The advertiser refers to the person or entity who owns or operates the property, or their agent, or the person who books or renews advertising, or maintains content of advertising, in GoHolidays.net websites. Advertising in all holiday accommodation directory websites published by GoHolidays.net, including publications within the internet domains stayinwales.co.uk, visitfrance.co.uk, 12go.co.uk, lakesonline.co.uk, myholidayplanner.co.uk and staysoon.co.uk - here also referred to as distribution channels - where response is configured to be delivered direct to the advertiser, is subject to these terms and conditions. BASIS OF SERVICE The publisher operates advertising services through the distribution of information on the internet. The fees charged are entirely 100% for the inclusion of the advertiser's content in one or more of the distribution channels for a fixed period agreed between the publisher and the advertiser. The advertiser is solely and entirely responsible for the text and image content of their advertisement. The publisher is not responsible for the creation of text content of new advertisements or amending the text content of existing advertisements. None of the fees charged (0%) are either for the provision of online update facilities, or for the provision of support for advertisers making use of any online update facilities. Whilst the publisher may at his discretion make available online update facilities, support for these is not necessarily provided. The publisher may withdraw such online update facilities, or revise their scope and functionality at any time and without notice. Any online update facilities are provided 'as is' and the publisher does not enter into correspondence on any aspect of such facilities. Where statistics are provided, the publisher will endeavour to ensure that they are an accurate representation of advertisement page views or website clickthroughs. Any statistics which are provided to advertisers should only be regarded as being indicative of page view or website clickthrough activity. The publisher does not make any guarantee about the accuracy of statistics. Due to data processing requirements there is usually a delay of 1 to 5 days between website activity and the availability of information relating to the activity in statistics. No charge is made for provision of statistics, and their provision or otherwise is at the discretion of the publisher. The publisher does not offer a support service for statistics, or enter into correspondence about statistics. Should the advertiser choose to make use of available online update facilities, the advertiser confirms that it understands the general principles of use of the internet, including knowledge of how to use web browser software including forms, cookies and browser caching, and how to use an e-mail programme to receive and send e-mail messages. To minimise the expenditure of staff time on non-financed services, the publisher will not respond to communications received by e-mail, telephone, post or in person regarding issues which are beyond the scope of the service provided. Support which could fairly be described as user training or consultancy will under no circumstances be provided. In cases where either are required, it is recommended that advertisers locate a suitable training provider or consultancy to fulfill their requirements. The publisher makes no guarantee that any specific search engine position will be acquired or retained for any particular page of the distribution channels.
