    8.
    Promotion Restrictions



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



    8.2.
    Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click
    campaigns on keywords such as YouBar Inc., YouBar, FreshNutritionKitchen, YouBar
    Inc, and/or any 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 Merchant’s 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.



    8.3.
    Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the
    lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are
    valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Merchant’s service).



    8.4.
    Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,”
    “Parasitic Marketing,” “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 on a qualifying link
    until such time as the consumer has fully exited Merchant’s site (i.e., no page
    from our site or any YouBar Inc.’s content or branding is visible on the
    end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” 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, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or
    directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of
    Merchant site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open YouBar
    Inc.’s site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100%
    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 web sites 100% owned by the owner of the
    application.
