Advertising Terms & Conditions

Sheer Design Pty Ltd (the Publisher of Hunter Valley Vineyard Wedding Magazine & Website) reserves the right to refuse or cancel any advertising for any reason at any time.
Advertising is published on the understanding it has been supplied free from any violation or infringement of law. The Advertiser indemnifies and agrees to keep the Publisher, its servants, and agents, free against all liability, claims, procedures, losses and expenses arising from, but not limited to, slander of title, copyright and/or trademark infringement, defamation, violation to the right of publicity and/or privacy or any breach of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
The Advertiser agrees to pay the Publisher the total amount of the invoice/s within the terms as set out by the Publisher including, but not limited to any additional fees applicable such as cancellation fees, late payment fees, debt collection fees, court costs, interest fees on overdue payment. All rates are GST exclusive.
PAYMENT PLAN: This is a direct debit system supplied through a payment gateway and payments can be made from any nominated bank account or credit card with your first instalment to be debited between 7 and 14 days. It is your responsibility to have sufficient funds available in your nominated account, failing this you will be charged a fee for each unsuccessful debit additional to any fees charged by your own financial institution. A link to the full payment terms and conditions will be provided on your invoice. If your credit card expires or any changes are made to the bank account information supplied and funds cannot be debited for any reason it is your responsibility to update details with our office so as your payments can continue to be debited. If you miss any payments you must make a lump sum payment to ensure your overall contract is paid within the original agreed time frame.
