“Do not link to our website”
Posted on: Friday, February 6th, 2009
So I was sent a link to BuyBuy.com, a French website that features high-end fashion trends and articles and such. Now I lived in France for quite a few years and am familiar with the lack of understanding many folks have of the Internet and how it works and how it can be useful, but I figured that an online business would at least have some sense of what is beneficial for their business… links to their website. I guess not. I found this on their policy page:
2.3 Hypertext links
The creation of any hypertext links going to any one of the pages of this website is prohibited, unless authorized in writing by DREAMAG (name of company that owns BuyBuy.com), which can at any point in time be revoked.
(Then it goes on to say something about the fact that BuyBuy.com is not responsible for the content on websites that do link to them.)
Here a screenshot of the original, in French:
From buybuy.com.
