This Global Web Advertising Terms and Conditions Agreement (the “Agreement”) governs the advertising on and use of the www.gwa.com site (the “Sites”) by advertisers (“Advertiser”)(such advertising and use, “Advertising Services”). Advertising on this website constitutes Advertiser's and Advertiser's agency's acceptance of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to “you” and “your” refer to Advertiser and its agency, if any. We reserve the right to amend this Agreement at any time by posting an updated version. Advertiser should therefore periodically visit this page to review the then-current Agreement. Advertising on this site after our posting of amendments to this Agreement will constitute Advertiser's acceptance of this Agreement, as modified. Advertiser agrees to be bound by the Website Terms and Conditions located at http://www.gwa.com/website-terms-and-conditions/ and the privacy policy located at http://www.gwa.com/privacy-policy/, which are also made part of this Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. If, at any time, Advertiser does not wish to accept this Agreement then Advertiser may not advertise on this site.

DISPLAY

All advertisement is subject to our prior approval. We have the right in our sole and absolute discretion to reject or cancel any advertisements at any time for any reason. In the event we cancel an advertisement not in connection with a breach of this Agreement by Advertiser then Advertiser shall be responsible for advertising fees through such cancellation. GWA is not responsible for errors or omissions in any advertising materials provided by Advertiser or its agency. Unless otherwise agreed by GWA and Advertiser in writing, GWA shall have the right to insert the advertising in various areas of the site in GWA's sole discretion. You grant GWA a limited license to store, transmit, reproduce, distribute and display your advertisements to the extent necessary for GWA to provide the Advertising Services to you.

PAYMENT

All advertising accepted on a credit basis must be prepaid (or paid within 30 days). Credit terms applicable to any Advertiser or its agency are solely within our discretion and may be changed or discontinued by us at any time. In the event that Advertiser fails to make payment as and when due, we may immediately cancel all orders for advertising. We reserve the right to hold Advertiser and its advertising agency jointly and severally liable for such monies as are due and payable to us. Our advertising rates are subject to change without notice. Special clauses and insertion orders or contracts are not accepted if relating to our legal liability. In the event GWA does not receive payment or Advertiser or its agency otherwise breach the terms of this Agreement, Advertiser and/or its agency shall pay all of GWA's costs and expenses in connection with enforcement and/or collection proceedings including attorneys' fees.
