Dear ..........
Verotel has been processing VISA and MasterCard transactions for more
than six years now. As an Internet Payment Service Provider, we have to
comply with the latest demands from the card companies. These demands
are mostly related to protecting the brand names 'VISA' and
'MasterCard'.
In line with these demands, we have to inform you about important
changes related to your website(s).
As of today, the acquiring banks we are working with,
do not process any transactions anymore of websites
that are related to underage models. Even if the models
are fully dressed and are not involved in any sexual
explicit behaviour, these websites do infringe on the
brand names of the card companies.
An underage model is every model (male or female),
that is under 18 years of age, and/or any model
over 18 years of age, but pictured as an underage model.
In addition, the words 'lolita' and/or 'little' are
not allowed in the domain name anymore.
In line with these demands, we have suspended your account
and will not release any funds until six months from now.
That means that you will not receive any payments
until at least October this year. Your account stays
reachable with the Verotel Control Center for future
updates and information about your payments.
Please note and understand that copies of passports
and model releases do not help to fight any suspensions
of your Verotel account.
We regret that we have to inform you about this, but
this is a step made by the card companies over which
we do not have direct control.
With kind regards,
Verotel Management
