Special Terms and Conditions for Automotive Advertising

• The following special conditions apply to the placing of an order for automotive advertising in Newsquest Media Group (“Newsquest”). Where there is a conflict between these terms and the terms of advertising here https://www.newsquest.co.uk/terms-of-advertising the special terms will prevail.
