2. APPLICATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  1. The Principal shall be ultimately responsible for the payment of Fees and shall be deemed to have full authority in all matters connected with the placing of the Order and the approval or amendment of Advertising Copy. A media agency or specialist media buyer shall be regarded for all purposes as the Principal. For the avoidance of doubt, every Order placed by an Advertising Agency will be for a specified Advertiser, and any change to the Advertiser must be agreed in writing by the Media Owner.
  2. The Terms and Conditions together with any additional terms set out in the Booking Confirmation will be legally binding on the Media Owner and the Principal in respect of each Order submitted by the Principal one (1) Working Day after the date of the Booking Confirmation unless:
    1. the Principal notifies the Media Owner of an objection to the Booking Confirmation within such period; or
    2. a shorter timescale is agreed in writing between the Parties.
  3. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Principal to return a signed Booking Confirmation to the Media Owner will not prejudice the terms of the Agreement. Any performance by the Media Owner will be deemed to be subject to the Terms and Conditions.
  4. Any Orders accepted shall only be used for displaying the Advertising Copy supplied in relation to the Booking Confirmation.

3. DISPLAY OBLIGATIONS

  1. The Media Owner will (subject to Clause 2 above) unless otherwise agreed in writing, display Advertising Copy at the number of Sites as stipulated in the Booking Confirmation, in accordance with the Posting Period and subject to Clause 4, and from time to time as necessary renew them with Advertising Copy to be provided by or at the expense of the Principal.
  2.  The Media Owner shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the total agreed value of Advertising Copy will be delivered during the Display Period, as set out in the Booking Confirmation. The Media Owner reserves the right to amend the display impressions frequency and length, during the Display Period at its discretion.
  3. The Media Owner will provide the Principal, upon request, with Playout Delivery Data (either in report form or through an automated API connection) in relation to an Order and its related Advertising Copy.
    1. Playout Delivery Data provided by the Media Owner is to be used for the proof of delivery of the Media Owner’s display obligations in accordance with any Booking Confirmation. The Principal may share the information with Clients, Agencies and Media Auditors when deemed necessary, provided that the data cannot be shared with any other third parties without written consent from the Media Owner.
    2. The Playout Delivery Data is to be used to confirm the Media Owner’s delivery of Advertisement in accordance with a Booking Confirmation only, and cannot be aggregated across multiple campaigns to provide data on historical market trends, or used to influence future pricing or purchasing decisions by any party.  If the data is used in this manner (by any party) the Media Owner will view this a material breach of these Terms and Conditions, for which damages may not be an adequate remedy and may, in addition to any remedies available to it at law, seek injunctive relief.
  4. In calculating the value of Advertising Copy displayed in connection with the Agreement (including for the purposes of calculating the value of Overshow or any compensation based on failure to display the agreed value of Advertising Copy) the rates set out in the Booking Confirmation (or rates on which a price set out in the Booking Confirmation have been calculated) will be applied. Where the Booking Confirmation identifies specific Sites at which Advertising Copy is to be displayed, the value of any Advertising Copy displayed at different Sites than those identified will be calculated on the basis of rates determined using similar methodology to the methodology used to calculate the rates set out for the specific, named Sites (e.g. applying the same percentage reduction from the Media Owners standard rate card).
  5. The Media Owner reserves the right to use its discretion to substitute planned Sites for other Sites of a similar quality where the planned Sites are not available or the Media Owner otherwise considers this is necessary or desirable.  If no Sites of a similar quality are available, the Media Owner, at its sole discretion, either (a) refund the pro-rated part of the Fee that relates to the missing Display Period or Audience Delivery for the Advertising Copy that is not, or is no longer, displayed, in which case it will have no further obligation to display that Advertising Copy; or (b) provide an Overshow or Over Delivery to the Principal with an equivalent value to value of the missing Display Period or missing Audience Delivery for the Advertising Copy that is not, or is no longer, displayed.
  6. When the Principal is entitled under the Booking Confirmation to a change of Advertising Copy on display at a given Site and the Booking Confirmation stipulates a date upon which such a change should be commenced, the Media Owner shall complete such change within any period specified in the Posting Period as if the stipulated date were the Display Period Start Date for a new campaign, provided the Media Owner has received the relevant Advertising Copy in accordance with Clause 4 below.
  7. The Fees include the maintenance of display of Advertising Copy at Sites in good condition provided the Media Owner has been supplied with any necessary replacement Advertising Copy requested by the Media Owner from time to time in accordance with Clause 4.
  8. The Media Owner will only provide photographs of displayed Advertising Copy at Sites if expressly agreed in the Booking Confirmation.
  9. The display by Media Owner of Advertising Copy on any Site shall be subject to any prohibitions that may be set by the relevant landlord of the Site. In the event that Advertising Copy is not able to be displayed on a Site due to such landlord prohibitions, the Media Owner shall use all reasonably commercial efforts to substitute the Site for an alternative Site in accordance with clause 3e above.
  10. The Media Owner shall have the right to approve any Advertising Copy prior to display, and may refuse any Advertising Copy if, in its reasonable opinion, the Advertising Copy may be considered (amongst other things) offensive, obscene, blasphemous, racist, sexist, abusive, inappropriate or contrary to any advertising guidelines or regulations.

    • The Media Owner shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that any maintenance, repair or upgrade of the screen is carried out efficiently and within as short a period of time as practicable.
    • The Media Owner shall use its reasonable endeavours to limit any physical obstruction that may affect the visibility of Advertising Copy being displayed on the screen.
    • The Principal acknowledges that the Media Owner shall not be in breach of these provisions where a cradle or scaffolding is being used to access the screen or the surrounding areas and/or any obstruction is caused, or where otherwise required for construction, road or pavement works or general works, redevelopment, refurbishment or rebuilding works being carried out in connection with Piccadilly Lights (provided that the owner of Piccadilly Lights shall use reasonable endeavours to limit any obstruction to the screen when such works are being carried out).
    • The Media Owner reserves the right to make changes to the Advertising Copy display rotation and from time to time, may offer an Advertiser upto one hours full ownership of the display rotation.  The Principle acknowledges that the Media Owner shall not be in breach of these display obligations for any loss of Advertising Airtime under these circumstances.
  12. Should, in the unlikely event, the government or any regulatory body institute a power usage limit or blackout on certain areas where a Site is located and the campaign distribution is affected then the Media Owner will compensate Advertising Airtime to an equivalent value of the Advertising Airtime forgone on other Sites.
