reduced subject to prior arrangements between You and Us.
3.5. Neither You nor Your friends, employees,
agents, advisors or relatives are allowed to become (potential) Qualified Leads
by using Your Tracking links. If such a situation occurs, You will not be

Us immediately of any such instances. Registrations to the Website made through
the use of a VPN, a proxy server, or
from the same IP Pool will not be credited towards your Affiliate Fees. Any
violation of this provision will authorise Us to immediately terminate this Agreement and
indefinitely withhold and seize all Affiliate Fees due to You at that time.
3.6. The calculations related to Your Affiliate
Fees shall be deemed final and binding, and are not subject to review or
negotiation. We shall make the relevant figures available to You through the

allocation of Affiliate Fees, You must ensure that the Tracking links are
correctly formatted and used during the term of this Agreement.
3.7. We reserve
the right to revise, change and amend the Affiliate Fees scheme and the Qualified
Lead qualification criteria, at our discretion. We shall notify You of any
revisions, changes, and amendments in writing. Unless otherwise specified in our

from the date of the said notification. It is your responsibility to stay
informed of any changes to the Affiliate Fees scheme.
3.8. We use proprietary fraud detection software
to monitor Your activity. We reserve the right to review all Affiliate Commissions for possible
fraud, regardless of whether such fraud may be on the Qualified Lead’s or on Your
end. During the said review, which shall not exceed 180 days, We have the right to withhold any Affiliate
Commission generated in Your account until the review has been concluded and
subject to the conclusions of such review. Any instance of fraud on Your end
constitutes a breach of this Agreement, giving Us the right to terminate this Agreement immediately. Additionally, if We deem that fraud has occurred, either on Your part or on the part of a
Qualified Lead, You shall not be entitled to receive any Affiliate Commission
which has been generated in Your Account at such time. We reserve the right to off-set

system, promotional abuse, or unauthorized use of third-party accounts,
copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights (which for the
avoidance of doubt includes Our intellectual property rights), as determined by
Us in Our sole discretion, regardless of whether or not such action has
resulted in any type of harm or damage to Us;

any possible alterations (e.g. letter replacement).
3.10. You understand and
agree that to earn an Affiliate
Commission, potential Qualified Leads must be directed through Your Tracking
link and subsequently classified as Qualified Leads. We are not responsible or liable for any loss of Affiliate Commissions, inaccuracies
in commission calculations, or any other issues arising from Your incorrect use
of Tracking links. Additionally, we reserve the right, at any time and at Our
sole discretion, to amend Our tracking system and reporting format and give You
a notice to that effect.
3.11. If You dispute the accuracy of reports or the amount payable, You must not accept the
disputed payment and immediately submit a written objection to Us. We must
receive your objection within ten (10) days from the date the report is made
available to You. Failure to object within this timeframe, will result in the
waiver of Your right to dispute the report or payment, and you will have no
further claims regarding this matter. Accepting a payment transfer or any form
of payment from Us will be deemed complete and final settlement of Affiliate
Commission due to You for the period indicated. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event of an overpayment due to an error in the calculation of Your Affiliate
Commission, We reserve the right to correct such calculation at any time and to
reclaim from You any overpayment made and/ or deduct and/or withhold from You
Affiliate Commission.

collecting and paying the income tax and social security contributions in
respect of Yourself and Your staff, if You have any staff. For the avoidance of
doubt, it is hereby clarified that We will not increase the fees payable as
Affiliate Commission due to any tax, levy, duty or charge imposed on the
payment of the Affiliate Commission, and all Affiliate Commissions are
inclusive of any such tax, charge, duty and/or levy.
