We acknowledge that all Intellectual Property Rights in the Affiliate Websites (with the exception of any Football Index Marks or Football Index Information) shall remain the property of the Affiliate.

You shall not use the Football Index Marks in a manner that disparages Football Index, our associates or our products or services, or portrays the Websites or the Gambling Products in a false or negative light.

Data protection

Each party shall, at its own expense, ensure that it complies with and assists the other party to comply with the requirements of all legislation and regulatory requirements in force from time to time relating to the use of personal data, including (without limitation) (i) any data protection legislation from time to time in force in the UK including the Data Protection Act 2018 and any successor legislation; and (ii) for so long as and to the extent that the law of the EU has legal effect in the UK, the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) and any other directly applicable EU regulation relating to privacy.

We do not tolerate any form of spam. If you participate in this type of activity, we have the right to suspend your participation in the Affiliate Programme in accordance with Clause 14.5.

Background Checks

We shall endeavor, to the extent within our control, to prevent money-laundering and any activities that facilitate money-laundering or funding of terrorist or criminal activities.

We reserve the right, at any time, to perform background checks on you and request any relevant documentation, for any reason, including, but not limited to, any investigation into your identity, personal history, registration details, such as name, address and age and your financial transactions and financial standing in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We are under no obligation to advise you that such investigation is taking place. Such activities may include the use of third party companies, who perform the investigations as directed by us.

We may decide in our sole discretion to terminate this Agreement if such an investigation provides a negative or uncertain conclusion or if you fail to provide us with valid documentation, reasonably requested by us, to validate your identity. In such circumstance, we may withhold any past or future Fees which have accrued or which shall accrue to your benefit as well as reject your application or terminate this Agreement with immediate effect.

REPORTING, FEES AND PAYMENT

We shall pay you the currently published Customer Acquisition Fee (as detailed in your Football Index Affiliate account page) for each new Introduced Customer generated during the term of the Agreement. The Customer Acquisition Fee shall only be earned once per each new Introduced Customer and shall be calculated with reference to the Introduced Customer’s first deposit only.

In the event that we agree with you in writing an Alternative Commission Fee, we shall only pay the Alternative Commission Fee where you comply, and continue to comply, with any stipulated performance requirements.

Subject to Clause 10.4, we shall procure that the following Fees are paid to you within 60 days of the end of the relevant month:

the Customer Acquisition Fee (if any) for the relevant month; and

if applicable, the Alternative Commission Arrangement for the relevant month.

Payment of any Fees will only be made in GBP and if you are due an amount of at least £30 (“Threshold Amount”). An amount due of less than the Threshold Amount will not become payable to you until the Threshold Amount has accumulated. Accumulated amounts do not accrue any interest.

We may engage the services of a third party (currently "Tradedoubler") to provide and maintain the Affiliate Programme platform. While we endeavour to ensure that we have agreed appropriate services levels, we do not have total control over the platform and therefore cannot be held responsible for any failures arising from such third party services.

We, or a third party acting on our behalf, shall either make available the Online Report through the Affiliate Programme platform or send a copy of it to you via email. While we undertake that the Online Report shall be substantially accurate at the date of publication, you acknowledge that the Online Report may require updates to incorporate permitted deductions or additions which necessarily arise after the issue of that Online Report, including but not limited to "charge backs" made towards the end of the month (the "Statement Update"). We shall include such deductions or additions in the following month's Online Report.

All fees and charges specified are inclusive of local taxes, VAT or any other taxes which are payable in addition at then current and applicable rates and are your sole responsibility. Any fees due to you will be made by bank transfer and it is your responsibility to ensure that we are in possession of your correct bank details and VAT information at all times.

We reserve the right to suspend this Agreement in accordance with Clause 14.5, if we suspect that you have engaged in fraudulent behaviour and/or dishonest practices, including, but not limited to, where you refer players who are suspected of engaging in fraud or dishonest betting behaviour pending an investigation. If, after such investigation, we, in our reasonable discretion, determine that you have engaged in such fraudulent behaviour and/or dishonest practices we may terminate this Agreement immediately. If, after such investigation, we, in our absolute discretion determine that your have not engaged in fraudulent behaviour and/or dishonest practices, we will lift your suspension and pay to you all Fees legitimately earned.

You understand and agree that potential Introduced Customers must sign up and/or join through a Link which enables us to attach an Affiliate Tracker in order for you to receive the Fees in relation to such Introduced Customers. In no event are we liable for your failure to use the right Links.

At any time, for any reason, we have the right to change these payment terms upon providing one months notice to you.
