At AOL’s request, the Advertiser will provide a detailed network diagram regarding the architecture and network infrastructure supporting the Advertiser Site.

Optimisation; Speed

i. The Advertiser will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the functionality and features within the Advertiser Site are optimised for the client software then in use by AOL Members and supported by AOL, and do not require an upgrade to the user’s browser software or the download of plug-ins (except where agreed with AOL in advance). In order to comply with this obligation, the Advertiser may consult the technical information made available by AOL concerning the AOL Service at http://webmaster.aol.com.

The Advertiser shall implement all necessary measures to ensure that AOL Members who access the Advertiser Site using any browser which is compatible with the P3P privacy standard (including without limitation Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.XX) with privacy settings set to default are not required to take any further step to fully access that site without receiving error messages or experiencing other interruptions.

User Interface

The Advertiser will maintain a graphical user interface within the Advertiser Site that is competitive in all material respects with interfaces of other similar sites based on similar technology. Accordingly, AOL reserves the right to review the user interface and site design prior to launch of the Promotions, which launch shall be subject to AOL’s approval of the interface and design (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

The Advertiser will design the Advertiser Site to support the AOL-Client embedded versions of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.XX and 5.XX browsers (Windows and Macintosh), the Netscape 4.XX and 6.XX browsers and make commercially reasonable efforts to support all other AOL browsers listed at: http://webmaster.aol.com. The Advertiser shall program the Advertiser Site in accordance with World Wide Web Consortium (or "W3C") standards and shall not use browser specific coding. The Advertiser shall not require or encourage AOL Members to use an external browser to view the Advertiser Site.
