Just a couple campaigns I had a really good landing page that only sent people who were really interested to the offer that match them. Then again 2 of my landing pages outranked the advertisers actual pages in google.

Guilt by association will never stand up in court, and they know it. Whether its in their TOS or not, whether you signed it or not, no one in a feduciary relationship is allowed to terminate a contract without cause. You have a feduciary relationship and they have a legal responsibility to live up to their end of the contract. The "we don't like where you hang out" clause will never have a chance.
I'm not a lawyer, and can't recall the principle right of the top of my head, but a contract is only a contract if both sides give consideration. If one side has no requirement of consideration (in other words if they don't have to pay you just because they say they don't) it isn't actually a contract and will never stand up in court.
No one can tell you who you can and can't associate with. Ever. Period.
U.S. Constitution. Amendment 1.
Congress being the highest law of the land can't pass a law restricting who you can "peaceably assemble" with, who the hell does RP think they are by trying to add such bogus nonsense into a contract?
No way. It'll never stand up.
That email is totally unprofessional and needs to be brought to the attention of someone with a) a clue and b) some authority at Rocket Profit.

Wow, congrats, madinaz. I suspect that the AM who wrote you that letter has already been canned and won't be finding an AM job anytime in the future.
yeah, i'd say waking up to a $100k check being delivered would make just about anyone's day!
Rocket Profit is insanely shady, and the amount of "don't do it'" I've gotten vs the "they're great" ratio is somewhere in the 7:1 -12:1 ratio range. I personally said "fuck this" when I saw a clause in their TOS which says if you send traffic for them, you send traffic for them exclusively, and wont send traffic to anyone else for the duration of your dealings with them PLUS 1 year afterwards.
Glad to see you got paid though, and have set your own gig up with companies directly. That letter was completely uncalled for, unprofessional, and something I would expect from a sweatshop style adult aff network...RP is batting a thousand lately.

RP is part of a public company (NWMO on the Nasdaq). You got your check because $100k is FAR less than the cost of dealing with a lawsuit and the accompanying bad PR.

Can't believe I just now read this, but talk about turning turds to gold. You got paid, got revenge AND got hooked up directly to the source.
