Help needed regarding registration process and contract

[justsaying]

hello friends i wanted to know in case of dispute with affiliate site regarding revenue share deal will that mail work as a legal document where they state they are offering 30% or 40% revenue share deal or there is no legal partnership deal between affiliate and affiliation sites because this can be a very miserable situation for an affiliates.Am i missing something while setting a deal because i believe deal is done when that email is received stating revenue share percentage or do i need to ask for something more(Contract or agreement).thanks in advance

HI,

Note this is my personal view but i believe that say a program offered you 35% on sign up . You then go and sign up and agree to the Terms and conditions then that is a bidding contract between you and that program. However you have to have to read the terms carefully as this is where you may get caught out . The initial deal maybe be 35% but somewhere in the terms you may see such things as Player quotes meaning if you dont deliver a certain amount of players the program can drop your Commission etc..so be wary..In saying that if you have received anything in writing that says commission for Life then that's what it should be.

I agree that you want that phrase "lifetime commission" or something similar.

However, I would (and will) argue that lifetime commission is the "norm" in the industry and that even if not stated outright, it is implied due to being the norm in the industry and certainly deemed the norm due to all the cool graphics and marketing talk on most affiliate sites.

Thanks Shay for your response will keep this in mind while setting deal.
