5. Professional Way will use its best endeavours to publish listings and advertisements under the classifications desired by the listing organisation and advertiser, however, this is not guaranteed as Professional Way will determine the most appropriate classifications based on what it perceives as the registrants' needs and Professional Way will not be liable for any costs, expenses or damages directly or indirectly arising from this action.

All listings and advertisements are accepted subject to all relevant law. This right applies to each instance of publication notwithstanding that the same event listing or advertisement may have previously been published. A quotation by the ProfessionalWay does not constitute an offer to accept a listing or advertisement.
7. The listing organisation and advertiser are responsible for the text of their listing or advertisement.
8. All listings or advertisements will be charged according to the number of weeks the material appears in newsletters, and the cost of the event where appropriate.
