In the event a Publisher does contact Advertiser and Advertiser finds out at a later time that such Publisher is a Publisher within Network, then Advertiser shall notify such Publisher immediately that it must work directly with BlueSkyAds and immediately halt any marketing campaigns it is conducting with such Publisher.

Advertiser will allow BlueSkyAds online access to the stats of such User actions by unique tracking link.
