Please cease the misinformation you are propagating on your website (www.hotfurs.com) in relation to my own (www.hekshano.com). You have hekshano.com listed under your affiliates section. I will quote from your affiliates program website (http://hotfurs.com/verotelprivew.htm) how the site is not in line with your requirements.
"Our Affiliates program allows you, the future affiliate get a piece of the action, with a whopping 28% to every refer sign up INCLUDING the reoccurring fees we allow you to attain the excess cash that you want from the work of putting OUR banner up. Don't worry, no gimmicks here just the business of a commissioned referee."
The banner in question does not exist on hekshano.com in any location. It does not exist on the link page (http://hekshano.com/linkies.html) nor the exchanges page (http://hekshano.com/exchanges.html). It would therefore be in a violation of your terms for affiliate agreement.
"We are also glad to announce that this is totally RISK free which means if they cancel their account you STILL get your commission to the closing date. "
As stated here referrals are not needed to obtain a commissioned artwork. I have never obtained commissioned artwork or payment from hotfurs.com, hotfurs.com webmaster or any associated parent companies. By this we can see hotfurs.com is in violation of its own terms if you maintain still hekshano.com is an affiliate.
I have never signed up with verotel.com, which handles hotfurs.com payments. There is no record of me in their servers and I will gladly have verotel back this up in a court of law if need be. I have therefore never signed the affiliate agreement, nor signed up hekshano.com as an affiliate to hotfurs.com.
"Don't worry, no gimmicks here just the business of a commissioned referee."
Obviously this is an untrue statement. Therefore I am requesting formally the removal of the banner (http://hotfurs.com/pictures/frontpage/SHIMObrokenpencil.gif) and link (http://www.hekshano.com) from the affiliates section of your front page (http://hotfurs.com/) and any other locations on hotfurs.com where hekshano.com may be listed as an affiliate. If you desire to continue linking to the website, that is fine, but I am formally requesting you do not do so under false pretenses. As a piece of advice to an obviously novice businessman and webmaster, I beseech you never to lie about business relations specifically to gain recognition.
This e-mail will be copied and redistributed to proper authorities as well as displayed prominently where possible customers of yours will be able to see it.
Regards;

This was sent back after the letter above was sent. I'm posting it here because it is flat out hilarious and need to share. Okay, yeah, i MST'd it. my comments are in italics. I actually put them there to point out some things as it goes along, like how the laws he cite have nothing to do with the issue and the terms he uses are inaccurate to what he's claiming. It was sent on october 26th 2005 from the admin. the non-italicised text is his own. i make no claim to it. |3 seriously.
| From: The Admin's Desk from Hotfurs.com To: tickles the tapeworm Date: Oct 26, 2005 12:50 AM This is after midnight. In no US timezone was this within lawyer business hours. Just keep that in mind while you read.
As stated,
you are not a RECOGNIZED affiliate. The link is thus posted from the agreement made online via Character Referral of Shimofuri back in 2004 before a beseeched online slander say it with me. "ONLINE SLANDER." slander is spoken, libel is written. this wasn't written by a lawyer, obviously. also beseeched means to implore, or to request. see? so uh... he requested i slander him online? the gibberish only gets worse from here, folks. and smear actions were made by such individual. "whose real name i don't know since this never happened and i can't back it up!" In retort to not only personal maintained insult this "Character" has a forum with a posted "whisperlog" that violates the 1998 California/USA state privacy act under the First A. Rights to Privacy. links? proof? REALITY CHECK? a conversation pasted from AIM violates nothing, legally. once again, obvious a real lawyer didn't write this. notice also how freaking INCOMPREHENSABLE it is. also you can read the mentioned 1998 california online privacy act yourself, it has to do with spyware, spam and personal information such as credit cards and addresses. not chat files. Globalized posting of this conversation between Source A and Source B go over nothing more then a smear/counter smear activity thus enabling the right to maintain any postings of Source A or Source B and until Such is withdraw and a OFFICIAL State License and Sellers Permit for Henkoshan.com nice way to know the url in question mr. 'lawyer'. i dunno about anyone reading this, but i know i would be very upset if henkoshan.com's internet license and internet selling permit were revoked. i only just learned henkoshan had them :( is brought forth as official Corp. status. Voided Status will remain. voided status of what? i'm really curious about this. voided status of an affiliate agreement i never signed? voided status of my internet license? man, i studied for a week and had to use an old mac preforma 500 to practice for my internet test. i don't want to have to get my internet license reissued. As forward Representative Robert A. Rankin has made attempts to correct this slander there's that talkin' internet again issue it has been VERIFIED that the smear attempt still exists for those curious, i THINK he's talking about the forum thread 'yiv, the never ending anal' started by jay. who is a different person. on demon-sushi.com. which is a different domain name. and thus, under freedom of right for expression the banner and Link, posted by Hotfurs.com Design Inc. except it's not freedom of expression. it's a claim to a business partnership that doesn't exist. will be maintained until all and ANY material posted by or involving anything with set Representative Character:Shimofuri OR His Respective Creator S. ***** until all material WHAT? the sentance ends here. In honor of such removal of material posted with-out permission the banner to said site www.hotfurs.com will be removed. Countersuit WILL be filed with both state and national court if received e-mail below is considered a threat of suit. okay okay barring the blaitent spelling errors, he would also realize (if he was literate) no suit has been filed. i was advised -by FRIENDS, too- to ask politely and formally to remove the banner from the affiliates section. and uh. yeah. he's also saying that he will remove a link TO his site. there ARE no links to his site here. i have no idea what is happening in this sentance. it's not very professional, that's for sure. Also, SUCH BANNER MENTIONED is NOT directly under mentioned affiliates and
he JUST in the past four minutes changed it to read 'links to see (pending legal pussydom)'- fine by me. he can leave it up then, since it's clear it's not business related now. but wow, i'd give this guy my credit card number like i'd give hannibal lecter a salt shaker and a chainsaw. no mention of YOU or YOUR companies involvement has been made in action with VEROTEL. you need to sign up with verotel to be an affiliate of his site. if i had been an affiliate, i would have had to sign up on verotel by his own system :\ Thus, false accusations are frowned upon and such accusations can be considered SLANDER there's that talkin internet again and CONTEMPT OF VALIDITY WITHOUT PROOF. except the proof of not being an affiliate was readily offered in the first email with links and easily backed up information :B You are NOT a Affiliate. no shit It has been a KNOWN FACT that the banner was posted in transaction as a banner sharing agreement, except i never signed up for any affiliation agreement and that contract can be maintained as long as further criteria mentioned earlier has been mentioned. whut further criteria
Public Division V.I.B.E. Ent. International/(Sub-Hotfurs.com),
Best Wishes,
so in the end, he pretended to be a lawyer when it was blaitently obvious he wasn't. he did change the section it was listed under so it no longer read affiliates. he made up pretend laws and accusations and sent an e-mail that was barely english, complete with sentances that ended in the middle of nowhere. he didn't even spellcheck. he didn't even get the URL RIGHT. seriously, i would NEVER give my money to a person like this. |
Actually (added 27 of oct 2005) a lot of people have been asking me if this is a joke and if i was messing with his text. here's SCREENSHOTS of his email. i am DEAD FREAKING SERIOUS about this, guys. this is exactly what he wrote. shot one, shot two
It also got pointed out to me by a friend who works as an intern in a legal office that lawyers will sign letters like this with confidentiality agreements. There's none on this, like you can see from the screenshots. Also he didn't state his 'lawyer's name, which i think is required if you do that so you can check if they're. you know. allowed to practice law. i have a feeling HR stands for 'hotfurs' and 'rankin' or something he made up on the fly.
added nov. 21st 2005: apparently the link is still up on the page, despite the webmaster sending an email to a third party claiming he took it down. what's MORE interesting is he apparently sent this email WITHOUT the knowledge of the company V.I.B.E., and citing two names that aren't even employees. i got this whisper on furcadia.



wow. just wow. a real trustworthy businessman this webmaster turned out to be.
yiv. slander isn't written, one. two, you changed the thing so it doesn't read affiliates. which is basicly all i requested. the letter (which was obviously written by you and not a lawyer) is now going to be posted on the same site as my formal request to stop. you just made yourself look like a HUGE MORON. at least spell and grammar check your letters if you want to pretend to be a lawyer. also, wow. way to be as bad as jack thompson and fail to even spell my url correctly.
also, there's no law in california (come on, link me to it. quit making shit up and provide proof) stating you can't post chat transcripts. you cannot post PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION such as home addresses and telephone numbers but chat transcripts which do not contain this are perfectly legal.
god you're a moron.
