Terms & Conditions

The current version of the T&Cs is readily accessible at https://vlpartners.com/#popup-terms and shall be referred to as “Version 1.0.” throughout this Agreement which was adopted on date: 01/06/2024

 

These Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) form the affiliate agreement (the “Agreement”) and set out the complete terms and conditions between VL Malta Services Limited (“VL Partners” or “we” or “us”), whose principal place of business is situated at Valletta Buildings Second Floor, Suite 7, South Street, Valletta, and on the second part, the individual or entity stated in the Affiliate Sign up Form (an “Affiliate” or “you”) for the VL Partners affiliates program (the “Affiliate Program”).

It is important that you read and understand this Agreement. By completing an application to join the Affiliate Program you are – subject to VL Malta Services Limited’ approval of your application – agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the following terms and conditions you should discontinue your application.

 

Compliance with Local Laws and Regulatory Guidelines: The Affiliate agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and any guidelines related to the promotion of VL Partners’s brands in their respective jurisdiction. This includes, but is not limited to, adhering to advertising standards, data protection laws, and other legal requirements specific to their jurisdiction. To support our Affiliates in understanding and complying with these laws and guidelines, VL Partners maintains a comprehensive ‘Compliance Page’ on our website. This page provides specific compliance guidance for various jurisdictions. Affiliates must regularly review and follow the compliance guidance provided on this page for each jurisdiction where they promote our brands. However, please note that the ‘Compliance Page’ does not replace the need for Affiliates to understand and comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where they operate. It is the Affiliate’s responsibility to ensure they are fully compliant with their local laws and regulations. The ‘Compliance Page’ is a supplementary resource provided by VL Partners, and we disclaim any liability for non-compliance arising from the Affiliate’s reliance on this resource.

 

Property Sites and Future Brands: This Agreement currently covers the Property Sites as defined herein (see the definition for “Property Sites”). However, it is acknowledged that VL Partners may expand the Property Sites to include new Brands. In the event of such expansion, the Affiliate agrees that this Agreement will automatically apply to the promotion of these new Brands. Affiliates will be informed of such changes via email, or official announcements on the VL Partners website at https://vlpartners.com, or any other appropriate communication channel. Please note, while the core terms of this Agreement will apply to new brands, there may be additional guidelines or terms specific to these new brands. Affiliates are required to adhere to these new guidelines or terms as communicated by VL Partners. For the sake of clarity, these additions to the “Property Sites” will be reflected in a timely manner in the updated definition of “Property Sites” in the Terms and Conditions. However, these updates will not fundamentally alter the terms of this Agreement, but merely extend its scope to the newly included brands.

 

This Agreement replaces all previous terms and conditions relating to the Affiliate Program or any previous affiliate program offered by VL Malta Services Limited or any Group Company (as defined below). Notices to the Affiliate concerning any such alteration in the Affiliate Program and/or this Agreement shall be made in writing (including digitally by using an email) and will take effect immediately. The Affiliate’s continued participation in the Affiliate Program, including but not limited to acceptance of any commissions from the Company, after such change notice is deemed to have been received under this Agreement, will always be deemed as a binding irrevocable accept of the new terms and conditions and/or other changes in the Affiliate Program.

 

If you have any queries or questions in relation to this Agreement, or wish to notify VL Malta Services Limited of any matter related hereto, you may contact us at affiliates@vlpartners.com.

 

Version Control: In order to maintain clarity and transparency in our Affiliate Program’s terms and conditions, we hereby implement the following version control provision to facilitate easy reference and understanding of any future amendments or updates to the Agreement:

 

These T&Cs forming the affiliate agreement between you and us are subject to change and improvement from time to time to reflect the evolving nature of our Affiliate Program.

 

Notification of Changes: In the event of any changes to the T&Cs, a clear summary of the modifications will be provided at the bottom of the updated document, outlining the nature of the amendments.

 

Additionally, a detailed version history log will be maintained, containing information about each revision, including its effective date, a brief description of the changes made, and the corresponding version number.

 

Consent and Acceptance: By continuing to participate in the Affiliate Program after any revisions to the T&Cs, Affiliates implicitly agree to abide by the updated terms. Prior to any modifications taking effect, Affiliates will be duly notified, for example via their email addresses. Affiliates shall have the right to reject the changes and terminate their participation in the Affiliate Program without penalty, provided they communicate their decision within 7 /Seven/ days of receiving the notification.

 

Access to Previous Versions: To ensure transparency and compliance, previous versions of the T&Cs will be archived and made available for review by Affiliates upon request.

 

Affiliates can access previous versions by contacting us at affiliates@vlpartners.com.

 

Continuity of Agreements: Any existing affiliate agreements entered into before an update to the T&Cs will continue to be governed by the version of the T&Cs in effect at the time of their Agreement. Subsequent renewals, extensions, or new agreements will be subject to the latest version of the T&Cs available at the time of entering into the new arrangement.

4.13.2. if both of the above criteria are met (4.14.1) then the negative commissionable revenue generated by the High Roller will be carried forward and offset against future commissionable revenue generated by that High Roller;

 

4.13.3. the negative balance carried forward cannot be set-off against other Customers’ positive commissionable revenue;

 

4.13.4. the negative balance carried forward cannot be greater than the total aggregate negative commissionable revenue for the Affiliate, for that month;

 

4.13.5. if there is more than one High Roller, the negative balance carried forward will be split proportionally between them; and

 

4.13.6. The negative balance of a High Roller will be reduced by future positive commissionable revenue that they generate in subsequent months. However, the full clearing of negative balance is not guaranteed.

 

4.13.7. Progressive wins do not fall into this category as this payout is taken from a progressive funds pool.

5.1 In addition to payments to be made under clause 4 above, where a new affiliate registers for the Affiliate Programme for the first time via the Tracking Links (a “Sub-Affiliate) you will be entitled to a payment equivalent to the percentage notified to you via the Affiliate Programme Site, of any payments made to such Sub-Affiliate under its affiliate agreement with VL Partners.

 

5.2 Sub-Affiliates may not be directly or indirectly owned or controlled by you or your Immediate Family and you shall not be entitled to any payment under this Agreement in relation to such a Sub-Affiliate. Any attempt to circumvent this rule may lead to immediate termination of the Agreement.

 

5.3 In the event that any Affiliate Payment to a Sub-Affiliate is reclaimed under the terms of its agreement with VL Partners or payments are made to you in breach of clause 5.2 above you will promptly repay the amount paid on receiving notice from VL Partners. VL Partners will be entitled, but not obliged, to set-off any amount owed as a result against future payments under this Agreement.

 

5.4 All payments under clause 5 will terminate when payments to the relevant Sub-Affiliate end for whatever reason.

 

5.5 VL Partners may change the level of any payment due under clause 5.2 above in respect of future Sub-Affiliates you refer at any time by giving notice to you.

 

5.6 Payments under clause 5 will be made in accordance with clauses 4.9 to 4.13above.

6.1 VL Partners makes no representation that any of its services, or those provided by any Group Company, will be uninterrupted or error-free and, to the fullest extent permissible by law, it will not be liable for the consequences of any such interruptions or errors. You acknowledge this risk and agree not to hold VL Partners liable for any disruptions or performance issues with our services, nor for any impact such disruptions may have on your Affiliate Payments.

 

6.2 If there is a pending payment due to an Affiliate for a period of one (1) year or more as a result of incorrect payment details, missing invoices, invalid or no-longer-valid payment details and the Affiliate has not responded to all reasonable contact attempts made by the Company, the payment will be cancelled.
