GoldenStar Network Terms and Conditions - Under Review

[Guard Dog]

During the evaluation of GoldenStar Network's Terms and Conditions, there were a few stand out issues that we had with the program:

----------- Terms considered Unfavorable to most affiliates ----------

1. Negative Carryover - Most affiliates tend NOT to want to work with programs utilizing negative carryover rules.

2. Minimum Player Rule - Should an Affiliate not refer a minimum of 1 (one) New Real Purchasing Player for a consecutive 2 month period, the affiliates ‘Player Referral Commission’ will revert back to our base commission percentage of 25%. Should an Affiliate not refer a minimum of 1 (one) New Real Purchasing Player for a consecutive 4 month period, the affiliates ‘Player Referral Commission’ will be reduced to half of our base commission percentage, namely a percentage of 12.5%. The Affiliates account will not be terminated under these circumstances and the Affiliate will continue to be paid a commission, albeit at a lower rate, for the Life Time of such players.

Goldenstar has been in contact with us several times and is showing that they are interested in affiliate relations.

We hope that future dialogs will involve changes with their Terms, but will keep everyone updated as news progresses.

Thank You.

We have been in discussions with Pierre from Goldenstar Networks and are actively looking into the changes made to the Terms and Condtions. Since the new T&C's are a complete re-write to the old terms, we have to do another full evalution.
