Andy, I think the T&Cs of Simon Says have been changed considerably since your evaluation. One part of the Terms of Use, the section 11.A.1 Commission Schedule is missing altogether, so the document is actually not valid, especially since there are many references to 'Commission Schedule'. I could not also find anything about the sections 'Negative Carryover', 'Minimum Payment' and 'Payment Date' in the current T&C.

I don't believe they have, actually, but will take a look as soon as I get my servers updated. The information above is a mix of both Terms and Conditions and Commissions/FAQ pages. I will have the server(s) running in a short while and will cross-check all databases (which should be identical, but I will run a verification of that).

Once the evaluation is run against the timestamped T&Cs, I will have a definite answer for you. All terms are collected on a daily basis, so the evaluation will take some time to verify all information.

Thanks for the tip!

ok, I ran the verification program manually. Sorry it took so long, but there is A LOT of data in our system and I am running both a binary and a contextual compare to ensure that nothing is missed.

The terms are 100% exactly the same as when this terms review came out. You can verify yourself by viewing the wayback machine at:

Simon Says Online Casino Affiliates Terms and Conditions

You can see that, at the beginning of January 2008, the terms did not have 11.A.1 like the topmost index shows.

You can bet, though, that we have been monitoring their commissions page as well. You can see all the pages of the various programs we are monitoring at:

When I sign up I have to say "I have read and agree to the Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions". And in this document, the section "11.A.1 Commission Schedule", which is there at the top in the content list and which is referred to time and again in many sections, is not there! I just checked it again.

How can I agree to a document where a significant part is missing?

I understand your problems with that. Most programs do not have their commissions structure within their T&C's, but I agree that they shouldn't 'point to' a place that doesn't exist in the terms contract.

I will send a note to Simon Says Affiliates to update this portion of their terms to either include commissions or remove the index pointer.
