3.
Being
an Affiliate. You
shall serve as a
non-exclusive online marketing representative of the Bet Tracker Service
(“Service”), as described in our Terms of Use. You shall refer all prospective customers of
the Service to us. We will have the
right to pre-approve any prospective customers that link to our web site (the “Bet

with such customers to receive the Service.
You shall maintain the following links on the Affiliate Site to pages
designated by us: (i) a permanent (i.e., a non-rotating) hypertext link
placed “above the fold” and equally or more prominent than any links, logos,
text or other promotional or editorial materials on the Affiliate Site; (ii) in
connection with any reference to Service, a link from that reference to the Bet
Tracker Site, as specified by us; and (iii) any other links mutually agreed
upon by the parties. If you change the
design of the Affiliate Site so that any placement of the links described
herein are deleted or altered, you shall provide an alternative placement with
equivalent promotional value. You shall
promptly make any changes to the editorial content displayed on the Affiliate
Site in connection with the Service requested by us and otherwise comply with our
policies and instructions with respect to the same and our intellectual
property. You shall promptly post on the
Affiliate Site any legal disclaimers or statements of terms and conditions,
including click-through agreements or intermediate pages, as we request. You shall only use our approved advertising
materials (banners, text links, logo, etc.) and will not alter their appearance
nor refer to us in any promotional materials other than those that are
available from us.
4.
Fees.
(a)
Subscribers. “Subscriber” means a user of the
Affiliate Site who is not or has not been previously our customer and who
accesses the Bet Tracker Site and subscribes to the Service during the same
browsing session as when that customer accessed the Affiliate Site. A “Subscription” means a Subscriber’s
purchase of any of the Services.
(b)
Marketing
Fees. In
consideration of the marketing activities performed by you under this
Agreement, we will pay you a marketing fee for each Subscriber who accesses the
Bet Tracker Site and subscribes to and pays for a Subscription, subject to the
minimums and restrictions in this Agreement and as we may specify from time to
time (“Marketing Fee”). The Marketing
Fee is based on a percentage of the net revenue (i.e., the gross revenues minus
any applicable taxes, uncollectible amounts, and other expenses) that we actually
receive from Subscribers. The initial
Marketing Fee rates are as follows: (i)
if we receive less than $10,000.00 in a month in net revenue from your
Subscribers, your Marketing Fees will be 10%; (ii) if we receive between
$10,000.00 and $15,000.00 in net revenue in a month from your Subscribers, your
Marketing Fees will be 20%; and (iii) if we receive more than $15,000.00 in net
revenue in a month from your Subscribers, your Marketing Fees will be 20%. You will be eligible to receive Marketing
Fees for a given Subscriber for as long as: (i) this Agreement remains in
effect; (ii) the Subscriber’s maintains a Subscription with us; and (iii) you
remain “active.” “Active” means that you
maintain an average of 10 new Subscribers per month over any given three-month
period.
(c)
Payment
Terms. We shall pay
you Marketing Fees owed within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month,
based on amounts we receive during the prior calendar month. If the amount of Marketing Fees owed is less
than $75.00 in the case of check payment and $500 in the case of wire payments,
we will withhold such payment until the total payment due is at least $75.00 or
$500.00 respectively or until this Agreement is terminated, whichever occurs
first. In addition to any other remedies
available to us at law or in equity, we may offset against any amounts owed to you
the amount of any payments or reimbursement to which we are entitled if you fail
to make any payment or reimbursement to us under this Agreement when due. You shall not earn Marketing Fees on your own Subscriptions
or those of relatives or affiliated entities. If you breach this Agreement and we terminate
it, we have the right to void all Marketing Fees otherwise owed you. If a Subscriber has their Subscription terminated
for cause, we will not pay you Marketing Fees for the revenues generated from
such Subscriber. We reserve the right to withdraw and reverse
retroactive fraudulent and chargeback activities at any point in time. We also reserve the right to deduct wire and
other transaction fees from payments otherwise owed you.
(d)
Reports
Provided by Us.
With each payment provided to you, we will deliver to you a report
describing the Marketing Fees due and payable to you for that calendar quarter
and a breakdown of the calculation of the Marketing Fees.
