MARKETING PARTNER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.  THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN SPORTS INFORMATION GROUP, LLC (“SIG” OR “WE”) AND YOU AS A MARKETING PARTNER OF SIG (“MARKETING PARTNER” OR “YOU”).  EACH OF SIG AND MARKETING PARTNER IS A “PARTY” AND COLLECTIVELY THE “PARTIES.”  THESE MARKETING PARTNER TERMS AND CONDITIONS, TOGETHER WITH ALL ORDERS, ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND SIG RULES AND POLICIES REFERRED TO HEREIN, CONSTITUTE THE “AGREEMENT” BETWEEN MARKETING PARTNER AND SIG REGARDING THE PARTIES’ MARKETING AND PROMOTION RELATIONSHIP IN CONNECTION WITH SIG’S SERVICES DESCRIBED BELOW.  THE INDIVIDUAL THAT ACCEPTS THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT ON MARKETING PARTNER’S BEHALF AND TO BIND MARKETING PARTNER TO THIS AGREEMENT.

  1. Orders and Scope.  The Parties intend under this Agreement to enter into one or more orders (each, an “Order”) under which Marketing Partner will market and promote the SIG Service(s) offered at the SIG Site(s) on the Marketing Partner Site(s) throughout the Term for the Compensation, all as provided in and subject to the additional terms and conditions of each applicable Order (“Promotions”).    
  2. Conduct of Promotions.
    • (a) Generally.  Marketing Partner shall ensure, in good faith, that marketing efforts accurately depict the SIG Service(s) and shall promptly correct any inaccuracies when notice is provided by SIG.  All Promotions are subject to prior written approval from SIG.
    • (b) Marketing Partner Links.  SIG will provide Marketing Partner with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to SIG Site(s), subject to the terms of Section 3, below.  To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and accrual of Compensation, SIG will provide Marketing Partner with special “tagged” link formats to be used in all links between the Marketing Partner Site(s) and the SIG Site(s).  Marketing Partner must ensure that each link between the Marketing Partner Site(s) and the SIG Site(s) properly utilizes such formats.  Links to the SIG Service(s) placed on the Marketing Partner Site(s) pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Marketing Partner Links.”  Marketing Partner will earn Compensation only with respect to activity on the SIG Service(s) occurring directly through Marketing Partner Links as provided herein; SIG will not be liable to Marketing Partner with respect to any failure by Marketing Partner to use Marketing Partner Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to Marketing Partner pursuant to this Agreement.
    • (c) Marketing Partner Information.  Marketing Partner acknowledges that, by participating in the Promotions, SIG may receive information from or about visitors to the Marketing Partner Site(s) or communications between Marketing Partner and those visitors (“Marketing Partner Information”).  Marketing Partner’s participation in the Promotions constitutes Marketing Partner’s specific and unconditional consent to, and authorization for, SIG’s access to, receipt, storage, use, and disclosure of Marketing Partner Information as contemplated by this Agreement.
    • (d) Monitoring.  Marketing Partner shall implement on the Marketing Partner Site(s) a pixel, tag, link, or other technology as designated by SIG for the purpose of monitoring traffic from the Marketing Partner Site(s) to the SIG Site(s).  Marketing Partner acknowledges and agrees that SIG may use such technology and crawl or otherwise monitor the Marketing Partner Site(s) for the purpose of ensuring the quality and reliability of Marketing Partner Links on Marketing Partner Site(s) (for example, to detect links that are broken or non-functional, links to items that are unavailable, etc.). Therefore, Marketing Partner agrees that SIG may take such actions and that Marketing Partner will not seek to block or otherwise interfere with such crawling or monitoring (and that SIG may use technical means to overcome any methods used on the Marketing Partner Site(s) to block or interfere with such crawling or monitoring).
    • (e) Use of SIG Content.  Marketing Partner agrees that Marketing Partner will: (i) use any data, graphics, images, text, or other information obtained by Marketing Partner from SIG or the SIG Sites in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation, the specific artwork and other creative assets to be used by Marketing Partner in connection with the Promotions (collectively, “Content”) only in a lawful manner and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) not modify or alter any Content, other than to resize any Content that consists solely of a graphic image; (iii) not sell, redistribute, sublicense or transfer any Content; (iv) not use any Content in a manner intended to send sales to any site other than the SIG Site(s); and (v) promptly delete any Content that is no longer displayed on the SIG Site(s) or that SIG notifies Marketing Partner is no longer available for Marketing Partner’s use.
    • (f) Prohibited Activities. Marketing Partner may not under any circumstance: (i) except as described in this Agreement or if permission is provided by SIG in writing, directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using Marketing Partner’s advertisements to access the SIG Service(s) (e.g., by implementing any “rewards” program for persons or entities who use Marketing Partner’s advertisements to access the SIG Service(s)); (ii) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to SIG by any person or entity; (iii) in any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other interactive feature of the SIG Service(s) or the SIG Site(s); (iv) make any orders or subscription requests, or engage in other transactions of any kind with respect to the SIG Service(s) or on the SIG Site(s) on behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so; (v) take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to SIG’s relationship with Marketing Partner, or as to the site on which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are occurring; (vi) post or serve any advertisements or promotional content around or in conjunction with the display of the SIG Service(s) or Content (e.g., through any “framing” technique or technology or pop-up windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take any such action; (vii) attempt to circumvent monitoring and validation of earned Compensation or artificially increase Compensation due to Marketing Partner; (viii) attempt to intercept or re-direct (including, without limitation, via user-installed software) traffic from or on, or divert referral fees from, any web site that participates in the SIG marketing partner program; (ix) work with, in any capacity, a website dedicated to promoting coupon codes, promotional codes, discount codes, bonus codes, or the like, where any such codes relate to SIG or the SIG Site(s) (including promotion of codes distributed to Marketing Partner by SIG); (x) optimize for search results including any individual or combination of the terms: “bonus,” “promo code,” “coupon code,” and any similar terms and their variations (including using the aforementioned terms and variations in URL names, webpage and article titles, backlinks, and meta-descriptions) beyond any optimization currently in place by Marketing Partner as of the Effective Date; (xi) promote the SIG Site(s) by placing Marketing Partner Links on self-help or problem gambling advice websites; (xii) place the Marketing Partner Links on any part of the Marketing Partner Site(s) which may be aimed at individuals who are under 21 years of age, at individuals who have self-excluded or are reviewing information about support for gambling problems or are otherwise ineligible to register for or use the SIG Service(s), provided, however, the foregoing shall not require Marketing Partner to impose geographic restrictions on those parts of the Marketing Partner Site(s) that contain Marketing Partner Links; and (xiii) promote illegal activities, including, but not limited to, illegal offshore gambling websites.  If SIG determines, in SIG’s sole discretion, that Marketing Partner has engaged in any of the foregoing activities, SIG may (without limiting any other rights or remedies available to SIG) withhold any Compensation otherwise payable to Marketing Partner under this Agreement, and/or terminate this Agreement without further liability or financial obligation to Marketing Partner.

  20. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings relating to their subject matter.  No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by Marketing Partner will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document relating to this Agreement shall be for administrative purposes only and shall have no legal effect.

New User Bounties: $250 (DRF Sports)/ $75 (DRF Bets) for each New User, where a “New User” is an SIG-verified unique individual, who is 21 years of age or older and not otherwise excluded or prohibited from participating in gaming-related activities through the SIG Service(s)/on the SIG Site(s), and that register via Market Partner Links for the SIG Service(s)/SIG Site(s) and who deposit a minimum of $1 USD into their SIG account and who place at least one real money wager that completes settlement on the SIG Sports Site(s) within 30 days of registration via the Market Partners Link.  Any individual that has previously registered for the SIG Service(s), or for a SIG account, as determined by SIG in its sole discretion, and who registers again using the same email address and/or new payment information is not a New User.  New Users will not include users that register for the SIG Service(s) through the Marketing Partner Links: (a) who are employees of Marketing Partner or their immediate family members (e.g., spouse, parents, siblings, or children), or individuals who live in the same household as such employees, or (b) for resale or commercial use of any kind.  SIG reserves the right to immediately terminate these accounts without notice and/or withhold payment of any prizes or winnings garnered by such users without liability to Marketing Partner or such users. Marketing Partner shall inform its current employees and any new employees of these restrictions.
    2. SIG’s obligation to pay New User Bounties due to Marketing Partner’s efforts during the Term of this Order shall survive any expiration or termination of this Order.

Payment Terms: SIG will remit payment for undisputed Compensation to an online cashier account (the “Cashier”) within thirty (30) days following the end of the month in which they were earned. Marketing Partner will be permitted to withdraw funds from the Cashier via bank transfer if the total funds available within the Cashier are equal to, or exceed, $50 USD.
