AffPartners strictly prohibit its affiliates from using spam e-mail and other forms of internet abuse (including forum spam and blog spam) to seek sales. Spam constitutes the following:
1. Electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom the sender does not have an existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient through an opt in subscription;
2. Messages posted to Usenet, forums and message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion);
3. Messages cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups;
4. Messages posted in excessive volume, or posted against forum/message board rules. Be conscious of forum rules! If a forum owner or moderator complains that an affiliate has spammed, the affiliate account may be permanently terminated after investigation.
5. Content posted on free blog websites for the sole purpose of keyword spamming, or comments posted to legitimate blogs that violate the comment policy of the blog owner.
6. Solicitations posted to chat rooms, or to groups or individuals via Internet Relay Chat or “Instant Messaging” system (such as ICQ);
7. Certain off-line activities that, while not considered Spam, are similar in nature, including distributing flyers or leaflets on private property or where prohibited by applicable rules, regulations, or laws.
AffPartners, in order to prevent the use of spam and other unethical marketing practices may undertake, at its sole discretion and with or without prior notice, the following enforcement actions:
Account Termination: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, AffPartners will immediately investigate the complaint, and if necessary, will then terminate the affiliate account of the individual implicated in the abuse.
Termination results in the immediate closure of the AffPartners account, the loss of all referrals, and the forfeiture of any unpaid money on account.
