Any infringement of a third party copyright or trade mark, or legal claim arising from any such infringement will be borne by the Advertiser; as will any costs incurred for said infringement.
If the Advertiser should fail to make payment at the due time and subsequent contact is not satisfactory, the Website reserves the right to apply the "industry standard" for debt recovery. This will incur additional costs and suspension of advertising display time at our discretion.
