Hear what you are saying psyko!

There are two sides to the coin... First is, some sponsors use far too much small print (chances are half of that is probably "illegal" anyway). There is nothing wrong with small print, but if it contains terminology designed to scam or manipulate affiliate traffic - that ain't good for anyone.

On the webmaster side, there are scammers as well, tho they come and go like the tide. It is not unreasonable for a sponsor to protect against scammers.

Bottom line is... if a sponsor accepts an affiliate's traffic and tries to null that but then take the benefit of that traffic and earn from it - that don't sound too reasonable! :-) Some call it fraud.

Sure.. there are two solutions, use your feet and walk along to another sponsor, else actually start a court action tho it's often hard to prove stats 100% in court and it has been known for sponsors to use that :-) Unless ya have time to waste - move on to hopefully more honest sponsors.
