Important commercial terms
Bookings are subject to written acceptance and a signed Advertising Services Agreement. No invoice or Stripe payment link is issued before both parties sign. Advertisers are responsible for their advertisements, claims, licences, offers, linked pages, products, services, fulfilment and dealings with customers. SouthStradbroke.co may reject or remove material that is inaccurate, unsafe, unlawful, incompatible with the site’s standards or likely to mislead. Payment never changes editorial coverage, removes criticism or buys a favourable review.
Stripe handles the secure card checkout. SouthStradbroke.co does not receive or store the customer’s full card number.
