Advertising Terms and Conditions

Our advertising Terms state:

To fully understand our terms and conditions in relation to our advertising, it is important to understand the spirit in which these terms and conditions have been introduced.

It is not, in any way, in the interest of DIY Doctor Ltd for your advertising to fail. DIY Doctor Ltd relies on customers re-booking their advertising. It is considerably cheaper for us, as it is for any company, to resell to existing customers rather than to constantly have to find new ones.

To these ends we will work very hard to ensure that your advertising works for you but in order that you receive the maximum benefit from your advertising you should be prepared to work with us. DIY Doctor is a huge website with over 20,000 pages and it is impossible to monitor all of these pages every day. We therefore state that for any advertising to reach its full potential we strongly advise that each advertiser contact DIY Doctor Ltd once every month to feedback the results of their advertising. This allows us to work with you throughout your contract to obtain the very best conversion rates for your advertising.

It is standard business practice to measure the results of money spent on marketing and advertising. If a business’s do not know where their customers come from, and how much they spend, they will continue to spend money on marketing and advertising which does not work and thereby lose money. For us to help you make the most from your advertising it is essential you work with us.

• Unless otherwise agreed – and confirmed in written form – by both parties, any contract with DIY Doctor Ltd is for a minimum contractual period of 12 months.
• All Payments must be made within 14 Days from date of Invoice, unless a payment arrangement for a standing order has been previously agreed. Any arrangement to pay by standing order carries the understanding that the company invoiced will make all 12 payments. Failure to make one of these payments will result contract in the total balance of the contract becoming immediately due and payable. Court proceedings will begin 14 days after a missed payment unless agreement is reached.
• Where a discount is given on advertising sums, for payment with 14 days of invoice but the discounted sum arrives later than the allotted 14 days, the same, proportional amount of time shall be deducted from the Company’s advertising period.
• To continue advertising at the end of the initial 12-month period, no action is necessary. Our standing order forms include a pre-ticked box which allows payment to continue until further notice. You must notify your bank if you wish to discontinue payment.
• DIY Doctor Ltd will require a notice period of one month in order for any termination of an additional contract to become effective. If you terminate the contract but forget to cancel your payments with your bank, you will incur a £50 administration charge from DIY Doctor Ltd for each payment which needs to be returned. For more information please see our advertising Refund and Cancellation policy for Advertising below
• DIY Doctor Ltd will maintain the best publication service possible for the website www.diydoctor.org.uk. Customers will be notified of intentional down time made necessary for improvements to be made on the service. DIY Doctor Ltd does not take responsibility for failure, breakdowns or downtime outside of Company control.
• Advertising can be updated twice during the 12 Month advertising period at no additional cost. All further updates to projects will be charged at £75.00 plus VAT per update.
• There are no cash alternatives to these terms and conditions..
• If a customer is offered discount for early payment and that discount takes the total amount spent to under £900.00 plus VAT the full terms and conditions still apply.
• If a customer is offered a percentage discount for payment within 14 days of invoice and the fee fails to arrive within that period, the same percentage will be deducted from the advertising period on offer.
• Customers taking advertising from DIY Doctor Ltd under our terms and conditions should not place competitive advertising on the same search engine page or pages as any of their DIY Doctor advertising. It is not in the customer’s interest to dilute the effect of their advertising with DIY Doctor Ltd and your advertising with us will not realise its full potential if you have other advertising for the same or similar products on the same page or pages. Paying for a Google “Adword” insertion on the same page as your DIY Doctor advertising is totally counter-productive.
• If, during the contract period major alterations are made to the advertising content to benefit the customer or to measure statistical analysis there may be a period where the customer does not receive full value for money with regard to the content of their advertising. In these situations the original contract will be extended to ensure that the customer receives a full contract with website content they have authorised.
• If a complaint relating to any advertiser is received by DIY Doctor, DIY Doctor will offer the advertiser the complaint information (without disclosing the contact details of the complainant) and ask the advertiser for their defense of the complaint. If no defense is forthcoming, or the defense is adjudged to be unacceptable the advertiser will be removed from the site with no recourse to refund of any advertising fees paid.
• Advertising creative must be supplied by customers. Format will be advised. DIY Doctor Ltd can provide creative at a cost of £75.00 per hour plus VAT. Simple creative is complete within 1 hour.
• Customer required Linking URLs must be given, in writing or by email, to DIY Doctor Ltd for inclusion in any advertising. If no URL is specified, DIY Doctor Ltd will link to the home page of the advertiser’s website.
• Customers are responsible for checking their advertising after publication and reporting errors of any kind to DIY Doctor Ltd. Notice must be given, and URLs approved, of any redirects to any links given to DIY Doctor Ltd.
• Any changes made to the customer website which could affect linking or contextual relevance must be reported to DIY Doctor Ltd in order for us to re link or list the new or appropriate pages. If dead links and changes are not reported to DIY Doctor Ltd by the advertiser DIY Doctor will not be held responsible for any time during which advertising is non effective due to broken or changed links..
• Advertisers should be able to show that they have systems in place to record the origin of a customer not visiting them via their website. DIY Doctor Ltd will occasionally make "Mystery Shopper" approaches to its advertisers to understand the standard of customer service. No notice or warning will be given but a report will be offered after such an approach.
• Advertisers should be able to show how they record sales from web advertising and how they can prove the effectiveness of their advertising programs. This applies to individual telephone sales and all other forms of mail order as well as direct web site approaches.
• In the event of a complaint about our advertising, the ability of your site to convert visitors into customers will be considered. As is usual business practice in a web based business you must be able to show accurate records of your conversion rates. If DIY Doctor Ltd has sent you a substantial amount of users but you have failed to convert them into customers your complaint will not be investigated.. Our advertising is sold to create a volume of traffic to send to the advertiser’s websites and not a guarantee that they will make sales to these visitors. Sales are the responsibility of the advertiser.
• Sales from DIY Doctor Ltd advertising will occur after advertising contract is finished. Before complaining against DIY Doctor advertising, a 60 day (2 month) period must be allowed to relapse after the contract termination date in order to establish the full effect of the advertising. Full records must continue to be kept during this additional 2 month period. If bad advertising is proven after this period DIY Doctor will make an offer to the advertiser.
• Monthly page view statistics can be requested from DIY Doctor pertaining to the page/pages you are advertising on. Click through statistics are the responsibility of the advertiser and we strongly suggest a proprietary landing page be set up to receive DIY Doctor users. This makes conversion measurement easy. To obtain retrospective statistics any older than the end of the month previous to the current month payment of £50 per hour must be made. A minimum charge of £150 will be made.
• No advertising will be published without acknowledgement from the customer that they have read the terms and conditions above. The acknowledgment is shown by ticking the appropriate box on your contract.
• By default, DIY Doctor carries Google Ads on every page. Also by default, our project pages carry tools and materials from various companies we have an association with. This type of advertising can be removed in favour of an independent advertiser but by agreement only and there may be a charge.

Please also note the Google Webmaster Policy (below) which DIY Doctor follows as a matter of course: Please click on the link to see the full text.

Google Help  (Excerpts from Google Webmaster site for the benefit of DIY Doctor Advertisers)

Paid links

Google and most other search engines use links to determine reputation. A site’s ranking in Google search results is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to it. Link-based analysis is an extremely useful way of measuring a site’s value, and has greatly improved the quality of web search. Both the quantity and, more importantly, the quality of links count towards this rating.

However, some SEOs and webmasters engage in the practice of buying and selling links that pass PageRank, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites. Buying or selling links that pass PageRank is in violation of Google’s webmaster guidelines and can negatively impact a site’s ranking in search results.

Not all paid links violate our guidelines. Buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web when done for advertising purposes, and not for manipulation of search results. Links purchased for advertising should be designated as such. This can be done in several ways, such as:

• Adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to the <a> tag
• Adding a rel="sponsored" attribute to the <a> tag
• Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file

"Google works hard to ensure that it fully discounts links intended to manipulate search engine results, such excessive link exchanges and purchased links that pass PageRank. If you see a site that is buying or selling links that pass PageRank, let us know. We’ll use your information to improve our algorithmic detection of such links".

General

These Terms and Conditions are agreed between you and us. No person other than Buckworth Solicitors shall have any rights under or connection with these Terms and Conditions under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

If any court or competent authority decides that any term of these Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term shall, to that extent only, be severed from the remaining terms, which shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the extent or scope of such section.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision and will not relieve you from the obligation to comply with such provision.

You are not permitted to assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of your rights under these Terms and Conditions without our prior express written consent. 

These Terms and Conditions set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and DIY Doctor with respect to the subject matter hereof.

We have the right to change or adjust these terms and conditions as and when required. Any changes made may be made to reflect current market conditions, changes in our business structure, condictions affecting our business, changes in payment vendor, changes in technology or even changes in relevant laws and regulations and any other changes effecting our business. From time to time it may be necessary to change these terms and conditions as required by law or by government bodies.
