Terms page should cover all this. If when they signed up it was lifetime then it should stay lifetime. If ya buy a car with a 100,000 mile warranty do ya have to buy a new car every year to keep your old 100,000 mile warranty=no. Only reason to terminate someone is if they are using your content in a way not allowed which should also be in your terms. Set your terms and stick with them, if you make term adjustments that should apply to new affiliates and not fuck the old guys. Don't offer lifetime if you don't know the definition of it. If someone knows rebills will evaporate then they might have gone pay per sale. So in your terms put "years from now I may steal your rebills" Hell I've made boatloads of cash with some programs, stopped for year or two and came back when they dropped a new site that I thought matched my sites.

And he IGNORED the PM and came on here and acted like this.
So yeah. I guess this is what it is.
TrashyContent is not an affiliate of mine, he was just upset I called him a bottomfeeder. I mean he is, but just want it to be clear. I ONLY Put him down in the thread but I have no business relationship with him because he has no traffic on his paysites or freesites and never has after 17 years.

Way to keep it classy, why not just post names and addresses of all your affiliates and their numbers. Proving having a website and an affiliate program doesn't make ya business man with ethics.

If they signed up under lifetime and you're modifying terms to affect their rebills then yes you fall into shady fuck category.
I've never promoted you and based on this thread I would never touch anything you're involved with.
