APodA Advertising and Classifieds Policy

ADVERTISING POLICY

The Australian Podiatry Association and member associations, as publishers, assert these publisher rights and discretions across all of their communications platforms, digital and print.

PUBLISHERS’ RIGHTS
Every advertisement or promotion submitted for consideration is subject to the publishers’ approval.

GENERALLY
The publishers may at their absolute discretion and at any time:
• Refuse to publish or distribute any advertisement without giving any reason (in which case, no charge to advertiser will be incurred)
• Cancel a campaign booking (in which case, no charge to the advertiser will be incurred for the unpublished portion of the campaign)
• Head an advertisement ‘Advertisement’ or ‘Advertising Feature’
• The publishers will refuse or withdraw from publication any advertising at any time that, in the opinion of the publisher, is illegal, defamatory, offensive, or obscene

IN PARTICULAR
The publishers will consider:
• If the products, services or activities are consistent with APodA’s health messages
• If there a possibility the products, services or activities, might serve to bring APodA into disrepute
• Whether the messages are misleading, exaggerated and/or open to misinterpretation; or contrary to accepted podiatry practice; or fail to conform to appropriate Government standards
• If the product, service or activity is such that its successful promotion might have a negative impact on the interests of the Australian Podiatry Association, or member associations, or the members of the member associations
