I’ve been surprisingly successful at getting some clauses in the T&Cs changed. Nick777 sometimes a simple post or email does work. I think often it is a case of copying some-one elses terms and not doing a good enough job of reading them and changing parts. Perhaps they are afraid of the lawyer-speak. It’s actually a bit scary that sometimes they don’t even appear to know that things are in there. On a couple of occasions the search and replace hasn’t been 100% applied and it’s so obvious they copied it. Now, if only they had all copied from a more affiliate friendly set then it would have been ideal.
My parting statement to programs that won’t change terms that I find unacceptable is to point out that fortunately there are a lot of programs around and there are a lot of affiliates as well, so both parties are probably better off moving on to other more value added tasks.
