3. APPLICATION TO OPERATOR'S PROGRAMME

3.1 The Affiliate, where an individual, must be at the older of 19 years of age and the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which the Affiliate resides (such age referred to hereinafter as the "Legal Age") to be accepted into the Operator's Programme. Where the Affiliate is an incorporated company, the ultimate beneficial owners, directors and the person operating the Affiliate's Account must be at least of Legal Age. The Affiliate covenants and agrees that it shall comply with this clause and is of the legal age to enter into and be bound by this Agreement in its country of residence. The Affiliate further covenants and agrees that it is not precluded from participating in the Operator's Programme by the laws of the country in which it resides or is incorporated, as applicable, or by the laws of the country where the Services are made available.

3.2 Operator will review the Affiliate's application to participate in the Operator's Programme and may, in its sole discretion, request further information from the Affiliate and may accept or reject such application.

3.3 Operator may reject the Affiliate's application if the Affiliate Website, a Sub-Affiliate and/or any domain name or sub-domain owned or controlled by the Affiliate (whether used or intended to be used for the provision of the Affiliate Website or otherwise), and/or the Affiliates marketing activities or practices generate any content that: (i) contains any Prohibited Material; (ii) consists of, includes or is confusingly similar to any of the Brand Marks or Prohibited Terms; and/or (iii) appears to have been registered in bad faith. For the Affiliate to be accepted into the Operator's Programme, Operator may require that the Affiliate removes the foregoing material, and/or either transfers to Operator or its licensors or (in Operator's or such licensors sole discretion) deletes/removes any such domain name, sub-domain or content.

Digital Media Companies shall instead enter into an agreement entitled "Insertion Order" (an "IO") with Operator or a third party authorized by Operator. Unless otherwise agreed, this Agreement shall also not be applicable to any person other than a Digital Media Company that enters into an IO with Operator or a third party authorized by Operator (notwithstanding such person's acceptance of the terms of this Agreement). In the event of conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an IO, the terms of the IO shall prevail (unless otherwise specified in the IO).

4. SERVICES

4.1 Subject to the Affiliate's compliance with this Agreement and Operator acceptance of the Affiliate into the Operators Programme, Operator grants to the Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, revocable, royalty free licence, during the Term, to promote the agreed Brand Websites and/or the Operators Programme using the Links, Brand Marks and Promotional Content via the Marketing Channels, in each case solely in the manner directed or approved by Operator and in accordance with all Applicable Laws, any and all Brand Guidelines, and this Agreement, and solely for the purposes of referring the Affiliate's end users to the Brand Websites.

4.2 Operator shall specify the Brand Website(s) in association with which the Affiliate shall provide the Services. The agreed Brand Websites shall then be set out in the Affiliate's Account and/or specified in written notices to the Affiliate from Operator.

4.3 The Affiliate shall ensure that it shall only use and place on Affiliate Websites those Links, Brand Marks and Promotional Content that have been approved in writing by Operator, and shall always use the most up-to-date versions thereof as made available, provided or approved by Operator without alteration from time to time.

4.4 If Operator requests any change to the Affiliate's use and positioning of the Links, Brand Marks and/or Promotional Content and/or Marketing Channels from time to time, the Affiliate shall promptly comply with such request. The Affiliate shall promptly provide to Operator such information as Operator may reasonably request (i) to enable Operator to monitor the Affiliate's compliance with this Agreement and (ii) for regulatory purposes, including as may be requested by Operator in relation to any reports or information that Operator may wish or need to provide to any Gaming Authority.

4.5 The Affiliate shall use its best efforts actively and effectively advertise, market and promote the Brand Websites in accordance with this Agreement to maximise the financial benefit to the parties and make available the Promotional Content in prominent positions on the Affiliate Website as approved by Operator in writing, and shall bear all costs and expense incurred in connection with the same.

4.6 The Affiliate shall cease immediately all advertising, marketing or promotional efforts in any jurisdiction that Operator notifies the Affiliate to be a jurisdiction from which the Affiliate cannot accept Players.

5. COMMISSION

5.1 In consideration for the performance of the Services, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Operator will pay to the Affiliate:

5.1.1 the Affiliate Revenue Share; and/or

5.1.2 the Cost Per Acquisition; and/or

5.1.3 the Fixed Fee,

(together, the "Commission"), as such Commission is agreed between the parties as part of the application process, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties from time to time.

5.2 If Operator wishes to amend the quantum or means of calculation of the Commission, Operator shall send a written notice to the Affiliate with details of the proposed amendments (the "Changes"). The Affiliate shall have 5 business days from the date of such notice (the "Notice Period") to accept or reject the Changes. If the Affiliate rejects the Changes, it shall advise Operator in writing of its decision within the Notice Period. Upon receipt of a rejection notice from the Affiliate, Operator shall then have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) maintain the Agreement in force without the Changes. If the Affiliate accepts the Changes, it shall advise Operator in writing of its decision within the Notice Period. Upon receipt of an acceptance notice from the Affiliate, the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended accordingly as of the date of the Affiliate's acceptance notice. In the event that the Affiliate does not provide a response to Operator's proposed amendments within the Notice Period, the Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to include the Changes with effect from the day after the expiry of the Notice Period.

5.3 The Affiliate shall not be entitled to any Commission after expiry or termination of this Agreement (including any "lifetime revenue share").

5.4 Any payments to be made by Operator under the terms of this Agreement may be made directly by Operator or indirectly by a Service Provider on behalf of Operator.

5.5 The Affiliate shall not be entitled to any Commission in respect of any of the Affiliate's end users that are referred to the Brand Websites having clicked the Links where those end users do not subsequently register as Players and deposit a minimum of CA$10 and play a Game or Bet a minimum of CA$0.01 per Player on each Brand Website.

5.6 If the Affiliate has a negative monthly balance, the Affiliate's monthly payable balance of the Commission is automatically reset to £0 (or, where applicable, the equivalent in another currency) at the beginning of each calendar month, to ensure that no negative balances are carried forward.

5.7 Operator shall make available to the Affiliate a monthly statement setting out the Commission payable by Operator to the Affiliate in accordance with this Agreement.

5.8 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, on or before the last day of each calendar month, Operator will pay the Commission due to the Affiliate in respect of the previous calendar month based upon the monthly statement setting out the Commission to the Affiliate's nominated bank account.

5.9 If the total Commission payable to the Affiliate in any calendar month is below CA$100 (the "Minimum Payout"), the amount of such Commission may not be paid to the Affiliate in respect of that calendar month and may instead accrue and be carried over until such time as the amount of the Minimum Payout has accrued as Commission, which shall then be paid to the Affiliate in the subsequent calendar month.

5.10 Without prejudice to clause 5.9, where the Affiliate has selected one of the following payment methods and the balance of the Commission due to the Affiliate is less than the following monthly payment thresholds in any calendar month (each, a "Payment Method Threshold"), the amount of such Commission may not be paid to the Affiliate in respect of that calendar month and may instead accrue and be carried over until such time as the amounts of the Payment Method Thresholds have accrued as Fees, which shall then be paid to the Affiliate in the subsequent calendar month:

5.10.1 international bank transfer  CA$200 (or, where applicable, the equivalent in another currency);

5.10.2 UK bank transfer  CA$25 (or, where applicable, the equivalent in another currency).

5.11 Operator may review the balance of the Commission due to the Affiliate every six (6) months during the Term. If at any review date the balance of the Affiliate's Account is less than CA$5 (or, where applicable, the equivalent in another currency), any Commission due to such Affiliate may, at Operator election, be declared void and the balance of its account in relation to any Commission owed shall be reset to £0.

5.12 The Affiliate agrees that Operator's Player tracking methods and/or Promotional Content tracking methods (including its use of the Links) are accurate and reasonable, and that all calculations of the Commission owed to the Affiliate made by Operator shall be final. Operator shall not be responsible for paying any Commission generated using incorrect Links and resulting in inaccurate or incomplete tracking of Players.

5.13 The Commission will be paid in Canadian dollars (CA$) by electronic bank transfer in respect of all Brand Websites in accordance with the bank details provided by the Affiliate in the Affiliate's Account. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Fees may be displayed in a different currency in the Affiliate's Account on the Operator's Website where the Operator stipulates a different currency for such purpose. If the Affiliate requests payment in a currency other than Canadian dollars (CA$), the Affiliate shall bear the risk of any shortfall as a result of the currency conversion, as well as all costs associated with that conversion. Similarly, if the Affiliate's bank will only accept payments in a currency other than Canadian dollars (CA$), the Affiliate shall incur the cost of the currency conversion as well as any shortfall as a result of the conversion.

5.14 Except where clause 5.15 applies in circumstances where the Affiliate has provided incorrect bank details, the Affiliate shall be entitled but not obliged to charge interest on an overdue amount, from the due date up to the date of actual payment, at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum above the base rate for the time being of Barclays Bank Plc, provided that the Affiliate shall give written notice to Operator that the amount has not been paid, specifying the total amount of interest owed at the date of the notice and the daily rate at which the interest will continue to accrue, the invoice or invoices to which the interest relates, and the addresses to whom and details of the account to which payment should be made.

5.15 If the Affiliate provides incorrect bank details and a payment is unsuccessful and returned to Operator by its payment processor, Operator will investigate and notify the Affiliate and request corrected bank account details, and:

5.15.1 such unsuccessful payments will only be credited to the Affiliate's corrected account details once Operator has been notified by its payment processor that the payment has been successfully retrieved;

5.15.2 the bank charges associated with any such error shall be deducted from the Affiliate's Commission; and

5.15.3 from six months after Operator first contacted the Affiliate to request the Affiliate's correct bank details, Operator shall have the right but not any obligation to close an Affiliate's Account, terminate this Agreement and withhold any Commission owing.

5.16 Notwithstanding clause 5.15, Operator reserves the right to withhold payment of the Commission to the Affiliate if: (i) it believes or suspects that any transaction or other activity relating to any Link, the Operator's Website, the Affiliate Website, a Sub-Affiliate Website or any Brand Website is suspicious, fraudulent and/or involves or may involve financial crime or similar activity; (ii) there is a breach or suspected breach of this Agreement by the Affiliate; or (iii) Operator has reasonable grounds to believe that the relevant Services, activities or marketing which would have otherwise resulted in such Commission being payable were carried out in a manner which was not in accordance with legal or regulatory requirements. In such event, Operator reserves the right to retain indefinitely any revenues relating to that transaction or activity and any other revenues (including the Commission) relating to the Affiliate.

5.17 Any Commission calculation will exclude Net Gaming Revenue generated in respect of closed player accounts.

5.18 If a Player is banned from playing on a Brand Website for any reason, and Operator returns any deposited funds to that Player, the Affiliate will not be entitled to any Commissions that would have otherwise been earned by it in respect of the Net Gaming Revenue generated from such banned Player.

5.19 If a Player is being investigated for identity, address, bank information and/or credit card verification, Operator will withhold payment of any Commission earned by the Affiliate in respect of Net Gaming Revenue generated from such Player until such information has been verified to the satisfaction of Operator.

5.20 If the Affiliate fails to display online banners and/or advertising copy relating to Operator's Promotional Content in accordance with Operator's instructions, Operator shall have the right to withhold all Commission payments due to the Affiliate until Operator's instructions have been followed.

5.21 The Affiliate shall be responsible for paying any and all taxes due in connection with any payments made to the Affiliate, including complying with any rules for registering for, collecting and paying any chargeable income tax, value added tax, sales tax, turnover tax or similar taxes in the country where the Services are provided. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that all payments to the Affiliate shall be deemed to include all applicable value added tax, sales tax or turnover tax.

5.22 In the event that applicable law is amended to (i) introduce a taxation scheme that is applicable to the operation of any of the Brand Websites, or (ii) if such a scheme is already in place, an increase in the then-current taxation rate, Operator has the right to immediately and automatically reduce the Commission payable to the Affiliate under this Agreement by an amount that Operator deems reasonable under the circumstances. In the event that the change is not acceptable to the Affiliate, the parties shall, both acting reasonably, negotiate a reduction that is mutually acceptable. If the parties are not able to reach an agreement on this issue, the Affiliate may terminate this Agreement.

6.1.1 keeping its bank account details up to date for the purpose of receiving any amounts payable to the Affiliate in accordance with this Agreement;

16.10 Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall operate to create a partnership or joint venture of any kind between the parties, or to authorise any party to act as agent for any other, or create an employee-employer relationship, and no party shall have authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind any other in any way or to hold itself out in its advertising or otherwise in any manner which would indicate or imply any such relationship with the other unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.

16.11 The Affiliate shall not without the prior written consent of Operator assign at law or in equity (including by way of a charge or declaration of trust), sub-license, sub-contract, transfer or deal in any other manner with this Agreement or any rights under this Agreement, or sub-contract any or all of its obligations under it or purport to do any of the same. Any purported action in breach of this clause shall confer no rights on the purported assignee.
