General Terms and Conditions for Online Advertising

Navingo Online

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all online advertising, recruitment and promotional services provided by Navingo Online (comprising the websites www.maritiemevacaturebank.nl, www.offshore-energy.biz, www.offshorewind.biz, www.dredgingtoday.com, www.navaltoday.com), including but not limited to campaigns on its websites, newsletters, vacancy platforms and related digital channels.

1. Applicability

These terms apply to all quotations, orders, agreements and campaigns between Navingo Online and the advertiser, agency or any other party placing an order. Any purchasing or other terms of the advertiser are excluded, unless agreed otherwise in writing.

2. Quotations and Agreement

All quotations issued by Navingo Online are non-binding and valid for 14 days, unless stated otherwise in the quotation.

An agreement is concluded once the quotation has been signed or confirmed in writing by the advertiser, including by email. After signature or written approval, Navingo Online may start preparing the campaign and issue the invoice.

3. Invoicing and Payment

The invoice will be issued after signature or written approval of the quotation.

Payment must be made in euros and within 30 days from the invoice date, unless agreed otherwise in writing. All prices are stated in euros and exclude VAT, unless stated otherwise.

The advertiser is not entitled to suspend payment or offset any amounts without prior written approval from Navingo Online.

4. Campaign Delivery

Navingo Online will make reasonable efforts to deliver the agreed campaign as described in the quotation. Delivery may include, depending on the agreed package, website banners, newsletter banners, branded content, vacancy listings, employer branding content or other online advertising products.

If agreed impressions, clicks, publication dates or placements cannot be delivered exactly as planned due to technical, editorial or operational circumstances, Navingo Online may offer a reasonable alternative, such as an adjusted planning, alternative placement or campaign extension. Navingo Online can not be held accountable for placing this alternative and any immediate or potential detriment.

5. Advertising Material

The advertiser is responsible for delivering all required advertising material, including banners, text, images, links, logos and other campaign assets, on time and according to the requested specifications.

If the advertiser does not deliver the required material or approvals on time, this does not release the advertiser from its payment obligation. Navingo Online has the right to postpone the campaign when such delay occurs. If postponement is not possible, or if campaign inventory or publication slots have already been reserved, the agreed campaign fee may still be charged in full.

The advertiser guarantees that all supplied material is accurate, lawful and does not infringe any rights of third parties, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, privacy rights or advertising regulations.

6. Changes and Cancellations

Any changes or cancellations must be requested by email and will be replied to within 3 working days.

Website banner campaigns and branded content campaigns can be cancelled free of charge up to 15 working days before the agreed start date or publication date, provided that no production, editorial, technical or third-party costs have already been incurred.

If a website banner campaign or branded content campaign is cancelled less than 15 working days before the agreed start date or publication date, Navingo Online has the right to charge 50% of the agreed campaign value.

Newsletter campaigns can be cancelled free of charge up to 20 working days before the scheduled send date, provided that no production, editorial, technical or third-party costs have already been incurred.

If a newsletter campaign is cancelled less than 20 working days before the scheduled send date, Navingo Online may charge 100% of the agreed campaign value, as the newsletter position has been reserved and may no longer be resold.

If a campaign is cancelled on or after the start date, after publication, or after delivery has started, Navingo Online may charge 100% of the agreed campaign value.

Any production, editorial, technical or third-party costs already incurred by Navingo Online will always be charged to the advertiser, regardless of the cancellation date.

7. Approval and Corrections

Where previews or proofs are shared, the advertiser is responsible for checking and approving the content, links, visuals and campaign details.

After approval, Navingo Online is not liable for errors that were visible in the approved material. Corrections requested after approval or after the campaign has started will only be made if reasonably possible.

8. Right to Refuse or Suspend

Navingo Online reserves the right to refuse, suspend or remove advertising material or campaigns if, in its opinion, the content is unlawful, misleading, harmful, inappropriate, conflicts with editorial standards or may damage the reputation of Navingo Online or its platforms.

In such cases, the advertiser remains responsible for payment of any costs already incurred or services already delivered.

9. Online Reporting and Measurements

For online campaigns, the reporting and measurement systems used by Navingo Online are leading, unless agreed otherwise in writing.

Small differences between measurement systems may occur and do not automatically give the advertiser the right to compensation, refund or campaign extension.

10. Liability

Navingo Online is not liable for indirect damage, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, reputational damage or missed business opportunities.

If Navingo Online is liable for any direct damage, its liability is limited to the amount paid by the advertiser for the specific campaign or service to which the claim relates.

11. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights relating to Navingo Online’s websites, newsletters, platforms, formats, designs, data, reports, concepts and editorial content remain the property of Navingo Online or its licensors.

The advertiser grants Navingo Online the right to use supplied material for the execution and promotion of the agreed campaign.

12. Privacy and Data

Both parties will comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws.

The advertiser is responsible for ensuring that any tracking, links, landing pages or data collection connected to the campaign comply with applicable laws and regulations.

13. Force Majeure

Navingo Online is not liable for delays or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including technical failures, website downtime, internet disruptions, cyber incidents, force majeure events, supplier issues or other unforeseen circumstances.

In such cases, Navingo Online may reschedule, adjust or suspend the campaign where reasonably necessary and possible.

14. Complaints

Complaints about campaign delivery must be submitted in writing within 7 days after the start of the campaign or, for one-off placements, within 7 days after publication.

Complaints about invoices must be submitted in writing within 14 days after the invoice date. A complaint does not suspend the advertiser’s payment obligation.

15. Governing Law

These terms and all agreements with Navingo Online are governed by Dutch law. Any disputes will be submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands.

16. Final Provisions

Any deviations from these terms are only valid if agreed in writing.

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
