Betfair amended their creative T&C

[ocreditor]

I received this email today:

We have made some changes to our Affiliate Programme Terms and Conditions around the use of marketing materials. Affiliates must only use Betfair’s approved marketing, promotional and/or creative materials (banners, images, social media adverts and logos) and you agree not to edit, alter or amend the appearance of these materials without the prior consent of Betfair.
This change is necessary to ensure that all promotional materials used by affiliates to promote Betfair are compliant with applicable advertising laws. We would also like to remind affiliates that phrases such as “free money” and “money for nothing” are not socially responsible and should never be used to advertise Betfair promotions.

Amended Term:
3.1(o) you will only use Betfair’s approved marketing, promotional and/or creative materials (banners, images, social media adverts and logos) and you will not edit, alter or amend the appearance, design and content without the prior written consent of Betfair

If you have any questions regarding this change please contact Anthony.Elders@betfair.com

A minor change but for some affiliates that use only their own formats/sizes and/or used to edit their own materials this change is important to be aware about

It was a pretty simple change:
