* No traffic is allowed from websites that contain Content that constitutes
an infringement, misappropriation or violation of any persons intellectual
property rights such as copyrights, trademark rights, right of publicity,
patent rights, personal property rights, privacy rights or other rights.
* SITE may not be promoted on any website that encourages password trading
or hacking.
* Webmaster may not attempt to cheat, defraud or mislead SITE in any
way.
* Any fraudulent, deceptive or unfair transactions or trade practices
are strictly forbidden. The Webmaster agrees to fully comply with the
United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) statutes and regulations
(whether or not Webmaster does business in the United States or with
United States-based customers), and any related rules, policies, and
advisory opinions issued by the FTC.
* Webmaster shall not engage in any activities that may be harmful to

websites.
* Webmaster may not circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, the access
screen requiring users to enter their birth date and requiring agreement
to the SITEs Terms and Conditions.
* SITE enforces a strict, zero tolerance policy with respect to child
pornography. No Webmaster Site may use models under the age of eighteen
(18) or suggest that its models are under the age of eighteen (18),
either through text or other implication. Any Webmaster suspected of
violating this zero tolerance provision shall be terminated from the

* Webmasters may not hotlink to any of SITEs images, banners,
and/or graphics.
* Webmasters may not solicit or permit any minor to become a customer
of the Websites.
* Webmaster may not harvest or otherwise collect information about others,
including but not limited to e-mail addresses, except as needed to operate

Suspected violation of any of the General Policies may result in termination
from the Program and forfeiture of any future commissions or payments;
whether earned or unearned. Although, the SITE reserves the right to
cancel any account that has an unusually high number of chargebacks
and refunds, the SITE does not require, as a condition of payment of
commissions to Webmasters, that any minimum conversion ratios be achieved
from trial sign-ups to full membership, nor that members remain as members
for any specified period of time. SITE reserves the right to terminate
a Webmaster, with payment for amounts due Webmaster prior to termination
(provided Webmaster has otherwise complied with the terms of this Agreement)
if the commissions paid to the Webmaster for trial memberships
do not convert to full memberships in ratios that are financially
acceptable to SITE. There is no deduction from payments that would otherwise
be due Webmasters for chargebacks initiated by the referred member
or credits given to members who were referred by the Webmaster. SITE
will apply an imputed deduction from payments to Webmaster for members
that do not visit SITE after sign-up, obtain credits or initiate chargebacks,
without basis, or that do not subscribe to a trial membership with a
good-faith intention to convert to full membership upon confirmation
that SITE contains the represented content.

breach of this restriction will result in Webmasters immediate termination
and forfeiture of any further payments, whether or not such payments
are attributable to email marketing of SITE.
B. NO DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING. All forms of deceptive or unfair advertising
are prohibited. Any Webmaster who is uncertain as to the requirements
of federal advertising law should obtain legal advice before engaging
in any promotion. More information about deceptive trade practices can

10. AGE VERIFICATION
The SITE takes a strong stance in favor of preventing minors from accessing
sexually oriented materials. Accordingly, all images, web pages, or
tours depicting sexual activity must be protected by some form of legal
age verification. Therefore, the SITE adopts the following policies
with regard to online age verification: 1) Webmaster must prevent users
from accessing images depicting sexual activity (i.e. hardcore images)
unless the user has passed through the Birth Date Verifier online
age verification form; or, through some other type of online age verification
device that complies with the requirements of the Child Online Protection
Act, (COPA); or 2) Alternatively, users must be restricted to
accessing pages or content, or Material containing only soft core (i.e.
no sexual activity or explicit display of the genitals) materials, which
content will be separately identified and provided by the SITE. Violation
of this age verification requirement will be considered a material breach,
and grounds for automatic termination of this Agreement.
11. METATAGS
Webmaster agrees not to utilize any false, misleading or infringing
metatags tied to the Webmasters SITE. In addition, Webmaster agrees
not to utilize any metatags that would imply or suggest that underage
or illegal content may be found on the submitted SITE.
12. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT COMPLIANCE
A. NOTICE OF CLAIMED INFRINGEMENT. The SITE respects the intellectual
property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. We voluntarily
observe and comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright
Act. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes

B. NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN PROCEDURES. The SITE implements, and the Webmaster
consents to, the following notice and takedown procedure upon
receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement. The SITE
reserves the right at any time to disable access to, or remove any material
or activity accessible on or from the SITE or any Materials claimed
to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which infringing
activity is apparent. It is the firm policy of the SITE to terminate
the account of repeat copyright infringers, when appropriate, and the
SITE will act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes
on anothers copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17
U.S.C. ??512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The
SITEs DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding paragraph.

but does comply with three requirements for identifying SITE that are
infringing according to ??512 of the DMCA, the SITE shall attempt to
contact or take other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party
to help that party comply with the notice requirements. When the Designated
Agent receives a valid notice, the SITE will expeditiously remove and/or
disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected
user. Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the
Designated Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury
that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed
because of misidentification of the material. After the Designated Agent
receives the counter-notification, it will replace the material at issue
within 10-14 days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the
Designated Agent receives notice that a court action has been filed
by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing
activity. The SITE reserves the right to modify, alter or add to this
policy, and all users should regularly check back to these Terms and
Conditions to stay current on any such changes.
C. It is important to understand that knowingly making a material misrepresentation
concerning alleged copyright infringement may result in significant
civil penalties including damages, costs and attorneys fees incurred

site will be suspended during the take down period. Any repeat
violators of the DMCA will be terminated and banned from the Program.
