* 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 Program.

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.

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 by the alleged infringer or Webmaster.
