However, no negative carryover still applies to that Account/Brand as a whole and per brand.
- 10.5 Commission when a player is an affiliate Vegas Folks reserves the right not to pay an affiliate partner for their personal losses within the site(s).
- 10.6 To avoid doubt, you will not be entitled to receive any Affiliate Accruals for revenues generated by Players on our Sites except as set out in the Payment Plan you choose for the Sites that are part of the Affiliate Network.
- 10.7 Any earnings not collected within 12 months (regardless the reason) will be forfeit and removed from the balance on your account.
- Brand Names/Trademarks
- 11.1 Vegas Folks does not permit its affiliates to use its brand names / trademarks in any domain used to send players to us. Any affiliate found doing so will be required to transfer the domain to us.
- 11.2 If you do own a domain containing any of our brand names/trademarks please login to your registrar and unlock the domain which needs to be transferred. You should then send us the authorization code. We will then initiate the transfer and pay the transfer cost associated with this. Continued practice will cause the affiliate to be subject to termination and payments suspended. Please help us with this issue by either handing your domain/s over or reporting any such domains to us.
- 11.3 Marketing Codes.
- 11.4 You have been issued one marketing code per Brand and this is to be used only on the site on which you have been approved to promote our Vegas Folks Brands. Any partners found to be sending traffic from an unapproved site will risk having the traffic from that site invalidated and/or having their affiliate status removed.
- 11.5 Approved use of Marketing Codes and PPC Advertising.
- 11.6 Creating web sites for the sole purpose of taking advantage of any of our Brand terms, in particular "our Brand name Marketing Code", is not allowed. Sites targeting marketing codes will need to cease doing so or risk payments being withheld. Whilst including a marketing code on your site is allowed, a site which only exists for the purpose of promoting marketing codes is not. This includes websites with 'marketing code' in the URL and other sites which are deemed to serve no purpose other than to promote the marketing code. The same applies to buying PPC adverts in search engines eg Google , where bidding on our Casino/Poker and Betting Brand Terms for both desktop and mobile traffic is strictly forbidden. We have a zero tolerance for this kind of activity and your account will be blocked with no payments being made for traffic that you send to us from these sources.
