These terms apply to every ad booked in Essentially Amsterdam, the daily newsletter and website published from Oudezijds Voorburgwal 129-II, 1012 EP Amsterdam (KvK 85448826, VAT NL863626671B01).
Booking and payment
You book one or more ads and days in our calendar. We check your ad and show you how it will look, and you pay online straight away; your ad is scheduled as soon as the payment is in, and you receive an invoice with VAT. Days in an unpaid basket become free again after one hour. If we want to look at an ad ourselves first, we email you within one working day; once we approve it you have 48 hours to pay.
All prices are per day and exclude 21% Dutch VAT, which is shown separately on the invoice.
What we accept
We run ads from local businesses, events, venues, shops, services, employers and organisations. We do not run ads for political parties, candidates or causes, religious campaigns, adult or sexual services, gambling, weapons, tobacco or vapes, drugs, get-rich or medical miracle claims, pyramid or crypto schemes, or anything hateful or misleading. We may refuse or remove any ad without giving a reason; if we refuse an ad you have paid for, you get your money back in full.
Language
Essentially Amsterdam is an English-language newsletter. There is also a Dutch edition, but more than 90% of our readers read the English version, so we recommend writing your ad in English.
Your material
You confirm that you have the right to use the text, pictures and logos you send us, and that what your ad says is true. We may make small changes so your ad fits the newsletter’s layout and style. If you ask us to write or design the ad, we send you a version to approve first.
Changes and cancellation
You can cancel a paid booking until 18:00 Amsterdam time on the day before your ad runs, and you get your money back in full. After that the letter with your ad is already being prepared, so the booking can no longer be cancelled. Once your ad has run, or for a booking over several days once the first day has run, there is no refund. If we do not run your ad on the booked day, you choose a new date or your money back.
Results
The day after your ad runs we send you the number of people who opened that edition and the number of clicks on your link. We do not guarantee a number of clicks or sales.
Liability and law
Our liability is limited to the amount you paid for the booking concerned. Dutch law applies.
