Hurst Media Advertising & Media Buying Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: 1st August 2026
Hurst Media Agency and Hurst Media Labs are trading styles of Hurst Media Company Limited.
1) Payment terms are offered based on the credit score of any Client as assessed by HMC’s credit check supplier (Company Check). All non-UK customers are required to pay in full in advance of publication. Subject to credit being granted, HMC’s standard terms are that 50% of the total contract price agreed is due at the time of booking and the balance is due within seven (7) days after publication. This first 50% shall constitute a non-refundable part payment of the contract price. The balance of the contract price shall be payable seven (7) days after publication of the advertisement (or first publication in the case of a series booking). If the agreement covers both print and digital formats, the balance is due seven (7) days from the occurrence of the earliest event.
2) Information about the relevant publication or web listing, including specification, distribution, advertising format, technical requirements, and other campaign details, is set out in HMC’s applicable Media Pack. HMC will make the relevant Media Pack available to the Client, including at: https://www.hurstmediacompany.co.uk/products/
The Media Pack forms part of this agreement for the purpose of setting out the practical details of the booking. Any audience figures, forecasts, testimonials, case studies or other promotional content included in the Media Pack are intended as helpful background information, unless expressly confirmed in HMC’s order confirmation.
3) Invoices are strictly net at the price agreed and exclusive of applicable VAT or other direct sales taxes, and are payable without deduction unless agency commission is agreed in writing as deductible at a specific rate.
4a) The contract shall be deemed to have been made at the offices of HMC.
4b) Acceptance of these terms and conditions may be effected by written confirmation (including by email or completed order form) from the Client to HMC. Acceptance of these terms and conditions by email to the Client will constitute a legally binding agreement between the Client and HMC.
4c) By accepting these terms and conditions, the Client acknowledges that this is a business-to-business contract and therefore is not subject to any statutory cooling-off provisions, and that the only rights of cancellation are those set out in these terms and conditions (see clause 22). All confirmed orders are final and the Client has no right of cancellation upon written confirmation (including by email or completed order form) of an order for services from HMC.
4d) The person placing, confirming or approving the booking on behalf of the Client warrants that they have authority to bind the Client.
4e) Unless HMC expressly agrees otherwise in writing before the booking is confirmed, any purchase order, insertion order, supplier onboarding process, internal approval process or purchase order number required by the Client is for administrative purposes only and is not a condition of the formation, validity or enforceability of the contract.
5) The Client is solely responsible for submitting to HMC suitable advertisement or advertorial copy in electronic format (in accordance with HMC’s specifications) by the specified date. The Client warrants and represents that the advertisement:
The Client shall indemnify HMC, its suppliers and distributors against any damage they may sustain in consequence of publication of an advertisement, including copyright claims by a third party.
6) All advertisements and advertorials are accepted at HMC’s discretion as to suitability. If HMC exercises its rights under this clause at any time, HMC shall not be liable for costs, claims, liabilities or damages of any kind as a consequence of doing so.
7) Any design, production or marketing services agreed as part of the booking are additionally subject to the Design, Production and Marketing Services provisions set out in Schedule 2 to these terms and conditions.
8) HMC reserves the right to make grammatical changes and minor corrections to conform to HMC’s house style. In addition, HMC reserves the right to ensure all commercial content is compliant with the Advertising Standards Authority’s UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing (CAP Code) by making copy changes which, in HMC’s reasonable opinion, are necessary to ensure advertising messages are compliant both with the letter and spirit of the code. HMC reserves the right to request source material from the Client to support any claim and also to remove claims which, in its reasonable opinion, are not supported by peer-reviewed research.
9) In the event that HMC’s stated payment terms are not met, the Client shall forfeit the benefit of any discounts applied to the original booking, and the price for the advertisement insertions will default to that published on the current rate card at the time of booking. In the event of late payment, HMC reserves the right to claim payment in full from the Client as per the current published rate card and reserves the right to charge statutory interest on that amount. Statutory interest is calculated at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate and is calculated daily. If HMC exercises its right to charge statutory interest, it shall be calculated from the day after the due date until payment is received by HMC, both before and after judgment, if applicable. HMC’s invoice for interest charges shall be final and binding upon the Client.
10) All reasonable efforts will be made by HMC to fulfil its obligations, but if HMC is prevented or delayed in carrying out any of its obligations by reason of an Act of God, war, lock-out, fire, flood, delay in transit, strike, riot, postal delay or any other unexpected or exceptional cause or circumstance beyond its control, the time for delivery shall be extended until a reasonable time after the event preventing or interfering with the due performance of HMC’s obligations has ceased. In no circumstances shall HMC be liable for any consequential loss or damage suffered by the Client as a result. For clarity, HMC will not be liable for any loss occasioned by the failure of an advertisement to appear from any cause whatsoever.
11) The agreement between the Client and HMC consists of:
Together, these documents form the entire agreement between the Client and HMC in relation to the relevant booking. Any amendment to the agreement must be agreed in writing by a director of HMC.
11A) HMC’s order confirmation shall state the Client, Services purchased, price, payment terms, publication or delivery dates and any Applicable Service Schedule.
12) Every effort will be made to meet the Client’s expressed wishes regarding specified positions, but no guarantee can be given unless a supplementary positioning charge has been agreed.
13) While HMC will take reasonable care of any material supplied by the Client whilst in HMC’s custody, HMC shall not be liable for loss of or damage to material in transit or whilst with any third party.
14) In the event that the Client is in default of its obligations under clause 5 (or gives notice that it does not intend to fulfil such obligations prior to the date for submission of advertising copy), the Client agrees to pay HMC as liquidated damages the lesser of:
15) If the Client enters into liquidation (whether compulsory or voluntary), company administration, receivership, any arrangement with its creditors (whether formal or informal), becomes unable to pay its liabilities as and when they fall due, is presented with a valid winding-up petition, or is subject to a successful winding-up petition, those in control of the Client at the relevant time (being, for example, directors, partners or owners, as applicable) warrant that all outstanding debts will be paid to HMC and undertake to fulfil the payment liability personally on a joint and several basis.
16) If there is any inconsistency between HMC’s order confirmation, these terms and conditions, and the applicable Media Pack, they will apply in the following order of priority:
For clarity, the Media Pack applies to the practical details of the booking, including specifications, formats, and distribution information.
Where an Applicable Service Schedule applies and expressly provides different or additional terms for the relevant Services, that Applicable Service Schedule shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these terms and conditions in relation to those Services only.
17) HMC reserves the right to vary date of publication or advertising going live on the website by not more than +/-21 days and will notify the Client if there is a change to the scheduled date as soon as is reasonably practicable. In any event, time shall not be of the essence as regards the publication date.
18) HMC does not accept liability for printing errors, including variations in the quality of colour reproduction, and such variations shall not be deemed cause for the Client to withhold payment.
19) HMC reserves the right to charge the single insertion rate for each advertisement published in the event of the Client failing to complete a series booking.
20) All disputes or complaints must be made in writing to HMC as soon as the Client becomes aware of the relevant issue and in any event within 28 days of publication.
21) In no event shall the liability of HMC for any breach of contract or in tort exceed the price paid or payable by the Client for the advertisement.
22) The Client may cancel a booking by agreeing to pay a cancellation fee. The level of this fee is a percentage of the booking value and varies depending on how close the cancellation is to the Content Deadline.

(vi) The Client warrants that:

23B) The Client gives HMC general written authorisation to appoint sub-processors where reasonably necessary to provide the services.

HMC shall ensure that each sub-processor is subject to data protection obligations appropriate to the processing.
23C) Nothing in clause 23 prevents HMC from making a transfer of Client Personal Data where that transfer is permitted by the Data Protection Legislation and any applicable lawful transfer mechanism is in place.

HMC will use reasonable endeavours to obtain an appropriate alternative or remedy where practicable.
S1.6) The Client is responsible for all non-refundable commitments properly entered into by HMC with Media Owners or third-party suppliers on the Client’s behalf in accordance with the agreement. Any such commitment shall be taken into account when calculating any cancellation charge so that HMC does not recover the same amount twice.
S1.7) Subject to credit being granted and unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, HMC’s standard payment terms for media buying services are the payment terms set out in clause 1. Where the booking includes publication, broadcast, display or a go-live event, the balance is due within seven (7) days after the relevant event, or the earliest such event where more than one format is included.
S1.8) The cancellation provisions in clause 22 apply to media buying services by reference to the Content Deadline or, where HMC has notified the Client that a Media Owner Deadline applies, by reference to that Media Owner Deadline. Any non-refundable Media Owner or supplier commitment properly incurred before cancellation is included within the amount payable by the Client, and HMC shall not recover the same amount twice.

S2.5) HMC will provide the final output files or deliverables specified in the order confirmation. Source files, editable files, working files, production files and underlying project files are not included unless expressly agreed in writing.
S2.6) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all intellectual property rights created by HMC in the course of providing the Services, excluding materials supplied by the Client, remain owned by HMC. Upon payment in full, HMC grants the Client a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the final deliverables for the purposes contemplated by the agreement and the Client’s business.

For clarity, HGL will not be liable for any loss occasioned by the failure of an advertisement to appear from any cause whatsoever.
17. HGL reserves the right to vary date of appearance of Advertising (e.g. publication or broadcast date, advertising going live on the website, and/or any other appropriate measure of appearance) by not more than +/-21 days and will notify the Client if there is a change to the scheduled date as soon as is reasonably practicable. In any event, time shall not be of the essence as regards the appearance date.
18.

19. HGL does not accept liability for errors in appearance of the Advertising (e.g. printing errors, including variations in the quality of colour reproduction) and such variations shall not be deemed cause for the Client withholding payment.
20. All disputes or complaints must be made in writing to HGL as soon as the Client is aware and in any event within 28 days of publication.
21. In no event shall the liability of HGL for any breach of contract or in tort exceed the price paid or payable by the Client for the advertisement.

b. If the Press Deadline is more than 7 days in the future but fewer than 30 days away the fee is 66% + VAT of the booking value.
c. If the Press Deadline is within 7 days the fee is 100% + VAT of the booking value.

f. For the avoidance of doubt, for any campaigns that are already live, the cancellation fee is 100% of the contract value.
g. Cancellations within 72 hours of the Deadline will not be accepted and HGL reserves the right at its absolute discretion to source content (e.g. artwork or copy) from the Client’s website and/or other materials at full charge if the Client fails to provide it and run with assumed approval from the Client order to fulfil the booking.
