Affiliate Terms And Conditions.


MyCapper.com Affiliate Program Agreement (“this Agreement” or “Affiliate Program”)

1. Our Rights and Obligations

1.1 Register your Customers
We will register your Customers and will track their transactions. We reserve the right to refuse Customers (or to close their accounts) if necessary to comply with any requirements we may periodically establish. "Customer" means your visitors who make a purchase after a click-thru from our designated MyCapper click-thru URL which will be provided to you when you join. By making a purchase with us, they will become our Customers, identified to you for life, and, accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures will apply to them.

1.2 Track Customers' Purchases
We will track your Customers' purchases and will make available to you a report summarizing their activities, which you will access from http://www.myreferer.com/mydb/affiliate.myreferer?M=masterbets

1.3 Pay a Referral Commission
Subject to clause 6, we will pay you referral commission (“Referral Commission”) of 15% of the net profit (defined below) we earn from purchasers directed from your site after they make a purchase at www.MyCapper.com.

1.4 Modification
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement or replace it at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site, which we will notify to you at the e-mail address you provided when you join the Affiliate Program. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available Referral Commissions and Affiliate Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE REFERRAL PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFICATION OR OF THE NEW AGREEMENT.

2. Your Rights and Obligations

2.1 Linking to our Websites.
By agreeing to participate in this Affiliate Program, you are agreeing to create and maintain unique links from your site to the MyCapper website (www.MyCapper.com). You may link to us with one of our banners, e-mails, articles or with a text link. This is the only method by which you may advertise on our behalf. We will terminate this Agreement immediately without recourse for you if there is any form of spamming or if you advertise our services in any other way. You shall not make any claims or representations, or give any warranties, in connection with us and you shall have no authority to, and shall not, bind us to any obligations.

2.2 Agency Appointment
By this Agreement, we grant you the non-exclusive, non-assignable, right to direct Customers to our site 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 of others at any time to perform services of the same or similar nature as yours. You shall have no claim to Referral Commission or other compensation on business secured by or through persons or entities other than you.

2.3 Approved Layouts
You will only use our approved banners and will not alter their appearance nor refer to us in any promotional materials other than those that are available from http://www.MyCapper.com/affiliate. The appearance and syntax of the hypertext transfer links are designed and designated by us and constitute the only authorised and permitted representation of our sites. DO NOT CREATE A DIRECT LINK TO THE PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS ON OUR WEBSITES.

2.4 Good Faith
You will not knowingly 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 otherwise 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 Referral Commission with respect to such traffic.

2.5 Responsibility for Your Site
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be solely responsible for ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libellous 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, legal fees) arising directly or indirectly out of the development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your site.

2.6 Affiliation
No affiliation can be made between our site and your site.

2.7 Licence to use Marks
We hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence, during the term of this Agreement, to use our trade name, trade marks, service marks, logos and any other designations, which we may from time to time approve (“Marks”) solely in connection with the display of the promotional materials on your site. This licence 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 licence. 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 rights in the Marks, render the same generic, or otherwise weaken their validity or diminish their associated goodwill. You must notify us immediately if you become aware of the misuse of the Marks by any third party

2.8 Confidential Information
During the term of this Agreement, you may be entrusted with confidential information relating to our business, operations, or underlying technology and/or the Affiliate Program (including, for example, Referral Commissions earned by you under the Affiliate Program). You agree to avoid disclosure or unauthorised use of any such confidential information to third persons or outside parties unless you have our prior written consent and that you will use the confidential information only for purposes necessary to further the purposes of this Agreement. Your obligations with respect to confidential information shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3. The Referral Commission
Subject to clause 6, you will earn Referral Commission of 15% based on the net profit of your referred Customers. Net profit is defined as:
Gross monies received by MyCapper in respect of all purchases made by your Customers after deducting; (i) monies paid in the form of taxes (ii) bad debts; (iii) fraud; (iv) voids; (v) any transaction fees. We retain the right to change the Referral Commission percentage and method of calculation of Referral Commission as we wish in accordance with clause 1.4.

4. Referral Commission Payment Currency
Referral Commissions arising from Customer accounts that are held in currencies other than United States Dollars (“USD”) will be converted to USD at the Foreign Exchange Rate available for the date of payout. All payments will be due and paid in USD otherwise agreed in advance.

4.1 Referral Fee Payout Requests
Your MyCapper Affiliate Program account must have a minimum payout request for earned Referral Commission of USD $50.00. There is no maximum. You are entitled to make 1 request for payment per month. Payment will not be processed until you have made a request.

5. Term and Termination, Consequences and Unsuitable Sites

5.1 Term and Termination
The term of this Agreement will begin when you complete the sign-up procedure and create a unique link to our sites and will be continuous unless and until either party notifies the other in writing that it wishes to terminate the Agreement, in which case this Agreement will be terminated immediately. TERMINATION IS AT WILL, WITH OR WITHOUT REASON, BY EITHER PARTY. For purposes of notification of termination, delivery via e-mail is considered a written and immediate form of notification.
5.2 Consequence
Upon termination you must remove all of our banners/icons from your site and disable all links from your site to ours. All rights and licenses given to you in this Agreement shall immediately terminate. You will return to us any confidential information, and all copies of it in your possession, custody and control and will cease all uses of our Marks.
5.3 Unsuitable Sites
WE MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IF WE DETERMINE (IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION) THAT YOUR SITE IS UNSUITABLE. Unsuitable sites include, but are not limited to, those that: are aimed at children, display pornography or other illegal sexual acts, promote violence, promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age, promote illegal activities or violate intellectual property rights
6. Continued Promotion
You shall incorporate and prominently and continually display the most up to date links provided by us on all relevant pages of your website in a manner and location agreed by us and you shall not alter the form or operation of the links without our prior written consent. You are eligible for Referral Commissions based upon your continued promotion of www.MyCapper.com. We reserve the right to reduce Referral Commission percentages if you reduce your efforts to recruit new Customers. Your reduced or suspended promotion of our sites will be deemed to represent your termination of this Agreement.

7. Relationship of Parties
Both parties are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between us. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that would contradict anything in this Agreement.

8. Indemnity
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold us, our directors, employees and representatives harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and costs, including legal fees, resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with (a) any breach by you of any warranty, representation or term contained in this Agreement, (b) the performance of your duties and obligations under this Agreement, (c) your negligence or (d) any injury caused directly or indirectly by your negligent or intentional acts or omissions, or the unauthorised use of our banners and links or this Affiliate Program.

9. Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Affiliate Program, about ourselves or the Referral Commission payment arrangements (including, without limitation, functionality, warranties of fitness, merchantability, legality or non-infringement), and do not express nor imply any warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage. In addition, we make no representation that the operation of our sites will be uninterrupted or error-free and will not be liable for the consequences if there are any. In the event of a discrepancy between the reports offered in the http://www.MyCapper.com/affiliate system and the MyCapper database, the database shall be deemed accurate.

10. Limitation of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Affiliate Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Affiliate Program will not exceed the total Referral Commissions paid or payable to you under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to provide any rights, remedies or benefits to any person or entity not a party to this Agreement. Our obligations under this Agreement do not constitute personal obligations of our directors, employees or shareholders. Any liability arising under this Agreement shall be satisfied solely from the Referral Commission generated and is limited to direct damages.

11. Independent Investigation
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OPERATE OR CONTRACT WITH WEBSITES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR WEBSITE. YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THIS AFFILIATE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT.

12.2 Assignability
You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against you and us and our respective successors and assigns.

12.3 Non-Waiver
Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

None of our employees or agents has any authority to make or to agree to any alterations or modifications to this Agreement or its terms.

You acknowledge, confirm, and agree that damages may be inadequate for a breach or a threatened breach of this Agreement and, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement, we may seek enforcement or compliance by specific performance, injunction, or other equitable remedy. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or affect any of our rights at law, or otherwise, for a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement, its being the intention of this provision to make clear that our rights shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but, if any provision of this Agreement 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 provision hereof.
