Such omission or suspension shall be notified to the Advertiser as soon as possible.

5.    If Bossladies considers it necessary to modify the space or alter the date of position of insertion or make any other alteration, the Advertiser will have the right to cancel if the alterations requested are unacceptable, unless such changes are due to an emergency or circumstances beyond Bossladies’ control. Every care is taken to avoid mistakes but Bossladies cannot accept liability from any loss arising from the late appearance or non publication of any advertisement.
