Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer also warrants that the Advertisement: does not contain any libellous, inaccurate, misleading or false material; does not unfairly prejudice the legitimate interests of any third party or infringe or violate any copyright, trade mark or other personal or proprietary right of any person or render IraqUpdates.com liable to any proceedings whatsoever; complies with all applicable content and approval requirements of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in the UK, the Buyer forthwith on IraqUpdates.com's request to provide written confirmation of any required approval; and complies with all applicable state and federal laws of the USA including laws relating to the offer or sale of securities. 12.

Should the Advertisement be rejected for some reason prior to publication on the Website, the Buyer will be refunded the full value of the payment made. Refunds will be provided via the credit card used to pay or by bank transfer within 10 working days of the cancellation. It is possible that the credit card company may pass on a minor charge due to differing currency rates between the time the charge was made and the time the refund was made.

Refunds are only available if the advertisement is (for any reason stated above) rejected by IraqUpdates.com. 16. The Buyer shall pay all taxes related to the Advertisement. 17.
