5. Reports

5.1 VSM will provide online reporting to each Affiliate detailing registrations, new Real Money Players, and commission payable.

5.2 VSM will enable Affiliates to access this information online. Should this not be possible at any stage, VSM will provide reports via e-mail detailing the information mentioned above. It is understood that access to the system is not a precondition for membership to the Affiliate Programme.

6. Terms of Payment

6.1 Commission will be calculated once a month in accordance with the Affiliate's chosen payment plans after the Affiliate has completed the registration process and/or when VSM has activated additional trackers. Payments will be affected monthly in arrears, by no later than the 20th day of the following calendar month (unless otherwise agreed by VSM and the Affiliate). The Affiliate’s acceptance of the payment of the commission shall be deemed to constitute full and final settlement of the balance due for the relevant period.

6.2 Affiliates acknowledge that they may be required to undergo a due diligence process in order to be fully registered with the Affiliate Programme. Failure to provide the necessary information or documentation may result in a suspension or forfeiture of commission payments.

6.3 For the avoidance of doubt, VSM has no liability to pay any currency conversion charges or any charges associated with the transfer of monies to the Affiliate. All these charges shall be borne solely and exclusively by the Affiliate.

6.4 There are three alternative payment plans from which the Affiliate can choose. The payment plan that the Affiliate chooses will apply to the Affiliate's trackers within the Affiliate program, as follows:

6.4.1 CPA payment plan (also known as a Cost per Acquisition Plan) based on the amount of Real Money Players that the Affiliate introduces via the Affiliate's tracker ID, or

6.4.2 Revenue Share payment plan based on a share of the commission base generated by the Affiliate's Real Money Players.

6.4.3 Mixed (CPA plus Revenue Share) based on a share of the commission base generated by the Affiliate's Real Money Players and the amount of Real Money Players that the Affiliate introduces via the Affiliate's tracker ID.

6.5 The Affiliate is entitled to receive commission calculated according to the applicable payment plans that are allocated to the Affiliate's trackers during the term of this Agreement or whilst the concerned Player is still active on the Website. To avoid doubt, the Affiliate will not be entitled to receive any commission for revenues generated by Real Money Players not generated via the Affiliate's tracker URL or already registered on the Website(s) when this is not set out in the payment plans by the Affiliate as a Website(s) that is part of the Affiliate Programme. Further, any payment is excluded for Players generated via fraud traffic, and if so considered, at VSM’s sole discretion.

6.6 VSM and the Affiliate will agree on Commission via electronic communication that shall be considered as integral part of this Agreement.

6.8 VSM shall not pay for incentivised traffic in any form and shall not pay for schemes where a Real Money Player is given or promised a percentage of the CPA as an incentive for becoming a Real Money Player. Such incentives extend to any roulette playing schemes or casino systems where Real Money Players are advised, in any way, on how to play to beat the online wagering system.

6.9.2 Inactivity;

6.9.3 Suspicious activity.

Provided that this change is notified to the Affiliate via the provided Affiliate contact email.

6.10 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 Real Money Player’s registration under the Affiliate’s referred tracker.

6.11 The Affiliate may, at the sole discretion of VSM, be provided with the opportunity to restructure its commission structure. However, and for the avoidance of doubt, only one type of Commission Structure for the same product may be applied at the same time. Therefore, once an Affiliate accepts VSM’s offer to apply a new commission structure, different to the standard Commission Structure detailed in the Affiliate Agreement, the Affiliate hereby agrees and understands that the new proposed commission structure shall replace his existing commission structure in its entirety. Notwithstanding the above, the Affiliate’s obligations assumed under the Affiliate Agreement will still continue to apply to the Affiliate even if a new commission structure is applicable.

6.12 The commission shall be paid to the Affiliate by VSM and shall – if possible – be credited via the chosen payment method of the Affiliate within twenty (20) days. However, VSM shall not be held liable for any delay due to technical reasons and events which are beyond VSM’s reasonable control.

6.13 In the event that suspicions are raised as to the use of fraudulent elements in order to raise ones’ commission, VSM shall withhold payment of said commission, and all future commission until it is satisfied that no fraudulent methods were used. Provided that if it is established that fraudulent methods have in fact been used, then payment of such commission shall not take place and the Agreement shall be terminated immediately.

6.14 The commission can only be paid out if the credit has reached its minimum amount of fifty Euros (EUR 50.00,-). If this requirement is not met within the calendar month, before the date for calculation, then the commission shall be carried over until the minimum amount has been accumulated. The value of the minimum amount can be given by contacting the provided email address within the T&C.

6.15 Negative revenues coming from casino operations will be carried over to the next period. Negative revenues coming from casino operations may be balanced to zero and will not be carried over to the next period at a sole discretion of VSM.

6.16 All taxes due in connection with any payments made out to the Affiliate shall remain at all times the Affiliate's sole responsibility and liability. The Affiliate is responsible for complying with the rules, if any, for registering for and paying income tax and similar taxes in respect of the Affiliate's income from this Agreement and for collecting and paying the income tax and social security contributions in respect of the Affiliate's staff, if the Affiliate has any staff. If value added tax (VAT) or any other sales tax or turnover tax is chargeable, the Affiliate is responsible for complying with the rules, if any, for registering for the tax and collecting and paying tax in the country where the services are provided and the Affiliate acknowledges that the payments that it receives shall be deemed to include all VAT or sales tax or turnover tax.

6.17 The Affiliate acknowledges that it is its/his sole responsibility to determine whether it/he is obliged to register for a VAT number and to collect VAT as per the regulations applicable in the jurisdiction of its establishment / his residence.
