Theres a BUNCH OF IMPORTANT CHANGES. Gotta read it. Jangro broke all the changes down in detail at the 2nd link below. I just blogged but will post here too:
From 5 Star Blog Yesterday:
There has been lots of concern and speculation by affiliates regarding CJ's new Publisher Service Agreement that just came out. Lots of conspiracy theories too. Now for some people change always causes concerns, so I am not saying at this time whether the concerns are justified or not. I have not been able to carve out the time to dig into the new PSA at all so can't really comment too much personally. I'm glad Scott Jangro had time to investigate. He published some of the most important changes in an overview here:

But really take a closer look at his in-depth comparison here! http://jangro.com/cj-psa-changes.htm
There are some significant changes in the new PSA so even if you typically ignore legalese, you should take a look at this. One of the important changes is that all affiliates need to have a privacy policy on their site which incudes this:
"You must fully and accurately disclose Your use of third party technology, including CJ's tracking technology, use of cookies and options for discontinuing use of such cookies."Another thing some affiliates are concerned about is that sales can be reversed anytime and not just limited to 60 days after the sale. One thing that jumped out at me also is this: You can be deactivated by CJ if "Your Account has not been logged into and/or there have been no Transactions credited to Your Account for any 30 day period." There is some really important stuff in here that all CJ affiliates should read.
What do you guys think?
