\"as long as it has been confirmed by XXX\" is definitely better here after thorough consideration and persuasive comments. Join the last answer in all respects.

disagree  Sam D (X): Sorry, you can say "not before" OR "until" ("till" is a bit informal) but not both together
33 mins
  -> Sorry, my fault. Corrected. Thanx for the attention paid.
disagree  Jennifer Callahan: In the above context, not before wouldn't fit. It's talking about the duration of the term, "as long as" could work maybe if you don't want to use until
1 hr
  -> It sounds quite reasonable. I used "as long as" many times, it just didn't occur into my mind. There is some point in your opinion.
