6. REPORTS & PAYMENTS

6.1 REPORTS: RSP will track and report Player activity for purposes of calculating Your Affiliate Accruals.

In addition, daily reports may be available online for You to view new Real Money Players per Tracker. RSP hereby excludes any and all liability for the accuracy or completeness of any such reports.

6.2 AFFILIATE ACCRUALS: Subject to Section 6.4 below, Affiliate Accruals will be paid to You on a calendar month basis in accordance with the Payment Plan after You have completed the registration process and/or where RSP has activated additional Trackers.

RSP may impose reasonable restrictions on the frequency and amounts that can be cashed out of Your Affiliate Cashier Account for administrative convenience and/or to protect the security of Your account. Further, if the amount due is negative in any particular month, then that negative amount will carry over and be deducted against the following month. In the event, the balance carried over does not exceed US $50 within a consecutive three (3) month period, then the amount due will be voided and cancelled, and RSP has the right to terminate the affiliate agreement in this case.

6.5 HOLDOVER FOR FRAUD TRAFFIC: In the event that, in RSP’s sole discretion, RSP suspects any Fraud Traffic, then RSP may delay payment of the Affiliate Accruals to You for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days while RSP investigates and verifies the relevant transactions. RSP is not obligated to pay Affiliate Accruals in respect of Real Money Players who, in RSP’s sole discretion, are not verifiably who they claim to be or are otherwise involved with Fraud Traffic. In the event that RSP determines any activity to constitute Fraud Traffic, or to otherwise be in contravention of this Agreement, then in RSP’s sole discretion RSP may: (i) pay the Affiliate Accruals in full, (ii) recalculate them in light of such suspected Fraud Traffic and/or (iii) forfeit Your future Affiliate Accruals in respect of Fraud Traffic (as appropriate).

6.6 METHOD OF PAYMENT: All payments will be due and payable in United States Dollars or such other currency as RSP will determine. Payment will be made in whatever fashion RSP decides; however, RSP will use reasonable endeavors to accommodate Your preferred payment method. Charges for wires or courier charges for checks will be covered by You and deducted from Your Affiliate Accruals. For the avoidance of doubt, RSP has no liability to pay any currency conversion charges or any charges associated with the transfer of monies to Your Affiliate Cashier Account.

6.7 PLAYER TRACKING: You understand and agree that potential Real Money Players must link through using Your Tracker ID or use Your sign-up bonus code in order for You to receive Affiliate Accruals. In no event is RSP liable for Your failure to use Trackers or for potential Real Money Players failing to properly enter valid sign-up bonus codes. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, RSP may at any time and in RSP’s sole discretion alter RSP’s tracking system and reporting format.

6.8 DISPUTES: If You disagree with the monthly reports or amount payable, You must NOT accept payment for such amount and immediately send RSP written notice of Your dispute. Dispute notices must be received within thirty (30) days of RSP making available Your monthly report or Your right to dispute such report or payment will be deemed waived and You shall have no claims in such regard. Further, deposit of payment check, acceptance of payment transfer or acceptance of other payment from RSP by You will be deemed full and final settlement of Affiliate Accruals due for the month indicated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any overpayment is made in the calculation of Your Affiliate Accruals RSP reserves the right to correct such calculation at any time and to reclaim from You any overpayment made by RSP to You.

13.1 NOTICES: All notices pertaining to this Agreement will be given by E-Mail to You at the E-Mail address provided by You on the Affiliate Sign Up Form (or as subsequently updated by You to RSP in the event of change). Any notice sent by E-Mail shall be deemed received on the earlier of an acknowledgement being sent or twenty-four (24) hours from the time of transmission.

13.2 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES: There is no relationship of exclusivity, partnership, joint venture, employment, agency or franchise between You or RSP under this Agreement. Neither party has the authority to bind the other (including the making of any representation or warranty, the assumption of any obligation or liability and/or the exercise of any right or power), except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

13.3 NON-EXCLUSIVE: You understand that RSP may at any time (directly or indirectly), enter into marketing terms with other Affiliates on the same or different terms as those provided to You in this Agreement and that such Affiliates may be similar, and even competitive, to You. You understand that RSP may re-direct traffic and users from any of the Sites to any other online site that RSP deems appropriate in its sole discretion, without any additional compensation to You.

13.4 CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON DISCLOSURE: As an Affiliate, You may receive confidential information from RSP, including confidential information as to RSP’s marketing plans, marketing concepts, structure and payments. This information is confidential to RSP and constitutes RSP’s proprietary trade secrets. You shall not disclose this information to third parties or use such information other than for the purposes of this Agreement without RSP’s prior written consent, save as expressly required by law (provided that any such disclosure is only to the extent so required).

13.5 PRESS: You may not issue any press release or other communication to the public with respect to this Agreement, RSP Marks or Your participation in this Affiliate Network without RSP’s prior written consent, except as required by law or by any legal or regulatory authority.

13.6 DEFAULT INTEREST: Subject to Section 9.2, if RSP fails to pay You by the due date any amount payable by RSP under this Agreement, You shall be entitled but not obliged to charge RSP interest on the overdue amount, from the due date up to the date of actual payment, at the rate of 6 per cent per annum.

13.7 THIRD PARTY RIGHTS: Except insofar as this Agreement expressly provides that a third party may in their own right enforce a term of this Agreement, a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under local law or statute to rely upon or enforce any term of this Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party that exists or is available apart from under that local law or statute.

13.8 OTHER: The failure of RSP to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment of such right or provision, or any other right or provision. If any part of the Terms and Conditions is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms and Conditions shall continue in effect.

14. VIOLATIONS: Please report any violations of the Terms and Conditions to Affiliates@redstarpoker.com.
