General information

Terms and Conditions
With regards to advertisements, the General Advertisements Terms and Conditions of NRC Media, as well as the Advertising Regulations (“the Regulations”), see www.stichtingrota.nl, are applicable to all agreements with and orders from the Publisher, or business units thereof. Terms that are defined and used in the Regulations are also applicable to the agreement(s) between the Client and the Publisher. In the event that the Advertisement Terms and Conditions differ from the Regulations, the former will prevail. The composition of the newspaper and the other advertisements in it will determine the placement possibilities. Special placements can be requested. The Advertisements Terms and Conditions have been filed with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce (under number 24280642) and the Regulations for Advertisements have been deposited with the registry of the district court of Amsterdam.

Cancellations
Cancellations must always be submitted in writing. If a reservation is cancelled later than the applicable period of notice, which is three days before the start date, a cancellation fee of 50% of the placement fee will be levied. If a cancellation is due to circumstances beyond the advertiser’s control, the decision will be at the discretion of the publisher.

Proofs
NRC Media has its own modern digital proof numbering system. NRC Media proof numbers are available via the online digital proof numbering platform, ePublisher. This is a collaborative venture with the independent party, Ebiquity.

The introduction of digital proof numbering offers you, as an advertiser, significant advantages:
• The advertisements can be viewed immediately on the day of placement (after 13:00)
• Digital proof numbering offers complete information, including order information
• It will be immediately clear which advertisement(s) it concerns
• You will receive an email on the day of placement, so that you can view the relevant proof number online

Advertisement invoicing
If you have any questions about invoices you can direct them to our administration department, which can be reached at +31(0)20 – 755 3219 or by email via administratie@nrc.nl.

ClickTag-implementation
If you are using a HTML5 banner, please include the following code in the file. Note: a text editor will be required to make these adjustments, for which we recommend Sublime Text.

Step 1: Link the AppNexus script to the banner
Add the AppNexus HTML5 Library to the <head> of the index.html file. You can do this by copying and pasting the following <script> tag between <head> and </head>.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://acdn.adnxs.com/html5-lib/1.3.0/appnexus-html5-lib.min.js"></script>

Step 2: Link the banner to the script from step 1
By using the following code and adopting the clickable element that’s shown (usually <a href…>) the clickable element will link to the script from step 1.

<body>

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="window.open(APPNEXUS.getClickTag(), '_blank');">

<!— The code of the banner inserted here -->

</a>

</body>

Step 3: Testing
Save the .html file and open it in your web browser. Add ?clickTag=https://www.nrc.nl at the end of the URL in the address field.
Refresh the page and click on the banner. Our website, nrc.nl, should now open in a new window in your browser.
