Why would you assume that someone promising to mistreat all affiliates is going to be different with you because you are special?
But this discussion is about "gotcha" moments by scanning a programs TOS and picking it apart. No program has EVER "promised" to treat you badly. A TOS page is meaningless and even moreso, if you actually have any traffic. Not that it shouldn't be read and understood,... but no serious, established company is going to refrain from doing the right thing when dealing with a legitimate webmaster. Those are the companies you work with. You don't choose a place to send traffic to based on a page which a 16 yr old Indian designer stole from another program and where the idiotic program owners likely only did a search and replace for names. You work with serious, established people that you can trust with your traffic and trust to pay you. That means they have to have a track record of doing the right thing. All business' are the same. Good sense is good sense. Managing risk well is managing risk well.
