisons with other advertisers, firms, persons or institutions.
   
8. TOT magazine reserves the right to edit, revise or reject, even after acceptance for publication, any advertisement the publication finds untruthful, misleading, or unsuitable for any other reason.
   
9. TOT magazine reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of editions published and quantity of magazines printed on a monthly basis without notice. Furthermore, the publisher does not guarantee any given level of circulation or readership for all forms of advertisements in TOT.
   
10. Should an advertiser place an advertisement requiring money or stamps to be sent to a box number, the full name and address of the advertiser must be included in the advertisement.
    
11. When new advertising rates are announced, contract advertisers can maintain their contract rates for 45 calendar days after the announcement of the new rate. Thereafter, the balance of the order will be subject to the new rate. The advertiser may cancel the contract on the day the new or higher rate becomes effective by providing TOT with 14 calendar days' notice, unless a rate increase has been stipulated in the contract.
    
12. Accounts will be rendered monthly and are payable within 30 days from the statement date. Outstanding amounts will be charged interest at the prime rate stipulated by the publisher's bankers. Should the publisher incur collection costs, these will be for the advertiser's account. Payment that is received from agencies later than 45 days from the statement date will not qualify for the 16.5% agency settlement discount.

15. The publisher reserves the right to reject any creative material that resembles the design, layout and editorial style of the magazine.
