This will be set out in a report and only the Merchant’s tracking functionality will be considered for this purpose. The form of the report will be as featured in the Affiliate’s control panel and may vary at the Merchant’s sole discretion. The Merchant may remove reporting columns at its sole discretion if these are not required to calculate Commission. The report will detail the number of new Players and the total amount due after any deductions discussed in this Agreement. The Merchant will provide the Affiliate with a statement based on this report.

(a) all Payments stated in this Agreement and on the Merchant Website are inclusive of VAT payable by the Merchant to the Affiliate;

6.10.4 any Player who already has an account on the Merchant Website, and the Merchant will be entitled to require repayment of Payments made as a result of such visits, actions and purchases. For the avoidance of doubt, the Merchant may withhold payment of Commission if it has reasonable grounds to believe that the Affiliate has breached any term of this Agreement or has acted dishonestly. The Merchant may also withhold payment of Commission when it has reasonable grounds to believe the payment of such Commission may cause the Merchant or the Affiliate to be in breach of any applicable laws, rules or regulations in any jurisdiction.

6.11 The Affiliate agrees to promptly repay the Merchant any monies already paid to it arising from any of the circumstances in clause 6.7 together with all reasonable legal costs and other expenses incurred by the Merchant in investigating the matter and recovering losses.
