English translation: Possibly a typo for "also"

English term or phrase: sentence
I'm translating an agreement drawn up by a non-native English speaker. One of the articles reads:

"The distributor shall submit to the prior written approval of the seller any sales promotion and advertising activity concerning the products, APPROVAL GIVEN LASO BY NO WRITTEN REPLY WITHIN 15 DAYS".

Does the sentense marked upper case make any sense? What's "laso", a typo? Can somebody help me out with its meaning??

TIA

Selected answer:Possibly a typo for "also"
Explanation:
In other words, the seller can actively give instructions, or *also* can passively let something happen by not responding within 15 days.
