This is a quote from the BCP T&C affiliates agree to. It’s very clear. It doesn’t get more clear than this. Again, contracts change all the time.
I don’t agree with the “semantics” rant:
Stupid, I know exactly what RETROACTIVE means in this situation, and so does everyone else here, so please ease off the SUPERIOR intelligence thing you have going on there.
This is where you and I profoundly disagree. The contracts and T&Cs are there to avoid the “you know what I meant” agreements. Contracts and T&Cs are carefully worded for that same reason – so you don’t mistake tomatoes with cucumbers, although their are both vegetables.
If you guys are so upset about a program changing the T&C, I do advise you to check with all programs you currently advertise for the “Modification” clause. I bet you all of them have it and trust me, they have put it in the contracts for a reason – so they can use it when things change. OR do you just hope that they won’t change their T&Cs and they have put the clause for SE optimization?!?
