Advertisingterms
As of 2 November 2026. This is a convenience translation. The German version is legally binding.
1. Scope and conclusion of contract
These terms apply to advertisements, premium placements, Leaders Portraits, podcast episodes, online features, packages and copy allocations in the Premium Leaders Magazine. They apply to businesses only.
The contracting party is Premium Leaders Club Germany GmbH, Gießereistraße 6, 83022 Rosenheim, Germany. Premium Leaders Media is an offering and brand of Premium Leaders Club Germany GmbH.
A booking via the form is an offer to us. The contract is concluded upon our written order confirmation.
Member prices apply with an active membership or from the start of the membership booked in a bundle.
Booking contact: Media Team, office@premium-leaders.media.
2. Services and placement
Premium placements are awarded once per issue in the order of the order confirmations. If the exclusive cover is booked, the cover ads are no longer available. With the exclusive cover, the magazine name, PLC logo and editorial cover lines remain in place.
Placement commitments in the editorial section only apply as stated in the order confirmation.
Leaders Portraits, podcasts and online features are produced by the editorial team. They are labelled as advertisements; one correction round is included. The client may use the features in its own channels, citing the source.
Proof of performance: after publication, the client receives a complimentary copy and the links to all online publications of the booking by email.
The publisher may reject content that violates the law or the interests of the club.
If the publisher designs an advertisement on the client's behalf, we charge €120 net per ad. This includes one draft and one correction round. Additional work is charged by arrangement.

4. Prices, payment, cancellation and liability
The 2027 media kit price list applies, net plus VAT, in EUR or CHF (prices in CHF: euro price plus 15 %, rounded up to the next CHF 50), valid for issues until 31 December 2027.

Advance payment and cancellation rules apply per service component: for print relative to the issue's publication date, for online features and podcast episodes relative to the agreed publication period; for these, cancellation is free of charge until the booking deadline (4 weeks before the start of the publication month). The membership included in bundles is governed exclusively by the membership terms of the Premium Leaders Club.
Liability: unlimited for intent, gross negligence and personal injury; otherwise limited to foreseeable, typical damage. The client indemnifies the publisher against third-party claims arising from supplied content.
Membership bundles
For Business and Corporate Bundles, the admission fee and membership fee for the first twelve months from the contribution start date are included in the bundle price. Contributions start on the first day of the month after the contract is concluded. For the first twelve months, this rule takes precedence over the general membership terms. Thereafter, the membership terms of the Premium Leaders Club apply: the subsequent contribution is calculated pro rata until the end of the year and then per calendar year. Membership may be cancelled with three months’ notice to the end of a calendar year, first at the end of the calendar year following the year of joining. Example: contract concluded on 10 March 2027, contributions start on 1 April 2027, included in the bundle until 31 March 2028, subsequent contribution pro rata for April to December 2028, earliest cancellation effective 31 December 2028 with notice received by 30 September 2028. The magazine service of the bundle applies once, for the booked issue.
5. Intermediaries and agencies
Intermediaries refer clients; the client remains the contracting party. The referral commission does not reduce the client price.
Agencies book in the name and on behalf of their client. Double remuneration is excluded.
6. Governing law and jurisdiction
German law applies. Place of jurisdiction is Munich, to the extent legally permissible.
