Advertising & Commercial Terms

Last updated: 3 September 2026

These Advertising & Commercial Terms apply to paid advertising, featured listings, promoted events, sponsored content and other commercial services purchased from Kent Lifestyle Magazine.

Kent Lifestyle Magazine is operated by Greenacre Ventures Limited.

By placing an order for a commercial service, you agree to these terms in addition to our Terms & Conditions.

Commercial Services

Services may include:

• Featured business listings.
• Featured or promoted event listings.
• Display advertising.
• Sponsored or promoted articles.
• Newsletter placements.
• Social media promotion.
• Directory enhancements.
• Other promotional packages agreed with us.

The exact services included will be those described on the website, order page, proposal, quotation or other written confirmation provided when you purchase.

Orders and Payment

Prices will be displayed or agreed before an order is completed.

Unless otherwise stated, payment is required in advance.

Where VAT is applicable, it will be charged at the appropriate rate.

An order is accepted once payment has been successfully received or we otherwise confirm acceptance in writing.

Featured Business and Event Listings

A Featured listing provides additional promotional visibility compared with a standard listing.

The precise placement of Featured listings may vary according to the page, device, category, location, date, availability and design of the website.

A Featured listing does not guarantee:

• A specific number of page views or impressions.
• A specific position at all times.
• Clicks, enquiries, bookings or sales.
• Search engine rankings.
• Inclusion within independent editorial articles.
• Any particular commercial result.

We may change the layout or presentation of the website while continuing to provide substantially equivalent promotional exposure.

Advertising Material

Advertisers are responsible for supplying any copy, images, logos, links and other material required for their campaign in the format and timeframe requested.

You confirm that material supplied by you:

• Is accurate and not misleading.
• Does not infringe copyright, trademark or other third-party rights.
• Complies with applicable UK advertising and consumer protection requirements.
• Does not contain unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory or harmful material.
• Does not promote unlawful products, services or activities.
• Includes any permissions required for individuals appearing in photographs or other media.

We may refuse, edit or request changes to advertising material where reasonably necessary.

Advertising Standards

Advertisers remain responsible for ensuring claims contained within their advertising can be substantiated and comply with applicable laws, regulations and advertising standards.

Kent Lifestyle Magazine may reject or remove advertising which we reasonably believe may breach applicable advertising standards, consumer protection requirements or other legal obligations.

Identification of Paid Content

Advertising and sponsored material will be identified where appropriate so that its commercial nature is clear to readers.

Labels may include wording such as:

• Advertisement
• Sponsored
• Featured
• Promoted
• Advertisement Feature

The exact label used will depend on the nature and presentation of the placement.

Advertisers may not request that we conceal the commercial nature of content where disclosure is required.

Sponsored Editorial

Where Kent Lifestyle Magazine creates sponsored editorial content on behalf of an advertiser, we may edit the material to maintain readability, house style, accuracy and compliance.

Sponsored editorial remains commercial content and will be identified accordingly where required.

Unless specifically agreed otherwise, purchasing sponsored content does not give the advertiser control over Kent Lifestyle Magazine’s independent editorial coverage.

Affiliate Relationships

Kent Lifestyle Magazine may earn commissions from qualifying purchases, bookings or ticket sales generated through affiliate links.

An affiliate relationship does not guarantee positive editorial coverage, and editorial decisions remain separate from affiliate arrangements unless content is expressly commissioned as advertising or sponsored material.

Campaign Dates and Availability

Commercial placements are subject to availability.

Where an agreed campaign has specific start and end dates, we will take reasonable steps to publish the placement during that period.

We are not responsible for delays caused by the advertiser failing to provide materials, approvals or information by an agreed deadline.

If publication is delayed because of a failure on our part, we may extend the campaign or provide an equivalent placement where appropriate.

Amendments

Reasonable amendments may be requested before publication.

Once a campaign or listing is live, significant changes may be subject to additional charges where they require substantial design, editorial or development work.

Minor factual corrections will normally be made without additional charge.

Cancellations and Refunds

Where a service has not yet commenced, cancellation requests will be considered according to the nature of the service and any work already undertaken.

Once a Featured listing or advertising campaign has gone live, payments are generally non-refundable except where required by law or where we are unable to provide the purchased service.

For bespoke sponsored content, design or campaign preparation, we may deduct the reasonable value of work already completed from any refund.

Nothing in this section limits any statutory rights that apply to you.

Event Cancellation

Purchasing a Featured Event promotion does not make Kent Lifestyle Magazine responsible for the event itself.

If an event is cancelled, postponed or materially changed, the organiser should notify us as soon as possible.

We may update or remove the listing accordingly.

Promotional fees are not automatically refundable because an event has been cancelled or postponed by the organiser. However, at our discretion, we may transfer remaining promotional exposure to a rescheduled date or another eligible event where reasonable.

Approval and Removal

We reserve the right to refuse or remove commercial material where it:

• Breaches these terms.
• Contains materially inaccurate or misleading information.
• Creates a legal or regulatory risk.
• Is inappropriate for the Kent Lifestyle Magazine audience.
• Could reasonably damage the reputation or integrity of the publication.

Where possible, we will give the advertiser an opportunity to correct the issue before removing an active placement.

Performance and Reporting

Any statistics, forecasts or estimated audience figures supplied before a campaign are indicative unless expressly guaranteed in writing.

Website traffic and engagement naturally vary.

We do not guarantee any particular number of enquiries, bookings, sales, leads, clicks or other commercial outcomes.

Where reporting forms part of a purchased package, the metrics supplied will be based on the data reasonably available to us.

Editorial Independence

Payment for advertising does not purchase favourable independent editorial coverage.

Our editorial team retains discretion over what is covered editorially and how independent editorial content is written.

Where an advertiser has paid for the content itself, that content will be treated as commercial or sponsored material rather than independent editorial.

Intellectual Property

Advertisers retain ownership of material they provide to us.

You grant Kent Lifestyle Magazine permission to use, resize, reproduce, format and publish supplied material for the purposes of delivering and promoting the purchased campaign.

Any original layouts, graphics, written content or other creative materials produced by Kent Lifestyle Magazine remain our intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

To the extent permitted by law, Kent Lifestyle Magazine will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of anticipated revenue, loss of opportunity or losses resulting from an advertiser’s own inaccurate or unlawful material.

Our total liability relating to a particular commercial order will not exceed the amount paid to us for that order, except where such a limitation would be unlawful.

Changes to Commercial Services

We continually develop the Kent Lifestyle Magazine website and may change the layout, design or functionality of advertising locations.

Where an active paid campaign is affected, we will take reasonable steps to maintain substantially equivalent promotional value.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
