Chad you are correct however, when the TOS are re-written a few hours before SPECIFICALLY for the reason of terminating a single affiliate, that is crazy, as Patti mentioned above, an affiliate agreement IS a contract and their affiliate agreement, imho, isnt worth the HTML it is coded in.
Sam could very easily have taken this to court and won because of the actions Zbucks took this time around.
The worrying thing about all this is, if they have done it once, who's to say that it wont happen again? What if they suddenly decide they dont want affiliates that own dogs to promote them? What if they decide they dont want affiliates who also promote another program to promote them? The list of possibilities is endless here, they have already proven they'll do whatever they like to terminate an affiliate, even if that means ammending an existing legal contract, without any prior warning, id be very cautious about sending any sponsor that did that any traffic.
