Scope of these Terms of Use

These Skrill (Moneybookers) Affiliate Terms and Conditions apply to the Skrill (Moneybookers) Affiliate Programme. You (hereinafter “the Partner”) shall only become a participant in the Skrill (Moneybookers) Affiliate Programme after approval by Skrill (Moneybookers).

1. Rights and obligations
   1. Skrill (Moneybookers) and Partner will co-operate in good faith to launch campaigns (each a “Campaign”) through the Partner or the Partner’s network of affiliates that aim at new end users (each a “Referred User”) signing up for a new Skrill (Moneybookers) end user account.
   2. Each new Campaign needs Skrill (Moneybookers)’ prior written approval before being communicated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all designs, texts and other creative materials used in connection with a Campaign shall be subject to Skrill (Moneybookers)’ prior review and approval. The Partner and any Affiliate shall be obliged to follow Skrill (Moneybookers)’ reasonable instructions in relation to any material in which Skrill (Moneybookers)’ or any of Skrill (Moneybookers)’ licensors has any intellectual property rights.
2. Licences
   1. For the duration and strictly for the purposes of this Agreement, Skrill (Moneybookers) hereby grants to the Partner a non-transferrable, licence to use, copy and distribute the Skrill (Moneybookers) logos, trade names, trademarks and other material (the “Proprietary Material”) strictly as provided to the Partner and approved by Skrill (Moneybookers) for this purpose. The Partner shall not make any modifications to such material or its intended use without Skrill (Moneybookers) prior consent.
   2. The Partner shall at all times follow Skrill (Moneybookers) reasonable instructions in relation to the use or non-use of any Proprietary Material. Any use of the Proprietary Material shall be subject to Skrill (Moneybookers)’ prior approval.
   3. The Partner shall indemnify Skrill (Moneybookers) against any and all third party claims for the infringement of intellectual property or unfair competition or trade practices or on similar grounds if the Partner breaches any of its obligations under this clause.
3. Digital Wallet
   1. As a precondition to participating in any Campaign, the Partner must have a Skrill (Moneybookers) Digital Wallet. The Partner will have to accept additional Account Terms of Use that govern the relationship between Skrill (Moneybookers) and the Partner with regards to this account. In case of any discrepancy between the Account Terms of Use and these Skrill (Moneybookers) Affiliate Terms and Conditions, the former will prevail.
4. Commission
   1. The Partner shall receive a commission based on the following provisions.
   2. The commission shall be calculated as a percentage of Eligible Fee Revenue. Eligible Fee Revenue shall comprise of the fee revenue generated by Referred users when
      1. transferring funds to merchants for which Skrill (Moneybookers) charges the merchant a receive money fee; or
      2. sending funds to other Skrill (Moneybookers) account holders for which Skrill (Moneybookers) charges the Referred User a send money fee; and shall be reduced by the amount of any
      3. chargeback or reversal costs incurred in connection with a transaction made by a Referred User (regardless of whether or not the merchant ultimately bears such costs); and
      4. negative account balances incurred by any Referred User.
   3. The commission shall be 20% of the Eligible Fee Revenue but shall be capped at a maximum of 0.6% of the transaction value of the underlying transaction generating Eligible Fee Revenue. Skrill (Moneybookers) reserves the right to change the applicable commission rate or its percentage cap or total cap upon giving the Partner two weeks’ notice sent to the Partner’s registered email.
   4. Commission shall accrue and become due daily.
   5. The commission shall be inclusive of VAT, if applicable, or other applicable sales or service tax. If the Partner runs a business that is subject to VAT or a similar sales or service tax, then upon Skrill (Moneybookers) request, the Partner shall issue to Skrill (Moneybookers), in a form and at intervals to be agreed between the parties from time to time, a VAT invoice recognised by the relevant tax authority for the purpose of reclaiming the VAT paid on the commission. The term “VAT” shall mean Value Added Tax or any equivalent sales tax in any relevant jurisdiction. The parties shall co-operate in good faith to give effect to an efficient tax treatment of the supplies and the payments of consideration contemplated hereunder.
   6. Referred Users shall cease to be Referred Users and shall therefore cease to be counted in the calculation of the commission payable once the commission (inclusive of VAT or other applicable sales or service tax) paid in respect of a Referred User equals or exceeds 1,000 EUR.
   7. Commission is paid out to the Partner to its registered Skrill (Moneybookers) Account.
5. Limitation of liability
   1. Neither party shall be liable in contract, tort or otherwise for any indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind including punitive or exemplary damages or for any loss of profit or loss of contract, loss of goodwill or reputation, loss of opportunity, loss of revenue or third party loss regardless of whether or not the same was foreseeable or had been brought any party’s attention.
   2. Subject to clause, the aggregate liability of each party in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited to the lower of (a) the commission paid to the Partner in the last 12 month period or (b) EUR 10,000.
   3. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to exclude or restrict a party’s liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or death or personal injury due to negligence.
