If it is not, we may write to you and ask for occasional changes. If you are unable (or unwilling for time-required or other reasons) to make these changes, we may temporarily remove our link to your site until the changes are made. Also, if your site appears to be inactive or abandoned (for example, if we do not receive responses to our Emails or if the site has not been updated in six months), we may also remove the link.
