The Advertiser will be responsible for supplying artwork in a format acceptable to Focal Attractions Pty Ltd by the copy deadline. The Advertiser should refer to Focal Attractions Pty Ltd’s guidelines for supplying artwork for information in regard to the acceptable format of artwork. The Advertiser agrees that it may incur additional charges if Focal Attractions Pty Ltd agrees to accept artwork for the advertisement after the copy deadline. Production of the advertisement will commence only when Focal Attractions Pty Ltd receives the Advertiser’s written agreement to proceed subject to these Advertising Terms and approved proofs of the artwork.

If the Advertiser commits any act of insolvency, all money owing by the Advertiser to Focal Attractions Pty Ltd, whether by way of credit or otherwise, will become due and payable immediately. Focal Attractions Pty Ltd reserves the right to suspend, with or without notice, any services if any payment due by the Advertiser to Focal Attractions Pty Ltd is overdue. A late payment fee of 10% per month, calculated daily, may be charged for overdue amounts.
