All measurements provided by us are final. If you dispute any measurement provided by us, your sole remedy is to cease selling advertising space through the Service and submit a payout request.

Examples of such situations include when you fail to properly use a Publishing Method (defined below) or when a user's browser settings prohibit our ability to properly measure or track impressions.

We will take commercially reasonable steps to provide you with online access to reports that track and review measurements related to your use of the Service. Such reports will be available to you on the Service. Such reports will be updated on a regular basis but we do not represent or warrant that they will always be in "real-time."
