b) If any school emails prove to be undeliverable due to them hard-bouncing they must be sent to Sprint Media, including a reason for non-delivery, in an Excel or comma separated format document within 30 days of the send date of the campaign that generated the hard-bounces so Sprint Media's data team can correct them.
