    2. All required assets must be received by the requested due date. Failure to provide assets by the requested due date(s) may result in delay of the delivery and completion.
    3. Webcasts: Due to the nature of military / government speaker’s jobs there are unexpected calls of duty, emergencies and other unavoidable schedule changes that can come up. If any last minute change does arise for a scheduled Event the Sightline editorial team may have to change launch dates, even at the very last minute.
      • While Sightline will do its best to accommodate the best dates for the Sponsor and Subject Matter Expert (SME), no launch date is guaranteed.
      • Any and all launch dates are decided upon by Sightline’s editorial team. However if a launch date has to shift by more than 8 weeks past the expected date, Sponsor is entitled to cancel and earn a full refund if Sponsor has prepaid.
