7.3. We shall be entitled to exercise any of our rights or fulfil any of our obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, our payment obligations pursuant to clause 8) through any Business.
- Payment
8.1. We offer a range of payment structures to our affiliates, including revenue share, CPA and hybrid models. Please note that the revenue plans applicable for any Customers which you deliver to our Ladbrokes.be Website differ from our usual affiliate commission plans for the other Websites. For commission plans for Customers delivered from the Partner Site to our Belgian Website (Ladbrokes.be) or further information on our payment structures please contact your affiliate account manager.
8.2. Unless otherwise agreed with your affiliate manager, our standard payment structure is to pay you (in accordance with the provisions of clause 8.5) a percentage of the Net Revenues received during the Term per Vertical. The percentage of Net Revenues payable shall be determined by the number of Customers delivered to us during each calendar month. Please go to the Commissions page on www.ladbrokespartners.com for information on our standard % of Net Revenues payable to you in consideration of the number of Customers delivered each month to us. You will also find information on our exciting and new promotional offers for new affiliates from time to time.
8.3. We shall provide you with statements accessible through www.ladbrokespartners.com detailing the number of Customers and your share of Net Revenues, which have accrued to you over the course of the calendar month.
8.4. At the end of a calendar month, we shall record your Revenue Share. In the event that a Revenue Share in any calendar month is a negative amount, we shall be entitled but not obliged to carry forward and set off such negative amount against all future Revenue Shares, which would otherwise be payable to you, until the negative balance is set off in full. However, we shall also be entitled but not obliged to zero out the negative balance that would otherwise be carried forward. If a Revenue Share does not exceed £100, we shall be entitled to withhold and carry forward such sum until the end of the first calendar month in which the Revenue Share (including such carried forward sum) exceeds £100, at which time payment shall be made in accordance with clause 8.5. For the avoidance of doubt, you will only receive a payout when there is a positive balance and it is greater than £100 in any given month.
8.5. Subject to clause 8.4, at the end of a calendar month, you may raise an invoice for the relevant Revenue Share payable by Ladbrokes to you, which shall be paid within 45 days of receipt by Ladbrokes of such invoice. However, raising an invoice is not a requirement as the relevant Revenue Share payable by us to you shall be automatically raised and paid out (in accordance with this clause 8.5) within 60 days of the end of the relevant calendar month. Such Revenue Share shall be paid in pounds sterling, inclusive of VAT if applicable.
8.6. If an error is made in the calculation of the Revenue Share, we reserve the right to correct such calculation at any time and to reclaim from you any overpayment made by us to you (including, without limitation, by way of reducing future payments which might otherwise be due to you from us from time to time).
8.7. We reserve the right to withhold all amounts due and payable to you under this Agreement if we believe that any Prohibited Activity has taken place or is contemplated, which involves you, whether or not the withheld amounts relate to the event in question. If we believe that any Prohibited Activity has taken place or is contemplated by any Customer without your knowledge, we will be entitled to withhold any amounts due to you in connection with such Prohibited Activity. We will also be entitled, in such events, to set-off from future amounts payable to you any amounts already received by you which can be shown to have been generated by any Prohibited Activity.
8.8. We reserve the right to decrease the amount of your Revenue Share to a lower percentage if during any three (3) month period you fail to deliver any new Customers.
8.9. We reserve the right to change your chosen payment structure (including the amount of your Revenue Share) upon written notice to you. Any such change will take effect from the date of such notice.
8.10. All calculations in connection with the amount payable to you under this Agreement will be made by us and based solely on our systems’ data and records, and our calculations will be final and binding.
8.11. Net Revenues received in currencies other than pounds sterling shall be converted in accordance with our standard currency exchange policy.
8.12. All payments shall be made inclusive of VAT, if applicable.
8.13. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause 8, we shall only be obliged to pay any amounts due to you under this Agreement (including any Revenue Share) during the Term.
