(2) In case of doubt, advertisements must be called off for publication within one year of conclusion of the contract.
(3) No guarantee is given for the inclusion of advertisements in specific issues or in specific places in the print or digital edition, unless the client has expressly made the validity of the order dependent on this. Space agreements shall only be binding if the price stated in the advertising rate and expressly stated in the confirmation is accepted for this purpose. If the stated closing dates for advertisements are exceeded, special space agreements shall no longer be binding.
