To protect the integrity of the reputation of Blackvibes.com Affiliates as well as the BlackVibes.com brand name, you may not promote your site via certain forms of indiscriminate advertising, commonly referred to as "spamming." Accordingly, you may not promote your site via unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups, or cross-postings to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not promote your site in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, domain name, or return e-mail address.

You may promote your site via mailings to recipients who are already customers or subscribers to your sites' services, provided that the recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Further, you may promote your site via newsgroup postings that specifically welcome commercial messages (consult the newsgroup FAQ or moderators to be sure that such a message is acceptable in that newsgroup).
