Other payment plans may be available at a later stage but this is at the discretion of the Programme Partner’s representative. However, the Marketing Partner can contact the Programme Partner’s representative to discuss other possible payment plan options that may be available.
3. In order to clarify the payment terms used and their meaning, the payment option plans a Marketing Partner can be associated with and the respective terms of such payment option plans are listed below. Terms and their meanings only describe the characteristic and do not represent the value of commission or the value required to trigger a commission:
· CPA Payment Plan (also known as a Cost per Acquisition Plan) is based on an amount to be received for each new referred player that the Marketing Partner introduces via the Marketing Partner’s Tracker ID. CPA calculation can be triggered at various points of acquisition depending on the set up of CPA commission deal. The setup, depending on the criteria, can also be specific to the acquisition of players who participate in a product vertically (i.e. Slots or Sports), however, this is outlined in the commission deal and seen within the StarVegas Partners Programme software.
Or
· Revenue Share Payment Plan is based on the commission percentage of the Marketing Partner deal which is taken from the generated revenue of the Marketing Partner’s acquired players through his Tracker ID. Prior to these certain deductions from the revenue (such as Converted Bonus Money, Tax and Handling Fee) are incurred. The setup, depending on the criteria, can also be specific to the acquisition of players who participate toward a product vertically (i.e. Slots or Sports), however this is outlined in the commission deal and seen within the StarVegas Partners Programme software.
Or
· Time Limited Revenue Share Payment Plan is based on the commission percentage of the Marketing Partner deal which is taken from the generated revenue of the Marketing Partner’s acquired players in the course of the first 360 days after player registration. Prior to these certain deductions from the revenue (such as Converted Bonus Money, Tax and Handling Fee) are incurred. The setup, depending on the criteria, can also be specific to the acquisition of players who participate toward a product vertically (i.e. Slots or Sports), however this is outlined in the commission deal and seen within the StarVegas Partners Programme software.
Or
· Hybrid Payment Plan is based on the characteristic mentioned above of both the CPA payment plan and the Revenue Share payment plan collectively on a referred player. The setup, depending on the criteria, can also be specific to the acquisition of players who participate toward a product vertically (i.e. Slots or Sports), however, this is outlined in the commission deal and seen within the StarVegas Partners Programme software.
4. The Marketing Partner is entitled to receive commission calculated according to the applicable payment plans that are allocated to the Marketing Partner’s tracking links during the term of this agreement or whilst the concerned player is still active on the Operator’s website. For the avoidance of doubt, the Marketing Partner will not be entitled to receive any commission for revenues generated by any players not generated via the Marketing Partner’s tracker URL or already registered on the Operator’s website(s) except as set out in the payment plans the Marketing Partner choose for the Operator’s website(s) that are part of the StarVegas Partners Programme.
Furthermore, any acquisition of players generated via fraud traffic (as defined in section 7.), if so considered in the Programme Partner’s sole discretion, is not taken into account for the purposes of the commission.
5. The Operator reserves the right to change a Marketing Partner’s commission payment plan towards future referrals, and if needed existing user referrals, for any of the following reasons, including but not limited to:
i. non-performance,
ii. inactivity,
iii. suspicious fraudulent activity
Provided that this change is notified to the Marketing Partner via the provided Marketing Partner contact email.
6. The Marketing Partner understands that when it chooses the revenue share payment plan, the revenue per user is the amount that each referred player´s account is debited with as consideration of the referred player´s participation in the games, minus the amount of bonus money that the respective user has converted into winnings in the course of wagering such amounts in games or tournaments on the Operator’s website(s). The flat fee percentage as ‘Handling fee’ (in particular charge backs, service costs, transaction costs, taxes due on the offering of games, license costs, fees to be paid to third parties’ software and services providers, marketing costs etc.) is deducted from such amount. The remainder is considered as the commission base and is the basis for the calculation of the revenue share.
7. Revenue share payment plans may include an expiration period. Meaning that a period of time will be stipulated in the revenue share payment plan during which the actions of the referred users will be included in the commission. Any actions of the referred user after the stipulated expiration period will not form part of the Revenue Share payment plan. The stipulated expiration period starts from the date of the user’s registration under the Marketing Partner’s referred tracker. To avoid any doubt the expiration period, if set, is mentioned in the commission seen in the StarVegas Partners Programme software.
8. In the event that suspicions are raised as to the use of fraudulent elements in order to raise ones’ commission, the Programme Partner may withhold payment of a said commission, and all future commission until it is satisfied that no fraudulent methods were used. Provided that fraudulent methods have in fact been used, then payment of such commission shall not take place and the Marketing Partner’s agreement shall be terminated immediately.
9. The commission shall be paid to the Marketing Partner by the Programme Partner and shall – if possible – be credited via the chosen payment method of the Marketing Partner within fifteen (15) days from the Commission Calculation Date. If the payment method or the Marketing Partner company information (including, but not limited to, Company legal name, VAT number, address) is changed by the Marketing Partner within a period of 24 hours before the Commission Calculation Date, the payment will be delayed and performed on the next Commission Calculation Date., Programme Partner shall not be held liable for any delay due to technical reasons and events which are beyond the Programme Partner’s or the Operator’s reasonable control.
10. The commission can only be paid out, if the credit has reached a minimum amount of fifty euro (EUR 50.00,-). If this requirement is not met, the commission shall be carried over until a total of fifty euro (EUR 50.00,-) has been accumulated.
11. General clarification to the minimum amount and commission: if a Marketing Partner is awarded a hybrid plan or over the duration of the Marketing Partner participation and the Marketing Partner had multiple deals of standalone CPA plans and revenue share plans, the Marketing Partner’s commission total is based on the totals of the CPA aspect of the payment plan and the revenue share aspects of the payment plan collectively.
12. Negative revenues will be balanced to zero and will not be carried over to the next period of commission calculation (no negative revenue carry over), with the exception of bonus money and other deductions.

The Marketing Partner irrevocably agrees that, subject as provided below, the courts of Malta shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any claim, dispute or matter arising out of, or in connection with, or concerning this agreement or its enforceability and the Marketing Partner waives any objection to proceedings in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of the Programme Partner to take proceedings against the Marketing Partner in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction.

8. Entire Agreement. This agreement and the Marketing Partner sign up form embody the complete agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or subsequent oral or written agreement or understanding between the parties in relation to such subject matter save in respect of modification to this agreement provided by the Programme Partner to the Marketing Partner in accordance with section 3 above. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this agreement, it has not relied on any statement, representation, guarantee warranty, understanding, undertaking, promise or assurance (whether negligently or innocently made) of any person (whether party to this agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in the agreement.

11. The Programme Partner’s obligations under this agreement do not constitute personal obligations of the owners, directors, officers, agents, employees, vendors or suppliers of the Operator’s website(s) or services other than as provided under this agreement. Other than as expressly provided in these T&C, in no event will the Programme Partner be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive loss, injury or damage of any kind (regardless of whether the Programme Partner has been advised of the possibility of such loss) including any loss of business, revenue, profits or data. Programme Partner’s liability arising under this agreement, whether in contract, or for breach of statutory duty or in any other way shall only be for direct damages and shall not exceed the revenues generated and payable to the Marketing Partner in relation to the Operator’s website(s) that the dispute relates to over the previous 12 months at the time that the event giving rise to the liability arises. However, nothing in this agreement will operate to exclude or limit either party’s liability for death or personal injury arising as a result of that party’s negligence or for fraud.
These are all the stipulated clauses of the terms and conditions for the StarVegas Partners Programme. Should there be any queries please contact us on the stipulated email of the Programme Partner listed in section 1 of these T&C.
