My Surveys And My Reviews

Restricted Access to Ciao
Dear members,

Due to the high level of abuse on the site including plagiarism, spamming of members, and revenge ratings, Ciao.com has decided to start restricting membership to certain countries. We have tried to avoid this outcome, but the number of violations has become too great. Although we realize not all members from the now-banned countries were responsible for these problems, and in fact there were many excellent members from these regions, we have found this to be the best and only remaining way to effectively manage the situation.

Members from these banned countries who are otherwise in good standing will still receive any money owed to them. If they have yet to make a payment request, they can contact us at info@ciao.com and we will make the request for them.

We will continue to delete plagiarized and abusive content from the site; please send us abuse reports if you find evidence of a violation of our Terms and Conditions.

Thank you.

Modification of the Invite-a-Friend program
Dear Ciao members,
effective today, we are modifying our Invite-a-Friend Program and our Partner Program. We will no longer offer $1 per member who signs up either under the banners you may have placed on your website or via the emails you have sent out from our site (see Invite Friends). However, we will still pay you a 50 percent commission on your members’ earnings for the first 6 months of their membership. This 50 percent commission includes money awarded for positive ratings they receive, which can be worth 1 cent, 2 cents, or 3 cents. For more information, please see our FAQ pages on this matter: Invite Friends FAQ.

Thank you
