all or part of the remaining unperformed part of the Contract unless the context of the
relevant condition makes it clear that cancellation of only a specific insertion(s) is referred to.

Contract is made only by the Publisher’s acceptance of the Advertiser’s order as affected by
the Publisher issuing and receiving a signed insertion order.

effective unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Publisher. Any other terms or
conditions sought to be imposed by the Advertiser are expressly excluded.

his servants or agents including the unsuitability of the Advertisement as indicated above,

not undertake to review the contents of any Advertisements and any such review of and/or

to the Advertiser that proportion of the amounts paid which relate to those Advertisements
and/or impressions which were not provided or, if the relevant amounts were not paid by the
Advertiser, agree that such amounts will not be due or payable. The Publisher shall not be
