8.1. You are free to promote your own websites,
but naturally, any promotion that mentions Livingwellshop.co, Living Well
Spending Less® or the Living Well Planner™ 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 LWSL Inc. and the LWSLove Affiliate Program.  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 our 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. Also, you may post to
newsgroups to promote our 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 Livingwellshop.co
. 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 Livingwellshop.co
Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your
account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

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 our 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.
