Rules for the road: 10K Traffic Policies and Rules

We have established these rules to help make everyone's experience here the best experience possible.

Station rules: Site content

The following restrictions apply to any page being promoted through 10K Traffic :

• Any code, intentional or accidental, which interrupts the flow of an autosurf browser:
  • Frame breakers are not permitted
  • Pop-ups, Pop-unders, slide-in windows are not permitted
  • Any script, image, or other element which causes a windows-dialog to appear, including but not limited to:
    • Automatic downloads
    • Automatic form submission
    • Blatant scripting errors
• Sites may not display any of the following types of material:
  • Illegal, hacking, warez
  • Pornographic, abusive, obscene or vulgar
  • Racism, Hate-mongering
  • Other material deemed by us to be objectionable
• Sites must be in English, or have an 'English version' function on them

Any site violating these rules will be suspended from rotation (taken off the tracks), and the member will receive a warning.  Blatant and/or repeated violation of content rules is grounds for account termination.

Rider rules: Restrictions on membership

• Members must join for themselves.  Any member caught filling in forms "on behalf of" another member will face immediate account closure.
• Membership is limited to one membership id per physical human being.  (In other words, different accounts under different email addresses that end up at the same person is a violation of our policies.)
• Members may only use one autosurf browser at a time.  No extra credits will be generated by opening a second autosurf browser to the same account.
• Members may not spoof or tamper with our autosurf browser.  Attempts to do so will lead to account termination, and potential membership banning (meaning you can't re-join).
• Members may not send Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE or spam) promoting 10K Traffic in any way, shape or form.  We take spam seriously: if you don't have direct permission to send someone email, you may not advertise on our behalf.

Referrals page views for credits

You may show our referral page through other traffic exchanges.  In your weekly statistics report, you will also get ratios for referrals (how many views, versus how many unique views).  Credits are given in exchange for unique views in a 24-hour period.  We will attempt to store a cookie on the viewer's browser so you can qualify for referral credits from them if they join.

Referral credit

If a member signs up through your referral page, or through our main join screen within 30 days of viewing your referral page (meaning they have your cookie on their browser), you will receive credits when they join, and a percentage of their earnings or spend credited directly to your account.  For details, see the 'pricing / membership levels' page.

Once you have referral credit for a member, they become part of your "downline". 

Emailing your downline (and vice-versa)

In your weekly statistics, you will be notified of new referred members, and if they elected to receive mail from their upline (they get a surf bonus for doing so).

If your downline members permit it (they have the choice, when joining), you may send electronic mail to them through our 'mail your downline' form.  You may not send more than 1 mail per week, and you do not have access to their email address.

You can elect to show or hide your email address.  If you send a message to your downline, even with your email obscured, they can respond through our 'upline response' form.

Content of these emails is subject to the same rules as site content, with the following additional restrictions:

• Be aware that we will receive a copy of any email sent through this method for evaluation of content
• Content sent this way can only contain plain text - no graphics or attachments are permitted

Delivery of hits

We will make every effort to deliver hits to your approved sites as quickly as possible.  We make no guarantees of any kind that you will receive a given number of hits in a certain period of time.

Account closure

You can elect to close your account at any time.  This is done through the members' area.  If closed by mistake, you can un-close an account for up to 72 hours with no loss of credits or referrals.

10K Traffic personnel may also close any account if it is found to violate our policies, either with frame-breaking, popup technology, actions used to cheat the system and/or artificially boost creditcounts, actions to damage either the operation or reputation of our site (including the use of UCE (spam)), or other actions deemed by us to be unsuitable for our membership.

When an account is closed, any remaining credits and referrals are forfeited.  Referred members will rise to the closed member's upline referrer, or be listed as free agents.
