BingoPalace Affiliate
Program Terms and Conditions
This Affiliate
Agreement (this "Agreement") contains the complete terms and conditions
between ourselves, BingoPalace, and you, regarding your application to participate
as an affiliate (an "Affiliate") of BingoPalace and the establishment
of links from your Web site to the "BingoPalace" site.
Execution
by you of this Agreement as set forth below constitutes your acceptance of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, and will be a legally binding agreement
between you and us.
1.
Affiliate Program Application and Enrollment
To
become an Affiliate you will have to submit a completed Affiliate Program Join
Form. You will automatically receive confirmation of your acceptance as an affliate.
We will review your site and your account may be disabled if we determine, in
our sole discretion, that your Web site is not suitable for the Affiliate Program
for any reason, including, but not limited to, inclusion of content on your Web
site that we deem is in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, harassing,
or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, which by way of example only,
contains (i) speech or images that are offensive, profane, hateful, threatening,
harmful, defamatory, libelous, harassing or discriminatory (whether based on race,
ethnicity, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical disability or
otherwise), (ii) graphic violence, (iii) politically sensitive or controversial
issues or (iv) any unlawful behavior or conduct. If we disable your account, you
are welcome to reapply to the Affiliate Program at any time.
2.
Setting Up Links
After
your site has been accepted and your Affliate Program Account created, we will
make available to you, banner advertisements, button links, text links and other
links as determined by BingoPalace which shall all link to Our Site (collectively
referred to hereinafter as a "Link"), which you may display on your
Web site, provided you abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In
using the Links, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order to establish
and maintain such Links. All Affiliate Web sites shall display the Links prominently
throughout such sites. If during the term of this Agreement you wish to place
the Links on Web sites other than the Web sites which you have previously reported
to BingoPalace and which BingoPalace have approved ("Alternative Sites"),
you shall be obligated to request and receive BingoPalace's permission for the
placement of the Links on Alternative Sites. You may not modify a Link, unless
you have received prior written consent from BingoPalace to do so. We have the
right, in our sole discretion, to monitor your Web site at any time and from time
to time to determine if you are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
In the event that we determine that your use of any Link is not in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement, we shall be entitled to take such measures as
to render inoperative the Links used by you. Further, the use of the Links is
the only method by which you may advertise Our Site. You may not advertise Our
Site in any other way including, without limitation, the use of spam e-mails.
3.
Real New Players
We
will track the number of Real New Players. A "Real New Player" is defined
as a new user without a prior account with BingoPalace (which includes an account
with any of the entities operated by BingoPalace) who accesses Our Site through
the Links placed on your Web site, opens a new user account and makes the required
minimum deposit of $50 in such account. Neither you nor your relatives are eligible
to become Real New Players and should you or they do so you will not be eligible
to receive the relevant commission. For this purpose, the term "relative"
shall mean any of the following: spouse, partner, parent, child or sibling. BingoPalace's
measurements and calculations in relation to the number of Real New Players shall
be the sole and authoritative tool and shall not be open to review or appeal.
We shall make the number of Real New Players available to you through our Affiliate
Program information site. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual,
you must ensure that the Links between your site and Our Site are properly formatted
throughout the term of this Agreement.

All commissions
shall be paid to you on a monthly basis within approximately 30 days following
the end of each month. BingoPalace shall be entitled to set-off from the amount
of commission to be paid to you any associated costs related to the transfer of
such commission. In the event that the commission to be paid to you in any calendar
month is less than $50 (the "Minimum Amount"), BingoPalace shall not
be obligated to make the payment until such time as the commission is equal to
or greater than the Minimum Amount. BingoPalace retains the right to review all
commissions for possible fraud, where such fraud may be on the part of the Real
New Player or on your part, for example money laundering. Any incidence of fraud
on your part constitutes a breach of this Agreement, and BingoPalace retains full
authority to terminate this Agreement immediately in the event of such breach.
Further, in the event that BingoPalace deems that fraud has occurred, either on
your part or on the part of a Real New Player, you shall not be entitled to receive
any commissions which have accrued to your benefit at such time whether such commissions
were generated through fraud or otherwise. Please note that Per Sign Up
Plan payments will be carried out only after a minimum of three players
are signed up under the specific affiliate account.
You
are urged to provide accurate details in regard to the manner and information
relating to your preferred method of receiving commissions and BingoPalace shall
not be held liable for your delayed receipt of commissions due to your provision
of inaccurate details.
5.
Contact with Real New Players
All
Real New Players shall be considered as customers of BingoPalace only. Should
you wish to contact a Real New Player you are obligated to first receive BingoPalace's
written approval for such contact and without such approval you are expressly
forbidden from making contact and corresponding with Real New Players. If in the
opinion of BingoPalace you either try to or do make contact with a Real New Player
without BingoPalace's written approval, BingoPalace shall be entitled to immediately
terminate this Agreement and to withhold all commissions owing to you at such
time. Further, if following your receipt of BingoPalace's written approval for
your contacting or corresponding with a Real New Player, BingoPalace deems that
such contact or correspondence is against the best interests of BingoPalace, BingoPalace
shall have the right both to revoke the approval previously granted and to terminate
this Agreement and to withhold all commissions owing to you at such time.
6.
Non-Exclusive Limited License and Use of BingoPalace Logos and Trademarks
We
grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to place the Links
on your Web site during the term of this Agreement, and solely in connection with
the Links, to use our logos, trade names, trademarks, service marks and similar
identifying material (collectively, "Licensed Materials"), solely for
the purpose of promoting Our Site. You are not permitted to alter, modify or change
the Licensed Material in any way whatsoever. You may not use any Licensed Materials
for purposes other than promoting Our Site, without first submitting a sample
of such use to us and receiving our prior written consent. You are not permitted
to use the Licensed Materials in any manner that is disparaging or that otherwise
portrays BingoPalace or anyone else negatively. We reserve all of our rights in
the Licensed Materials and all other intellectual property rights. We may revoke
your license at any time by written notice to you. You acknowledge that, except
for the license expressly granted in this Agreement, you have not acquired and
will not acquire any right, interest or title to the Links or the Licensed Materials
by reason of this Agreement or through the exercise of any rights in the Links
or the Licensed Material granted to you under this Agreement. This license shall
terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
7.
Obligations Regarding Your Web site
You
will be solely responsible for the technical operation of your Web site and the
accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your Web site. You agree that
your Web site will not, in any way, copy or resemble the look and feel of Our
Site nor will you create the impression that your Web site is Our Site or any
part of Our Site. You also agree that your Web site will not contain any content
of Our Site or any materials which are proprietary to BingoPalace, except (i)

and expert witness fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance,
and contents of your Web site or any materials, products or services linked to
therein. You hereby acknowledge that your conduct as an Affiliate shall reflect
on BingoPalace and has the potential to cause substantial damage to BingoPalace's
reputation and goodwill and that you shall at all times consider the goodwill
and reputation of BingoPalace and BingoPalace's name.
8.
Term
The term
of this Agreement will begin upon your acceptance to the Affiliate Program and
will end when terminated by either Party. At any time, either Party may immediately

notice of termination, where such notice may be served via fax or e-mail. We reserve
the right to withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that
the correct amount is paid. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason,
you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your Web site, all Links and

may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any

of notice and such modifications shall be effective as of the date of posting.
Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the scope of available
commission fees, commission schedules, payment procedures, and Affiliate Program
rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your sole recourse is to terminate
this Agreement and your continued participation in the Affiliate Program following
our posting of a change notice or new agreement on our Web site will constitute
binding acceptance of the change. Due to the above, we advise you to frequently
visit the Affiliate Program information site.
