Best Affiliate has a number of Predatory Clauses

[AGD Terms Alert Feed]

Summary of Changes: We have recently found Best Affiliates terms changed from the original, when we certified them. Due to an error, the spider cannot determine the change date. What has been found is that they are applying Negative Carryover to some affiliates even though it has not been in effect previously.

Guard Dog's Reflections on the Impact for Affiliates: These are some of the most ridiculous terms I have seen. If you don't make the minimum amount in a month - they can just take it from you (won't carry it over to the next month). Really?Best Affiliate - Decertified.

Details:

Predatory:

Dated:2011-12-20 - Commissions - Minimum Payment
19.4.6. The total commission must be minimum of $100 for the previous monthly result in order to be paid out. If the commission is lower then $100 there will be no commission payout that month. These funds will not be available for the affiliate in the future.

Dated:2011-12-20 - Commissions - Payment Date
19.4.2 BA shall pay THE REFERRAL COMPANY each month for services rendered during the preceding calendar month. Payment shall be made prior to the 15th day of each month by transferring the funds to an account submitted to BA by THE REFERRAL COMPANY.

Dated:2011-12-20 - Strange Term
19.3.7. THE REFFERAL COMPANY acknowledges that it is totally forbidden to promote their services to any active players within BA database. THE REFFERAL COMPANY acknowledges that BA will not tag or trace existing players in player database to THE REFFERRAL COMPANY affiliate account or super affiliate account if the player has been active on one or more accounts during the last 60 days. If BA discovers that a player traced/tagged to REFFERRAL COMPANY has been traced/tagged in an incorrect way BA has the right to remove the player from REFFERRAL COMPANY affiliate and/or super affiliate account with immediate effect. THE REFFERAL COMPANY acknowledges that BA can at any given time remove players from REFFERRAL COMPANY affiliate account and or super affiliate account.

I guess their name is an oxymoron.

Yea I agree, their terms rank them right up there with the worst of them....

That last term discussed above is just placed in there to justify stealing players from affiliates......all they will need to do to moved a tagged player from one affiliate to another (or to an in-house tag is say, that player already had an account at property #2)....
