8.
Promotion Restrictions
8.1. You
are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that
mentions LUXEVIBES.COM could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint
effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited
by LUXEVIBES.COM. For example, advertising commonly referred to as
"spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name.
Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited
commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting
to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way
that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or
your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote LUXEVIBES.COM
so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services
or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future
mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote LUXEVIBES.COM so long as
the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you
must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from LUXEVIBES.COM.
If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause
for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the LUXEVIBES.COM
Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your
account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
8.2.
Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click
campaigns on keywords such as LUXEVIBES.COM, merchant, www.merchant, www.LUXEVIBES.COM,
and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or
in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such
campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be
considered trademark violators, and will be banned from Merchant’s Affiliate
Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the
ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our
affiliate program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC
bidding behavior.
8.3.
Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the
lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are
valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Merchant’s service).
8.4.
Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,”
“Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar
Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or
pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link
until such time as the consumer has fully exited Merchant’s site (i.e., no page
from our site or any LUXEVIBES.COM’s content or branding is visible on the
end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing”
shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes
the overwriting of affiliate and non affiliate commission tracking cookies
through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on
a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an
installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be
put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a
user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination
through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited
to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or
directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of
Merchant site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open LUXEVIBES.COM’s
site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by
the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes,
replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners,
other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the
application.
