BannerWomen Terms & Conditions

By joining BannerWomen, members have indicated that they agree to the following Terms and Conditions. Compliance with the terms and conditions ensures that only appropriate sites become BannerWomen network members and that all network advertising meets BannerWomen standards.

Any account or member violating these terms will be immediately removed from the BannerWomen ad network.

By joining, members have indicated agreement to the following:

  1. Members agree to insert the provided HTML code for displaying banners on their website. The HTML code may not be modified in any way without written permission from BannerWomen.

  2. The BannerWomen code MUST appear in the top screen shot. This also means YOUR banner will appear in the most effective location on other member sites in the network. No scrolling should be necessary to view entire banner.
  3. A banner that appears on your site at any time may be a banner from another member, from a paying non-member (helps us cover costs and be able to run the network free for you), or from a banner promoting BannerWomen (to build more exposure sources for your banner).

  4. Only one (1) BannerWomen banner may be placed on a page. A page is what is displayed on one screen, so members who use frames must count all individual pages in the frame as one page for banner placement purposes.

  5. A member may not artificially inflate traffic counts to her/his site using any device, program, robot or other means. A banner cannot be placed on a page which reloads automatically or auto-forwards to another page via scripts or META tags. BannerWomen banners may not be placed in newsgroups, email, chat rooms, guestbooks, or message boards unless permission is granted from BannerWomen. Attempting to randomize the uniqueness of the calling URL on each page pull is also considered to be artifically inflating traffic counts.

  6. Any member caught artificially inflating traffic counts will be terminated without notice.

  7. A member can only register page(s) which are linked into the structure of their website. An example of "hidden" pages which are not acceptable would be if your real home page is index.html, building a hidden page called index2.htm that isn't really linked where users to your real site would be visiting it. The point is to leverage pages on your site which receive traffic and by placing the BannerWomen code on these pages, you earn free advertising to get even more traffic to your site.

  8. A member's banner must conform to the program requirements: 468x60 pixels and total file size 8.0k or less. Animation is acceptable but please note some browsers (i.e. AOL 3.0) do not support animation.

  9. BannerWomen reserves the right to refuse to continue membership to any Web site in the BannerWomen network that contains or has links to nudity, sexual situations, pornography, hate groups, illegal activities, offensive material or for any other reason.

  10. BannerWomen reserves the right to refuse to continue membership to any Web site deemed to be competition, including, but not limited to, other banner exchange services.

  11. BannerWomen's name, logo, software, databases, reports (including online reports), website, and information are proprietary and protected under copyright laws. Written permission by BannerWomen is required to use any of this information.

  12. Members agree that their website information (name, URL, traffic counts, etc.) may be used by BannerWomen.

  13. The information members provide to BannerWomen will be kept confidential and will not be distributed to any outside agency. An exception to this would be in cases where potential non-member paying advertisers are interested in a member site and want to know basic profile items such as traffic, audience demographics, etc.

  14. Members agree to use BannerWomen at their own risk.

  15. BannerWomen makes every effort to verify and maintain a high standard of service quality, but BannerWomen does not make any guarantees regarding the dependability or accuracy of BannerWomen's services.

  16. BannerWomen will attempt to correct inconsistencies in exposure credits due any member based on the member's proof of inconsistency.

  17. BannerWomen, its administrators, partners and sponsors cannot be held liable for any damage or loss of information that may occur from the use of BannerWomen services.

  18. BannerWomen reserves the right to modify, or change these Terms and Conditions as it deems necessary. It is the member's responsibility to keep current with the changes in the Terms and Conditions, since the changes are effective for all members, regardless of when member joined. Updates will be evident by the date modified at the bottom of this page.
