IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT.

Our Rights and Obligations
1. Linking to Silver Sands Casino
  By agreeing to participate in this Profit Sharing Program, you are agreeing to create a unique link from your site to Silver Sands Casino. You may link to us with one of our banners or with a text link. 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.
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 referral fees or other compensation on business secured by or through persons or entities other than you.
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 Silver Sands Casino that have been uploaded to your server. DO NOT DIRECTLY LINK TO THE BANNERS ON OUR WEBSITE. IF YOU DO THIS WE WILL NOT PAY YOU ANY REFERRAL FEES.
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 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 fees with respect to such traffic.
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 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.
6. License to use Marks
  We hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license, during the term of this Agreement, to use Silver Sands Casino 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.
7. Confidential Information
  During the term of this Agreement, you may be entrusted with Confidential Information relating to the business, operations, or underlying technology of Silver Sands Casino and/or the Profit Sharing Program (including, for example, referral fees earned by you under the program). You agree to avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of the 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.
Fee Schedule
1. Fee Schedule for 25% on net revenue
  You will earn referral fees based on the Net Revenue. Net Revenue is calculated as follows:
  NET REVENUE=CASINO NET WIN-FREE CREDITS-CHARGEBACKS. Silver Sands Casino pays 25% referral fee on NET REVENUE generated by affiliate.
2. Chargebacks
  A chargeback is defined as non-collectable receivable from VISA/MASTERCARD as a result of customer non-payment or fraudulent credit card use. All charged back amounts will be deducted from your payment or the reserved funds. Charge back fees will be paid to VISA/MASTERCARD and will be administered by Silver Sands Casino.
3. Should your affiliate account reflect a negative balance at month end, this negative balance will be carried over to the following month(s) until such a time as your earnings have returned your balance to a positive amount.
  Such positive amounts will then be paid out at month end placing your affiliate account on a ZERO balance. Please note this applies only to the ZAR brand as the Silver Sands Casino Euro, GBP and USD brand do not have a negative balance carry over.
Fee Payment

We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis, by the seventh of each month. If the account is in a negative position (e.g. because customer winnings have exceeded customer losses) the negative position will be carried over into the following month(s). Referral fees will be based upon our good faith calculation based on our statistics.
Term and Termination
1. The term of this Agreement will begin when you create a unique link to our site 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 may be terminated immediately. TERMINATION IS AT WILL, FOR ANY REASON, BY EITHER PARTY. For purposes of notification of termination, delivery via e-mail is considered a written and immediate form of notification.
2. Upon termination:
  You must remove all of our banners/icons from your site and disable the link from your site to ours. All rights and licenses given to you in this Agreement shall immediately terminate. You will be entitled only to those unpaid referral fees, if any, earned by you on or prior to the date of termination. You will not be entitled to referral fees with respect to play occurring after the date of termination. If you have failed to fulfil your obligations and responsibilities, we will not pay you the referral fees otherwise owing to you on termination. We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid. If we continue to permit play from customers after termination, this will not constitute a continuation or renewal of this Agreement or a waiver of termination.
3. Confidential Information
  WE MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IF WE DETERMINE (IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION) THAT YOUR SITE IS UNSUITABLE. Unsuitable sites include those that: are aimed at children, display child pornography or other illegal sexual acts, promote violence, promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age, promote illegal activities, violate intellectual property rights.
