TERMS & CONDITIONS OF ADVERTISING (to be read in conjunction with Terms of Website Use)
Terms and definitions
These terms shall apply in addition to all other terms and conditions on this site. In the event of a conflict arising out of these terms and any others on the site, the provisions of these terms shall prevail.
For the purposes of these terms, an ‘Advertisement’ refers to all types of advertisements including (without limitation) Features, Banner Advertisements, Sponsored Services, on our website carequalitynetwork.org.uk, our carequaliytnetwork.org.uk email newsletter and our carequalitynetwork.org.uk, iPhone, iPad and Android apps (“our site”).
Care Quality Network CIC accepts the publication of the Advertisements on the terms set out below and by placing an order, the Advertiser (being the person or organisation placing the order for the Advertisement, whether they are the advertiser of the product or service referred to in the Advertisement or the advertising agency or media buyer for such advertiser) accepts and agrees to be bound by these terms in full.
Formats
The Advertiser’s listing features in the listings on carequalitynetwork.org .uk for a specific category(s). In addition, the Advertiser logo is displayed on the Advertiser’s profile page.
Advertisers are responsible for providing content and images for advertisements in the format(s) specified by Care Quality Network CIC.
​
Duration of agreements
The start date and duration of advertisements will be agreed by both Advertiser and Care Quality Network CIC and be confirmed via email correspondence between Care Quality Network CIC and Advertiser. The duration of the agreement will be for 1 year unless otherwise agreed, except for Banner Advertisements on the Email Newsletter, which have a duration of 1 month unless otherwise agreed.
Without limiting its other rights or remedies, Care Quality Network CIC may terminate these terms at any time by giving to the Advertiser no less than one (1) months' prior written notice. On termination of these terms:
(a) the Advertiser will, where applicable, immediately pay to Care Quality Network CIC any fees that have accrued from the start date of the Advertisements to the date of termination; and
(b) the accrued rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities of the parties as at expiry or termination shall not be affected, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination or expiry.
​
Content, display, placement and links
Where Care Quality Network CIC considers an Advertisement to be unsuitable or contrary to these terms, it may, without any liability to the Advertiser, reject, remove or require any Advertisement (or part of it) to be amended.
The Advertiser represents, warrants and undertakes to Care Quality Network CIC that:
(a) any information supplied in connection with the Advertisement is accurate, complete, true and not misleading;
(b) it has obtained the consent of any living person whose name or image (in whole or in part) is contained in any Advertisement;
(c) the Advertisements are legal, decent, honest and truthful, and comply with all applicable laws, regulations or codes of practice; and
(d) the Advertisements are not libellous or obscene and do not infringe the rights of any person (including any person's intellectual property rights).
Where the Advertiser is an advertising agency or media buyer, the Advertiser further warrants that it is authorised by the advertiser of a product or service to place the Advertisement with Care Quality Network CIC and the Advertiser will compensate Care Quality Network CIC for any claim made by such advertiser against Care Quality Network CIC.
The placement of Banner Advertisements will be agreed in advance in writing by both the Advertiser and Care Quality Network CIC.
Banner Advertisements will link to the listing page of the Advertiser, unless otherwise agreed. If it is agreed that the Banner Advertisements should link direct to the Advertisers website, the link of the Banner Advertisement will have a no follow attribute and will pass through a gateway page so that Care Quality Network CIC can track website statistics.
​
Fees and payment
The prices for the Advertisements will be set out in the quotation provided by Care Quality Network CIC, and all prices quoted are exclusive of VAT. Tomorrow’s Guides reserves the right to change the prices at any time. Once an order for an Advertisement has been received the order is non-cancellable and non-refundable.
All Advertisements on our site will be invoiced on date of agreement, unless otherwise agreed.
All invoices are payable within 30 days from the date of invoice and time for payment is of the essence.
Care Quality Network CIC may refuse to publish any Advertisement for any Advertiser who has not paid any sums due for any advertising, as required under these terms.
Without limiting any other right or remedy of Care Quality Network CIC, if the Advertiser fails to make any payment due to Care Quality Network CIC under these terms by the due date for payment, Care Quality Network CIC shall have the right to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the then current Bank of England's base rate accruing on a daily basis from the date of due payment until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment, and compounding quarterly.
All fees are non-refundable and will not be pro-rated should Advertiser decide to discontinue the display of an Advertisement.
​

(a) use the Advertiser’s names, trademarks and/or logos as Care Quality Network CIC may consider reasonably necessary for the purposes of publishing the Advertisements; and
