Referral Commission in respect of said Betsson Euro Tables is subject to separate calculations as may be agreed by the Parties by means of an addendum to this Agreement.

6.7. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all rights and obligations of each Party under this Agreement will cease upon the termination of this Agreement. This shall not prejudice any right accrued to a Party before such termination.


Summary:This new contract by Affiliate Lounge is complete garbage and is only serving to show affiliates exactly how unscrupulous and immoral they can be by breaching their own written contract. Unless they put ‘Effective Dates’ and make this term non-retroactive, they will be considered a Rogue Affiliate Program.
