2. The Publisher reserves the right to refuse to accept an Advertisement or Sponsored Article for publication or continued publication, as well as a technically incorrectly prepared Advertising Banner without giving any reasons. The refusal referred to in the foregoing sentence may also be made after the Advertising Order is issued, which releases the Publisher from the obligation to fulfil it and any liability that could arise therefrom.
3. The Publisher posts advertisements in accordance with the principles specified in Article 36 of the Polish Press Law. The Publisher may refuse to post specific materials in the event of a conflict between the content or form of the advertisement or announcement and:

• the law;
• the principles of social coexistence;
• the programme or the nature of the press in which they are to be posted.

  Given the profiled and community nature of the Portal, advertising should be personalized. The scope of the subject area of the advertisements should be primarily addressed to readers and viewers interested in the theory and practice of defence and security, as well as the protection and defence of the population, education and training in security, and enthusiasts and hobbyists interested in militaria, military technology, new technologies and outdoor, bushcraft and survival equipment and services.

  Advertisements shall be qualified for publication on the basis of the Regulations and the applicable provisions of the law.

  The Publisher shall identify sponsored articles and publications, which are prepared as a result of the fulfilment of research grant assumptions, with appropriate information and shall treat them as paid advertising.

 

§ 4

1. The Publisher does not accept liability for the content of the Advertisements that are posted.
2. The Publisher shall not be held liable for any failure to perform or improper performance of the obligations arising from the Orders if this is a consequence of events which are beyond its control, including in particular, but not limited to any outbreak of war or threatened outbreak of war, states of emergency, acts or decisions of government institutions, government or international agreements, strikes, protests, lockdowns, restrictions or other acts, including floods, fires, explosions, failure of the Internet or its part, power cuts, failure of computer supervision and distribution systems or other signs of force majeure.
