5.3 Proofs that may be issued by us pursuant to Condition 8 are produced using different printing processes and on different paper stock from those processes and paper stocks used in the manufacture of our products. In the case of a colour Advertisement, you understand and agree that there will be some variation between the colour and shading shown in any proof and the version as printed in the publications. Similarly, there may occasionally be some colour and tonal variation between adjacent pages in the same product and this factor may adversely affect the appearance of a double page spread Advertisement. In the case of a double page spread Advertisement, we do not warrant the alignment of the two pages. In any event, we will not have any liability for any degraded definition, colour variation or alignment imperfections, no matter how they may occur.

6.2 We reserve the right to delete any Proprietary Material from an Advertisement where we have reasonable grounds to believe that the owner or controller of such Proprietary Material has withheld or withdrawn permission for your use of the same. In these circumstances, deletion shall not be deemed to be a breach of our obligations under the Contract.
6.3 We may provide a copy of your Advertisement or Artwork to the Advertising Standards Authority or any successor or similar competent body as we see fit, to determine whether such Advertisement or Artwork is suitable (from a regulatory perspective) for publication in a product.
