PR Publisher T&C

These are the terms upon which BizNewsSelect.Com accepts media releases for publication, and the publisher application form.

1. This agreement is made between Vortex Centrum Limited, a UK corporation, full legal and corporate information relating to which is at www.antimoneylaundering.net, referred to in this agreement as VCL and the person who submits an application for to be a publisher in VCL's platform services. In this agreement, that person is referred to as "you."

2. BizNewsSelect.Com is a service of VCL. It is a publishing platform. This means that the person submitting material for publication is the legal owner and publisher of that material, and has all the rights, responsibilities, benefits and liabilities that arise from that publication. Therefore you expressly agree to hold harmless and fully indemnify VCL, its owners, officers, staff, suppliers, subcontractors and affiliates against any loss or expense that may arise out of your use of the BizNewsSelect.Com platform, including any damages and legal costs incurred in the defence of any court action.

3. You agree not to publish any material that is or may be regarded as defamatory, scandalous, pornographic, seditious, heretical (of any organised religion), profane (ditto) or inflammatory or contains a link to any such.

4. You agree not to publish any material which is subject to third party intellectual property rights. In particular, you agree that you will not claim to be entitled to so do by any claimed "fair use" provision whether created or implied by any statute or otherwise.

5. You agree not to publish any material which promotes any illegal activity. In order to define a line, BizNewsSelect.Com will reject any material which has the primary purpose of promoting a stock or the sale of drugs, HYIP, get-rich-quick schemes and such other material as VCL in its absolute discretion may elect to reject for publication as potentially illegal. You agree not to submit any material which is primarily an opinion piece or spam, or an exhortation to purchase a product or service.

6. The service is priced according to usage thresholds. If the threshold is exceeded, no further publications will be permitted until a new threshold is created. In groups of companies, each company is a discrete company. However, divisions of a company which are not separate corporations are regarded as part of that company.

7. No person may access the pre-publication platform unless and until their application to be a publisher has been approved and payment made for the service level selected.

8. VCL does not censor or edit your media release. It is a service for PR professionals and therefore we do not presume to tell you how to write an effective or legal press release. However, if VCL in its absolute considers it to be inappropriate, or in breach of the letter or spirit of these conditions, it will be rejected without compensation. The reasons for this may include but are not limited to:

a) failure to comply with regulatory requirements e.g. to include statutory notices for publicly traded companies in certain markets.
b) if your release contains links to gateway websites (e.g. a catch-all that simply diverts to another website) unless there is a clear and obvious reason for so doing.
c) if your press release contains manifest errors of fact or in its writing, including significant errors in grammar and spelling.
d) if your press release includes or directs readers to a place to find material in which a third party holds intellectual property
e) if your press release is viewed by BizNewsSelect.Com as having no or insufficient news value.

9. BizNewsSelect.Com publishes press releases by category and sub-category, most recent first. BizNewsSelect.Com does not divide by country. However, country-specific releases can be isolated by using the in-site search engine.

10. You may place an embargo on your release: media releases will be published at, or very shortly after the embargo time.

11. It is desirable to submit your press releases during the period 00:01 Monday to 12:00 Friday GMT ( BizNewsSelect.Com's working week) and to submit your releases at least one full working day before you wish it to appear.

12. All BizNewsSelect.Com times are GMT.

13. When your registration is accepted, you will be provided with access codes for the pre-publication platform. You will then have access to details of how to use the pre-publication platform, and editorial guidelines for PR published via BizNewsSelect.Com.

14. In the launch phase of BizNewsSelect.Com, your releases are part of the standard output of The Chief Officers' Network at www.chiefofficers.net and Banking Insurance Securities at www.bankinginsurancesecurities.com. This means that your releases are fully accessible to all of our readers, including media. However, BizNewsSelect.Com plans to restrict access to bona fide journalists and to make additional services available once the service reaches a critical mass. The more customers for the service and the more releases they make, the sooner that critical mass will be reached.

15. Why can't we upload graphics? This is part of the launch-phase restrictions. It's not a restriction on you, but on the readers. We want to protect your IP in your logos and photos from abuse and the best way of doing that is to make sure that they are not made available other than to registered bona fide journalists. This service, within limits, will not incur additional cost for publishers when it is activated.

16. Payment for all services is made in advance of the service activation. Payment may be made by via Google Checkout or bank transfer. If payment is made by bank transfer, then charges levied by transmitting, correspondent and receiving bank must be met by the you. For this purpose, a flat rate charge of GBP25 is added to your invoice for payment of receiving bank's charges.

17. Payment is billed and paid in sterling.

18. UK VAT will be added to your invoice where required by taxation laws.

19. BizNewsSelect.Com is a trading division of Vortex Centrum Limited, an English corporation. This contract is subject to English law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The place of execution of the agreement is deemed to be London EC2. Vortex Centrum Limited is a subsidiary of The Anti Money Laundering Network Limited, a Hong Kong corporation.
