I have always ben curious about this - most affiliate programs; if an affiliate violates the TOS, not only is the account terminated, but the program almost always keeps all the money.

Is'nt this unethical? I mean, sure; the affiliate may have done something unethical as well, but the company should'nt keep more than what the cost was to recoup from said violation.

Affiliates work hard and spend a lot of money to bring signups in, in the event of such a situation, why not divy up profits to appease all?

I just don't get it.
