from the Partner Site.

5.3 SureWin shall be entitled to exercise any of its rights or fulfil any of its obligations hereunder (including without limitation its payment obligations pursuant to clause 6) through any company within SureWin’ Group (as defined below).

6. Payment

6.1 SureWin shall provide you with statements accessible through the website at “http://www.tipsterplatforms.co.uk/affiliates.php” detailing the number of Customers and your share of revenue, if any, which have accrued to you over the course of the calendar month. Such statements shall be updated daily. At the end of a calendar month SureWin shall record your total share of revenues, if any, during the previous calendar month (“Revenue Share”). In the event that a Revenue Share in any calendar month is a negative amount, SureWin shall be entitled but not obliged to carry forward and set off such negative amount against future Revenue Shares which would otherwise be payable to you. However SureWin shall also be entitled but not obliged to zero the negative balance that would otherwise be carried forward. If a Revenue Share does not exceed £50, SureWin shall be entitled to withhold and carry forward such sum until the end of the first calendar month in which the Revenue Share (including such carried forward sum) exceeds £50, at which time payment shall be made in accordance with clause

6.2.

For the avoidance of doubt, you will only receive a payout when there is a positive balance and it is greater than £50 in any given month.

6.2 Subject to clause 6.1, at the end of a calendar month, you may raise an invoice for the relevant Revenue Share payable by SureWin to you, which shall be paid within 28 days of receipt by SureWin of such invoice. However, raising an invoice is not a requirement by you as the relevant Revenue Share payable by SureWin to you shall be automatically raised and paid out (in accordance with clause 6.5) within 28 days of the end of the relevant calendar month. Such Revenue share shall be paid in pounds sterling, inclusive of VAT if applicable.

6.3 If an error is made in the calculation of your share of the Revenue Share, SureWin reserves the right to correct such calculation at any time and to reclaim from you any overpayment made by SureWin to you (including, without limitation, by way of reducing future payments which might otherwise be due to you from us from time to time).

6.4 All payments shall be made inclusive of VAT, if applicable.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 SureWin grants you a non-exclusive and worldwide licence to display the SureWin brand features and related content (the “SureWin Content”) during the Term solely for the purposes of the display of the Links by you on the Partner Site as set out in this Agreement and in accordance with SureWin’ guidelines as may be provided to you from time to time. All intellectual property rights and any goodwill arising in the Links and in all betting products, associated systems and software relating to the services provided by SureWin to its customers from time to time shall remain the property of SureWin. You are not permitted to use the SureWin Content in any way that is detrimental to SureWin or the reputation or goodwill of SureWin. You are not permitted to alter or modify in any way the SureWin Content without the express prior written consent of SureWin.

Problem Gambling. If you are concerned that gambling may have

taken over your (or someone else’s life) then the following questions may help you find out:

Do you stay away from work, college or school to gamble?

Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?

When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair and need to gamble again as soon as possible?

Do you gamble until your last penny is gone, even the fare home or the cost of a cup of tea?

Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?

Have others ever criticised your gambling?

Have you lost interest in your family, friends or hobbies?

After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?

Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?

Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?

The more you answer ‘yes’ to these questions, the more likely you are to have a serious gambling problem. To speak to someone about this contact the GamCare confidential helpline on 0845 6000 133 or visit their website at http://www.gamcare.org.uk for further information
