With our written permission, you may link directly to our downloadable .exe file. These are the only methods by which you may advertise on our behalf. We will terminate this agreement immediately if there is any form of spamming or if you advertise our casino in any other unauthorized way. You shall not make any claims, representations, or warranties in connection with us and you shall have no authority to, and shall not, bind us to any obligations.

3.2 Agency Appointment
By this Agreement, we grant you the non-exclusive right to direct customers to our site and services, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement does not grant you an exclusive right or privilege to assist us in the provision of services arising from your referrals, and we obviously intend to contract with and obtain the assistance from others at any time to perform services of the same or similar nature as yours. You shall have no claims to Revenue Shares and/or CPAs and/or other compensation on business secured by or through persons or entities other than you.

3.3 Approved Layouts
Without our prior written approval, you will only use our approved banners and will not alter their appearance. The appearance and syntax of the hypertext transfer link are designed and designated by us and constitute the only authorized and permitted representation of our site. You may only use banners from Sunny Diamonds banner farms.

3.4 Good Faith
You will not benefit from known or suspected traffic not generated in good faith whether or not it actually causes us damage. We reserve the right to retain all amounts due to you under this Agreement if we have reasonable cause to believe that such traffic has been caused with your knowledge. Even if you have not knowingly generated such traffic, we reserve the right to withhold Revenue Shares and/or CPAs with respect to such traffic.

3.5 Responsibility for Your Site
You will be solely responsible for ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal. We disclaim all liability for these matters. Further, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your site.

3.6 License to use Marks
We hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license, during the term of this Agreement, to use Sunny Diamonds intellectual-property marks (licensed, in turn by us, from their owner) solely in connection with the display of the banners on your site. This license cannot be sub-licensed, assigned or otherwise transferred by you. Your right to use the marks is limited to and arises only out of this license to use the banners.


You shall not assert the invalidity, unenforceability, or contest the ownership of the marks in any action or proceeding of whatever kind or nature, and shall not take any action that may prejudice our or our licensor's rights in the marks, render the same generic, or otherwise weaken their validity or diminish their associated goodwill.

 

4. Fees

4.1 Charge-backs
A charge-back is defined as un-collectable deposit transaction from the financial institution involved as a result of customer non payment or fraudulent use of any deposit method. All charged back amounts and fees will be deducted from your payment. Charge back fees will be paid to the financial institution involved and will be administered by Sunny Diamonds.

4.2 Fee Payment
We will pay you Revenue Shares or CPAs* on players directly referred from your site to ours.

Affiliates electing to participate in the Revenue Share option receive a given percentage of the Casino's Gross Revenue on all players directly referred.

We also pay Affiliates electing to participate in the Revenue Share option, Revenue Shares on earnings paid to qualifying webmasters referred by them up to 2 tiers down. The percentage payable on the earnings of a referred affiliate for each tier is: 
Tier 1:  10% 
Tier 2:  8%

*These will be paid on a monthly basis, by the 15th of each month, but not less than $50 per payment and based on a minimum of 3 new depositing players. If you fail to achieve the amount of $50 total fees payable to you and the 3 new depositing player minimum on a certain month, the earned amount will be forwarded to the next calendar month. In addition, for the account to remain active, the Affiliate must have referred at least 3 new depositing players within the last 6 months. If there were no new depositing player referrals within the last six month, the account will be deemed to be inactive and deactivated.

Webmaster traffic less than the minimum (3) would be subjected to an Audit before any payments can be made to the Webmaster. Payments will be made in US dollars unless otherwise stated. We will, for Affiliates electing to participate in the Revenue Share option whose account is in a negative position (e.g. because customer winnings have exceeded customer losses), zero out such a negative balance at the beginning of the new month so that the negative balance will not be carried over into the following month(s). Advertising Revenue will be based upon our good faith calculation based on our statistics.
