  • Offences and crimes
DEF

Bogus activity generated by an affiliate in an attempt to generate illegitimate, unearned revenue.

After the fact, affiliate fraud can sometimes be spotted by checking activity logs for unusual patterns. Proactive protection may involve manually approving affiliate applications, although this minimization of fraud must be balanced against the risk of losing legitimate, productive affiliates who don’t want to wait for approval.

Record 3 2008-09-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

Ordinarily, mere silence or passive failure to disclose the truth are not actionable, however deceptive in fact. This rule not doubt reflects generally accepted ethics of the market place for parties dealing at arm's length; even if its tolerance has sometimes been put to the severest stress as when a seller of thyphoid-infected pigs successfully insisted that his failure to disclose the disease was neither fraud nor reason for disregarding an express disclaimer of all warranties.
