YPN Updates Terms And Conditions: Nothing Major For Publishers

Mar 21, 2006 - 7:43 am 0 by

Yahoo! Publisher Network publishers received an email last night from YPN stating there has been "several updates" to the terms and conditions posted at https://publisher.yahoo.com/legal/tnc.php. And as JenSense reports these changes most likely do not affect most publishers. I pulled up the Google cache of the old terms and conditions and compared it with the new terms and conditions, as did Jen. We both noticed the same thing; they added two sections;

You agree that you will not distribute from or promote on Your Sites or Your RSS Feeds any software application that is (or may reasonably be construed as) spyware, adware or trackware.

If you are a sole proprietor, you are not an employee of Yahoo! Search Marketing; if you are an entity, you are not owned by an employee(s) of Yahoo! Search Marketing.

Um, well, nothing really drastic here. But the forums are discussing it, so I thought it was worth a brief mention here.
