4.10 8888.bg reserves the right to request any information from the Affiliate for due diligence purposes in line with its obligations under applicable law as it may from time to time deem fit.

4.11 8888.bg’s Rights to freeze or close accounts. In addition to any other right, which the Company may be entitled to under this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to:

5. Payments

5.1 The default payment plan which is to apply in the absence of any agreement to the contrary shall be the Revenue Share Payment Plan.

5.2 8888.bg shall pay you (in accordance with the provisions of Clause 5.6) a percentage (as detailed on the commission page of your 8888.bg Affiliate account and which will be indicated in the merchant agreement) of Net Revenues received during the term of the Agreement in connection with any applicable 8888.bg Site. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not be entitled to any revenue share in respect of revenues generated by Customers following the termination of this Agreement.

5.3 Other target-based payments may be introduced by 8888.bg from time to time in relation to some or all of the 8888.bg Sites either in addition to or in place of the above Net Revenue based payment. Any such payments will be detailed on the commission page of your 8888.bg Affiliate account. 8888.bg reserves the right to make changes to your commission page, including to the levels of commission due to you, and any such changes shall take effect immediately on their being changed in your commission page.

5.4 In order to keep your right to receive commission from 8888.bg, you need to generate at least 10 new customers in the last calendar month who have registered through a link on your website. If this condition is not met, then you lose the right to receive the monthly payment and your commission is carried over to the next month (positive carryover). 8888.bg has the right to reduce your remuneration calculated on the basis of net revenue, reduce the revenue share or terminate its agreement with you if there has been activity of less than 5 new active registrations (new active registrations are users who have successfully made a deposit and/or made a pledge) in the last 3 months. We will notify you by email if such a reduction or termination occurs.

5.5 8888.bg shall provide you with statements accessible via affiliates.8888.bg detailing the number of Customers and the revenues generated from those Customers, if any, which have accrued to you over the course of the previous calendar month. At the end of a calendar month, 8888.bg shall record your total share of Net Revenues, if any, during the previous calendar month. If a revenue share does not exceed €100, 8888.bg shall be entitled to withhold and carry forward such sum until the end of the first calendar month in which the revenue share (including any sum carried forward) exceeds €100, at which time payment shall be made in accordance with Clause 5.7. For the avoidance of doubt, you will only receive a payout when there is a positive balance and it is greater than €100, in any given month.

5.6 No Negative CarryOver. In case cumulative wins of a single Player result in Affiliate negative balance of more than $5 000 in a given month, this Player will be isolated and won’t generate any Total Net Gaming Revenue to the Affiliate until the full amount of the negative balance has been satisfied.

5.7 At the end of each accounting period, within five days, you have the right to contest the report generated according to point 5. If you have not expressed your disagreement with the generated report within the mentioned term, you no longer have the right to contest it and the statistical and financial data are considered to be accepted automatically. At the expiration of the mentioned term you will issue an invoice which will be paid by 8888.bg within 30 days of receipt. The invoice will be issued in either Euro or in the national currency.

5.8 If the Affiliate does not report the generated report within five (5) days from the end of the accounting period or does not provide the requested invoices in due time, the balance is carried forward to the next accounting period and may be affected by the earnings of the next accounting period;

5.9 You will notify 8888.bg immediately if you:

5.10 You warranty that the VAT (if applicable) shown on the invoice for the transactions covered by this Agreement is your output tax due to the relevant tax authority.

5.11 You agree and undertake that if applicable any withholding taxes, levies, or similar charges, imposed by any applicable law in connection with the payments made under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Affiliate. The Organizer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment due under this Agreement such amounts as may be required under applicable law.

5.12 You shall indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all losses, demands, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including, but not limited to, consequential losses and loss of profit, reasonable legal costs and expenses and VAT thereon if applicable) and liabilities suffered or incurred, directly or indirectly, by 8888.bg in consequence of any breach by you of this Clause 5.9 or as a result of your VAT status being different from that notified to us.

5.13 We shall make reasonable efforts to make any payments due to you in a timely fashion. However, we shall not be liable for occasional delays or delays outside of our control. For example, any changes in the contact or banking details provided by you may give rise to a delay of up to 60 days in making any payments due. Where you become aware of any overdue payments due to you, please contact us immediately and we will seek to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

5.14 We shall use reasonable endeavours to make payments due to you using the payment details provided to us. However, in certain circumstances we may be unable to make payments to you for reasons outside of our control (for example where the bank account details provided are inaccurate or incomplete). Where this occurs, we shall make reasonable efforts for a period of up to six (6) months to contact you via the contact details last provided by you to 8888.bg to obtain alternative payment details. If we are still not in a position to make the payments after this period, we may close or suspend your account without further notice and you shall be deemed to have forfeited any entitlement to payment.

5.15 If an error is made in the calculation of your share of the revenue share, 8888.bg reserves the right to correct such calculation at any time and to reclaim from you any overpayment made by 8888.bg to you (including, without limitation, by way of reducing future payments which might otherwise be due to you from us from time to time).

5.16 No payment will be due if 8888.bg has reason to believe that the traffic generated by the Affiliate is illegal or violates any of the provisions of the Agreement.

5.17 Affiliate agrees to refund all commissions received for traffic that violates any of the provisions of the Agreement and to indemnify 8888.bg for all costs and losses incurred in connection with such transactions (including, but without limitation, legal fees and costs).

5.18 8888.bg makes every effort to ensure that no errors are made in the calculation of amounts due to affiliates. However, human, systems’ and/or third party error may occasionally result in errors. 8888.bg reserves the right to correct any obvious errors and to void any payments (to include the right to be reimbursed where payments have been made in error) where such have occurred.

5.19 In the case of any blatant errors in payments made (including for example where the payment made is materially different to previous or comparable payments/periods and/or the payment is clearly incorrect, depending on all of the circumstances), the amount paid will be rebalanced at the appropriate rate. Should you be credited in error, it is your responsibility, and you undertake, to notify 8888.bg of the error without delay. You hereby undertake to provide your full cooperation to 8888.bg to correct any such errors, including by way of the return of any over-payments. 8888.bg may set off any payment obligation due to us from you against any future payment obligation owed by us to you under this Agreement.
