conditions in any other correspondence or other document or by any oral representation or statement made by on or

behalf of the company unless agreed in writing by the leaflet sales manager.

Delivery:

The company will use its best endeavours to distribute the material within its distribution system. These not necessarily

imply 100% penetration of all address within the area. Our usual coverage would be deemed at 80 – 85 % of any given area

inside the 50KLM of a named town land/delivery zone. This may exclude main roads and some apartments. If you require a

particular road or house covering for your promotion, please check with sales agent before placing order to ensure it is

included in our delivery rounds. Items will be distributed on a shared basis unless otherwise agreed in writing by a Leaflet

Company Ireland member and material will delivered alongside non-related material that Leaflet Company Ireland deem to

be non-competitive . Leaflet Company Ireland guarantees 80% delivery of items into designated areas based on response

from level of beck checks carried out by Leaflet Company Ireland for which all distribution results are measured. These

results are final and by engaging the services you are agreeing to this in terms of usage and cannot be challenged by the

client or their agent. Your rate per thousand also includes the time taken to walk 1000 homes within each of your

distribution locations and does not constitute that a 1000 leaflets will be delivered into those 1000 homes in regards to

non-delivery or Junk mail opt out households.

1: If for any “proven” reason the company fails to meet these distribution standards, then the company shall reimburse the

client for the amount of disputed leaflets on the paid-for “rate per 1000” .This will only be done where negligence on

behalf of the company has been proven.

be held liable or responsible for the re-print or replacement of leaflet material or any sub sequential loss incurred by the

client or any third party.

related to the item are met and comply with the rules and regulation set out by Irish advertising standards authority. In

this context it should be noted that it is a legal requirement that all newspapers, leaflets, supplements etc. intended for

distribution shall contain the name and address of the printer. The company will have recourse to the client for any legal

action taken against the company that directly relates to the form or content of item distributed.

4: The company cannot nor will not guarantee any response levels for the leaflet distribution. It should be noted that low

recall does not and cannot suggest low distribution efficiency.

5: The Leaflet Company Ireland will supply clients (upon written request) with back-checks carried out by the Leaflet

Company Ireland. These will be available two working days after the completion of distribution. These checks are the only

way that Leaflet Company Ireland can monitor all distribution work. By engaging the services of Leaflet Company Ireland,

the client agrees that these results are the “agreed” way of Leaflet Company Ireland monitoring distribution levels and

accept their findings.

fully with any legal party representing a specific client claiming that the customer is in fact in legal breech of copyright,

trademark or any other claim arising from the material that is being distributed by the company on behalf of the client.
