This does not include those Customers that were once associated with your Affiliate Account but have since been removed from your Affiliate Account pursuant to this Agreement. Such Commission is set as follows and differentiates between the two products eligible to apply: Casino & Sports
The above rates are the standard default commission rates. However, we may at our own discretion, agree in writing different rates on a case-by-case basis with each Affiliate. 6.4. The commission is fixed over the first period of 3 months, if there are no new FTDs (10 minimum in each product) during the following 3 months, the Commissions is reduced by 5 percentage points. 6.5. The Affiliate may, at our sole discretion, be provided with the opportunity to restructure its Commission structure. Examples of alternative Commission Structures could include a Hybrid model, Rev Share + Cost Per Acquisition (CPA). However, and for the avoidance of any doubt, only one type of Commission Structure for the same product may be applied at the same time. Therefore, once an Affiliate accepts our 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 the 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. 6.6. Reports: We will track and report Customer activity for purposes of calculating your Affiliate Fees. 6.7. Affiliate Fees: All Affiliates shall be paid monthly, in arrears, provided they reach the minimum Commission levels. Any Affiliates who have not reached the minimum requirements, will have this amount carried forward until such time that their commission has reached the minimum. All fees will be paid within thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar month to which they relate. The minimum amount for commissions to be paid is €100, however, for wire transfers, this minimum is €500. 6.8. Negative Carryover: Where the total Net Revenue from your referred customers is negative for a given month, this negative balance will be carried over to the following month until the negative balance reaches zero, unless otherwise agreed between the parties in writing. Total Net Revenue will be calculated on a cumulative basis between all products resulting in the total Net Revenue derived from the sum of both positive and or negative Net Revenue from each product for any calendar month (or part thereof). 6.9. Cross Carryover Coverage: Where the total Net Revenue from your referred Customers is of a negative balance for one given product (ex: Sports) within one month, this negative balance will not be set-off against the balance of the other product (ex: Casino) should it carry a positive balance. This will allow the affiliates to earn a Commission if one of both products is positive. 6.10. However, should an affiliate generate USD 4.000 or more monthly negative Net Revenue on one of the products, this will be set-off against the Positive Net Revenue generated on the other product with any remaining positive balance if any, to be paid out as a Commission to the Affiliate. Total Net Revenue will be calculated on a cumulative basis upon each product Commission scheme. 6.11. Method of Payment: All payments will be due and payable in Euros. Payment will be made by the method registered on sign up to the account. 6.12. Customer Verification: Affiliate Fees in relation to Customers will be dispatched only following our verification and checks concerning all Customers. We have the right to check all Commissions for possible fraud or abuse. If any fraud or abuse has been or, in our reasonable opinion, has allegedly occurred, we will freeze your Commissions until such time you can prove no fraud or abuse has occurred. 6.13. Amending the Commission Structure: At any time, for any reason, we have the right to amend the Commission Structure as we see fit and we will notify you of the same. We may withdraw a Commission option at any time by giving notice to you. You may request to change your Commission option no more than once every calendar month, which may be accepted or rejected by us at our absolute discretion. 6.14. Breach: If you in any way breach any of your obligations to us regarding the provision to us of Funded Sign-Ups, to be determined in each case by us, acting reasonably, then we shall be entitled to warn you that we are placing this Agreement under review with a review, or give notice of closure of your account. 6.15. Right to withhold: Geo reserves the right to permanently withhold any Commissions that are unable to be paid within 12 months of becoming due and payable due to a failure by you to provide correct bank account information. 6.16. Payment: Affiliate Commissions shall be payable for a period of 24 months from the date of first registration of each Customer. After 24 months the percentage of the Commission will be reduced to 0 (zero) for those players.
