SN reserve the right to charge interest on late payment at 4% above the Bank of England base rate.

Online Advertisements

1. The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that discrepancies of up to 10% regarding the number of impressions served are common due to a variety of technical reasons. In the event of any disagreement regarding the number of impressions served, the Advertiser agrees that the figures provided by SN’s applicable third-party provider will be final and binding.
2. SN cannot guarantee the number of impressions. In the event the number of impressions served during the campaign period is more than 10% less than the number of impressions booked by the Advertiser, SN shall, as the Advertiser’s sole remedy and provided the Advertiser has notified SN of such under-delivery, continue to serve the Advertisements after the end of the campaign period until the number of booked impressions is reached. SN will not be liable for any over-delivery of impressions (including without limitation in relation to any ad-serving costs) where such over-delivery is 10% or less. Where any such over-delivery exceeds 10%, SN will not be liable unless such over-delivery arises due to SN’s act or omissions.
3. SN agrees that all Advertisements will be targeted at individuals in the Gambia unless otherwise stated at the time of booking.
4. Where non-Gambia targeting is required, SN will endeavor to target the Advertisement at individuals in the geo-location specified at the time of booking.

6. To the extent SN sets cookies on the devices of users of the Advertiser’s Site(s) or uses any other data collecting technology (such as tags, javascript, or other code, including the tags of third party service providers) for the purpose of tracking impressions and related data (“Advertiser Data”), SN shall notify the Advertiser and the Advertiser shall ensure that the Advertiser’s Site complies with all applicable data protection and/or privacy laws, regulations and codes of practice.
7. SN and its service providers will only use any Advertiser Data solely in relation to the Advertiser’s particular advertising campaign. All such Advertiser Data collected by SN will be treated as the confidential information of the Advertiser and will not be disclosed by SN to any third party (other than SN’s service providers for the purpose of SN complying with its obligations under these Terms) without the consent of the Advertiser. In no event will any Advertiser Data be combined with information collected from other sources, except where the Advertiser has agreed otherwise.
8. In the event advertising copy is received after midday on the day before an Advertisement is due to be published, the number of impressions booked will be reduced on a pro-rata basis for every 24 hours that the copy for the Advertisement is supplied after this deadline. For example, if a copy is provided 2 days late for a campaign that is due to serve 100,000 banners in a 10-day period, the number of impressions will be reduced by 20,000. There will be no reduction in the fee payable.
9. SN does not guarantee that Advertisements booked to appear on Sportynation will be spread evenly across the sites or that the Advertisement will appear on a particular site (unless SN agrees in writing with the publisher to publish the Advertisement on a particular site).
10. SN does not guarantee that Advertisements booked will appear on any particular Website and/or that impressions will be spread evenly across any particular Websites. Furthermore, SN does not guarantee that inventory meeting any criteria selected by the Advertiser will necessarily be available nor that it will be available in the volume desired by Advertiser. Where non-standard ad creatives (i.e. outside of IAB Leaderboard, Skyscraper & MPU) are not accepted by an ad exchange, the Advertiser shall submit standard creative in order for SN to fulfil the booking.
11. SN will implement its default brand safety measures in respect of the sites on which Advertisements booked through Sportynation will appear. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SN makes no guarantees regarding the quality and/or suitability of any sites on which Advertisements appear. If an Advertisement booked through Sportynation is published on a site which the Advertiser reasonably finds unsuitable, the Advertiser may notify SN and SN will, as the Advertiser’s sole remedy, remove the Advertisement from the site as soon as reasonably practicable.
12. The Advertiser may implement its own brand safety measures and site filters in addition to the default brand safety measures provided by SN. Any such additional brand safety measures and filters implemented by the Advertiser shall operate by blocking the relevant ad from appearing on the relevant site after it has been served by SN and will therefore not affect the number of impressions deemed to have been served in any campaign period.
