PAYMENT 7.1. Atomaffiliates.com agrees to pay the Affiliate the Commission. The Commission shall be deemed to be inclusive of value added tax (“VAT”) or any other applicable tax. The Affiliate shall be entitled to receive the Commission exclusively in respect of New Customers. 7.2. The default Commission shall be set at twenty-five percent (25%) revenue share of Net Revenue, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing. 7.3. Payment of Commissions shall be made in accordance with the payment method chosen by the Affiliate. If an error is made in the calculation of the Commission, Atomaffiliates.com reserves the right to correct such calculation at any time and will immediately pay out underpayment or reclaim overpayment made to the Affiliate. 7.4. The Commission is calculated at the end of each month and payments shall be made by the fifteenth (15th) of the following calendar month. Every deal shall be bespoke to suit the individual affiliate, but if no minimum threshold has been agreed upon in writing prior, the standard minimum threshold for payments shall be FIVE HUNDRED EUROS (€500) (“Minimum Threshold”). If the balance due is less than the Minimum Threshold, it shall be accumulated and carried over to the following month and shall be payable when the total Commission collectively exceeds the Minimum Threshold. 7.5. The Affiliate's acceptance of the payment of the Commission shall be deemed to constitute the full and final settlement of the balance due for the relevant period. 7.6. If the Affiliate disagrees with the balance due as reported, it shall notify Atomaffiliates.com within thirty (30) days from the date of payment and state the reasons of the disagreement. Failure to notify Atomaffiliates.com within the prescribed time limit shall be deemed to be considered as an irrevocable acknowledgment of the balance due for the period indicated. 7.7. Atomaffiliates.com may in its sole discretion withhold the payment of any balance to the Affiliate for up to one year (12 months) if Atomaffiliates.com needs to investigate and verify that the relevant transactions comply with the provisions of the Agreement. 7.8. No payment shall be due if Atomaffiliates.com has reasons to believe that the traffic generated by the Affiliate is illegal or is in breach of any of the provisions of the Agreement. 7.9. Atomaffiliates.com shall have right to refuse payment if Affiliate is not compliant under the relevant rules, laws, regulations of the territory it operates under or is targeting. 7.10. The Affiliate agrees to immediately return all Commission received based on fraudulent or falsified transactions and indemnify Atomaffiliates.com for all costs and losses incurred in relation to such transactions (including, but without limitation, legal fees and costs). 7.11. The Affiliate shall have the sole responsibility to pay any and all taxes, levies, fees, charges and any other money payable or due both locally and abroad (if any) to any tax authority, department or other competent entity as a result of the compensation generated under this Agreement. Atomaffiliates.com shall under no circumstances whatsoever be held liable for any such amounts unpaid but found to be due by the Affiliate and the Affiliate shall indemnify Atomaffiliates.com in that regard. 7.12. In the case where some registered players may open new accounts with the Pay n Play option, Atomaffiliates.com reserves the right to evaluate the players and check for duplicates with the existing database. If a match is found, no CPA will be paid for that player. The CPA shall be deducted from the Commission at the end of the month. 7.13. In order for CPA to be triggered, the player's first deposit must be made within 30 calendar days from registering the account. In the event that the first deposit is made after 30 calendar days from registering the account, the CPA will no longer be payable. 7.14. For those markets where there is a tax and/or VAT applicable, the tax will be deducted from player Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR). If this does not happen automatically by the system, Atomaffiliates.com shall deduct the tax and/or VAT manually by the end of the month. The Commission may be reduced due to the abovementioned reasons.
8.1. If a second Affiliate re-refers and activates a player that has not been active for a period of twelve (12) months, then this second Affiliate shall be entitled to the credit for the reactivation and the player will be assigned to the second Affiliate's player pool. This reassignment shall not be based on an automatic time interval but shall be limited only to those re-referral actions that can be materially identified (e.g. via specific promotional codes and only after the set period of inactivity). 8.2. A player that blocks him/herself for responsible gaming reasons within one (1) month from the date of registration shall be excluded from any CPA or Hybrid Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Revenue Share part of a Hybrid Commission model will still be honoured and for CPA Commissions a flat forty percent (40%) Revenue Share will be used for those players. 9. BIG WINNER POLICY 9.1. During any calendar month, if one specific player accumulates wins of at least FIVE THOUSAND EUROS (€ 5,000), this player will be considered a large winner (“Big Winner”) and will be governed under this Section 9. 9.2. The Big Winner will be isolated from the Affiliate pool of players and the negative revenue from this specific player will not affect the overall commissions from the other players during that given calendar month. The negative revenue created by the Big Winner will separately be carried forward and counted against the future revenue generated by the Big Winner. 9.3. The Big Winner will remain separated, and the negative balance will be adjusted by potential future positive revenue generated by the same Big Winner until the full amount of the negative balance has been satisfied and/or fulfilled. In such a case the Big Winner will then be returned to the Affiliate pool of players to continue to generate future commission for the Affiliate. 9.4. No negative carryover generated by the Big Winner will be taken into account after the twelve (12) month period in the calculation of the Commission due to the Affiliate. 9.5. The Affiliate will be notified of any Big Winner at latest ten (10) working days in the following month. The information about the negative balance generated by the Big Winner(s) will be traceable by the Affiliate in the Affiliate platform or via monthly reports from Atomaffiliates.com. 9.6. Each Big Winner occurrence will be treated individually. 9.7. Progressive wins shall not fall into the Big Winner category as such payment is taken from a progressive funds pool. 10.
