In the case of pay-per-sale affiliate programs with percentage-based remuneration, payment is calculated based on the net sale price of the good or service, not including extra costs and any applicable tax.</p> <p>8. Payment methods</p> <p>8.1. For the purposes of payments in the context of all Bigpoint Affiliate Programs made in accordance with clause 6 and for the purposes of all publisher accounts, Bigpoint ensures the publisher access to the Bigpoint Online Reporting System via an affiliate interface thanks to which the publisher can verify their own monthly payment.</p> <p>8.2. Publisher payment occurs 51 days after the end of the billing period (biling period = one calendar month). For example, the publisher’s payment for the May 2009 billing period is deposited on July 21, 2009.

Should the generation of a click, lead or sale have occurred as a result of manipulation or fraud, or in some other way constitute an infringement of the conditions of the Bigpoint Affiliate Program or of these Terms & Conditions, or should for any other reason a valid click, lead or sale be found invalid according to these Terms & Conditions, Bigpoint has the right to retrieve the payment (or request that the payment be reimbursed) within a 12-week period. Bigpoint also reserves the right to demand the reimbursement of a payment should they be able to prove that no valid click, lead or sale, and therefore no right to remuneration, existed.</p> <p>9. Contract duration/Contract termination</p> <p>9.1. The publisher account for the Bigpoint Affililate Program is provided for an indefinite period.</p> <p>9.2. The contract regulating the provision of services for the support of Bigpoint through the online promotion and sale of goods and services on a commission basis concluded between Bigpoint and the publisher is valid for one calendar week following contract conclusion, but automatically becomes invalid upon termination of the Bigpoint Affiliate Program. It is automatically extended by one additional week, (but not beyond the duration of the Bigpoint Affiliate Program), if the publisher does not properly cancel the contract in writing. Termination occurs 10 days after written cancellation has been received.</p> <p>9.3. Cancellation must be made in writing. Bigpoint, however, may also definitively cancel the contract by closing the publisher account.</p> <p>10. Publisher account closure</p> <p>10.1. Bigpoint has the right to close the publisher account and inform the publisher of the closure if the publisher does not actively take part in the Bigpoint Affiliate Program for three consecutive months and has not launched any campaigns since then, or if the publisher has generated little or no returns in the past 12 months (if the total generated returns are under €25). The publisher must be made aware of account closure.</p> <p>10.2. Both Bigpoint and the publisher have the right to extraordinary termination of the contract.</p> <p>10.3. Should serious breaches of these Terms & Conditions be persistently made by the publisher, especially with regards to clause 6 of these Terms & Conditions, Bigpoint has the right to extraordinary termination of all contracts regulating the duties of the publisher in the context of the Bigpoint Affiliate Program without notice. Once cancellation has occurred, Bigpoint has the right to close the publisher account. Closure of the publisher account also constitutes conclusive evidence of extraordinary termination.</p> <p>10.4. Bigpoint is not required to inform the publisher of the closure of their account in an official manner.</p> <p>10.5. If a publisher account is closed and the publisher is due remuneration of €50.00 or more, this payment shall be made. In the event that the publisher account has been closed and the publisher is due remuneration of under €50.00, no payment shall be made. In such cases, the publisher is not entitled to any payment.</p> <p>10.6. The publisher is obligated to remove all Bigpoint Affiliate Program hyperlinks from any and all their websites as soon as the contract termination has occurred.</p> <p>10.7. Once a contract has been terminated, absolutely no payments will be made, even if the publisher neglects to remove any hyperlinks from their website despite their obligation to do so.</p> <p>10.8. A publisher whose account has been closed is not permitted to register again for the Bigpoint Affiliate Program. Should the publisher choose to ignore this regulation, they are obligated to provide Bigpoint with compensation. Bigpoint is entitled to claim a maximum contractual penalty equivalent to the amount of commission paid out to the publisher by Bigpoint in the past 12 months.</p> <p>11. Liability/Limitation of liability</p> <p>11.1. Bigpoint neither guarantees nor are they liable for the correctness and/or integrity of publisher website content.</p> <p>11.2. The publisher releases Bigpoint from any and all liability regarding claims to the effect that publisher advertising infringes upon applicable laws or the rights of third parties which could be brought against Bigpoint by third parties.</p> <p>11.3. In accordance with § 6 Abs. 1 MDStV and § 7 TMG of German law, Bigpoint may be held liable only to insofar as they or their employees, representatives or contracted agents are guilty of wilful or gross negligence.</p> <p>12. Data privacy</p> <p>12.1. Bigpoint shall only save the publisher‘s personal data for the purpose of carrying out or modifying the contractual obligations. Only the name, address, telephone/fax number, e-mail address and bank account information, publisher domain name and relevant Affiliate Programs are saved. Any forwarding of this information to third parties is only permitted if it occurs for the purposes of carrying out and processing the contractual obligations.</p> <p>12.2. Bigpoint treats all publisher personal data in accordance with the relevant data protection standards.</p> <p>12.3. Additionally, personal data is only collected, processed or used when it is necessary in order to make it possible for the user to receive services (hereafter “User data”) or to remunerate fulfilled contractual obligations (hereafter “Billing data”).</p> <p>13. General clauses</p> <p>13.1. Bigpoint reserves the right to adapt or modfy these Terms & Conditions at any time. The publisher must however be informed in writing of any and all modifications. If the publisher does not reject these modifications in the proper form and within two calendar weeks of receiving written notice of the modifications, the modifications will be considered to have been accepted by the publisher. If the publisher does reject these modifications, they must do so in writing and within the deadline. Bigpoint shall reiterate the deadline and written form requirements in the notice of modification.</p> <p>13.2. Should the publisher be a merchant according to the definition of the the German Commercial Code, (Handelsgesetzbuch) it is agreed that the court of jurisdiction for all claims and actions arising as a result of this contract is Hamburg.</p> <p>13.3. All contracts concluded between Bigpoint and the publisher are subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.</p> <p>13.4. Should any provision in these Terms & Conditions be or become invalid, the remaining provisions of this agreement shall remain valid. A reasonable clause which is as close as possible to what both contracting parties desired should replace the invalid clause.<br />  <br /> APPENDIX 1</p> <p>Search-engine keywords – BIGPOINT:</p> <p>Bigpoint<br /> XBlaster<br /> Dark Orbit<br /> IceFighter<br /> Mafia1930<br /> Spaceinvasion<br /> Gladiatoren<br /> Gladiatoren 2<br /> The-Pimps<br /> Damoria<br /> Land of Destruction<br /> Fragoria<br /> Seafight<br /> The Mafia<br /> Deepolis<br /> Glorykings<br /> Farmerama<br /> ZooMumba<br /> Ponyrama<br /> RamaCity<br /> Toonracer<br /> Battlestar Galactica<br /> War Of Titans<br /> Hellblades<br /> Arenas of Glory<br /> Ich stimme den Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen zu
