Terms & Conditions

Effective from 1 July 2026

The following terms and conditions are provided to give all customers full clarity, manage expectations and confirm the agreed levels of service and commitment. Please read them carefully and let us know if you have any questions.

1. Definitions

1.1 In these Terms and Conditions, the “Advertiser” means the party booking advertising space or any other service, together with any agent acting on its behalf, and the “Publisher” means AMR Nexus Ltd trading as SwadStyle, which publishes advertisements under various titles, including SwadStyle.

1.2 The “Advertisement” includes any form of promotion printed in or inserted into any of the Publisher’s titles; website advertising; online directory listings; social media promotions; other digital advertising products; sponsorship of an event; leaflet distribution; printing or design services; or any other function or service provided by the Publisher to the Advertiser for which the Publisher customarily receives payment.

1.3 The “Copy” means the artwork and content for the Advertisement, and the “Copy Date” means the date by which all artwork, content and instructions are due.

1.4 The “contract for services” means the booking accepted by the Publisher, as described in the applicable quotation, booking confirmation, invoice or other written communication.

2. Bookings and Obligations

2.1 These Terms and Conditions apply to all Advertisements and services accepted by the Publisher.

2.2 Advertising space and all services are offered subject to availability. A quotation, discussion or indication of availability does not constitute acceptance of a booking. A booking is confirmed only when it has been accepted by the Publisher in writing, including by email or by issuing a booking confirmation or invoice. By accepting a verbal or written quotation and proceeding with a booking, the Advertiser agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

2.3 All Advertisements are accepted subject to the Publisher’s approval of the Copy and the availability of advertising space. The Publisher may omit or reject an Advertisement at any time before publication if it does not conform to the Publisher’s standards of decency, taste or editorial policy, or to any applicable law, code or mandatory rule. The Publisher will notify the Advertiser as soon as reasonably possible. Unless clause 2.4 applies, the Publisher will repay sums paid in advance for the omitted Advertisement or set them off against sums due to the Publisher, and the Advertiser will have no further claim arising from the omission.

2.4 The Publisher may withdraw, suspend or refuse to publish any Advertisement at any time if it reasonably believes that the Advertisement is unlawful, misleading, defamatory, offensive, infringes another person’s rights, brings or may bring the Publisher into disrepute, conflicts with the Publisher’s editorial policies, or is otherwise unsuitable for publication. Where the withdrawal, suspension or refusal results from the Advertiser’s act, omission or breach of these Terms and Conditions, no refund shall be payable.

2.5 The Advertiser warrants that the Advertisement, including every image, logo, photograph, trade mark, clip art item and other element, does not contravene any relevant legislation or regulation, is not defamatory or otherwise unlawful, does not infringe the rights of any person, and complies with the current UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing, together with the codes, rulings, determinations and requirements of the Advertising Standards Authority and all laws applicable in the United Kingdom.

2.6 The Advertiser is responsible for obtaining all licences, consents and permissions necessary to use the content supplied for the Advertisement and must provide evidence of them if requested.

2.7 The Publisher will make reasonable efforts to place an Advertisement in a section relevant to the Advertiser, but gives no guarantee as to position, page number, section or adjacency to other content unless expressly agreed in writing. The Publisher has the final decision on placement without obtaining the Advertiser’s approval.

2.8 Any free listing is offered ex gratia. The Publisher may consider the Advertiser’s wishes but has the final decision whether to include the listing and as to its format, wording and position, without obtaining the Advertiser’s approval.

2.9 Publication is at the Publisher’s discretion. The Publisher may change a publication date without notice and without being in breach of contract.

3. Copy, Proofs and Property

3.1 The Advertiser must supply the proposed Copy and all instructions by the Copy Date. If they are not received by that date, the Publisher may treat the Advertiser as having cancelled, insert a previously submitted Advertisement if held, or create an Advertisement using the information reasonably available to it. If Copy is not supplied in the required mechanical or digital format and additional production work is needed, the Publisher may charge the reasonable cost of that work.

3.2 The Publisher accepts no responsibility for errors in materials or information supplied by the Advertiser. The full price remains payable, and the Publisher shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss, expense or third-party liability arising from such materials or information.

3.3 If Copy is received after the Copy Date and the Publisher elects to place it, the Publisher cannot guarantee that a proof will be supplied or that corrections can be made.

3.4 Advertisements supplied as JPEG, PDF or another pre-prepared format will be treated as approved and ready to publish. They may be resized to fit the agreed advertising space.

3.5 Where the Advertiser asks the Publisher to design the Advertisement, the Advertiser must provide accurate and complete business information and all required content by the Copy Date.

3.6 Advertisements, logos, images and photographs should be supplied at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. The Publisher accepts no responsibility for the print quality of lower-resolution material. Exact colour matching cannot be guaranteed because of variations in screens, proofing and printing. Colours shown on digital proofs may differ from the final printed publication, including as a result of conversion to and reproduction through the CMYK printing process. Bookings are accepted on this basis.

3.7 The Publisher will take reasonable care to avoid mistakes but is not liable for errors resulting from the acts, omissions or defaults of third parties or subcontractors, inaccurate Copy or instructions, or circumstances beyond its reasonable control. The Publisher is not liable for an error in an Advertisement unless a proof was returned with clear corrections in sufficient time before the publication went to press.

3.8 Proofs will be supplied only where requested by the Advertiser in writing, or where the Publisher has designed the Advertisement, and where sufficient time remains without delaying publication. Amendments must be notified within 24 hours after the proof is sent. If no amendments are received within that period, the proof will be treated as approved.

3.9 Approval of a final proof confirms the Advertiser’s acceptance of all content, including spelling, grammar, telephone numbers, website and email addresses, postal addresses, dates, prices and offer details. After approval, the Advertiser accepts full responsibility for the content of the Advertisement.

3.10 The Advertiser’s property, artwork and other materials are held at the Advertiser’s risk and should be insured by the Advertiser against loss or damage. The Publisher may dispose of physical or digital artwork 14 days after publication.

3.11 The Publisher retains copyright in artwork it creates for the Advertiser until all related invoices have been paid in full. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Publisher may display any Advertisement it has produced or published in its portfolio, website, promotional materials and social media solely to demonstrate previous work.

4. Delivery and Distribution

4.1 Deliveries of the Publisher’s titles and leaflet distribution are carried out by the Publisher’s managed distribution team. Any stated number of letterboxes is a guide, and the Publisher will endeavour to meet or exceed the distribution numbers stated in its digital and printed literature.

4.2 The Publisher cannot guarantee delivery to every individual letterbox in every street because of restricted access, absence of safe footpaths, known hazards, notices refusing unsolicited material or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Distribution-area maps are available on request.

4.3 The Publisher may place its titles at publicly accessible collection points such as tourist information centres, libraries, health surgeries, cafés, public houses, shops and visitor attractions. Continued placement at any particular collection point is not guaranteed. This is a complimentary service and placement is at the sole discretion of the collection point’s management.

5. Payment and Cancellation

5.1 Full payment for the contract for services will be requested by invoice and is due on the date stated on the invoice and before publication, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payment means cleared funds received by the Publisher.

5.2 Unless otherwise stated, all charges and quoted prices are exclusive of VAT.

5.3 An “advertising campaign” is a booking for more than one insertion, for an agreed duration and at an agreed recurring rate. It will be confirmed by email or another written document where the Advertisement is placed for the same principal or members of the same group of companies and the Advertiser receives improved terms, whether by price or another advantage. Unless otherwise agreed, each insertion will be invoiced separately and the same payment terms will apply to every invoice.

5.4 The Publisher may refuse publication if payment for the Advertisement or any other service is not received in accordance with the contract for services.

5.5 Either party may terminate the contract for services by giving one month’s written notice, including by email.

5.6 If a contract is cancelled, suspended and later restarted, or changed, the Publisher may charge according to the published prices and discount structure current at that time.

5.7 If a recurring discounted rate was agreed for a specified duration and the Advertiser cancels before completing that duration, the Publisher may invoice retrospectively for the difference between the discounted rate charged and the applicable full published price for every completed insertion.

5.8 No refund shall be payable where publication or performance is prevented or delayed because the Advertiser failed to provide Copy, information, approval or payment by the applicable deadline, or otherwise failed to comply with these Terms and Conditions.

5.9 The Advertiser shall pay interest on any sum that remains unpaid more than 30 days after its due date. The Publisher may claim statutory interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate in force at the relevant time, payable on demand, together with reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred in recovering the overdue sum.

5.10 Where a sum remains overdue for 60 days or more, the Publisher may refer the outstanding invoice to an appointed debt-recovery service provider. The Advertiser shall pay reasonable resulting fees in addition to applicable interest and recovery costs.

6. Liability

6.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Publisher’s total liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, shall in all circumstances be limited to the amount actually paid by the Advertiser for the affected Advertisement or service giving rise to the claim.

6.2 The Publisher shall not be liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, data or anticipated savings.

6.3 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

7. Force Majeure

7.1 The Publisher shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations where the delay or failure results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including fire, flood, severe weather, industrial action, power or internet failure, cyber attack, equipment failure, epidemic or pandemic, government action or restriction, supplier or subcontractor failure, shortage of materials, transport disruption or any other event beyond the Publisher’s reasonable control.

7.2 The Publisher may suspend performance for the duration of such circumstances and will use reasonable efforts to resume performance when reasonably practicable. If the circumstances continue for a period that makes performance impracticable, the Publisher may cancel the affected service and will refund or credit any advance payment for the part not supplied, less reasonable costs already incurred.

8. Data Protection

8.1 The Publisher will process personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection legislation. The Advert
