CONDITIONS OF THE RESERVATION SYSTEM

 
1. The reservation system in general


1.1 The reservation system serves as pre-booking of a given media for a given period, without any financial commitment from the client.

1.2. The customer has thus reserved the reservation to officially book the reserved media at a later date, however no later than 4 weeks before the start of the campaign.
These conditions for the reservation system are only applicable from the time of the offer/reservation and until the final booking or cancellation of the campaign, i.e. 4 weeks before campaign start.
 

2. Reservation expiry


2.1. RESERVATIONS AUTOMATICCALY EXPIRE 4 WEEKS BEFORE CAMPAIGN START, IN THE EVENT WHERE THE PARTIES HAVEN’T AGREED TO FINAL BOOKING.

2.2.AFA JCDecaux can initiate a request for final booking of the reservation in the period leading up to 4 weeks prior to the time of the reserved campaign start. This request is called "48 hours", which means that as a customer you get 48 hours (calculated on weekdays) to make a final booking decision or alternatively to waive a reservation. If AFA JCDecaux is not contacted within 48 hours of the request, the reservation will expire automatically, and the customer is therefore not entitled to the campaign period or further information.


3. Rules for reservation


3.1 When reserving the campaign, the client has the option to expand the reservation to include the week immediately prior to and/or following the reserved campaign period.
 

4. Campaigns with less than 4 weeks to campaign start
