Usually it's a symbiotic relationship. The affiliate needs the sponsor to get paid. The sponsor needs a handful of real affiliates (the ones who can actually make sales) to bring in fresh revenue. So I'm sure it rarely comes down to a showdown.
But yeah, if it did come down to it. Then the review site would yank links and the sponsor would cancel their account.

I was hoing to the extreme, but he did pull it in like any issue, minor or big, getting it changed let alone stopping what they do wasn't happening. We have worked with several review companies and they helped us improve our site and we helped them improve the understanding of what we provided.
I did have terms about review sites on EGC, let's just say we go way back. Don't get me wrong, the guys that did review me and sent me sales, love'em for it. I was proud to make some of the top earning lists. But I did have terms limiting reviews...
For me to yank your account it has to be fraud.. Otherwise it's just better to work with the person.
But we have heard and seen stories on forums where webmasters get accounts pulled for the stupidest and craziest reasons..big and small programs. Always someone pissed off at a program.
And you and me.. Shap and most of us.. We aren't killing accounts without a real good reason. That's an of course in my book.
