I just sent 10 test emails to my email address and it works just dandy.
I have yet to receive any sort of contact from you. From what I am told, you sent an ICQ to our accounting department, and they handled getting the check to you. You got the check, and now this??
We are not going to be changing our checks anytime soon. It may be something we do in the future, but don't hold your breath.
As far as this thread is concerned, the thread title indicates your intention of discontinued affiliation with our program, as do your stats over the past couple of weeks.
I would like to see this binding contract you mentioned as well. If you can forward it to paul [at] hushinc [dot] com or paul [at] hodough [dot] com, I'd appreciate it.
As far as I can tell, all of your contacts have been addressed, until this thread. No person at this office has received any contact from you since the check issue... until this thread. I requested that you contact me personally with whatever your needs are, and you chose not to.
I have been in this business for over a decade. I haven't been with HoDough that long, but that's beside the point. So... I will say it again, if you have some issues that need to be addressed, feel free to contact me, 126-36661 on ICQ, I will do my best to assist you, Monday to Friday 10AM to 6PM PST.
RE: The check logo, it stays, at least for now.

Second:
If you think the only agreements that are binding are ones written on paper then you need to hire a lawyer. The only area of law that requires a written contract is real-estate. Look it up!
No court in America would allow you to keep money owed to an affiliate without proving they committed fraud on your program directly.
Not even slander could allow you to keep money...the court would order you to pay and advise you that you may sue for damages caused by the slander which you must prove the slanderous statement was false.
You can't prove that your logo does not suck!
And even if you could prove it what would be damages...your feelings got hurt?? Don't think so.
Further, even the membership sign up form on your paysites are binding in that if a surfer pays then you have to provide a service. If you cancel their account because they posted on a board that your content sucked then they could sue you to get access again and or refund all their money.
If the shit was not binding then I would just build tours and sign up forms and take money and send an email with a "thank you for signing up, but I personally don't want you as a member so I cancelled your account and will not refund the money". I'd probably only get 3 years in jail in addition to being sued.
