Sales terms for print advertising
By purchasing advertising space from Kärkimedia, the advertiser agrees to abide by these sales terms, as well as any specific conditions separately agreed upon between the parties or with the respective media.
In print campaigns, Kärkimedia’s basic sales terms are followed
in addition to the specific sales terms of the print campaign.
The campaign purchased through Kärkimedia must include at least two market areas and
three media in addition to Maaseudun Tulevaisuus.
One media can appear multiple times in the same campaign if the basic rule of the campaign is met. It is also possible to combine different print and digital products within the same campaign.
The campaign can be structured so that the ads are within a maximum of 30 days from the first publication date or the start of the first floating period.
The flexible elements of the campaign are:
- Ad size/ad format
- Content variation
- Products
Kärkimedia requires ready advertising material prepared in accordance with technical material requirements. In the same campaign, advertising material published in different newspapers can be varied so that the national or regional message must constitute more than half of the entire advertisement’s content.
Please note that some of our products are available in limited quantities.
We recommend that orders for the requested advertising spots be placed in a timely manner to ensure that the desired publication date and advertising spot can be confirmed.
In advance bookings and special placements, a separate schedule applies; please inquire for more detailed information at our Service Point.
Cancellation Policies
- Normal bookings: If the notice is canceled after the final booking time or if the customer does not provide the material, Kärkimedia is entitled to charge the customer the net price of the notice.
- Advance reserved spots: The schedule and cancellation conditions of the specific advance reserved product apply.
- Special placements (e.g., front and back pages): No cancellation fee 1 month before publication. A charge of 30% of the gross price will apply if the cancellation is made after the booking time. Cancellations made after the material date will be charged the net price of the notice. Campaign-specific / publication-specific cancellation conditions may differ from those presented here.

If an advertisement cannot be published due to production or other operational reasons (e.g., strike) or reasons related to the advertiser or client, Kärkimedia or the newspapers are not responsible for any damage that may occur to the advertisers.
When assessing possible errors related to print quality, Kärkimedia uses the ISO 12647-3 standard. Kärkimedia’s and the newspapers’ liability for the omission of an advertisement or any error that occurs in publication is limited to the refund of the amount paid for the advertisement.
Kärkimedia adheres to and applies the legislation mentioned in the Advertising Trade Practices Recommendation and the publication rules specific to each newspaper. The starting point is that the advertiser is responsible for the appropriateness of the advertisement’s content and any possible damages. Kärkimedia’s advertising prices are based on the current advertising prices specific to each newspaper.
Kärkimedia has the right to determine the advertising products it sells at any given time and to add or remove products from its offering. If Kärkimedia changes an advertising product, it reserves the right to change the pricing of the product. Kärkimedia will announce product and price changes well in advance. Price changes also apply to already made advertisement reservations.
Cost increases arising from laws, regulations, or actions by authorities (e.g., value-added tax) will increase prices accordingly from the moment the regulations come into effect. The increases also apply to already made advertisement reservations. Changes to sales terms and price lists will be communicated at www.karkimedia.fi.
