11.1. The Advertiser acknowledges and consents to its trading name, company name, address, and payment record being submitted to a credit reference agency (details of which shall be available upon request) for the purposes of obtaining a credit report. If the Advertiser is an individual, it accepts that and consents to GB News submitting and processing such details, together with its name and other required personal data to obtain such credit report. If the Advertiser is a partnership or individuals trading as an unincorporated business, this also applies to the partners in such partnership and the proprietors of such unincorporated business.

11.2. Unless otherwise agreed, no personal data will be transferred to the Advertiser by GB News pursuant to this Agreement. The transfer of any personal data by GB News to the Advertiser (in connection with this Campaign or otherwise) is subject to the Advertiser signing and complying with GB News’s standard data sharing agreement. Under no circumstances will personal data be transferred to the Advertiser unless the Advertiser signs such data sharing agreement and provides GB News with confirmation that it holds a valid registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

11.3. Each Party warrants that it shall comply with all relevant legislation and regulation governing the processing and transfer of personally identifiable data at all times. GB News shall be the data controller of such personal data.

12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The terms of this Agreement (but not its existence), and any other information notified by one party to the other as being confidential, shall be kept strictly confidential at all times, unless required by law, order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which event the disclosing party shall notify the other party as promptly as possible (and, if at all possible, prior to the making of any such disclosure) and shall use its reasonable commercial endeavours to ensure that such information continues to be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall be entitled to disclose any such confidential information on a “need-to-know” basis under the same obligations of confidentiality as in this Agreement, to its professional advisors, employees, officers, contractors, agents and affiliated companies.

13.1. If part of the Campaign is for sponsorship of a radio programme or feature, GB News reserves the right to cancel or suspend this element of the Campaign at any time. The Advertiser accepts that GB News may also alter its radio programming schedule over holiday periods. If the radio sponsorship element of the Campaign is to be cancelled, suspended or its radio programming schedule altered, GB News will endeavour to give the Advertiser prior notice and will always deliver the agreed number of Impacts.

13.2. The Advertiser must give GB News 3 months’ written notice, to be sent by recorded delivery, to cancel any sponsorship, during which time it will continue to pay GB News in accordance with clause 6.

14. GENERAL

14.1. In confirming its order (whether directly or indirectly) for the delivery of the Campaign pursuant to this Agreement, the Advertiser is indicating its acceptance of the terms set out herein.

14.2 Except as set out in these Conditions, no variation of the Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives).

14.3. The Buyer may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part.

14.4. These terms and conditions together with the Order Confirmation constitute the whole agreement between GB News and the Advertiser (and if the Buyer is acting on behalf of an Advertiser client, that Advertiser) concerning the Campaign and supersede all previous agreements relating to the same. If there is any conflict between these terms and conditions and the Order Confirmation, the Order Confirmation shall prevail.

14.5 If any provision or part-provision of the Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement.

14.6 A waiver of any right or remedy under the Agreement or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Agreement or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

14.7 The Advertiser may not assign transfer, mortgage, charge, subcontract, delegate, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part.

Any notice or communication shall be deemed to have been received (i) if delivered by hand, at the time the notice is left at the proper address; or (ii) if sent by pre-paid first-class post or other next working day delivery service, at 9.00 am on the second business day after posting.

14.11 A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no rights to enforce any of its terms whether under the Contracts (Rights of Thirds Parties) Act 1999, or otherwise.
