8. Promotion Restrictions
8.1. You are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Bracomponents.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 Bracomponents.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 Bracomponents.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 Bracomponents.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 Bracomponents.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 Bracomponents.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
Bracomponents.com, Bracomponents, www.Bracomponents, www.Bracomponents.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
Bracomponents.com'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 sending Bracomponents.com leads as long as the prospects’ information is real and
true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Bracomponents.com'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 Bracomponents.com site (i.e., no page from our site or any Bracomponents.com 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 Bracomponents.com site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop
ups that open Bracomponents.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.
