BB1 anyone who responds opens themselves to an argument about every clause within their terms and conditions.
If YOU were an affiliate manager would you expose yourself to that potential controversy?
I am relatively sure if you asked 100 Affiliate Managers if their programs had predatory terms and conditions 100 would emphatically state NO! What else would you expect them to say?
The things affiliates MUST do are:
1. BEFORE joining a program read the terms and conditions. If you see anything objectionable you can email them for clarification or simply pass on that partner. If you decide to join the program I recommend you SAVE a screen capture of the terms and conditions, just in case its needed for future reference.
2. Periodically RE-READ the terms and conditons at the programs you are actively promoting. If you spot anything that is objectionable then open the copy of the terms and conditions you originally agreed to and see if a retroactive change has been made. If you feel that has happened then please immediately email your account manager and bring this to their attention. I am sure everyone would really appreciate it if you took the time to let everyone else know about your discovery too.
Listen, I know this is WORK and in a perfect world we could just make a simple post and the goodies would line up and report in and the baddies would also step forward and come clean, but thats not gonna happen. :wink-wink
