6. Promotion Restrictions

6.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Nature TTL 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 Nature TTL. 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 noncommercial newsgroups, and crossposting 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 Nature TTL products so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. You may also post to newsgroups to promote Nature TTL products so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from Nature TTL. 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 Nature TTL Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

6.2. Pay-Per-Click advertising in Google Adwords is strictly prohibited. Other systems for Pay-per-Click advertisements may be used subject to the terms stated in Section 6.3 below. 

6.3 You are not permitted to bid in Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as naturettl.com, naturettl, nature ttl, www.naturettl, www.naturettl.com, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these — be it separately or in combination with other keywords or if you are a Coupon Affiliate (as defined in Section 7 below) in combination with + coupon, + discount and similar key phrases. Bidding on those keywords will be considered trademark violation and you will be terminated and banned from Nature TTL  Affiliate Program.

6.4. You shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “ParasitewareTM,” “Parasitic Market- ing,” “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 a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Nature TTL’s site (i.e., no page from our site or any Nature TTL’s content or branding is visible on the end user’s screen). As used herein “ParasitewareTM” 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, Bing, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Nature TTL site in IFrames, hidden links, and automatic pop ups that open Nature TTL’s site; (d) targets text on websites, other than those websites 100 percent 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 websites 100 percent owned by the owner of the application.
