As you may know, President Bush recently signed into law the Can Spam Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-187). This new law, which takes effect on January 1, 2004, is intended to cut down on the rising level of unsolicited commercial email. To do so, it imposes certain requirements for the delivery of commercial email and institutes certain penalties for failing to comply with such requirements. Due to this new law, please take note of the changes to our Affiliate Agreement which can be found by visiting: http://www.onegreatfamily.com/affiliate/affiliateagreement.htm

Email Marketing Policy

(a) Spamming - is strictly prohibited. For the purposes of this Agreement, spamming shall be defined as the sending out of email messages to email addresses which the Affiliate has purchased or has harvested/collected from the Internet or otherwise, which email addresses have been obtained without the consent of the recipient. In addition, for email marketing done to "Permission Based" email lists, defined as your house list of subscribers, customers or other consumers who have requested to receive mailings from you, all affiliates/partners must also abide by the 'Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003', or the `CAN-SPAM Act of 2003'. The practice of spamming and/or infringement of the Can-Spam Act of 2003 is a violation of our Policies and Procedures, and we will take action at its sole discretion against Affiliates engaging in spamming or non-compliant mailings. These actions may include one or more of the following:

• In the event OneGreatFamily receives one (1) or more spamming complaint, the Affiliate’s account will be immediately suspended while we investigate the complaint(s), and commissions will not be tracked during that time.
• In the event the investigation reveals that spamming did occur, OneGreatFamily may at is option, terminate the Affiliate’s account in accordance with our termination policy.
  b) Permission based emailing must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. There are 3 primary rules that will be strictly enforced:
  
  1. Email address must have been obtained with permission
  2. Every email sent must have the actual business address listed in the email
  3. Every "bulk" email sent must have an "Unsubscribe" link that works

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 29, 2003--Revenue, the first magazine focused on the fast-growing field of Internet affiliate marketing, will launch January 14th, Montgomery Research, Inc. announced today.

"We're very pleased to be launching Revenue to serve a growing audience at a time when many other business and technology magazines are struggling. We've found tremendous demand from affiliates, merchants and advertisers for this publication," said Publisher Nick Smith.

Revenue explores the strategies, technologies, designs and best-practices that help affiliates and merchants achieve success in affiliate marketing, a fast-growing area of e-commerce in which independent Web publishers, usually operating as small businesses, generate commissions by introducing consumers to the sites of larger merchants.

Thousands of affiliate programs involving over 1 million affiliates collectively generate more than $1 billion in revenue for merchants that include large retailers such as Target, Eddie Bauer, Blair Corp., Amazon.com and hundreds of other well-known corporations in the U.S. and around the world.

"We view affiliate marketing as an important stage in the growth of e-commerce that will benefit consumers and merchants with better Web content, higher ethical standards and competitive pricing," said Editor-in-Chief Tom Murphy, who leads an all-star team of business journalists, marketing experts, affiliates and industry practitioners.

Revenue will be available through major book and magazine dealers. It will also be sold through subscriptions, including those offered through the magazine's own affiliate marketing program.
