When we started CyberBabes in 1995, there was money flying all over the net so fast we could barely keep up.
Since then, the traffic has gone up but the conversion rate has gone down.
We have remained on top of the situation and use techniques to convert higher
and maintain members longer. Currently, we have some of the best numbers in the
industry. Being one of the first sites up, we have taken an active role in
the evolution of techniques which can increase profitiblity.
We are aware of
many techniques that people use to up sales and to cheat. Many techniques
are allowed by the program. Many are not. If we believe that you are
cheating or are operating in a way which is not in the best interests of the
program or our company, your account may be terminated and all licenses
revoked. We may issue warnings or simply disable your account without
notice should you be damaging our program.
Reasons for revocation include deception, spamming/unsolicited email, unacceptable
chargeback rates, fraud, abuse of copyright/trademarks, or any practice or relationship which we determine
to adversely affect our profitibilty. Please read and accept the Terms and Conditions
below:
Terms and Conditions
VIRTUBUCKS offers an opportunity for owners/operators of
Internet Web sites to direct traffic to its Sponsors' Site(s) and earn
a standard commission of 50% net recurring, or other by special written arrangement.
The terms and conditions of this Agreement are as follows:
1. How the VIRTUBUCKS Affiliate Program works:
1.1 The method by which visitors shall be directed to the Sponsor
Sites is known as an Internet "hypertext transfer link."
VIRTUBUCKS shall designate and design the appearance and
syntax of the hypertext transfer links ("banners") which will appear
at your site.
1.2 Upon signup you will be provided with instructions as to how to
install the html code which will display our banner(s) on your web
site. You must install the URL as instructed in order to receive
credit to your account. The following reasons shall be non exclusive causes for
denial of payment and immediate termination, and may result in
legal action at VIRTUBUCKS sole discretion, including but not
limited to: password trading sites, hacking sites, warez sites, or any
other site that may be deem inappropriate by design or intent, or
any other site that is deemed to be operating illegally. Additional
reasons for
revocation include deception, spamming/unsolicited email, unacceptable
chargeback rates, fraud, abuse of copyright/trademarks, or any practice or relationship which we determine
to adversely affect our profitibilty. VIRTUBUCKS will not issue checks to accounts that have been
terminated for abuse of the system.
1.3 Upon signup you will be asked to enter a User Name and
Password. Please remember it, as you will need it in order to
check statistics for your account. You may access your account
statistics by choosing "Check Stats" on the VIRTUBUCKS
Homepage. Account statistics are updated on a real-time basis.
You are responsible for the security of your account. We accept no responsibility for any changes you make to your account. You may not give out your account information.
1.4 You will earn your commission when a user, directed from
your site, clicks through to a VirtuBucks Sponsor Site and becomes a "member". You will receive
50% of the net recurring sales. The net recurring sales (NRS) is defined
by the formula (NRS=gross sales you referred-chargebacks-credits-transaction
fees-transfer costs
2. Site Owner/Operator Tax Information:
2.1 You are required to enter a Federal Tax ID or Social Security
Number on the registration form. VIRTUBUCKS will register a
1099 for all U.S. domestic entities or a 1042-s for all foreign
entities to whom we issue combined yearly payments of $500.00
or more. Any falsification of Social Security or Tax ID numbers
shall be cause for denial of payment and immediate account
termination.
3. Rights Granted:
3.1 VIRTUBUCKS grants to the person or entity who is the

any time for any reason on any basis. All revocations or recalls must be completed
