These terms apply whenever a business, charity, club or organisation books advertising on MarketDeeping.co.uk. By completing a booking you agree to the version of these terms shown at the time of your purchase; the version you accepted is recorded against your booking.
Eligibility
- Advertising is offered to businesses, charities, clubs and organisations.
- By booking, you confirm you are acting for a business, organisation or trade purpose, and that you are authorised to place advertising on behalf of the named business or organisation.
- This service is not intended as a personal consumer purchase.
Approval
- All adverts require approval before they go live.
- Payment is taken in full at checkout. This does not guarantee approval.
- Successful payment reserves your requested advertising dates.
- Your booking is then marked paid, awaiting review, and your advert stays hidden from visitors until it is approved.
- MarketDeeping.co.uk may request changes to submitted advert content before approving it.
- MarketDeeping.co.uk may reject an advert at its reasonable discretion.
- Where an advert is rejected, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method. See “Cancellations and refunds” below.
Advert content
By submitting an advert, you confirm that:
- The information you submit is accurate.
- You own, or have permission to use, the supplied text, logo and images.
- Any claims made in your advert are legal, honest and not misleading.
- Your destination website is safe and appropriate for visitors to click through to.
- Your advert does not infringe anyone’s intellectual property or privacy rights.
Prohibited content
We do not accept advertising for, or content involving:
- Illegal products or services
- Misleading or fraudulent claims
- Hate, harassment or discrimination
- Explicit adult content
- Weapons or dangerous products
- Unlicensed financial promotions
- Unlicensed gambling
- Controlled drugs
- Malware, phishing or unsafe websites
- Copyright or trademark infringement
- Content likely to damage the trust or local-community purpose of the website
We reserve the right to reject other content we reasonably consider unsuitable, even where it isn’t specifically listed above.
Political and election advertising: MarketDeeping.co.uk does not currently accept party-political or election advertising. This policy may be revisited in future, but is the default position for now.
Placement and appearance
- Your advert will appear in the defined site-wide advertising position on eligible pages of MarketDeeping.co.uk.
- Layout may vary by device and by page.
- We may make minor presentational changes to your advert for readability and consistency with the rest of the site.
- We do not guarantee a specific number of impressions, clicks, enquiries, sales or search-engine benefit from your advert.
Managing your booking
- You’ll receive email updates as your booking progresses: when it’s submitted, approved and scheduled, when it goes live, and when it completes (with a short performance summary). If we cancel or refund your booking, you’ll receive an email confirming that too.
- Each booking email includes a private, secure link where you can check your booking’s current status, see your advert preview, and (once your campaign has finished) its final performance figures. This link does not let you edit or cancel your booking directly, please contact us for that.
- We may make minor corrections to your advert’s title, description, destination link or image ourselves, for example to fix a broken link or an accidental formatting error, and will use reasonable efforts to let you know if we do.
- If your booked dates need to change (for example due to a rescheduling request from you, or an unavoidable clash), we will only move your booking to another period with the exact same number of days, and only after confirming the new dates are genuinely available. Your price is never changed as part of a date change.
- We do not guarantee a specific number of impressions or clicks. Where we report campaign figures back to you, they reflect what was actually measured on your campaign, not an estimate or an industry benchmark, and are not a guarantee of future performance.
Dates
- Bookings cover consecutive calendar dates.
- Start and end dates are both included in your booked period.
- Your advert is scheduled using UK time (Europe/London).
- You must submit suitable advert material, and respond to any requested changes, in good time before your booked start date.
- Delays caused by unsuitable or late advertiser material may affect the length of your campaign.
Payment
- Payment is a one-time charge for your booked advertising period, not a subscription.
- The full amount is taken by Stripe when you complete checkout, not on approval.
- Your booking then moves to paid, awaiting review, while we check your advert before it goes live.
- Stripe processes your card payment on our behalf. MarketDeeping.co.uk does not store your full card details.
Cancellations and refunds
- If your advert is rejected, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method. Refund arrival time may depend on Stripe, your card issuer and your bank.
- An approved future booking cancelled with reasonable notice before its start date may receive a refund.
- Once a campaign has begun, refunds are normally limited to unused days where cancellation has been agreed with us.
- Refunds may be issued in full or in part, at our discretion, and are returned to your original payment method via Stripe.
- If the website suffers material downtime affecting your campaign, we may extend your campaign or provide a proportionate refund.
- No refund is due where an advert is removed because it breaches these terms, except where required by law.
- If you believe you have made a duplicate or accidental payment, contact us and we will investigate promptly.
- Where a refund is due, we aim to process it within a reasonable time via the original payment method; you’ll receive an email confirming the amount once it’s issued.
Responsibility and liability
- You are responsible for the claims made in your advert and for the content of your destination website.
- An advert appearing on MarketDeeping.co.uk does not imply endorsement by MarketDeeping.co.uk.
- Our liability to you is reasonably limited, and, subject to applicable law, we are not liable for indirect losses, lost profits or expected sales arising from your advert.
- We are not liable for delay or failure caused by circumstances reasonably outside our control.
General terms
- If you need to change a submitted advert, contact us; changes may affect your review or start date.
- We will normally contact you using the email address you provide at booking.
- These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
- To contact us about advertising, see our Contact page.
- Terms version: 1.2. Last updated: 5 August 2026.
