Should CUSTOMER need to change the design of the ad after satisfactorily designed and posted, and before the advertisement year is over, CUSTOMER shall pay another $120 to BIGTEAMS in order to change the advertisement. CUSTOMERS using BIGTEAMS’ free version may create their own banner advertisements or request the service from BIGTEAMS under the same terms mentioned above.

If CUSTOMER determines that an advertisement placed by BIGTEAMS under this provision is distasteful, BIGTEAMS shall remove the advertisement immediately upon notification by CUSTOMER. The parties agree to work together to find a timely solution, should an issue with advertisements arise under this provision. CUSTOMERS using the free website option understand that the location of BIGTEAMS’s advertisements may change from time to time. The advertising space of CUSTOMERS will not change.
9. Should CUSTOMER implement an email notification system designed by BIGTEAMS, BIGTEAMS reserves the right to place advertisements into the emails generated by the system.
