Purple Lounge Keeps Predatory Terms

[kwblue]

Purple Lounge Affiliates DID make some changes to the terms at our request, but keeps the most important of the Predatory Terms....


The 'Minimum Player Rule' will allow them to steal your players and here is how:

5.3 Termination By Us. We may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to you. Further, we may terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, in the following events:

1. You materially breach this Agreement and do not cure within fifteen (15) days of notice to cure;
2. The total cumulative balance of Affiliate Fees due to you is less than $50 for three (3) consecutive months;
3. We determine, in our reasonable discretion, that you knowingly benefited from Fraud Traffic as set forth in Section 2.8 herein; and
4. The total number of new Players introduced by you in a sixty (60) day period is less than 1.

The highlighted termination points allow them to terminate your account if you either:

a. Don't make at least $50 off your players in 3 months
b. Don't send at least 1 player in 60 days

They will THEN use the termination clause to take ALL of your existing players:

5.4 Effect of Termination: The following will apply upon the effective date of termination:

1. You will stop promoting the Website and all rights and licenses given to you under this Agreement will terminate immediately, except as expressly stated herein;
2. You will return all confidential information and cease use of any of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, banners and other designations;
3. We may leave open, redirect or deactivate any Trackers in our sole discretion without any obligation to pay you on new Players who come in or would have come in on those Trackers;
4. We will continue to pay you Affiliate Fees for all existing Players who signed up through the effective date of termination and on any Net Revenue generated by these Players subject to the terms of this Agreement and any other user agreements to which they have agreed to; and
5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event we determine, in our reasonable discretion, that you materially violated the provisions of Section 3, we may in our sole discretion stop, cancel and confiscate all your Affiliate Fees; and in such case, we do not waive any other legal rights we have against you.

Thanks for posting this. I recently signed up with them and was considering giving additional exposure because I liked the branding.

However, you just never know when rankings will go against you and you struggle to give players. I'll run a small campaign and see how they convert first.

Well done!!
