Using the maps
Introduction
The way you use the maps is separated into classifications. Different royalty charges, based on the number of copies printed, apply for each of the usage types below. All costs are payable in advance of usage.
The artwork must be supplied by Pulse Creative and the map cannot be changed or altered in any way.
Maps are available in a range of sizes and formats.
