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.

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.

Your obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Fee Schedule
1. Affiliate net revenue earnings layout based on net win generated.
  
  You will earn referral income based on net revenue generated by your referred players according to the structure below:
  
  Net Win 0 - 1000 Rev Share = 25%
  Net Win 1000.01 - 5000 Rev Share = 30%
  Net Win 5000.01 - 10000 Rev Share = 35%
  Net Win 10000.01 - Above Rev Share = 40%
  
  Net Revenue is calculated as follows:
  NET REVENUE=CASINO NET WIN-FREE CREDITS-CHARGEBACKS. Silver Sands Casino pays from 25% to 40% referral fee on NET REVENUE generated by your players.
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.
Fee Payment

We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis, by the seventh of each month. Referral fees will be based upon our good faith calculation based on our statistics.
Term and 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.
