Advertising Terms & Conditions

1. Advertising Approval

All advertising submitted to Blogticles is subject to review and approval before publication.

Blogticles reserves the right to decline, reject, request changes to, suspend or remove advertising that we reasonably consider unsuitable for the website or its audience.

Acceptance of payment does not remove our right to reject or remove advertising that later proves to breach these terms.

2. Advertising Content

Advertising must be accurate, lawful and not misleading or deceptive.

Advertisers must ensure that their advertisement, offer, product, service, website and promotional claims comply with all applicable laws, regulations and industry requirements.

Advertising must not contain material that is defamatory, offensive, fraudulent, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, sexually explicit or otherwise inappropriate for the general Blogticles audience.

3. Advertiser Responsibility

The advertiser is responsible for:

• the accuracy of all advertising claims and information;
• ensuring prices, promotions and availability are current;
• supplying suitable creative material;
• ensuring all destination URLs are correct and operational;
• obtaining permission to use all logos, trademarks, photographs, graphics and other intellectual property contained in the advertisement;
• complying with relevant Australian advertising and consumer laws.

Blogticles does not independently verify every claim made by advertisers.

4. Advertising Creative

Advertisers must supply advertising creative in the requested dimensions and file formats.

Blogticles may resize or optimise advertising material where reasonably necessary to suit the website or different device sizes.

Where separate desktop and mobile creative is supplied, Blogticles may display the version most appropriate for the visitor's device.

Creative that does not meet required specifications may be returned for amendment before a campaign begins.

5. Destination Links

Display advertisements may link directly to an advertiser's website, booking page, product page, promotional landing page or other approved external destination.

The destination does not need to be a Blogticles article.

External websites remain entirely under the control and responsibility of their respective owners. Blogticles is not responsible for the content, availability, security or operation of an advertiser's external website.

6. Campaign Dates and Duration

Campaigns are scheduled according to the agreed advertising period and preferred commencement date.

Requested start dates are subject to availability and campaign approval.

Where a campaign cannot begin on the requested date, Blogticles may contact the advertiser to arrange an alternative commencement date.

Advertising periods are measured from the actual activation date unless otherwise agreed.

7. Advertising Placement

Advertising will be displayed in the placement or advertising zone purchased or agreed.

Examples may include:

• Header Premium Advertising
• Homepage Feature Advertising
• Homepage Standard Advertising
• Category Page Advertising
• other placements offered by Blogticles from time to time.

Individual advertisements may rotate with other campaigns booked into the same advertising zone.

Purchasing an advertising placement does not necessarily provide exclusive use of that position unless exclusivity has specifically been agreed in writing.

8. Impressions, Clicks and Results

Blogticles does not guarantee a particular number of:

• impressions;
• page views;
• clicks;
• enquiries;
• leads;
• sales;
• bookings;
• conversions; or
• search engine results.

Advertising performance can vary according to website traffic, visitor interests, seasonality, campaign creative and many other factors.

Statistics provided by Blogticles, where available, should be regarded as campaign reporting information rather than a guarantee of performance.

9. Payment

Unless a campaign has specifically been approved by Blogticles as a Complimentary / Internal Campaign, advertising must be paid for before activation.

Advertising prices are displayed in the currency stated at the time of purchase.

Payment may be processed through Stripe or another payment provider nominated by Blogticles.

Advertising will not normally commence until payment has been received and confirmed.

10. Complimentary Advertising

From time to time Blogticles may provide complimentary advertising, bonus placements, promotional trials, partnership campaigns or goodwill advertising.

Complimentary advertising has no cash value and does not create an entitlement to future free advertising.

Blogticles may determine the duration, placement and availability of complimentary campaigns.

11. Cancellations and Refunds

Advertising campaigns may generally be cancelled before activation by contacting Blogticles.

Once a campaign has commenced, refunds are not normally provided for the unused portion of the campaign unless Blogticles is unable to provide the agreed advertising placement for a substantial part of the booked period.

Any approved refund will be assessed having regard to the circumstances of the campaign.

12. Campaign Changes

Advertisers may request reasonable changes to advertising creative or destination URLs during a campaign.

Blogticles may require replacement material to be reviewed before the change becomes active.

Significant or repeated changes may require a new campaign submission.

13. Suspension or Removal

Blogticles may immediately suspend or remove advertising if:

• the advertisement breaches these terms;
• the advertiser's website becomes unsafe or unavailable;
• the advertising becomes misleading or inaccurate;
• we receive a legitimate complaint concerning the campaign;
• the advertisement infringes another party's rights; or
• continued publication may expose Blogticles or its users to legal, security or reputational risk.

14. Intellectual Property

Advertisers retain ownership of advertising material they provide.

By submitting advertising material, the advertiser grants Blogticles permission to reproduce, resize, display and distribute that material for the purpose of delivering the advertising campaign.

The advertiser confirms that they have the necessary authority to provide this permission.

15. Editorial Independence

Purchasing advertising does not provide an advertiser with editorial control over Blogticles.

Advertising relationships do not guarantee favourable articles, reviews, editorial coverage, search rankings or inclusion within Blogticles editorial content.

Where advertising or sponsored material requires identification as advertising, sponsored content or promotional content, Blogticles may label it accordingly.

16. Website Availability

Blogticles aims to keep the website and advertising system available and operating reliably.

However, temporary interruptions may occur due to maintenance, hosting issues, software updates, security incidents or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Where a significant interruption materially affects an advertising campaign, Blogticles may extend the campaign period where appropriate.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Blogticles is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from an advertising campaign, including loss of profits, revenue, customers or business opportunities.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Australian law.

18. Changes to These Terms

Blogticles may update these Advertising Terms & Conditions from time to time.

The terms applying to a campaign will generally be those in effect when the advertising order or campaign is accepted.

19. Contact

Questions regarding advertising, campaign requirements or these terms can be submitted through the Blogticles contact or advertising pages.
