Terms and Conditions

Affiliate Program Operating Agreement This Affiliate Program Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between Blacknight and the Affiliate, being an Agreement to submit an application to become a Blacknight affiliate.
The terms and conditions contained in this Agreement apply to the participation with blacknight.club or affiliates.blacknight.com ("Affiliate Program"). 
Each Affiliate Program offer (an "Offer") may be for any offering by Blacknight or a third party (each such third party a "Client") and may link to a specific web site for that particular Offer ("Program Web Site"). Furthermore, each Offer may have additional terms and conditions on pages within the Affiliate Program and are incorporated as part of this Agreement. By submitting an application or participating in an Offer, the Affiliate expressly consent to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
I.	Enrolment in the Affiliate Program: The Affiliate must submit an Affiliate Program application from our website. The Affiliate must accurately complete the application to become an affiliate (and provide us with future updates) and not use any aliases or other means to mask the true identity or contact information. After we review the affiliate application, we will notify the affiliate of the affiliate acceptance or rejection to the Affiliate Program, generally within two (2) business days. We may accept or reject the affiliate application at our sole discretion for any reason, such reasons will not be disclosed.
II.	Acceptance of Agreement: Subject to our acceptance of the affiliate as an affiliate and the affiliate continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Blacknight agrees as follows:
2.1. We will make available to the affiliate via the Affiliate Program graphic and textual links to the Program Web Site and/or other creative materials (collectively, the "Links") which the affiliate may display on web sites owned or controlled by the affiliate, in emails sent by the affiliate and clearly identified as coming from the affiliate and in online advertisements (collectively, "Media"). The Links will serve to identify the affiliate as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from the affiliate Media to the Program Web Site.
III.	Commission:
III.	
A.	We will pay Affiliate ( the "Commission") for each Qualified Action. A "Qualified Action" means an individual person who (i) accesses the Program Web Site via the Link, where the Link is the last link to the Program Web Site, and (ii) is not a computer generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an individual, real live person, and (iii) is not using pre-populated fields and (iv) completes all of the information required for such action within the time period allowed by Blacknight and (v) is not later determined by Blacknight to be fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified or a duplicate.
3.2 We will pay the affiliate any Commissions earned quarterly, provided that the affiliate account is currently greater than €50. Accounts with a balance of less than €50 will roll over to the next quarter, and will continue to roll over quarterly until €50 is reached.
III.	
C.	We reserve the right to charge back to the affiliate account any previously paid Qualified Actions that are later determined to have not met the requirements to be a Qualified Action.
III.	
C.	Payment for Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to Blacknight, and therefore, the affiliate agree that Blacknight shall only be liable to the affiliate for Commissions to the extent that Blacknight has received such funds from the Clients.

4.3. If Affiliate does not dispute the invoice as set forth at 4.2 above, then Affiliate agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims based upon that invoice.
4.4. In the event that Affiliate is also tracking Qualified Actions and Affiliate claims a discrepancy, Affiliate must provide Blacknight with Affiliate's reports within 21 days of the date of the report, and if Blacknight's and Affiliate's reported statistics vary by more than 10% and Blacknight reasonably determines that Affiliate has used generally accepted industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then Blacknight and Affiliate agree to make a good faith effort to arrive at a mutual Agreement in relation to same. If the parties are unable to arrive at a mutual Agreement, then Blacknight's numbers shall govern.
4.5.
