We will, subject to availability, technical limitations, and these Terms and Conditions, use our reasonable endeavours to publish your advertising material in the format you submitted or written and designed in accordance with your other instructions. The positioning or placement and final copyediting of your featured content and/or advertisement will be at our discretion unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.
A 50% deposit is required within 14 days of your application to secure your placement with Barbers of Sydney. The remaining balance is due by September 30, 2025, or 3 months before publication, whichever comes first. An invoice will be sent upon completion. Please note that placement is not guaranteed until the deposit is received, and spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

You acknowledge that we are entitled to publish your advertisement anywhere in the world via any medium. We may, without prior consultation or notice to you, amend your advertisement in any way whatsoever if we believe that the publication of your advertisement would be offensive, in breach of any law, in breach of any pre-existing agreement we have with a third party or in breach of a third parties right. If we amend your advertisement, this will not reduce the price agreed for the publication of the advertisement. We reserve the right to vary the placement or positioning of your advertisement and change the format of your advertisement where we deem fit. We will endeavour to notify you of those changes.
