1. Rates:Rates may change without notice but are locked in once a contract is signed.
2. Liability:Agencies acting on behalf of an advertiser must hold a binding mandate and remain liable for payment.
3. Commissions:No agency commissions are offered. Our rates are already significantly reduced to support community impact.
4. Advertising Material:The Client is responsible for supplying all marketing,advertising and promotional materials.
5. Termination:Contracts may be cancelled with 30 days’ written notice. A 25% cancellation fee applies.
6. Event Guarantee:We cannot guarantee that all scheduled communities will hold their events as planned,since we work with collaborators,not employees. We also cannot guarantee that events will take place in the exact locations originally requested. While we aim to honour preferences,flexibility is essential due to the grassroots nature of this initiative. If a scheduled community fails to hold its event,you will not be invoiced for it,and there is no obligation on either party to reschedule or relocate the event.
7. Limitation of Liability:The Company is not liable for damages arising from delays or cancellations.
8. Payment Terms:Invoices are issued within 48 hours of the event and are payable on presentation. Overdue invoices incur 2.5% interest per month. Clients cover collection costs where applicable.
9. Disputes:Unresolved disputes will first go to mediation,then arbitration and,if necessary,to court. South African law applies.
