Any Link placed on your website must be done through AffiliateCrew's graphics and in such a way that it is not misleading to any visitor. An example of a misleading Link is one that says, "You will win $5,000." Making misleading statements near the AffiliateCrew graphic requesting that your visitors "click" on the banner is not allowed. You can only use banners and approved text; any other use of link and sign up processes without the written approval of AffiliateCrew will result in the loss of all Leads accrued for you. AffiliateCrew may require on certain advertising campaigns that all Leads be double opted-in in order to be valid. This requires that each Lead receive and respond positively to an e-mail confirmation from the Merchant prior to being deemed valid. When so required, any Leads that do not double opt-in will not be subject to the Commission payment. You may not place Links to the Merchant Website in newsgroups, message boards, unsolicited e-mail or other types of spam, predatory-type pop-up messages, banner networks or through similar Internet resources. You must place Links to the Merchant Website such that they are unlikely to mislead the visitor, and such that they are reasonably likely to deliver bona fide transactions by the visitor to the Merchant Website through the Link. You may not cause or enable any transactions to be made that are not in good faith, including, but not limited to, by means of any device, program, robot, Iframes, hidden frames, JavaScript popup windows, redirects or other method that collects data from visitors and submits such data automatically or artificially inflates the number of Leads or overstates a visitor's interest in an advertising campaign.. You may not establish or cause to be established any promotion that provides any rewards, points or compensation for transactions, or that allows third parties ("Sub-Affiliates") to place Links to the Merchant Website on the Sub-Affiliate's website or in its e-mails, unless permitted by the Affiliate Program or unless you receive prior written permission.- Email Solicitations
