Clickbank No Longer Allowing TV on PC Products

Dear Client,

As the leading retailer of digital products, ClickBank prides itself on offering its customers the latest and best digital products available. Due to the ever changing status of technology and the law, ClickBank monitors the products offered through its services and, when necessary, makes changes to the types of products it will offer for sale. ClickBank's ability to make such changes is included in our Client Contract, which is the final authority on the business relationship between ClickBank and you. This communication does not alter or amend the Client Contract.

As part of this process, ClickBank has decided to add to its existing list of Prohibited Products any products that, in our sole judgment, are deemed as Aggregation Products, which are defined as: products that offer content such as books, movies, music, t.v. shows and channels, such as tv-to-pc, games and "open source" products for a charge where the content is generally available for the internet for free . As many consumers do not understand that the content can be found for free on the Internet, such products often result in a high level of refund and chargeback requests. Unfortunately, some affiliates add to this misunderstanding by failing to accurately describe for consumers what they will actually receive when the product is purchased. Additionally, certain affiliates promoted these products in a way that violated the trademarks and other IP rights of third-parties. ClickBank prohibits such promotions.

ClickBank has determined that at least one of the products within the account(s) referenced above that you promote offers such services. Accordingly, please be advised that effective noon, October 15th, 2012 (U.S. Mountain Time), ClickBank will no longer allow transactions involving such products. ClickBank values its relationship with its affiliates, so we are providing you with advance notice of this prohibition so that you may take appropriate steps to move your existing promotions and advertisements to some of the other tens of thousands of quality products currently sold by ClickBank. Hoplinks that direct to Aggregation Products will be blocked on that date.

Again, this letter does not alter or amend the terms of the Client Contract, sets the terms of our legal relationship. If you have questions or concerns about this policy change, or if you need assistance in determining other product niches to promote, please contact your Account Manager or by submitting an inquiry through our Vendor and Affiliate Support form:
