Other Actions Leading to Non-Qualifying Leads or New Customers

GameDaddy and Advertisers may use third-party advertising fraud detection systems and tools to monitor such activities. Publisher is expressly prohibited from using any persons, means, devices or arrangements to commit Fraud.
Any Lead or New Customer rejected by Advertiser irrespective of the cause of such rejection is considered "Non-Qualifying", including, but not limited to when it:
- comes or is generated as a result of Fraud;
- does not comply with any terms of the Offer or has not met the prerequisites set forth in the applicable Offer (e.g. leads or customers not from the targeted location, users that are of a younger age as determined by Advertiser, KPIs have not been met etc.); or
- is related to terminated, closed or expired Offer.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Lead or New Customer is also considered "Non-Qualifying" when it:
- does not comply with other provisions of this Agreement or any applicable laws;
- comes or is generated as a result of Publisher's breach of this Agreement, or
- occurs when Publisher is in breach of this Agreement or any applicable laws.
GameDaddy shall have no obligation to pay for Non-Qualifying Leads or New Customers.

Advertiser or GameDaddy shall make all determinations about Non-Qualifying activity in their sole discretion. In the event that Advertiser or GameDaddy determines that Publisher has delivered Non-Qualifying Leads or New Customers, or traffic that Advertiser or
GameDaddy reasonably determines violates any term of the applicable Offer and/or this Agreement, or Advertiser or GameDaddy received any complaints about Publisher's participation in Advertising Program which Advertiser or GameDaddy reasonably believes to violate this Agreement, GameDaddy may, at GameDaddy' option:
- terminate Publisher's Account and terminate this Agreement,
- require Publisher to immediately cease using Creatives, Tracking URLs and displaying Ads, and/or
- withhold all unpaid amounts or charge back Publisher's accounts.
Advertiser and/or GameDaddy retains the right to review all Publisher's campaigns and actions, as well as Leads or New Customers for possible Fraud or other noncompliance, whether such Fraud or noncompliance is on the part of users or on Publisher's part. In any period of time during which such reviews are performed GameDaddy shall have the right to withhold any payment accrued in Publisher's favor until such time as the review has been concluded. In the event that Advertiser or GameDaddy deems that Fraud or other noncompliance has occurred, Publisher shall not be entitled to receive any payments which have accrued to Publisher's benefit as a result of such Fraud or other noncompliance.
GameDaddy Referral Program
Referring Publisher may refer Referred Publisher by providing a reference link that contains Referring Publisher's reference ID to Referred Publisher in order to register with the Advertising Program.
Referring Publisher will receive its reference ID after it has been approved by GameDaddy as such.
Once Referred Publisher is approved by us and registered with the Advertising Program, and provided that Referring Publisher remains eligible to receive Remuneration pursuant to this Agreement, Referring Publisher will receive Remuneration as to the particular Referred Publisher at the rate of 2% of the net revenue brought by this Referred Publisher to GameDaddy in the applicable month net of any payments made to Advertisers, discounts, taxes payable or refunds, for as long as (i) this Agreement is not terminated with the Referring Publisher and/or with the Referred Publisher, or (ii) the Referred Publisher conforms to all criteria specified in the subsection 'Referred Publisher' of Section 1 of the Agreement.
If at any time the net revenue received from the Referred Publisher's is charged back or refunded, Referring Publisher will become ineligible to receive Remuneration on any future net revenue collected from that Referred Publisher.
Remuneration is only earned on actually received net revenue.
Remuneration will only be paid if the Referred Publisher is tracked by GameDaddy systems and is attributed to the Referring Publisher through the reference link. No Remuneration will be paid if the referral cannot be tracked by GameDaddy systems.
Remuneration earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable referrals or marketing methods, or otherwise in violation of this Agreement (including but not limited to the provisions of Sections 4-6), will be voided.
In case of revealed GameDaddy Referral Program abuse (including, but not limited to: creating multiple accounts by one person or entity within Revlab and connecting such accounts with a reference ID), any Remuneration will be voided.
Publisher's Statistics

Payments
Payment Terms and Payment Calculation
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, GameDaddy will pay Publisher Remuneration for (i) Leads and/or New Customers in accordance with the Remuneration model and the applicable Offer, and (ii) or Referred Publishers.

The aforesaid information is based on information received from Advertisers and any calculation thereof is made in accordance thereto, at GameDaddy's sole and final discretion, and shall not be open to review or appeal.

- the turnover generated from Leads and New Customers may be subject to "Negative Carryover" provisions, deductions, deferred payments and other provisions which may affect the Remuneration (its payment to Publisher may be withheld to reflect or adjusted to exclude any refunded or credited amounts, in particular, any claims, demands, offsets, card chargebacks, etc. and any amounts arising from restricted, invalid, fraudulent and other or Non-Qualifying activity, as determined in this Agreement and the applicable Offer);
- GameDaddy will only pay for Leads and New Customers tracked by its tracking system and associated with Publisher's Tracking URL. No payment will be made if a Lead or New Customer cannot be tracked by GameDaddy' systems.
- Advertisers may change any payout rate or cancel the Offer, in whole or in part, at their sole discretion, which may lead to the withholding or adjustments of Remuneration payments;
- GameDaddy collects its payments from Advertiser, and it is not responsible for any delay of Remuneration payments to Publisher if such delay is caused by any delay of payment by Advertiser;
- for the same reason, GameDaddy will make payments of Remuneration to Publishers out of funds actually collected by GameDaddy from Advertiser who initiated the relevant Offer; GameDaddy shall have no payment obligation to Publisher where Advertiser has not remitted sufficient payments to cover the amounts otherwise due to Publisher; and Publisher's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the right to pursue any and all legal remedies directly against any Advertiser that has not made funds available to pay monies due to Publisher for Leads or New Customers in connection with the applicable Offer;
- if any Advertiser whose Offer has been executed by Publisher defaults on payment to GameDaddy, and GameDaddy has paid Remuneration related to such Offer, GameDaddy
may withhold any further payment for equal amount or charge back Publisher's accounts; and

Calculation of the Remuneration may be postponed for up to 90 days due to, including but not limited to, the following circumstances:
Advertiser is verifying a Lead, New Customer or Referred Publisher, including for Fraud (Section 6); or
The applicable terms of the Offer necessitate such a postponement.
In addition to GameDaddy's other rights and remedies, GameDaddy may:

- require Publisher to refund GameDaddy within thirty (30) days of a notice, any amounts GameDaddy may have overpaid to Publisher in prior periods (including amounts refunded or credited to Advertisers).

Money Transfers
Remuneration is calculated at the end of each month and payments shall be made on a monthly basis in arrears, not later than in 45 days following the end of the calendar month, provided that the amount due exceeds US$1,000 for the bank wire payments and US$100 for all other payment methods made available at GameDaddy' sole discretion.
No payments will be made to Publisher unless all payment details are completed in Publisher's Account with GameDaddy (e.g. for wire transfers - beneficiary name, beneficiary address, account number, bank name, bank address and SWIFT). Publisher will be solely responsible for accuracy, completeness and relevance of its contact and payment details in
Publisher's Account with GameDaddy. GameDaddy will not be liable for delay or non-receipt of the payment in case Publisher provides GameDaddy with incorrect or incomplete payment details, and GameDaddy will not reimburse Publisher for these payments.
Publisher will be liable for all expenses caused by incorrect or incomplete payment details, including, but not limited to returned payments, correction of payment details, payment rerouting and payment investigations. Publisher may apply an extra fee for correction of payment details, payment rerouting and payment investigations.
Unless expressly agreed by GameDaddy, Publisher may not enter into any type of arrangement with a third party where that third party receives payments made to Publisher by GameDaddy.
Publisher agrees that it will be responsible for any charges and fees corresponding to the payment to Publisher made by GameDaddy, applied by the GameDaddy's bank or payment provider, by any intermediaries, and by the Publisher's bank or payment provider. For example, the payment to Publisher made via bank transfer will be reduced by GameDaddy's bank fees for outgoing wires, by the charges of any intermediary banks (if applicable), and the Publishers bank's fees for incoming wire (if applicable). The same applies to other payments methods.
