In digital filler-campaigns Clear Channel guarantees delivery of number of offered plays with at least 97%.

The agreed price applies subject to changes in the applicable legislation in respect of taxes and charges relating to the sale of outdoor/out-of-home advertising. If nothing else is stated in the offer, Clear Channel’s offers are with reservation for inventory availability.

If the booking relates to multiple advertising periods, the cancellation must be made no later than 8 (or 6) weeks before the start of the first advertising period.

If the cancellation takes place later than the time specified in the preceding section, the Client shall pay full compensation equivalent to the total price agreed for the campaign as specified in the written order confirmation sent. Clear Channel has the right to invoice the Client when the cancellation is made.

2. Supply of material.

It is the responsibility of the Client to go to www.clearchannel.se and navigate to the chosen product(s) and find the delivery specification(s). The current delivery specifications (Leveransspecifikationer) are issued by Clear Channel and can be viewed at www.clearchannel.se.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that posters and other advertising material comply with the current delivery Specifications issued by Clear Channel.

The Client shall provide clear instructions (illustrations) on how the material is to be posted.

Posters and other material shall, unless otherwise agreed, be delivered at the Client’s expense to the address specified in the above mentioned delivery specifications.

Delivery must take place no later than the deadline stated in the above mentioned delivery specifications of the format(s) where the campaign of the Client is planned to run.

For advertising periods longer than 14 days, the Client shall provide whatever reserve supply Clear Channel may reasonably request.

For transit advertising, both stationary and mobile, the reserve supply specified by Clear Channel in the order confirmation shall apply.

D. Undelivered material or delayed delivery.

Clear Channel has the right to payment within the agreed time even if the Client does not provide the advertising material or if it is delivered too late.

E. Printing through Clear Channel.

If the Client has chosen to print through Clear Channel, Clear Channel is responsible for ensuring that delivery is made on time and with the right quality, as long as the Client has delivered print-ready originals according to specification and at the agreed time. Invoicing is carried out according to section 7, jointly with the media cost as a rule, unless otherwise agreed.

If the decision is taken not to go through with the booked campaign for some reason, after the advertising material has been produced, the production costs will be billed to the Client.

A. Times of posting etc.

The posting of posters or panels shall be arranged by Clear Channel. The total price for an advertising period includes one paste-up or posting, unless otherwise stated on the order confirmation.

Posting of campaigns begins at the earliest Sunday at 6 pm and is completed at the latest Tuesday at 11.59 pm.

If extreme weather conditions make posting or pasting (of all formats) impossible at the stated time, Clear Channel has the right to stop posting these items and continue as soon as the weather permits without this leading to any reduction in price.

B. Delayed delivery of material.

If the Client delivers advertising material to Clear Channel later than 5 working days before the commencement of the advertising period (which normally means Friday at 9 am) or later than on another agreed date, Clear Channel will not be responsible for ensuring that posting takes place in accordance with the original timetable In the event of such a delay on the Client’s part, posting will take place as soon as possible. If additional costs arise in connection with such delayed posting, Clear Channel has the right to charge the Client separately for these costs. The minimum sum that will be charged is SEK 10 000.

C. Cost of non-standard posting.

E. Responsibility for incorrect posting.

If Clear Channel does not post the Client’s advertising material or posts it incorrectly, the Client has the right to reasonable compensation. The compensation will be payable through the Client receiving advertising space with Clear Channel at a maximum value equivalent to the Client’s hire charge for the incorrect objects during the advertising period. Compensation is not paid in cases where the advertising surface is not illuminated due to the fact that it is not equipped with lighting, or where the lighting temporarily does not work for reasons beyond our control, for example because a cable was excavated during road work.

F. Wrapped metro carriages.

When wrapping metro carriages, Clear Channel gives no guarantee that these carriages will be in service each day. If a wrapped carriage is taken out of service, the Client will receive compensation in the form of a campaign period extension for the number of days that a carriage did not go into and/or was not in service.

G. Advertising for competing operations.

The Client accepts that advertising material for operations which compete with the Client may appear on advertising space adjacent to the advertising space booked by the Client.

H. Over-pasting/reposting after the end of the period.

Over-pasting/reposting normally takes place after the end of the advertising period. If the parties have agreed that over-pasting/reposting is to begin immediately after the end of the advertising period, Clear Channel is obliged to carry this out. Any such agreement must be made in writing no later than 4 weeks before the campaign commences. If the agreement is reached later than 4 weeks before the commencement of the campaign, the Client will be charged an additional posting fee. Please note that over-pasting/reposting cannot be made for Billboard National.

I. Rearrangement of advertising objects.

Clear Channel reserves the right to rearrange advertising objects included in a booked product between the date of booking and the commencement of the advertising period. Any such rearrangement of advertising objects may involve changes in respect of individual advertising objects, but will not affect the fulfilment of the delivery of the ordered product as a whole. Clear Channel does not accept responsibility for any changes which may occur in the number of advertising objects before the commencement of the advertising period. The agreed price applies even if the advertising objects have been rearranged and even if the number of objects differs by up to 5% for transit advertising (vehicles) and 3% for other formats during the advertising period.

J. Information on booked advertising spaces.

At the Client’s request, Clear Channel will provide a list of addresses or other record of the advertising spaces hired. Any such list or record will be provided no earlier than 14 days before the campaign commences. Rearrangements or changes to the number of advertising objects as described in section H may also occur during the period after the Client has received the list of addresses.

4. Care and maintenance.

Clear Channel is responsible for ensuring that the advertising is kept neat and tidy by using the reserve supply provided to replace or repair damaged posters or panels at the earliest opportunity. With long-term hire of advertising panels, the Client will be informed if a need for maintenance or replacement arises. Clear Channel is not liable for any delay in the replacement of damaged posters or panels due to circumstances outside Clear Channel’s control.

If Clear Channel fails to fulfil its obligations under this section, the Client has the right to reasonable compensation for the resulting error. In compensation, the client will receive advertising space from Clear Channel to a value of no more than the client’s hire charge during the advertising period for the incorrect objects. The only compensation available from Clear Channel is advertising space to an equivalent monetary amount.

5. The Client’s responsibility for the content of the advertising.

The Client’s advertising message must not contravene Swedish law, the International Chamber of Commerce’s Consolidated Code of Advertising and Marketing Communication Practice or other applicable rules and regulations. Such applicable rules may include local regulations. Clear Channel has the right to examine advertising material in advance. If the advertising material is considered to breach the above provisions or may in some other way be judged unethical, Clear Channel has the right to refuse to post it. Drawings and posting instructions are to be e-mailed to kampanjplanering@clearchannel.se before the campaign goes to print, but no later than 14 days before the advertising period commences.

If you know that the content of the text or image may be perceived as provocative, please contact us for discussion at least 3 weeks before the campaign starts. The Client shall compensate Clear Channel for all charges, damages or other costs which Clear Channel may incur as a result of any infringement of applicable laws or regulations or infringement of third-party rights by the Client’s advertising message. The Client’s obligation under this provision applies even if the advertising material has been examined in advance by Clear Channel without any objection being raised.

If the booked advertising space cannot be utilised by the Client as a result of the Client not being aware of or complying with applicable laws and regulations on the content of the advertising, Clear Channel is still entitled to full payment for the advertising space. If drawings for the campaign are not sent for approval in accordance with the text above, Clear Channel cannot guarantee that the campaign will be posted.

6. Limitation of liability.

Clear Channel’s liability for errors in connection with posting etc. is regulated separately in this agreement. In addition, Clear Channel’s compensation liability is limited to compensation for direct losses equivalent to no more than the agreed compensation for the hire or service in question. Indirect losses, such as loss of profit, consequential losses or similar, are not eligible for compensation unless the loss has arisen as a result of gross negligence or wilful actions on Clear Channel’s part.

Clear Channel is relieved of liability for damages and other sanctions if the fulfilment of its undertakings under this agreement is prevented or made more difficult by an obstacle outside Clear Channel’s control, such as strike, lockout, extreme weather conditions, shortage of power or raw materials, actions by the authorities or other similar circumstances.

If the Client wishes to bring a claim for an error under this agreement, the Client shall inform Clear Channel of this without delay. The client may not cite errors later than 30 days after the end of the advertising period to which the error relates.

7. Payment.

Advertising space will be invoiced on the last working day before the first day of the agreed advertising period. Clear Channel reserves the right to require payment in advance. Payment must be received by Clear Channel 20 days after the invoice date. This also applies to advertising space hired on a long-term basis. In the event of late payment, penalty interest will be charged in accordance with the current Swedish interest act.
