I've reviewed our previous correspondence and your account. I understand you're concerned about what would happen if any Associate links you might build were to be stolen. Again I want to assure you that issues like links being stolen would be taken care of in an appropriate manner.
If your links are taken with out your permission and are placed on other websites, we ask you to please contact us so we can investigate the matter. As well, our system is set up to mark links that are in possibility of violating the Operating Agreement. If you are in violation of the Operating Agreement we contact will you, the link owner via email and let you know about the Operating Agreement violation. Please know that if we determine that your links were stolen or that the violation is not your fault, you will not be banned from the program.
I hope this helps to explain things more clearly. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
