7. Reporting – Data Protection

1. The Programme Partner will provide online reporting to each Marketing Partner detailing registrations, new Referred Players, and commission payable from each of the Operators the Marketing Partner promotes.

2. The Programme Partner will enable Marketing Partners to access this information online. Should this not be possible at any stage, the Programme Partner will use its best efforts to make the system available to the Marketing Partner again within a reasonable timeframe. It is understood that access to the system is not a precondition for membership to the StarGames Partners Programme.

3. The Programme Partner considers privacy (data protection), information security and reliability crucial to the success of the StarGames Partners Programme. To this regard, reporting does not include any Player’s information which would be considered personal data according to (i) the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (the “GDPR”), (ii) German Federal Data Protection Act of 30 June 2017 implementing the GDPR and (iii) guidelines or similar acts issued by the relevant data protection authorities and gaming regulators, as applicable.

8. Payment

1. The commission will be calculated twice in a calendar month (on the 1st and on the 15th of the month respectively, “Commission Calculation Date”) in accordance with the Marketing Partner payment plan after the Marketing Partner has completed the registration process and/or when the Programme Partner has activated additional tracking links.

CPA Payment Plan (also known as a Cost per Acquisition Plan) is based on a fixed amount to be received for each new Referred Player that the Marketing Partner introduces via the Marketing Partner’s Tracker ID. CPA calculation can be triggered at various points of acquisition depending on the setup of the CPA commission deal. The setup, depending on the criteria, can also be specific to the acquisition of Players who participate in a product vertically (i.e. Slots); however, this is outlined in the commission deal and seen within the StarGames Partners Programme software.

Any acquisition of Players generated via fraud traffic (as defined in section 6) is not taken into account for the purposes of the commission.

3. Other payment plans may be available at a later stage, according to legal and regulatory requirements of the territory. This is at the discretion of the Programme Partner’s representative. In such a case, the Marketing Partner can contact the Programme Partner’s representative to discuss other possible payment plan options that may be available, if any.

4. The Operator reserves the right to change a Marketing Partner’s commission payment plan towards future referrals and, if needed, existing user referrals for any of the following reasons, including but not limited to:

  • i. non-performance,
  • ii. inactivity,
  • iii. suspicious fraudulent activity.

Provided that this change is notified to the Marketing Partner via the provided Marketing Partner contact email.

5. In the event that suspicions are raised as to the use of fraudulent elements in order to raise one’s commission, the Programme Partner may withhold payment of said commission and all future commission until it is satisfied that no fraudulent methods were used. Provided that fraudulent methods have in fact been used, then payment of such commission shall not take place and the Marketing Partner’s agreement shall be terminated immediately.

6. The commission shall be paid to the Marketing Partner by the Programme Partner and shall – if possible – be credited via the chosen payment method of the Marketing Partner within fifteen (15) days from the Commission Calculation Date. If the payment method or the Marketing Partner company information (including, but not limited to, the company’s legal name, VAT number, address) is changed by the Marketing Partner within a period of 24 hours before the Commission Calculation Date, the payment will be delayed and performed on the next Commission Calculation Date. The Programme Partner shall not be held liable for any delay due to technical reasons and events which are beyond the Programme Partner’s or the Operator’s reasonable control.

7. The commission can only be paid out if the credit has reached a minimum amount of fifty euro (EUR 50.00). If this requirement is not met, the commission shall be carried over until a total of fifty euro (EUR 50.00) has been accumulated.

8. All taxes due in connection with any payments to the Marketing Partner shall remain at all times the Marketing Partner’s sole liability. The Marketing Partner is responsible for complying with the rules, if any, for registering for and paying income tax and similar taxes in respect of the Marketing Partner’s income from this agreement and for collecting and paying the income tax and social security contributions in respect of the Marketing Partner’s staff if the Marketing Partner has any staff. If Value Added Tax (VAT) or any other sales tax, gaming tax or turnover tax is chargeable, the Marketing Partner is responsible for complying with the rules, if any, for registering for the tax and collecting and paying tax in the country where the services are provided, and the Marketing Partner acknowledges that the payments that it receives shall be deemed to include all VAT or sales tax or turnover tax.

9. The Marketing Partner shall comply with all applicable laws and any policy notified by the Programme Partner through the Operator’s Website or otherwise in relation to money laundering and/or the proceeds of crime.

10. The standard commission is to be paid based on self-billed invoices. All invoices and payments under this agreement shall be in euro. Should a Marketing Partner activity statement be required instead and upon such request be accepted by the Programme Partner, payment can only be done upon presentation of the invoice no later than 15 days after the specific Commission Calculation Date. Upon approval by the Programme Partner, the payment will be credited after 15 days and paid according to the payment method stated on the invoice.

11. Bank charges for international money transfers are settled on a shared cost basis. The Programme Partner will pay the fees for the payment order, while the Marketing Partner pays the charges of any intermediary bank (and those of its own bank, if any). The intermediary bank fees are deducted from the amount transferred to the Marketing Partner.

9. Intellectual Property (IP)

1. Intellectual Property Rights means rights to all existing and future patents, trademarks, design rights, service marks, trade dress, trade or business names (including domain names), registered designs, copyright (including rights in computer software), moral rights, database rights, format rights and topography rights (whether or not any of these is or are registered and including applications for registration), know-how, trade secrets and rights of confidence and all rights and forms of protection throughout the world of a similar nature or with similar effect to any of these for the full unexpired period of any such rights and any extensions and/or renewals thereof, including the words “STARGAMES” (in any capitalisation, font or format) and/or any logo, mark, domain name or trade name that contains, is confusingly similar to or is comprised of the Operator’s marks (or parts thereof) or any other name or mark owned from time to time by the Operator or any third party.

11. Policies and Confidentiality

1. The Programme Partner hereby grants the Marketing Partner a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable licence during the term of this agreement to use any IP with regards to the approved marketing materials for the display on the Marketing Partner’s website and for the sole purpose of the agreement. This licence cannot be sub-licenced, assigned, sold or otherwise transferred by the Marketing Partner without the Programme Partner’s prior written approval. The Programme Partner has the right to terminate this licence at any time by providing written or electronic notification to the Marketing Partner. The Marketing Partner guarantees to maintain the email address stored in the registration with the StarGames Partner’s Software and inform the Programme Partner in any event should this email address change. A notification sent to the stipulated Programme Partner email address is accepted as sufficient for any communication regarding these T&C.

2. The Marketing Partner shall not contest the ownership of the IP and shall not take any action that may invalidate or weaken the validity of the IP or diminish the goodwill with the IP.

3. The Marketing Partner shall cease to use all IP upon being notified to do so by the Programme Partner (either by electronic or written notification) or the termination of this agreement.

4. The Operator enters into a legal relationship with the Player at point of the first contact with the visitor. The Marketing Partner acts as a provider of promotional services for the Programme Partner and the Operator. The Operator reserves the right to refuse Players (or to close their accounts). In the event that any Player’s Account/s are suspended or closed by the Operator and subsequently reactivated at a later stage, such Player/s will be reassigned/retagged to the Marketing Partner and the Marketing Partner will be entitled to earn referral fees in respect of such Player in accordance with the then prevailing commission model.

5. When a Player opens an account on the Operator’s Website, that person will become the Operator’s customer and, accordingly, all Website terms and conditions will apply to them.

6. The Marketing Partner may receive confidential information from the Programme Partner, including confidential information as to the Operator’s marketing plans, marketing concepts, structure, payments and other information relating the Operator’s business operations. This information is confidential to the Operator and constitutes part of the Operator’s proprietary trade secrets. The Marketing Partner shall not disclose this information to third parties or use such information other than for the purposes of this agreement without the Programme Partner’s prior written consent, save as expressly required by law (provided that any such disclosure is only to the extent so required).

7. The Marketing Partner’s obligations with respect to confidential information shall survive the termination of this agreement.

12. Miscellaneous

1. Notices. All notices pertaining to this agreement will be given by email to the email address provided by the Marketing Partner.

2. Relationship of Parties. There is no relationship of exclusivity, partnership, joint venture, employment, agency or franchise between the Marketing Partner and the Programme Partner and its Operator to which the Programme Partner provides a service under this agreement. Neither party has the authority to bind the other (including the making of any representation or warranty, the assumption of any obligation or liability and/or the exercise of any right or power), except as expressly provided in this agreement.

3. Non-Exclusive. The Marketing Partner understands and accepts that the Programme Partner may at any time (directly or indirectly) enter into marketing terms with other Marketing Partner/s on the same or different terms as those provided to the Marketing Partner in this agreement and that such Marketing Partners may be similar and even in competition with the Marketing Partner.

4. Press. The Marketing Partner may not issue any press release or other communication to the public with respect to this agreement, the Operator’s marks or the Marketing Partner’s participation in this StarGames Partners Programme without the Programme Partner’s prior written consent, except as required by law or by any legal or regulatory authority.

5. Assignment. Except where the Marketing Partner has received the Programme Partner’s prior written consent, the Marketing Partner may not assign at law or in equity (including by way of a charge or declaration of trust), sub-licence or deal in any other manner with this agreement or any rights under this agreement, or sub-contract any or all of the Marketing Partner’s obligations under this agreement, or purport to do any of the same. Any purported assignment in breach of this clause shall confer no rights on the purported assignee.

6. Governing Law. This agreement (including any variation or modification thereto) shall be deemed executed in Malta and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Malta without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. The Marketing Partner irrevocably agrees that, subject as provided below, the courts of Malta shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any claim, dispute or matter arising out of, or in connection with, or concerning this agreement or its enforceability and the Marketing Partner waives any objection to proceedings in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of the Programme Partner to take proceedings against the Marketing Partner in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction.

7. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but, if any provision of these T&C is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of this agreement or any other provision hereof.

8. Entire Agreement. This agreement and the Marketing Partner sign-up form embody the complete agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or subsequent oral or written agreement or understanding between the parties in relation to such subject matter save in respect of modification to this agreement provided by the Programme Partner to the Marketing Partner. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this agreement, it has not relied on any statement, representation, guarantee warranty, understanding, undertaking, promise or assurance (whether negligently or innocently made) of any person (whether party to this agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in the agreement. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives all claims, rights and remedies that, but for this clause, it might otherwise have had in relation to any of the foregoing. Nothing in this section shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

9. No Waiver by the Programme Partner. If there is a breach of any provision of this agreement, it shall not be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

10. The Marketing Partner shall defend, indemnify and hold the StarGames Programme Marketing Partner and the Programme Partner’s officers, directors, employees and representatives harmless on demand from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) resulting or arising (directly or indirectly) from the Marketing Partner’s breach of this agreement.

11. The Programme Partner’s obligations under this agreement do not constitute personal obligations of the owners, directors, officers, agents, employees, vendors or suppliers of the Operator’s Website(s) or services other than as provided under this agreement. Other than as expressly provided in these T&C, in no event will the Programme Partner be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive loss, injury or damage of any kind (regardless of whether the Programme Partner has been advised of the possibility of such loss) including any loss of business, revenue, profits or data. The Programme Partner’s liability arising under this agreement, whether in contract, or for breach of statutory duty or in any other way shall only be for direct damages and shall not exceed the commission amounts payable to the Marketing Partner in relation to the Operator’s Website(s) that the dispute relates to over the previous 12 months at the time that the event giving rise to the liability arises. However, nothing in this agreement will operate to exclude or limit either party’s liability for death or personal injury arising as a result of that party’s negligence or for fraud.

These are all the stipulated clauses of the T&C for the StarGames Partners Programme. Should there be any queries, please contact us on the stipulated email of the Programme Partner.
