Editorial Style - RPL Style Guide for Using Trademark Symbol & Preferred Usage in New Zealand business writing:
On all of the Review magazines, websites and digital/social platforms we do not use either the TM symbol or ® in any of our editorial or news copy but will capitalise or use an initial cap  (e.g. Ghiotti, Watties). In press releases and business writing, it is generally recommended as a style guide for publishing in New Zealand to use the trademark symbol [superscript ® or TM] on the first instance only or with the most prominent use of the mark. The remaining instances should be without the symbol.  However, Review Publishing Co Ltd's style guide is not to use either the superscript ® or TM on editorial content. These symbols are used in advertising content only as a general rule. The full trademarked name and proper capitalisation however are used in editorial content.

Liability
a) Review Publishing Co Ltd will not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by the client relating to the services provided. This includes but is not limited to the failure of an advertisement to appear when instructed by the advertiser, or appearance in a form different from that instructed by the advertiser. Nor will be liable for any adverse effects of our lodgement of overdue invoices with the appropriate credit agencies or as part of our list of bad debtors.
b) The client indemnifies Review Publishing Co Ltd from and against any proceedings, demands, costs, expenses, damages, penalties, judgements and liabilities of any nature taken, made, or awarded against or incurred by Review Publishing Co Ltd arising out of or in relation to the service/s provided.
c) The client warrants and declares that nothing in the advertisement or sponsored editorial or other copy submitted by the client infringes the rights of any person or is in breach of the provisions of any statutes and its acceptance, use or publication will not give rise to any claims against or liabilities for the publisher. Review Publishing Co Ltd defines “service provided” as any service or services that have been rendered, whether they be chargeable, paid in kind or performed with no charge.

Photography and images
High-resolution images are requested. Minimum 300 dpi.

Contributors, including advertisers and public relations representatives, retain copyright in all photographs and visual material supplied, unless otherwise agreed in writing. By supplying images, the contributor warrants that they are the copyright owner or have lawful authority to provide the material for publication, including all necessary licences, permissions, and releases for editorial and promotional use.

Where images include third-party content, identifiable individuals, artworks, trademarks, or locations requiring consent, the contributor confirms that all relevant permissions have been obtained and that any usage conditions or licensing restrictions have been clearly disclosed at the time of submission.

For images supplied with press releases, the sender confirms that they hold the rights to distribute those images for media use.

Review Publishing Co Ltd and its platforms publish submitted material in good faith. Any claim or allegation of copyright infringement relating to supplied images must be notified to Review Publishing Co Ltd in writing within 30 days of first publication. This notification period is required so we can reasonably investigate, verify source material, and, where appropriate, take remedial action.

Outside of this 30-day period, Review Publishing Co Ltd may no longer hold original source files, submission records, or correspondence. In some cases, images are uploaded directly by contributors or agencies, and in others content is received via high volumes of press releases, meaning historical emails and attachments are not retained indefinitely.

Review Publishing Co Ltd does not accept liability for copyright infringement arising from material supplied by third parties. Any copyright queries, claims, or disputes will be referred to the contributor or brand owner responsible for the content.

b) Placement of any advertisement (except where the actual position is confirmed in writing) is at the publisher’s discretion.
