Casino8Online
By agreeing to participate in
this referral program, you are agreeing to create a unique link from
your site to Casino8Online. You may link to us with one of our
banners/icons or with a text
link. This is the only method by which you may advertise on our behalf.
We will terminate this agreement immediately if there is any form of
spamming or if you advertise our casino in any other way. You shall not
make any claims, representations, or warranties in connection with us
and you shall have no authority to, and shall not, bind us to any
obligations.
2.2 Agency Appointment
By this Agreement, we grant you
the non-exclusive right to direct customers to our site and services, in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This
Agreement does not grant you an exclusive right or privilege to assist
us in the provision of services arising from your referrals, and we
obviously intend to contract with and obtain the assistance from others
at any time to perform services of the same or similar nature as yours.
You shall have no claims to referral fees or other compensation on
business secured by or through persons or entities other than you.
2.3 Approved Layouts
Without our prior written
approval, you will only use our approved banners and icons and will not
alter their appearance nor refer to us or CryptoLogic in any promotional
materials. 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. You may only use an Casino8Online
banner or icon that has been uploaded to your server. DO NOT DIRECTLY
LINK TO THE BANNERS ON OUR WEBSITE. IF YOU DO THIS WE WILL NOT PAY YOU
ANY REFERRAL FEES.
2.4 Good Faith
You will not knowingly benefit
from known or suspected traffic not generated in good faith whether or
not it actually causes us damage. We reserve the right to retain all
amounts due to you under this Agreement if we have reasonable cause to
believe that such traffic has been caused with your knowledge. Even if
you have not knowingly generated such traffic, we reserve the right to
withhold referral fees with respect to such traffic.
2.5 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.

between CryptoLogic's E-Cash software and the gaming software or between
CryptoLogic's E-Cash software and your site.

Marks
We hereby grant to you a
non-exclusive, non-transferable license, during the term of this
Agreement, to use the Casino8Online 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.

Information
During the term of this
Agreement, you may be entrusted with
Confidential Information relating to the business, operations, or
underlying technology of Casino8Online and/or the referral program
(including, for example, referral fees earned by you under the program).
You agree to avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of the Confidential
Information to third persons or outside parties unless you have our
prior written consent and that you will use the Confidential Information
only for purposes necessary to further the purposes of this Agreement.

You will earn referral fees based on the Net Win (net customer losses

each month, by credit to your e-cash account of any fees earned by you
in the previous month. All payments will be due and paid in United

customer winnings have exceeded customer losses) the negative position
will be carried over into the following month(s). Referral fees will be
based upon our good faith calculation based on our statistics.
