Campaign plans can change, and displays can become unavailable. A sensible booking explains what happens before an exception occurs. Cancellation, creative rejection, partial delivery and an operator’s failure to deliver are different situations. Keep the agreed terms and the relevant evidence together. A clear process protects both sides by replacing assumptions with a documented route to review and resolution.
Understand the booking’s stages
An enquiry, a quote, a paid order, an accepted creative and a running campaign can create different obligations. Confirm when inventory is reserved and which changes remain possible at each stage. A buyer should know the applicable conditions before paying. An operator should know when work is authorised to begin.
Document the cause and timing
Record what changed, who requested it and when. If a creative was rejected, retain the reason and the required correction. If a screen was unavailable, record the affected period and actual delivery. Specific facts make it easier to decide a remedy than broad messages saying the campaign did not work.
Agree an appropriate remedy
Depending on the terms and circumstances, the parties may consider a revised schedule, substitute placement, additional delivery, credit or refund. These are not interchangeable. A substitute should be agreed rather than silently replacing a contracted location. Communicate any practical effect on creative, dates, reporting and operator payment.
Keep financial state separate
A campaign can be paused or disputed while its payment needs separate processing. Do not mark a transfer complete merely because someone clicked a workflow button. Reconcile refunds and payout status with the actual provider. If money has already moved, use a documented exception process rather than creating another automatic transfer.
Your practical checklist
- Read the applicable conditions before purchase.
- Record the change, reason and affected dates.
- Agree the remedy and any substitute explicitly.
- Reconcile refunds and payouts with provider records.
Frequently asked questions
Is every cancellation refundable?
The answer depends on the actual booking terms, circumstances and applicable requirements. Establish the conditions before committing, and obtain appropriate advice where needed.
What if the operator cannot run the campaign?
Keep the evidence and contact the agreed support channel promptly. Review an appropriate replacement or financial remedy through the booking’s exception process.
