Further, if following your receipt of MNP’s written approval for your contacting or corresponding with a Lead or a Player, MNP deems that such contact or correspondence is against the best interests of MNP, MNP shall have the right to revoke the approval previously granted, to terminate this Agreement and/or to indefinitely withhold all Commissions owing to you at such time.
Programs and Commissions

Commission fees and program details for the above NetoPartners’ Affiliate Program options are detailed below.
Payments
All Commissions shall be paid to you on a monthly basis. Invoices received by us are rotated in a payment cycle which commences on the 1st of every month, and will be finalized by the 15th. Invoices must be received to us by the 10th of every month; failure to follow this procedure will result in any late invoice being settled in the next payment cycle.
Payments of Commissions shall be made directly to you as per your preferred payment method. You are urged to provide accurate details in regard to the manner and information relating to your preferred method of receiving Commissions and MNP shall not be held liable for your delayed receipt of Commissions due to your provision of inaccurate details.
Without derogating from any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, any Commission containing a Revenue Share component with respect to the Sites, shall only be payable for a maximum period of 24 months from the date on which the applicable Lead qualifies as a Player and in any event only during the term of this Agreement.
Where you earn your Commission in accordance with the Revenue Share scheme set out, MNP will apply a negative balance carry-over policy (the “Policy“). The Policy consists of the following two rules : (i) in reaching the total Commission owed to you in a calendar month MNP shall calculate all Commissions, both positive and negative, generated by Players via the Sites; and (ii) in the event that at the conclusion of a calendar month the Commission generated by Players via the Sites is a negative amount, we shall apply such negative amount to the Commission calculation of the subsequent calendar months until such time as the negative balance has been fully set-off against future positive Commission amounts generated or any other payment payable to you by any entity in corporate group of companies to which MNP belongs (the “Group”) or issue an invoice for such negative amount at our discretion, subject to the “High-Roller Policy” defined below.
Any Customer who has generate 5000 Euros (or a currency equivalent) or more on any of the MNP Site(s) in any calendar month. In the event that the total revenue generated by any High Roller is negative for a given calendar month, the negative balance will be carried over from month to month, until a positive balance is achieved (i.e., until such time as the negative balance has been fully set-off against future positive amounts generated by such High Roller). MNP may at any time notify you that the High Roller Policy shall no longer apply and in such instance the Sections above shall automatically apply which includes without limitation to any negative balance of a High Roller at such time.
In the event that the Commission to be paid to you in any calendar month is less than 500€ for Wire Transfer or 150€ for Neteller/MoneyBookers/ePayments (the “Minimum Amount”), MNP shall not be obligated to make the payment until such time as the Commission is equal to or greater than the Minimum Amount.
MNP shall be entitled to set-off from the amount of Commission to be paid to you any associated costs related to the transfer of such Commission.
All the Commission fees due and payable by us to the Affiliate are inclusive of any VAT, tax, charge, levy or other costs which may be imposed on such payment and we shall be under no obligation to increase such payment in the event such tax becomes applicable. The Affiliate is fully responsible for all taxes, fees, charges or other costs incidental to and arising from any payments due or made under this Agreement by the relevant authority.
If an Affiliate is inactive or dormant for more than a period of 6 months, meaning that the Commission falls below a certain threshold in that time period, MNP reserves the right to restructure the Commission. We may advise you from time to time by way of e-mail or other form of written correspondence regarding this matter.
All Commissions will be reviewed for possible Fraud, whether such Fraud is on the part of the New Player or on your part. We reserve the right to withhold any Commission accrued in your favor, such Commission(s) not to be paid until such time as the review has been concluded. Any incidence of Fraud on your part constitutes a breach of this Agreement, and we retain full authority to terminate this Agreement immediately in the event of such breach. Further, in the event that we deem that Fraud has occurred, either on your part or on the part of a New Player, you shall not be entitled to receive any Commissions which have accrued to your benefit at such time in relation to same whether such Commissions were generated through Fraud or otherwise. For the purpose of this Agreement and by way of example only the term “Fraud” shall include, but shall not be limited to: (i) the encouragement by you or a third party of bonus abuse on the part of the New Players; (ii) a chargeback executed by a New Player in relation to their initial deposit; (iii) collusion on the part of the New Player with any other player on the Site(s); (iv) the opening of an account in breach of the terms of this Agreement; (v) the offering or providing by you or any third party of any unauthorized incentives (financial or otherwise) to potential or existing players; (vi) creating or using a single Link intended to be used by a single Lead; and (vii) any other act by you or by a New Player which is reasonably understood to have been committed in bad faith against MNP regardless of whether or not such action has resulted in any type of harm or damage to MNP.
Revenue Share Program
We will pay you according to the base percentage reflected in Table 1 below for any Gross Revenues generated by your referred New Players on our Sites. Only real money purchases will qualify for calculation of Gross Revenue.
All fees shall be determined by us based on New Player logs and our determinations will be final. We reserve the right to change the Commission fee schedules and method of calculation of Commission fees at any time during the term of this Agreement, by posting a change notice or a new affiliate agreement on our Website.

We retain the right to accept or decline admittance to the CPA program to any prospective Affiliate for any reason whatsoever in our sole discretion, and all Affiliates must have our prior approval to participate in the CPA option.
