We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine, at our sole discretion, that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:

• Promote sexually explicit materials
  
• Promote violence
  
• Promote illegal activities
  
• Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
  
• Include "LandBigFish.com" or variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names

Question: What if I live outside the United States?

Answer: We welcome you to join our program and to help promote LandBigFish.com to your visitors. However, we currently only ship to U.S. addresses, including U.S. Military FPO/APO mail addresses. If your site only attracts visitors from outside the U.S., you most likely will not generate any revenue from adding our link. On the other hand, if you believe that you get a variety of visitors from all countries including the U.S., your site may ultimately benefit.
