Content of Advertisements

Advertising should not contain material that Going Out considers to constitute or promote discrimination. No adult material, gambling or tobacco advertising will be accepted. We’d like to keep our sponsors as relevant to our core values as possible

Going Out reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertising at any time.

Agreement

We require a letter from the advertiser or agent, ordering the advertising at least three days before the advertising is scheduled to run.

Payment

Payment for all insertions must be made in advance, in local currency (South African Rands – ZAR)
