3.1 Identity and Disclosure. You must provide true
and complete information to us at all times; including but not limited
to, your identity, contact information, payment instructions,
nationality, residency, location of Banners and Text Links and any
other information that we may request from time to time.
3.2 Marketing Activities. You will, at your own
cost and expense, establish the casino site we send to you onto the
internet, or use Banners/Text Links to the Software. We will provide
you the guidelines, graphical artwork and permitted text to use in
linking to the Software. To permit accurate tracking, reporting and
Marketing Fee accrual, we will provide you with a unique Tracker for
your use only. It is your responsibility to test that you have linked
up correctly as we are not liable for your failure to link up
properly.
3.3 Multiple Trackers. You may not have more than
one Tracker code or membership number, unless specifically agreed by
OCN Casino in writing. If you have activated more than
one Tracker by submitting more than one application, then please let
us know at
support@ocncasino.com
so we can consolidate our records.
3.4 Responsible Marketing. You will be solely
responsible for your own websites and for the material appearing on
them. You represent and warrant that you will not place Banners or
Text Links to us on any website that contains any material which is
libellous, unlawful or otherwise unsuitable. Unsuitable sites include
but are not limited to websites which target persons under 18 years of
age, display child pornography or other illegal acts, promote
violence, promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age, promote illegal
activities and/or violate the intellectual property rights of others.
Spam, in any form, will not be tolerated and is cause for immediate
termination of your participation. In this event, all outstanding and
future monies shall be permanently forfeited.
3.5 Good Faith Marketing. You will not knowingly or
unknowingly benefit from known or suspected Fraud Traffic. Even if you
did not knowingly generate the Fraud Traffic, we reserve the right to
withhold the amount generated by the Fraud Traffic from your Marketing
Fees, or terminate this Agreement at our discretion. This is
including, but not limited to, opening an account in your own name
through your own Tracker.
3.6 Intellectual Property Rights and License.
During the term of this Agreement only, we grant you a terminable, non
exclusive, non transferable right to use the Banners and Text Links
SOLELY for connecting Players to us through your Tracker. You may not
take any action that may alter our rights in our marks, render the
same generic or otherwise weaken the validity and good will of our
marks.
3.7 Indemnification. You will defend, indemnify and
hold us and our officers, directors, employees and representative
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and
costs, resulting from or arising from, your breach of this Agreement.
3.8 Player Information. By opening an account using
the Software, Players will become our Players, and accordingly, all of
our rules, policies and operating procedures will apply to them. We
may in our sole discretion refuse to serve (or to close the account(s)
of) any Player(s). Further, all data relating to the Players will
remain our sole and exclusive property and you acquire no right to
such information.
3.9 Banners and Text Links. All banners and text
links relating to OCN Casino remain the sole property of OCN Casino and you must not continue to use any part thereof in the
event of termination of this contract.
IV. REPORTS & PAYMENTS
4.1 Reports. We will track and report Player
activities as necessary to summarize Player activity for purposes of
calculating your Marketing Fees. The form, content and frequency of
the reports may vary from time to time in our sole discretion.
Generally, you will be provided with remote, unique password
protected, online access to the total number and amount of all
Purchases and Redeems, for your Tracker on a daily and
monthly basis.
4.2 Tracking. When a new Player opens an account
through your Tracker, our system credits the Player to you based on a
tracking system to ensure as close to 100% tracking as possible. In pursuit of state of the art
systems, we may at any time change how the tracking is done as we in
our sole discretion decide from time to time. Once an account is
actually opened, then the account is permanently tagged with your
Tracker so that all subsequent activity relating to that account will
be credited to you via our database until the account is closed or
this Agreement is terminated, whichever occurs first.
4.3 Marketing Fees. You will be paid for your
marketing efforts based upon the agreed percentage of Net Revenues
generated on your Tracker(s) per calendar month or on a CPA basis per
each new depositing Player, as set forth below.
Commissions payable to you
will be either:
1) 30% of net, if monthly net revenue is below $24,999 or 45% of
net, if monthly net revenue is above $25,000* **(net revenue=
purchases less redeems cashed out by players less processing fees less bonuses and chargebacks); or
2) $50 per each depositing account up to 20
and $100 per each thereafter.
4.4 Time for Payment. We pay all Marketing Fees on,
or near the twentieth (20th) day after the close of each calendar
month, by check, Neteller, OCN Casino casino account or wire transfer as you prefer. If you
prefer wire, there is a $35.00 wire fee, per wire, which will be
deducted from your payments. We may in our sole discretion require
that payments in excess of $1,000.00 be wired to your account. All
marketing fees due and payable hereunder will be paid in United States
Dollars only.
4.5 Payment Minimums. If commissions earned do not
exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00 USD) in any given month, then the
payment will be carried over to the following month until they exceed
$100.00 USD. If the amount due
for a particular pay period is negative (Redeems exceed Purchases)
then the negative amount will be cancelled and zeroed out for the following pay
period.
V. TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 Term and Termination. This Agreement will take
effect when you receive confirmation of acceptance of your completed
application form and will be continuous unless and until either party notifies the
other party, in writing, that it wishes to terminate the Agreement, in
which case, the Agreement will terminate immediately. TERMINATION IS
AT WILL BY EITHER PARTY.
5.2 Effect of Termination The following will apply
upon the effective date of termination:
-(a) You will remove all banners and text links to
our Site and/or we may disable any or all of your Trackers;
-(b) All rights and licenses given to you under
this Agreement will terminate immediately;
-(c) You will return all confidential information
and cease use of any of our trade names, trademarks, service marks,
logos, banners and other designations of OCN Casino;
-(d) We may withhold Marketing Fees for up to one
hundred and eighty (180) days to ensure that the correct amount is
paid and that any fraud has been reversed;
-(e) If link remains open or if Players obtained
through the Tracker are still allowed to play and repurchase at our
Site this will not constitute a continuation or renewal of this
Agreement; and
-(f) You will be entitled to only to those unpaid
Marketing Fees, if any, earned by you on or prior to the date of
termination. You will not be entitled to Marketing Fees with respect
to Player activities made after the termination date.
-(g) If your participation is terminated due to
abuse of the program, all outstanding and future monies will be
forfeited.
5.3 Suspension of Trackers. In the event you breach
any provision of this Agreement and/or we receive a complaint against
a particular Tracker, we may in our sole discretion, disable that
particular Tracker, with or without notice, temporarily or
permanently. In such cases, it is our sole option to suspend or
disable your links on a Tracker by Tracker basis rather than
completely terminating this Agreement. The fact that we choose to
leave some Trackers open does not entitle you to have all Tracker(s)
operational or reactivated, nor does it entitle you to compensation
for the disabled Trackers.

limits, address verification or negative and positive credit card
