Active Kids Online reserves the right to amend advertising rates at any time. Advertising rates will be honoured for a period of 21 days from submission of an advertising order form. If payment has not been made within 21 days from submission of the order form and rates have changed within the intervening time, the advertisement will be subject to the new rates.

Active Kids Online will not be liable for any loss resulting from delayed refunds.
Cancelling subscriptions for featured listings and advertisements
You may cancel at any time via your PayPal account or by emailing advertise@activekidsonline.co.uk. Your advertisement(s) will be removed when any remaining time already paid for has expired (or sooner on request).
Cancellation by Active Kids Online
Active Kids Online is a family-friendly site. If at any time an Advertiser or advertisement is no longer considered appropriate to be listed on Active Kids Online, the advertisement will be removed. Active Kids Online reserves the right to remove any listings or advertisements without notice or explanation. In the case of paid advertisements, Active Kids Online will inform the Advertiser in question as soon as practicable and will refund payment for any prepaid period.
Advertising positions
Advertising positions on any pages of Active Kids Online are allocated on a first come first served basis and at the sole discretion of Active Kids Online. Active Kids Online will try but cannot guarantee to offer an Advertiser's preferred position within the website. In particular, Active Kids Online reserves the right to editorial approval in determining the most appropriate location for an advertisement. Featured listings will only be placed in a directly relevant category. In the case of free listings (including those guaranteed as part of a paid advertising package) Active Kids Online has complete and sole discretion over the location of the listing. Free basic listings are organised by topic and listed strictly alphabetically (or chronologically for events). If payment is not made on time, Active Kids Online reserves the right to remove the advertisement without further notice to the Advertiser and the slot may be offered to another advertiser.
Timings
In most cases, advertisements will appear on the live web site within fifteen working days of receipt of payment and materials. In most cases this may be even sooner. However, there are occasionally delays and Active Kids Online accept no liability for any loss of business or difficulties arising from any delay. If timing is very important (e.g. imminent event or product launch) please contact Active Kids Online well in advance. In such circumstances Active Kids Online will make every effort to ensure your timescale is met. However, we cannot guarantee this. Once or twice a year Active Kids Online website is "frozen" for a limited period. During this time the web site remains online as usual but no additions or changes are made to the site.
Accuracy
Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of material including advertisements within the Active Kids Online website. However, Active Kids Online accepts no liability for any loss or damage howsoever caused as a result of any errors or omissions. As soon as the advertisement goes online you will be notified via email. Advertisers must check their advertisement immediately and inform Active Kids Online of any errors to be amended. All amendments will be made as quickly as possible by Active Kids Online. If the error is Active Kids Online's fault, your advertisement period will not start until the error is corrected.
Changes and amendments
Advertisers may make changes to advertisements at any time. Changes will be made within fifteen working days and in most cases this may be even sooner. However, there are occasionally delays and Active Kids Online accepts no liability for any loss of business or difficulties arising from any delay.
Intellectual property rights
By supplying any materials including logos, trade names, copy, images, photographs etc. to Active Kids Online, you are guaranteeing that you have all licenses, rights and approvals to use these materials and that you agree to indemnify Active Kids Online for the full amount of any claims and reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with such claims brought by any third party for breach of intellectual property rights.

Downtime
Active Kids Online is an AS IS service and cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for problems arising from temporary or permanent unavailability of the site. Active Kids Online will make every effort to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the website. However, as with all technology, it is possible that there may be failures from time to time which are beyond Active Kids Online’s control. Where it is shown that the downtime has lasted for a period of 7 days or more, and it is shown that this is the fault of Active Kids Online, your advertisement time will be extended free for charge for the time the advertisement was offline. For example if Active Kids Online were offline for 10 days, you would receive 10 days free advertising at the end of the existing advertisement contract. In the even less likely event of Active Kids Online being offline permanently, advertisers would be entitled to a refund for any prepaid period.
