Site names are added automatically to all awards. They should not contain symbols or signs such as @ ~ ' + or & as they may not be recognized when added to awards.

Once your site is a member of 1Award if you change your site name we cannot transfer votes to your new site. (e.g. from 1Award.co.uk to 1Awardfriends.co.uk) Each site is registered individually under it's own name and is voted for individually.

If you move your site to a new URL (e.g. from 1Award.co.uk to 1Award.com) we can only transfer votes if we can verify who you are.

Voting
Votes are automatically recorded along with your IP address in our database, which is maintained at regular intervals. See our Privacy Policy  If we find irregularities in the votes recorded we may adjust votes accordingly and sites may be removed from bronze, silver or gold award links. Sites that cause persistent problems may be removed from 1Award. Our decision is final.

We are aware that no matter what system is in place to make voting fair, there is always someone who will try to beat the system. We believe that most people want to achieve a 1Award trophy by voting honestly.
