​

All references to “you” and/or “the Publisher” refers to the entity named as such on the form (“Publisher Application Form”) submitted by the Publisher to the Company when applying for participation in an Affiliate Program (as defined in clause 1.2 below).

 

1 Description of the service

1.1 The Publisher is the operator of the website stipulated on the Publisher Application Form (“Website”).

1.2 The Company provides a service (“Service”) in terms of which third parties (“Advertisers”) can set up a marketing and sales partnership program in its own name on the Company’s website (“Affiliate Program”) which allows the Publisher to place a link on the Website on which any person (“Unique Visitor”) may click to be directed to a website of the Advertiser (“Linked Websites”) and thereby is directly connected to the Linked Website (“Click”). Once on the Linked Website, the Unique Visitor may complete a definite act, for example, register as a user, (“Lead”) or conclude an agreement to buy a product, service or anything else supplied on the Linked Website (“Transaction”). The Affiliate Program remains at all times operated on a website owned by the Company.

1.3 As part of the Service, the Company shall monitor and register valid Clicks, Leads and Transactions (“Traffic”) generated by the Website to Linked Websites, report thereon to the Advertisers concerned, and collect payment from the Advertisers of a fee in respect thereof (“Service Fee”) as part of the Affiliate Program.

1.4 The Company pays part of the Service Fee to the Publisher. Conditions of remuneration for each Affiliate Program are published on the Company’s website and are updated from time to time. It is your responsibility to check the Company’s website for changes to the conditions of remuneration for each Affiliate Program.

1.5 The Company will NOT under any circumstances offer the Service to any Advertiser of pornographic material or gambling activity or illegal activity. No materials from or link to such Advertiser may be placed on the Website or the Company’s website pursuant to the Service.

​

2 Participation in service

2.1 In order to use the Service (and allow the placing of links on the Website to one or more Linked Websites), you must make an application to become an “authorised” Publisher of the Company by completing the Publisher Application Form and accept these terms and conditions by clicking on the box below labelled “I accept”. Once the Publisher has done so, a legally-binding agreement between the Publisher and the Company (“Agreement”) comes into being, which governs the participation of the Publisher in the Service. The Publisher will be informed via email once the Publisher has been accepted as an “authorised” Publisher, after which the Publisher may use the username and password submitted on the Publisher Application Form, to communicate on the Company’s website.

2.2 Once you have been accepted as an “authorised” Publisher of the Company, you must indicate the Affiliate Program(s) in which you wish to participate, and make an application to be an “approved” Publisher. The Publisher will be informed via email once accepted as an “approved” Publisher, whereafter the Publisher is entitled to participate in the Service and thus place links on the Website to the Linked Websites.

2.3 The Company reserves the right to modify, amend or change the Service on 30 days’ notice per email to the Publisher. If the Publisher does not accept the changes, the Publisher will be deemed to have terminated the Agreement and the Service will cease.

​

3 The publisher’s obligations

3.1 The Publisher must comply with the requirements of the Affiliate Program, including in particular any stipulations as to the nature and content of the Website and the use of third party or other “Intellectual Property Rights”, meaning rights in patents, registered designs, design rights, trademarks, copyright, database rights, moral rights, topography rights, trade and business names including the benefit of all registrations and applications to register any of the aforesaid, as well as rights to trade secrets, know-how and other technical information, and all similar or equivalent rights, wheresoever arising in the world.

3.2 Information about the Affiliate Programs will be available on the Company’s website. The Publisher must check this information regularly, in particular, to establish if an Advertiser has terminated its Affiliate Program or changed its conditions.

3.3 The Publisher is solely responsible for the Website and its contents and shall ensure that it conforms at all times to all applicable laws and regulations.

3.4 The Publisher warrants that the information furnished to the Company about itself and the Website in the Publisher Application Form is true and accurate. The Publisher must notify the Company immediately of any changes in the information by updating such information on the Company’s website.

3.5 The Publisher warrants either that the rights to all information and content on the Website belong to the Publisher or that the owner of the rights to the information and content on the Website has given explicit permission to their publication there. The Publisher also warrants that the information and content on the Website do not infringe any rights of third parties, including Intellectual Property Rights, and that such information and content is not offensive, prohibited or questionable in any way.

3.6 The Publisher must not in any way generate or contribute to generating Artificial Traffic to Linked Websites. “Artificial Traffic” means invalid Clicks, Leads and Transactions, which may originate (for example and without limitation) from automatic openings, spiders, robots, requests in e-mail or chat rooms, script generators, placing links on other websites than informed, Clicks which are not generated by a browser, and Clicks which are not preceded by an active act of a Unique Visitor who wants to reach a certain website.

3.7 The Publisher must notify the Company immediately of any known or suspected improper or wrongful use of the Publisher’s links to Linked Websites and/or of the Service in any way whatsoever.

 

4 Remuneration

4.1 The Company collects payment from the Advertiser for the Service as per its agreement with the Advertiser. From such payment, it shall pay to the Publisher the commission for the accompanying Affiliate Program for which the Publisher has been accepted as an “approved” Publisher. Conditions of remuneration for each Affiliate Program are published on the Company’s website and are updated from time to time. It is the responsibility of the Publisher to check the Company’s website for changes to the conditions of remuneration for each Affiliate Program. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have NO obligation to make any payment to the Publisher unless and until the Company has received the relevant Service Fee from the Advertiser.

4.2 The Company shall prepare an invoice on behalf of the Publisher at the end of each month, in respect of the Traffic generated up to the end of two months prior to the month of invoice. The Company shall indicate on the invoice the amount of value-added tax (“VAT”), if any, required to be levied as per the Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991 (as may be amended from time to time). The remuneration rates displayed on the Company’s website are exclusive of VAT, which is added separately.

4.3 The Company shall make payment of the invoices to the Publisher monthly in arrears, provided that the Company has received payment from each Advertiser and subject to clause 4.4.

​

4.4 Payment will only be made if the Publisher is due an amount of at least R1000 (one thousand rands). This figure may change from time to time as agreed with you. An amount due of less than the aforesaid amount will be accumulated to the next payment and will be included in the amount to be paid out at the next payment date, again provided that the minimum amount is due. Accumulated amounts do not accrue any interest.

4.5 Payment to the Publisher will be made direct to the Publisher’s bank account. The Publisher must specify on the Company’s website the details of its bank account (including name and branch of the bank, branch code and the Publisher’s account number).
