Delivery:
The company will use its best endeavours to distribute the material within its distribution system. These not necessarily imply 100% penetration of all address within the area. Our usual coverage would be deemed at 80 – 85 % of any given area inside the 50KLM of a named town land/delivery zone. This may exclude main roads and some apartments. If you require a particular road or house covering for your promotion, please check with sales agent before placing order to ensure it is included in our delivery rounds. Items will be distributed on a shared basis unless otherwise agreed in writing by a Leaflet Marketing Ireland member and material will delivered alongside non-related material that Leaflet Marketing Ireland deem to be non-competitive . Leaflet Marketing Ireland guarantees 80% delivery of items into designated areas based on response from level of beck checks carried out by Leaflet Marketing Ireland for which all distribution results are measured. These results are final and by engaging the services you are agreeing to this in terms of usage and cannot be challenged by the client or their agent.

In this context it should be noted that it is a legal requirement that all newspapers, leaflets, supplements etc. intended for distribution shall contain the name and address of the printer. The company will have recourse to the client for any legal action taken against the company that directly relates to the form or content of item distributed.
