Terms and Conditions

1. Definitions
   For simplicity we will refer to participants in this incentive program as Originators, and Progeny.
   
   
2. Mechanism of Referral
   Post a link (in an image, or in text) to the e-gold site similar to one of the following:
   
   http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid={your account number}
   https://www.e-gold.com/newacct/newaccount.asp?cid={your account number}
   
   For example, someone with account number 100052 would make it:
   
   http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid=100052
   
   All e-gold account holders are Originators. When you direct a new user to the e-gold system using these links, they become your Progeny. You will be the beneficiary of incentive payments generated by the Progeny account. You will receive an email notifying you as each of your Progeny are "born".  When a user clicks any of the links, a cookie, with a one week expiration, is set on the prospect's browser (assuming the prospect has browser cookies enabled - the default setting). If they create an account anytime within one week, the new account is awarded to the Originator. In the event that the prospect clicks links to e-gold from several sources, the last one clicked is awarded the Progeny account.
   
   
Fully Automatic
The originator system is totally automatic. Please do not contact e-gold to attempt to change your Originator after your account has been created.


3. Intended Duration of Incentive Program
   This is intended to be an ongoing, even permanent, arrangement. We reserve the right, however, to discontinue it, or alter the split, or to change payment processing fees (or eliminate them altogether), at any time, without notice other than a statement on the www.e-gold.com web site.
   
   
4. Eligibility
   An Originator must have an e-gold account [incentive payments are automatically credited to the designated Originator's account]. We prefer an Originator to have a web site, for reasons discussed below, but we reserve the right to make exceptions. The Originator must bide by the restrictions detailed below.
   
   
5. Disqualification
   We reserve the right to de-activate any Originator's Origination privileges for any reason (or without cause). In the event of de-activation, Progeny that were created prior to de-activation are not taken away. The (former) Originator simply loses the ability to benefit from new Progeny. An example action that will result in loss of Originator privilege is sending mass unsolicited email (so called "spamming") promoting e-gold or containing your originator link.
   
   
6. Restrictions
   Graphics (and incidental graphic contest) Please submit graphics for approval. We prefer graphics to incorporate our e-gold logo. Text within graphics should comply with the restrictions in text, below. Some sample banners are also attached below. If you come up with a graphical design that is better than the ones we currently use, we will abstain from pirating it, rather we will offer a bid for its use.
   
   
7. Text
   Words have meanings, and there is a tendency for people, in explaining e-gold in their own words, to employ terms which are imprecise and which engender confusion. Please do not refer to a bailment as a deposit, or the e-gold system as a bank. An e-gold payment order is not a check. The e-gold monetary/payments system is not a financial system (though it will certainly be used as a foundation for financial activity). Redemption is not the same as currency exchange. Redemption means to exchange your e-gold for bullion coins or bars [the reverse of bailment]. Currency exchange is to exchange national currencies to or from e-metal (or one e-metal for another). An e-metal balance is accounted by weight, so please do not make reference to withdrawing dollars or some other national currency. We do not hold national currencies on account for anyone.
   
   
8. Cheating Your Own Originator
   Cheating your own Originator disqualifies you for further participation as an Originator.
