ATTENTION ALL WEBMASTERS
Take the time to read these Terms and Conditions when
you become part of the HotBuxxx team. They are not
unreasonable; however, we DO enforce them.
It won't take more than a few minutes to go over the
rules. Compliance makes for a profitable relationship between
you and HotBuxxx. We are all in this business to make money.
Business relationships on the internet are important. When you
break the rules, trust is broken and very hard to re
establish. Your reputation for compliance is as important as
our reputation for paying on time.
