Dear Client:
Due to the revised U.S.C. 2257 scheduled to take effect on June 23, 2005 we have updated our AUP and changed our policy regarding material uploaded to our Customized CCBill Subscription (Join) Forms.
With regards to our CCBill and CCBill EU AUP updates, we have added the following verbiage to the .Section 3: Violation of CCBill Policy:.
K. Websites must comply with the 18 U.S.C. 2257. Clients must determine their legal responsibility to and method of complying with 18 U.S.C. 2257 where required to do so.
L. Any material uploaded to a CCBill subscription page, (aka .join page.) must be non-sexual in nature, and may only include non-nude individuals. CCBill reserves the right to review and reject any material for any reason.

Please rest assured that the subscription page change (noted as .L. above) does not take away your unique ability to create your own customized, CCBill sign up forms with the same look and feel as your website. This change will only place specific limits on the types of images you may now offer on your customized subscription forms.
Effective immediately, we ask that you no longer upload any images to your CCBill Customized subscription forms which are either sexual in nature, or include nude individuals. At 10:00 am (PST) on Thursday, June 16, 2005, all existing images uploaded by clients to their customized CCBill sub-account subscription forms will be required to undergo a CCBill Policy Review, must be non-sexual in nature, and may only include non-nude individuals. CCBill will reserve the right to review and reject any material for any reason.
If you find that you are currently uploading images that are either sexual in
nature, or are of nude individuals, please replace these images using the Upload Banner tool located on the left pane of the Form Admin, with compliant material prior to Thursday, June 16, 2005 at 10:00 am PST.
Please note: during the initial Policy Review of Customized Form images (48 to 72 hours), and all subsequent reviews for new Customized Form images, all pending and violating images will be replaced with a .blanket. image that is the same color as your Customized Form background color, thus, eliminating the possibility of broken images from populating your CCBill Customized Subscription form during this pending phase.If images are submitted after the June 16th deadline, they may take several days to be processed due to high volume. We strongly encourage all our clients to adhere to this new policy prior to the Thursday, June 16th deadline in order to forego any delay in the review of their Custom Form images, and to avoid issues with their signup page appearance.
In addition to these changes, we will no longer allow for URL links to be included in the Custom Text option of the customized form Layout tools located on the left pane of the Form Admin.
