I was considering promoting Paddy Power on my sports betting website so I had a look at their affiliate terms and conditions and its shocking that they are able to get away with these conditions.
The big condition is that they can cancel your affiliate affiliate agreement with 7 days notice without having to give any reason whatsoever.
They can alter the terms of your affiliate agreement any time they wish and you have no recourse.
If someone signs up to the sportsbook through your affiliate link you will not receive earnings from other products such as poker, casino, bingo, ect.
You have to display their most recent banners prominently on your website at all time or they can cancel your affiliate agreement.
If you want to make layout changes to your website you have to seek their permission.
You have to provide them with the passwords to your website so they can monitor your website unrestricted whenever they wish.
You have to agree to give them access to all your financial records relating to your business.
If you promote their signup bonus to your website visitors they can cancel your affiliate agreement if the people you refer don't use their website after the bonus has been redeemed which you have no control over.
If people who are restricted from signing up to their website based on their location come from your website then the affiliate agreement can be cancelled. You can't control who views your website!
If you go one calendar month without referring someone to Paddy Power they can reduce your commission or simply cancel your affiliate agreement.
*I have read elsewhere that their cookies are only for that session meaning that someone has to sign up directly after clicking your affiliate link or you lose that customer. Most competitors use a 30 day cookie.
