ARTICLE 4. | CONTENT OF AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS

  1. The affiliate is only eligible to affiliate fees, notwithstanding that stated in subsection 2, subsection 3, subsection 13 and articles 5, if:
    • visitors or users of the affiliate website are linked via a promotool and, in accordance with the systems of Affilaxy that register this, to the affiliate and those visitors or users have made a payment in favour of Affilaxy; or
    • the affiliate introduces affiliation partners to Affilaxy and those partners generate affiliate fees via Affilaxy, whereby the affiliation partners introduced by the affiliate act as an affiliate within the meaning of these terms and conditions.
  2. In addition to that which has been stated in the subsection 1 under a, the affiliate is only eligible to the affiliate fees if:
    • and, for as long as promotools have been installed in the prescribed manner on the affiliate website(s), or if the promotool concerns a white-label website, that website has been taken into use by the affiliate in the relevant prescribed manner, and;
    • and as long as all white label websites used by the affiliate in the context of the affiliate agreement are active. If the affiliate uses multiple white label websites in the context of a single affiliate agreement and takes offline or otherwise deactivates one or more of those websites in the interim, Affilaxy will then be entitled on the basis of article 5 to terminate the affiliate agreement with immediate effect and take all of the affiliate’s white label websites offline, and;

    • for as long as the affiliate is registered as such with Affilaxy, regardless of whether the affiliate (still) uses promotools.
  3. In addition to that which has been stated in subsection 1 under b, the affiliate is only eligible to receive affiliate fees if and, for as long as, the affiliate is registered as such with Affilaxy and the relevant affiliation partner is registered with Affilaxy in the prescribed manner by the affiliate.

  5. The affiliate has access to his account on Affilaxy via his user name and password, whereby the affiliate is provided with more information regarding the statistics that are relevant for the affiliate fees he generates.

PROMOTOOLS

  1. Visitors or users of the affiliate website(s), who register via a promotool on a Affilaxy site linked to that promotool, are linked to the affiliate for an indefinite period. This link means that when that visitor or user has purchased credit packs on the linked Affilaxy site, he is eligible for an affiliate fee for each purchased credit pack, which is calculated on the basis of a pre-determined percentage explicitly stated in the offer by Affilaxy. The affiliate percentage fee is calculated after deducting withholding tax (VAT) and transaction fees.
  2. The offer of promotools has various methods for the determination of affiliate fees; static or on the basis of sliding scales. If the affiliate fees are determined on the basis of sliding scales, the applicable scale depends on the number of purchased credit packs purchased by the visitors or users linked to the affiliate during a calendar month. The affiliate will again be placed in the lowest applicable sliding scale on the first day of each calendar month.
  3. The administration of Affilaxy automatically generated via its systems are leading in determining whether a visitor or user of the affiliate website is linked to the affiliate within the meaning of subsection 5, and in determining whether this visitor or user has performed a transaction on a Affilaxy site.
  4. Affilaxy offers the affiliate correctly operating links (PHP script, JavaScript and IFrames) or one or more white-label websites, so that the promotools can be installed or taken into use by the affiliate on affiliate websites. These links and white-label websites are able to adequately measure the traffic on the affiliate website(s) or the white-label website.
  5. Affilaxy only grants the affiliate a non-exclusive and non-transferable user right regarding the promotools and the accompanying house style, logos and other content, for the sole purpose of promoting Affilaxy sites.

  6. The results of the traffic generated with the aid of promotools, generated transactions and the personal data of users and visitors of affiliate websites that Affilaxy obtains via the promotools, accrue exclusively to Affilaxy. Transactions entered into by users and visitors of the affiliate website on the basis of the promotools are agreements between them and Affilaxy. The affiliate can make no other claims regarding those transactions with respect to Affilaxy, other than those regarding the affiliate fees.
  7. Affilaxy is entitled at all times to adjust the promotools at subordinate points or otherwise, and is not liable for any damage resulting from this to the affiliate.

INTRODUCTION OF AFFILIATION PARTNERS

  1. Affiliation fees, in respect of the application of subsection 1 under b, are calculated on the basis of the pre-determined percentages of the affiliation fees of the relevant affiliation partners generated via Affilaxy. The administration of Affilaxy, automatically generated via its system is decisive in determining the affiliate fees generated via Affilaxy by those affiliation partners.
  2. The affiliate is not permitted to introduce affiliation partners who:
    • are registered or reside at the same address as the affiliate.
    • are a direct business partner of the affiliate, even if they do not act as such;
    • already have an account at Affilaxy;
    • use the same bank account number as the affiliate;
    • exploit one or more of the same affiliate websites as the affiliate.

If it is determined, that, despite that which has been agreed, an affiliation partner acts contrary to that stated above of this subsection, then the right of the affiliate to the payment of any affiliate fee(s) will be cancelled, notwithstanding the other rights attributed to Affilaxy, including those stated in the next article.

ARTICLE 5. | GIVING NOTICE AND TERMINATION OF AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS AND LAPSE OF PAYMENT OF FEES

  1. All current affiliation agreements with the affiliate can be terminated by the affiliate via email (moc.yxaliffa@ofni). This termination will be effective immediately. The affiliation fees generated by the affiliate as of that moment are no longer eligible for payment.
  2. The current affiliation agreements with the affiliate will be terminated by email by Affilaxy with observance of a notice period of 14 days.
  3. Affilaxy actively monitors traffic, clicks, click-throughs, registrations, leads, payments and other affiliate program-related activities for potential fraud. If Affilaxy suspects that the user account of the affiliate was used in a fraudulent manner, then Affilaxy is entitled to block that account immediately and without prior notice, pending further investigation. If, as a result of that investigation, it shows, according to Affilaxy, that the affiliate has generated fraudulent traffic in some kind of way, then Affilaxy is entitled to dissolve the affiliation contract with immediate effect and to cancel any affiliation reimbursements still to be paid out in that context to the affiliate. Furthermore, in that case, Affilaxy is eligible to claim immediate return payment of all reimbursements already paid out to the affiliate in the context of the affiliate contract, also those which do not relate to fraudulent actions. To prevent the measures referred to above, the affiliate will need to prove in writing that no fraud was committed. This needs to occur within 30 days after Affilaxy has notified the affiliate of the intended measures.

  6. Until an affiliation agreement has been terminated, the affiliate can claim the payment of the applicable affiliate fees, subject to the relevant terms and conditions. Any affiliation fees generated after termination of an affiliation agreement are not eligible for payment.
  7. If and insofar as visitors and/or users of the affiliate website have good reason to reclaim payments from Affilaxy and affiliate fees have already been paid out to the affiliate on those payments, Affilaxy will immediately reclaim those affiliate fees from the affiliate.
  8. After termination of affiliation agreements Affilaxy is under no obligation to keep the data provided by the affiliate or data generated in its benefit.

The affiliate must realise that legislation and regulations outside of the Netherlands can deviate from Dutch legislation and regulations.
  10.

  2. Before bringing a matter before the court, the parties must first try to resolve the matter amicably amongst themselves.
