3. Websites must be delivered up to the standards advertised.

Section 3: VCCs/VBAs

1. VCCs & VBAs must not use details or the stolen identity of any real individual. In other words, identity theft will not be tolerated.
2. VCCs and VBAs must be loaded up with the amount advertises in your top-level package. As with any other service, we will have to test the VCC by spending the advertises amount on whichever sites you advertise that they work on. The amount will not be refunded after the review nor can you reclaim the amount in any way. Therefore, ensure the amount in your top-level package is what you're comfortable being used during the review.

Section 4: Email Lists

1. Low bounce rate claims will be verified.
2. Email lists must not have been obtained through hacked databases, or any other illegal method.

2. VAs cannot be forced to be VAs. In other words, any human rights violations will not be tolerated.

Section 7: E-books

1. "Only on BHW" claims will be checked by the reviewing moderator. If the e-book can be found elsewhere, the thread will be rejected.
2. Sellers may not resell someone else's e-book from Amazon or any other website.
3. As is expected of any book, the written content in an e-book must be legible.
4. E-books cannot have more than 10% of their content come up as plagiarised. Furthermore, this 10% rule is to account for quotes from other sources, not for actual plagiarism.
5. E-books cannot contain illegal content or methods.

If your e-book contains any monetary-based claims, you must follow the rules below to submit video proof of these claims.

• A video screen recording where you're logged into whatever platform(s) where your monetary claims are form (e.g., if the claims are from Amazon Affiliates, you must log into your Amazon Affiliates account, not your bank or PayPal account)
• The entire browser, including the address bar, must be visible.
• Every web page in your video must be refreshed.
• You need to select the appropriate time period of your monetary claims (e.g., if you claim you earned $30,000 in 2020 from doing this, you must select Jan 1st, 2020 to Dec 31st, 2020)
• All of the above must happen in one straight recording session; do not cut any part of the video.

Please note that this is not optional, and failure to follow the instructions will result in a rejection.
