Where this happens, Navingo will distribute all ‘overs’ at the next suitable opportunity (usually the next day or next available date arranged with the print sites). The Advertiser will be liable for the full cost of the Insert order. In no event will Navingo be liable for loss arising from failure to insert or any errors in the insertion of Inserts 

F Liability of Navingo 

30. Navingo accepts no responsibility for any interruption or delay the Advertiser experiences in delivering any Advertisement copy to Navingo or any loss or damage to any Advertisement copy or any other materials.

31. Navingo shall use its reasonable endeavours to reproduce Advertisements as provided by the Advertiser but cannot guarantee that the Advertisement will be of the same quality. 

34. Navingo cannot guarantee the time, dates and/or position of Advertisements and all such decisions will be at the sole discretion of Navingo. However, Navingo will use reasonable efforts to comply with the wishes of the Advertiser. 

35. If a booked Advertisement is not published at all solely due to a mistake on Navingo’s part, Navingo will try to offer an alternative publication date(s).

This shall be the Advertiser’s sole remedy for failure to publish the advertisement.

37. Navingo shall not be responsible, under any circumstances, for any loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of anticipated saving, loss of revenue and/or any other loss which happens as a side effect of the main loss suffered by the Advertiser or any loss which could not be contemplated by Navingo and the Advertiser, and Navingo’s maximum total liability for any loss or damage arising out of or in relation to any Advertisement whether in contract, tort or otherwise shall not exceed the total amount of the charges for the relevant Advertisement actually paid by or on behalf of the Advertiser. 

38. In respect of Advertisements on the Websites, Navingo does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted access by users of the Website but will use reasonable efforts to provide this. In addition, Navingo will not be responsible for any failure or delay affecting production or publication of any magazine or the transmission of the Website and any Advertisements contained in them, in any manner where such failure or delay results from any act, omission, interruption, fault or other condition beyond the reasonable control of Navingo. 

39. For non-flat Rates, the amount owed will be calculated based on Navingo’s tracking mechanisms. Navingo is not responsible for click fraud, technological issues or other potentially invalid activity by third parties that may affect the cost of running advertisements. Your exclusive remedy for suspected invalid activity is to make a claim within 90 days of the date of that activity, and Navingo’s exclusive liability is in Navingo’s sole discretion, to issue a partial refund or advertising credit for the amount of the suspected invalid activity. 

40. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms will limit or exclude Navingo’s responsibility for death or personal injury resulting from its own negligence, fraud or any other liability that cannot be excluded. 

41. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall affect the statutory rights of an Advertiser who is a consumer. 

G Liability of the Advertiser 

42.
