Now that being said i never had to sign anything when bangbros got busted but i seem to remember a glaring warning on the webmasters pages or something.
2 theories.
#1 topbucks wants to make sure they are distanced from the affiliate by having the contract , so if they get busted again they can show the affiliates signature and the ftc can go after them.
#2 the ftc has made their rules more strict than when bangbros and others got hit.

Just to clarify, specific to our settlement, it only authorizes information to be reviewed or reported if there is a CAN-SPAM violation.
Also, all other settlements required an e-signature as well.
