APN: Making
Advertising Easy
From November 11, APN ARM will implement a modular
advertising system. Simple and sophisticated, the new system
will reduce our creative ad sizes to 18 across all of our daily
and community newspapers.
APN ARM’s shift to modular follows extensive research and
planning from the newspaper industry and has proved to
deliver many benefits to readers and advertisers.
Modular advertising will reduce your creative costs and
improve efficiency across the print landscape. Ads will
have a greater impact in a clean, uncluttered environment
and we can offer you the flexibility of unique, creative and
tailored solutions.
The pricing model will also simplify, saving you time and
resources and making the planning and pricing process
easy with APN ARM.
THE BENEFITS OF MODULAR:
- Simplified modular rate card
- 18 new modular sizes available, reducing creative
costs across APN mastheads
- Flexibility to deliver unique creative solutions
- Greater engagement from readers with a fresh
and contemporary format
- Planning, buying and booking media is easier
with APN ARM

Terms & Conditions
1. ADVERTISEMENTS
APN News & Media Limited and its Australian
subsidiaries (“APN”) accept all Advertisements
and notices (“Advertisements”) from any person
(“Customer”) for publication in publications or
websites under APN’s control or represented by
APN under a contract, agency, reseller or similar
representative arrangement (“APN Media”)
on the following terms and conditions (”Terms
and Conditions”).
4. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Subject to clause 27, these Terms and Conditions
(including any insertion orders, booking confirmations
and any credit terms referred to in clause 14 if
applicable) set out the entire agreement between the
parties in relation to any Advertising and supersedes
all prior arrangements, undertakings, representations
and warranties by or between the parties in relation to
such Advertising.
These Terms and Conditions will apply to:
5. SUBMISSION OF ADVERTISING
If submitting any Advertisements, the Customer
must comply with the submission requirements
and deadlines set out in the relevant APN Media or
otherwise notified to the Customer by APN. Where an
Advertisement has not been submitted in this manner
APN will not be obliged to accept the Advertisement
for publication. In relation to Online or Banner
Advertising, APN may also charge the Customer in full
with effect from the publication date in the relevant
insertion order.
(a) Display and classified advertising in APN Media,
in supplementary magazines and in newspaper
inserted brochures (“Newspaper Advertising”);
(b) Online banner and online display advertising on
APN Media (“Banner Advertising”);
(c) Online advertising on APN Media other than Banner
Advertising (“Online Advertising”); and
(d) All other advertising services provided to the Customer
by APN in relation to Advertisements (“Other
Advertising”), (together referred to as “Advertising”).
2. TERMS INCONSISTENT
The placing of an order for any Advertising by a
Customer constitutes acceptance by the Customer of
these Terms and Conditions and of all rates set out
by APN in the relevant rate cards unless otherwise
agreed in writing by APN. To the extent that any order
submitted by the Customer attempts to include terms
that are inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions,
those terms will not apply.
3. CUSTOMER
The expression “Customer” means the advertiser and,
where any Advertising has been placed with APN by
an advertising agency (subject to clause 23), includes
that agency, and all obligations (including payment
obligations), warranties, indemnities, releases and
discharges expressed to be given under these Terms
and Conditions by the Customer are expressed to be
given by the advertiser and the advertising agency on a
joint and several basis.
6. PUBLICATION
(a) Subject to these Terms and Conditions, APN will use
its reasonable endeavours to publish Advertisements
submitted by Customers in the format submitted by
the Customer and in accordance with the placement
instructions of the Customer or agreed insertion
order, but the Customer acknowledges given the
nature of various different APN Media that it will
not always be possible or feasible to use the format
submitted by the Customer or to accommodate the
placement requested by the Customer.
(b) APN will publish classified Advertisements under
the classification heading that it reasonably believes
is most appropriate.
(c) Without limiting the above, if APN, reasonably
believes that the placement instructions of the
Customer for an Advertisement are inappropriate for
any reason, APN may offer the Customer alternate
placements. If the Customer does not accept the
alternate placements, clause 10(a) will apply.
7. CANCELLATION (BANNER ADVERTISING)
Any cancellation of Banner Advertising by the
Customer must be made with at least 30 days written
notice. Advertising cancelled with less than 30 days
notice will be forfeited by the Customer and APN is
under no obligation to provide any refund or credit in
respect of the notice period.
8. CANCELLATION
The cancellation by the Customer of any Advertising
(other than Banner Advertising) after the booking
deadline will incur a cancellation fee of 100% of the
charges that would be payable by the Customer if the
Advertising had been published or completed.
9. CUSTOMER UNDERTAKINGS
The Customer undertakes and warrants to APN that no
Advertisement will:
(a) Breach or infringe the Competition and Consumer
Act 2010 (Cth);
(b) Infringe copyright, trade mark or other intellectual
or moral property rights of any person;
(c) Contain material that is obscene, offensive,
defamatory, or otherwise unsuitable for publication;
(d) Breach or infringe any laws relating to therapeutic
goods, financial services, anti-discrimination,
political publication, publication of court or tribunal
materials, or any other State or Commonwealth
legislation, rule or ordinance; or
(e) Give rise to any liability on APN, cause APN to be
in breach of any law by virtue of publishing the
Advertisement, or result in a claim being made
against APN.
10. APN RIGHTS
(a) If in APN’s reasonable opinion, the Advertisement
breaches any term of these Terms and Conditions
(including clause 9) or the publication of the
Advertisement may damage APN’s reputation or
would otherwise be contrary to APN’s legitimate
business interests, APN may:
APN ADVANCE
Terms & Conditions (Continued)
(i) Without notice to the Customer alter or abbreviate to
the extent reasonably necessary any Advertisement,
including by inserting the word “Advertisement”
above or below any Advertisement which in APN’s
reasonable opinion resembles editorial matter; or
(ii) At any time and without notice to the Customer
cancel, reject or refuse to publish or continue
publishing any Advertisement at any time prior to,
or after, publication of the Advertisement, provided
this right will not be unreasonably exercised.
(b) Without limiting clause 10(a), the Customer
acknowledges that it remains responsible for all
Advertisements submitted by it and APN has no
obligation to review any Advertisement nor to
alter, amend, cancel, reject or refuse to publish or
continue publishing any Advertisement.
(c) The Customer agrees that APN may publish or republish an Advertisement in other APN Media and
media (for example APN may publish Newspaper
Advertising online, or vice versa or may publish Online
Advertising in a variety of APN Media). Additional
charging (if any) for such publishing or re-publishing
will be as agreed between APN and the Customer.
11. INDEMNITY
By submitting or authorising submission of an
Advertisement for publication or Advertising, the Customer
indemnifies APN (and its employees, officers and agents)
against any proceedings, demands, losses, costs (including
legal costs on a full indemnity basis), damages and other
liabilities of any nature taken, made or awarded against or
incurred by APN (and/or its employees, officers and agents)
(“Loss”) arising from or in connection with:
12. NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTIES
Subject to clause 17
(a) APN does not guarantee that the Customer’s service
or product featured in an Advertisement will be
the only service or product of that type featured
in Advertisements on any one page or that any
particular editorial content or subject matter will or
will not appear on any one page; and
(b) Online Advertising will be published via internet
accessible Advertisement serving software (“Software”).
APN makes no warranties of any kind, whether
express or implied of the fitness of this Software for a
particular purpose. APN shall not be liable for any loss,
damage, or expense incurred in connection with the
Software, including without limitation, for any technical
malfunction, computer error or loss of data other than
as a result of APN’s gross negligence or fraud.
13. PRODUCTION SERVICES
If the Customer requires any creative, production,
programming, or other services (“Production Services”)
from APN, the Customer must pay APN additional charges
for such services, as notified in writing to the Customer
by APN at the time the Customer requests the Production
Services or shortly after that time (but before the Production
Services are provided). The Customer acknowledges that
the charges for these Production Services will be APN’s

acknowledges that certain guarantees apply
which cannot be excluded, including that:

particular purpose made known to APN by the
Customer and will be of a nature, quality and
state or condition that might reasonably be

to APN by the Customer, unless the Customer
did not rely on, or it was unreasonable for
the Customer to have relied on, APN’s skill
or judgment.
(c) Where APN is liable to a Customer for a breach of
a guarantee which cannot be excluded, such as a
guarantee described in clause 17(b), APN:
(i) Acknowledges that its liability to Customers that
are acquiring Advertising for personal, domestic
or household use cannot be limited; and
(ii) Limits its liability as set out in clause 17(d) for
all Customers other than Customers described
in clause 17(c)(i).
(d) Subject to clause 17(c), where APN is liable to a

are foreseeable and whether or not APN had
been advised of the possibility thereof;
(ii) The liability of APN (including APN’s officers,
employees and agents) to the Customer,
or any other person, for any and all loss or
damage arising in relation to these Terms and
Conditions and/or Advertisements (including
from any errors or inaccuracies however caused,
whether by negligence, system, software or
press failure, mistake, mis-classifications, early,
late or non-insertion of Advertisements, or
loss or delay in the delivery of replies) will be

but excluding statutory holidays). In addition, APN
will not be liable to the Customer for any error or
inaccuracy in Advertisements placed by telephone.
