POSTVERTRIEBSSTÜCK (preferred periodicals)

Our most cost-effective type of shipment is used

to distribute journalistic reporting, i.e., any

magazine or newspaper in Germany that provides

information on current affairs, is distributed in

return for payment, and does not have any direct

commercial interest. Inserts can be included in the

shipment at low cost.

PRESSESENDUNG (standard periodicals)

The content design options for PRESSESENDUNG

(standard periodicals) items, which are mainly for

business information and entertainment

purposes, are even more flexible: key dialog

instruments are sent out cost-effectively in the

form of customer/investor and employee

magazines. PRESSESENDUNG (standard

periodicals) items may contain inserts in addition

to advertising.

STREIFBANDZEITUNG (wrapper-packed newspaper)

Whether for print runs below 1,000 copies or for

the shipping of individual copies: the WRAPPER-

PACKED NEWSPAPER is low in cost, easy to ship,

and delivered the next day.

4 Overview

For every publication, there is a product that enables you to reach your readers on time, reliably, and cost-effectively.

The right product for every requirement

Hot off the press: same-day service

This shipping option within a routing region is

particularly suitable for regional daily newspapers

that have their publications delivered via

Deutsche Post in their main distribution area.

Upon posting of the items in the respective mail

center on the day of publishing, Deutsche Post

will deliver them on the same day within a

routing region.

Overnight: next-day service

For just a few cents more, you can delay your

editorial deadline. The next-day service is ideal for

cross-regional daily newspapers and magazines

containing the latest information. They are

delivered within one day of posting.

Cost-effective: second-day service

The largest proportion of items (mainly

magazines), by far, are shipped via the cost-

effective Express logistics network. They are

delivered within two days of posting.

Solutions for the highest requirements: flexible logistics, best service

step ahead of one’s competitors. For example

into dialog with your customers and to bind them

to your company in the long term. This is also

useful if you want to establish a medium for your

employees that promotes knowledge sharing

within the company.

An individually designed magazine is an excellent

tool for addressing readers according to the

target group. It provides your customers or

employees with the latest information and

engaging entertainment in the interest of your

company.

which is specifically designed for dialog-oriented

communication, messages reach your readers

throughout Germany, on time, reliably and,

synergetic effects, and thus create new customer

communication options.

Sustainable image creation

A customer magazine offers a useful opportunity

for image cultivation, which will pay off many

times over.* standard periodicals

Discover new territories – on the cover of your

magazines

Place your own advertising or that of your adver-

tising customers on the cover of the magazine so

that it appears like a website banner next to or

around the recipient’s address.

Various possible uses

Couple the advertising label with an

advertisement on the cover, in the magazine, or

with a product sample. To the label to be entered

online or design it as a coupon to be presented to

a retailer. There are various ways of making clever

use of the label.

Twice for better impact

You can present the key visual or the product

image from the print campaign on the address

label as an advance indicator. This not only

increases the recognition effect but also the

likelihood of responding because the intended

target group focuses on the brand or product

more frequently and for longer. The impact can

be further magnified by personalizing the label.

All in all, this means the following for your

advertising customers: greater advertising impact,

higher communication impact, and – greater

opportunities for measurable responses.

Discover your address labels as attractive advertising spaces

tional mailing) depends on the publication frequency

of your magazine. WERBEVERSAND (promotional

mailing) can only be used to gain new subscribers

in this case. This means that regular or occasional

purchasers cannot be recipients. An additional

dispatch volume must therefore be posted.

Newly acquired subscriptions must be transported

and delivered via Deutsche Post’s Presse Distribution.

Each item must contain a response form for gaining

new subscribers.

WERBEVERSAND (promotional mailing) is permitted where the current volume posted for regular mailing equals at least the average volume for the last 4 regular postings. In the case of new PrD agreements, the average volume is to be based on the last 6 months’ postings if there have not yet been 4 postings in this period. The number of possible agreements for WERBEVERSAND Postvertriebsstück (promotional mailing for preferred periodicals) is based on the frequency of publication of the periodical (maximum of half-yearly publication frequency).

the number of regular/occasional sales remains the same, – WERBEVERSAND Postvertriebsstück (promotional mailing

for preferred periodicals), is continually, more than three consecutive times, sent to the same recipient,

– WERBEVERSAND Postvertriebsstück (promotional mailing for pre-ferred periodicals) exceeds this regular/occasional mailing more than three consecutive times by a disproportionate amount (by 200% or more).

be in place with Deutsche Post for posting as POSTVER- TRIEBSSTÜCK (preferred periodicals).

– Individual mailing: A copy of the magazine to be advertised is sent to a potential subscriber together with a separately enclosed new subscriber letter and a response form.

– Double mailing: Together with their regular copy or at a different time, subscribers receive an additional copy of the title with a letter and response form to be passed on to a potential subscriber.

– Cross-selling mailing: Together with their regular copy, the subscribers receive a copy of another title with a letter and response form.

The minimum quantity for posting as a WERBEVERSAND (promotional mailing) product is 1,000 copies. The provisions in the transport conditions of GT & C PrD National shall be observed here, in particular.

(2) The object of WERBEVERSAND (promotional mailing) can be the magazine to be advertised itself (original magazine) or a sample extract. Both must contain a response form.

(3) If the object of the WERBEVERSAND (promotional mailing) is a sample extract, this must be in the form of a periodical issue and must be at least eight pages in DIN A5 format. At least 30% of the content must consist of journalistic reporting and – in particular with regard to the cover – largely correspond to the magazine to be advertised. The remaining 70% may consist of self-promotion (PR, advertisements) for the magazine to be advertised. The press product ID (ZKZ) of the magazine to be advertised and the information “Special Issue” may appear on the cover of the sample extract.

(4) The sender shall notify the responsible customer adviser about the WERBEVERSAND (promotional mailing) at least 10 working days before the intended posting or pick-up on the “Vereinbarung Werbeversand PVSt” [Promotional mailing for preferred periodicals agreement] form.

(2) Billing via direct debit shall take place separately from the magazine to be advertised, based on the posting list, using the billing numbers for WERBEVERSAND (promotional mailing):

– For original periodical as “second-day service” 60 – For original periodical as “next-day service” 61 – For sample extract as “second-day service” 62

Terms and conditions of billing

Determination of weight for

POSTVERTRIEBSSTÜCK (preferred periodicals) and

PRESSESENDUNG (standard periodicals) items

The shipment charges are generally based on

weight, and in the case of POSTVERTRIEBSSTÜCK

(preferred periodicals) items they are also based

on the frequency of publication. The weight is

determined as follows: Sample copy including

wrapping and all other components of the item.

Weight band-widths are defined in increments of

10 g to determine the item charge due. The

weight bandwidths and their associated charges

can be found in the price tables for

POSTVERTRIEBS-STÜCK (preferred periodicals) and

PRESSE-SENDUNG (standard periodicals) items.

Additional surcharges apply to invoices,

preprinted payment transaction forms used for

subscription fee purposes, and to objects between

3 mm and 30 mm in height. See page 42 for insert

charges. The commercial rounding rules will be

applied when determining the dimensions.

Dimensions of 0.5 mm and over will be rounded

up, dimensions less than 0.5 mm will be rounded

down.

Charge differentiation according to tariff zones

The charges for standard POSTVERTRIEBSSTÜCK

(preferred periodicals) and PRESSESENDUNG

(standard periodicals) items will be reduced by

25 % for conurbations and increased by 8 % for

rural areas. The item charges remain unchanged if

they are destined for intermediate zones. This

generally applies if the following criteria are met:

1. The average postal circulation per issue of a

title with the same newspaper reference

number (ZKZ) was at least 100,000 items in the

previous six months.

2. When using charge differentiation according

to tariff zones, at least 100,000 items per issue

must be posted per title with the same

newspaper reference number (ZKZ).

3. A complete electronic data record for posting

notification is transmitted as the basis for

billing for the title concerned

Your Deutsche Post customer adviser will be able

to answer any additional questions you may have

concerning the differentiation of charges.

34 Charges

Invoice

An invoice will be issued for each individual

posting or partial posting. The assignment of a

number in terms of time as regards the calculation

of charges is based on the date of posting.

Charges will fall due upon receipt of the invoice.

The payment term normally amounts to seven

days and always commences on the date of

posting (date of service provision). Charges will be

collected by SEPA core direct debit.

Legal requirements such as obtaining a mandate

and sending advance notification (pre-notification

period) for a direct debit will be observed. Daily

newspapers will be invoiced once a week based

on the available accounting documentation

(posting lists and sample copies of the main and

sub-issues of each day of publication) for the past

week. Accounting documents received late will be

invoiced on the day of receipt.

More information on invoicing is available on

page 26 of our “Presse Distribution Handling:

all ready for shipment” brochure.

General Terms & Conditions 49

5 Charges/billing(1) The contracting party undertakes to pay charges for the

services provided by Deutsche Post in accordance with the Presse Distribution price list.

(2) Dispatch fees shall be calculated on the basis of a sample copy that must be made available free of charge to the accounting office at Deutsche Post Presse Distribution. The address of the accounting office should be included in the contracting party’s database of subscribers/buyers, so that the sample copy is dispatched as a POSTVERTRIEBSSTÜCK (preferred periodicals) or PRESSESENDUNG (standard periodicals) item in regular mailing. The dispatch list must be presented immediately to the Deutsche Post Presse Distribution accounting office if billing is carried out via AM.portal or a paper posting list. An electronic data record must be created for IT-based accounting.

(3) The sample copy (for the total print run or parts thereof) must match the copies to be sent. In the event that parts of print runs vary in weight and have inserts due to split runs, additional sample documents must be sent or submitted.

(4) POSTVERTRIEBSSTÜCK (preferred periodicals) and PRESSESENDUNG (standard periodicals) items sent as “multiple copies” (Mehrfachversand) shall be billed individually according to the category of item. This may consist of multiple copies of one or various press products with the Presse Distribution agreement. Billing shall take place to the account of the carrying object.

(5) The contracting party undertakes to provide correct notification of the shipments including inserts. Correct notification has been provided when shipments are notified to Deutsche Post two working days (Mon.-Sat.) before posting, giving correct information concerning weight, quantities and variants. Correct information concerning the weight shall be deemed to have been provided if the weight indicated by the contracting party is within the price and weight category of the sample copy. In such case as the prior notification is incorrect, a processing charge shall be applied.

(6) A processing fee shall be charged if a reminder is sent due to delayed or incomplete presentation of billing documents. This shall be collected four days after the reminder and if the billing documents are still incomplete.

(7) Payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. The payment period is seven days and generally begins with the day of posting (date of provision of service). Charges shall be collected by SEPA core direct debit.

(8) In the case that a SEPA core direct debit is dishonored, handling charges and the return fee of the relevant bank shall be added to the charge, should they be incurred.

(9) In certain cases (e. g., initiation of judicial dunning procedure) Deutsche Post can request an appropriate advance payment to protect its claims for compensation.

(10) If the contracting party cannot provide an advance payment in accordance with (8), Deutsche Post shall be entitled to refuse the acceptance of shipments.

(11) The contracting party is under the obligation to produce proof of the completeness and correctness of the billing documents in the case of doubt. If, to the detriment of Deutsche Post, the sample copy differs from the copies sent, the charge to which Deutsche Post is entitled based on these GT & C shall be applied to the entire run.

(12) Packaged Presse Distribution shipments may be opened for checking purposes.

6 Liability(1) Without regard to the limitations on liability set forth below,

Deutsche Post shall be liable for damage caused by an action or omission performed by itself, one of its employees, or another vicarious agent (Section 428 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB)) either intentionally or carelessly and in the knowledge that damage would be likely to occur. In cases of damage resulting from the conduct of its employees or vicarious agents, this shall only apply insofar as such persons have acted within the performance of their duties.

(2) In all cases other than those named in paragraph 1, Deutsche Post shall assume no liability unless required to do so by binding legal provisions. This shall also apply to claims resulting from the violation of collateral obligations and extracontractual claims.

(3) Claims according to paragraph 1 shall expire if the sender or recipient does not notify Deutsche Post in writing of partial loss, damage, or other breach of obligations within 21 days after delivery. This shall not apply to damage that is attributable to intentional behavior. Section 438(5) HGB shall not apply.

(4) An item shall be considered lost if it has not been delivered to the address within 14 days after posting and its whereabouts cannot be determined.

7 Statute of limitations All claims within the scope of validity of these GT & C shall be

limited to a period of one year. Claims pursuant to Section 6(1) shall be subject to a limitation period of three years. The limitation period shall begin at the end of the day on which the shipment was posted.

8 Other provisions(1) Claims against Deutsche Post can neither be assigned nor

pledged. Claims for damages and for compensation of service fees which can be assigned but not pledged are an exception to this rule.

(2) The place of jurisdiction in the event of a legal dispute against Deutsche Post shall be the registered office of the responsible organizational unit for sales at Deutsche Post.

(3) Deutsche Post is subject to the conditions in the German Postal Services Data Protection Ordinance (Postdienste-Datenschutzverordnung) when using the saved data.

(4) Forms and address labels shall be created by the contracting party at its own expense. The design thereof must correspond to the samples shown in the “Presse Distribution Handling: all ready for shipment” brochure.
