Elixir Safelist Terms & Conditions of Service
(aka "TOS")
These Terms & Conditions (also referred to as "TOS")
serve to protect Elixir Safelist, as well as its members. The
integrity of Elixir Safelist depends upon the actions of each
member, whether positive or negative. Please read through the
following terms and conditions carefully as they apply to all
members.
Anti-Spam
Policy
As a member of Elixir Safelist, you agree to adhere to our
strict no-spam policy. Any act of spam will result in immediate
termination of your account. Members are encouraged to report
spam if they notice any other member improperly using our
service in their efforts.
An Elixir Safelist member may not use the
Elixir Safelist name or any Elixir Safelist web address with
spam or UBE / UCE (Unsolicited Bulk Email / Unsolicited Commercial
Email). Only "double" opt-in lists are considered
safe for advertising as opposed to any bulk list. In some
cases, use of forums, newsgroups, message boards may be inappropriate.
If you have subscribed as a member to these services and you
have been given explicit permission to post advertisements
with your offer(s), then this is not considered spam. However,
if you enter into a message board, forum, newsgroup, or similar,
and just blatantly post your offer without permisison, it
is considered SPAM and will result in termination of your
account.
Examples of allowed methods of promotion include
banner exchanges, traffic exchange, classified ads, e-zines,
double optin safelists, FFA's, email signature files (non-spam),
double opt-in lists, Cost-Per-Click (CPC), Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
and similar.
The use of SPAM is strictly prohibited. Any
member found spamming or sending UBE / UCE (Unsolicited Bulk
Email / Unsolicited Commercial Email) will be thoroughly investigated.
All evidence gathered will be turned over to the proper authorities,
their Internet Service Provider, and possibly others. This
may result in any of the following to the offending member:
- Termination of their ElixirSafelist.com
Account (no refunds!).
- Termination of their E-Mail / Internet
Account
- Possibility of class-action lawsuits (spam
is illegal in some states).
If you have a question regarding your method
of advertisement, please contact us anytime.
No Refund Policy
Elixir Safelist has a No Refund policy. Because our affiliates
are paid first, we do not ask them to give refunds. We are
certain that once you join Elixir Safelist, you will be happy
with the results you can get from this list.
Keep in mind that results vary from person
to person. In all, your ad copy will dictate how well you
do. Also, remember, you are getting a load of features from
this safelist. The link tracker alone is priceless. If you
are serious about marketing, then you probably already know
that a link tracker is pertinent to your marketing endeavors.
NO
Automatic Hits Services May Be Used with the Elixir Link Tracker
Use of automatic hits services with the Elixir Link Tracker
is not allowed. Use of automated hits services may result
in termination of your account. The reason for banning this
method of advertising with our Tracker is because these services
have proven disruptive to our site and service, degrading
all members' experience with the ElixirSafelist.com website.
Regarding Earnings
Elixir Safelist does not guarantee an income or any set amount
of earnings. Earnings will vary from person to person depending
on their ability to refer new members and help their referrals
to do the same.
Any earnings you make are your responsibility
for tax purposes. Members are paid instantly and directly
by their referrals. Elixir Safelist does not pay any member
directly for referrals.
Regarding Automated
Referrals
Elixir Safelist includes an automated referral system which
may give our members referrals from time to time. However,
we do not guarantee you will get any automated referrals at
all. The automated referral system is completely random, meaning
the potential to gain referrals exists.
To be eligible for automated referrals, your
contact email must be confirmed (as part of our double-optin
guarantee). If you change your contact email, you are temporarily
considered unconfirmed; so it is important that you confirm
your contact email as soon as possible.
No Duplicate Accounts
Absolutely no one member may have more than one account. If
any member is found to have more than one account, they may
lose their membership completey. Having more than one account
is considered an attempt to cheat the system.
Regarding Credits
Elixir Safelist uses the credit system to encourage members
to remain active, thus providing a very responsive list. Credits
are used towards hits to sites of your choice in the form
of hit links found in safelist ads. Credits are also used
to post to the Member Link Board. Credits are also applied
towards the banner rotation system. Credits can be earned
by clicking on members' hit links and links found on the Member
Link Board. This method of credit use has proven to increase
the overall responsiveness of the list.
The amount of credits members can earn is
random. The number is based off the the active member count
and is a variable number that will change dymamically as the
list grows.
The amount of credits deducted for posting
hit links, member links and banners is fixed. But these numbers
will also change as the list grows.
Members do not need credits to post ads. Ads
can be sent out every 48 hours.
No Cheating, Tampering
With or Reverse Engineering of the Elixir Safelist System
Any attempt to cheat the system or attempt
to gain credits by tampering will not be tolerated and is
grounds for immediate termination of your account.
Any attempt to by-pass the payment process
in any way may result in legal action against you. For the
purpose of preventing such acts, all visitors to the site
are recorded. Information such as IP address and Internet
Service Provider are recorded. All activity is monitored and
it is very easy for us to catch anyone attempting to tamper
with the system at any moment. So do not even try it.
Absolutely no one will be able to cheat the
payment process.
Cheaters and hackers will not be tolerated.
Breaking the Rules May Result In Termination of Your Account
You understand and agree that breaking any of the list rules
mentioned here or under the Rules
section will result in termination of your membership without
refund and you will lose any potential earnings that you may
have.
