2. Advertising Services

2.1 We shall use reasonable endeavours to provide the Advertising Services in accordance with this Agreement. If we run an Advertisement, this does not mean in any way whatsoever that we have agreed either that (a) you have complied with your obligations under this Agreement, or (b) we waive any of our rights and remedies under this Agreement.
