My problems with them didn't arise from a TOS problem, it's because they are inept and fraudulent.
I signed up for the program, returned the forms, etc, sent them some traffic and made a sale after only 3 (!) hits.
Then I sent them several thousand more and never had another sale. Naturally I want that $40 sale + the $50 sign on bonus, so I tried making up some custom promo content instead of just using a text link as I had before.
So I contacted them via email several times requesting a pass to gain screencaps for an ad page. No response.
Finally I called them on the phone and asked about getting a pass. They told me they couldn't do this for affiliates and I should just sign up for a free membership as a customer. No problem, or so I thought.
I tried signing up, however for whatever reason my account was flagged as 'high risk' or something so they wouldn't let me join.
I called again. They said they had no authorization to approve my account so I should use a different email address... after 3 or 4 different attempts, I was finally able to join - for FREE supposedly - and I was careful to respond to that tiny little checkbox that says you'll be billed @ 6.95 or whatever.
I got some promo material & made the ads. Sent more traffic. Still no sales. Whatever, I just wrote it off as a waste & moved on to other projects.
Then they started with the fraudulent billing. First there was a $1 charge for the FREE signup.
Then I found out they were charging the $6.95/month that I had DEFINITELY not signed up for at signup.
This is simple theft, there is no other term for it. I called them up and explained to them that I was an affiliate and gave them the whole story. After much arguing they finally refunded the $6.95. I later found out that I had been charged a month earlier the same amount and that they had not refunded that portion.
This is theft pure and simple. It's only 6.95/month but multiply that by the many thousands of people they're doing this to every month and it adds up to a large sum.
So they don't mind stealing from the public, from affiliates like myself, and many other reputable webmasters have had checks bounce or not arrive...
So the people sending them large amounts of traffic every month seem to have no problems and are happy with the large payouts, and the rest are treated like shit, or worse yet victims of theft.
