Suitcase.hk Affiliate Service Agreement
Introduction
This Affiliate Service Agreement ("Agreement") is made by and agreed to between Creative Travelware Ltd, a company which operates Suitcase.hk (“SHK”), located at 1806, Nanyang Plaza, 57 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, and you ("You"). As an application service provider, SHK facilitates "Performance Marketing Programs" by providing services ("Network Service") via the Internet. A "Performance Marketing Program" ("Program") is where a person, entity, affiliate or its agent, operating "Web site(s)" (internet domain, or a portion of a domain) and/or other promotional methods to drive traffic to another's Web site or Web site content ("Affiliate") may earn financial compensation ("Payouts") for "Transactions" (actions by Visitors as defined by the Suitcase.hk) referred by such Affiliate via an action made by a "Visitor" (any person or entity that is not the Affiliate or the Affiliate's agent) through an Internet connection ("Link") to a Web site or Web site content operated by another person or entity ("Suitcase.hk") from an Suitcase.hk authorized promotional method used by such Affiliate. The Suitcase.hk compensates the Affiliate, in accordance with this Agreement and the Program Payout specifications.
1. Participation in Programs.
(a) Acceptance by Suitcase.hk. During this Agreement You may apply to Suitcase.hk Programs for the opportunity to earn Payouts by promoting Suitcase.hk in accordance with the Suitcase.hk's Program terms and complying with this Agreement.

An Suitcase.hk's acceptance of You extends only to the entity, or individual, that enters into this Agreement with SHK.

(c) Additional Terms. Affiliates and Suitcase.hk may enter into direct contractual relationships through a click-through agreement hosted by SHK and/or other agreement(s) (“Click-through Agreement”). It is Your obligation to review and to either accept or decline such Click-through Agreement when one is presented to You. If accepted by You, compliance with the Click-through Agreement, as applicable, is solely Your responsibility. The terms and conditions of the Click-through Agreement, as applicable, shall apply only with respect to Your relationship with that particular Suitcase.hk.

In Your Account, You must accurately, clearly and completely describe all promotional methods by selecting the appropriate descriptions and providing additional information when necessary. Some promotional methods will be designated by the system as “special”.

SHK reserves the right to define any program as special.
(b) Use of Links. You represent and warrant that all promotional means used by You will not contain objectionable content (including but not limited to content that is misleading, libelous, defamatory, obscene, violent, bigoted, hate-oriented, illegal, and/or promoting illegal goods, services or activities), and that You will not mislead others. You agree to: (i) use ethical and legal business practices, (ii) comply with the Suitcase.hk' Program terms and this Agreement, (iii) maintain a privacy policy on Your Web site and for any non-Web site based promotional method made available to Visitors, and (iv) designate Your Affiliate Account as “special” if You promote an Suitcase.hk(s) by any means other than displaying a Link to the Suitcase.hk on Your Web site. SHK must approve all of Your promotional activities and may deem Your promotional activities inappropriate and a material breach of this Agreement in SHK's sole discretion. Our network quality department reviews Affiliate conduct and any suspected fraudulent, abusive or otherwise illegal content or activity by You through Your promotional methods, or that is perpetrated through use of the Network Service, is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement or deactivation of Your Account.

You represent and warrant that You will not engage in pop-up or pop-under advertising using any means involving third party properties and/or services (software). Pop up/unders are acceptable on a first party basis only when triggered by Your site content /site visit or by downloadable software applications for which You are the owner/operator. Pop up/unders delivered through downloadable software cannot engage in means that force clicks or perform redirects, or pop over a pay-per-click listing or natural search results. Pop up/unders must honor the SHK Affiliate Code of Conduct requirements (as such requirements may be modified from time to time), including but not limited to: (i) installation requirements, (ii) enduser agreement requirements, (iii) afsrc=1 requirements, (iv) requirements prohibiting usurpation of a Transaction that might otherwise result in a Payout to another Affiliate (e.g. by purposefully detecting and forcing a subsequent click-through on a link of the same Suitcase.hk) and (v) non-interference with competing Suitcase.hk/ Affiliate referrals.
(d) Personally Identifiable Information of Visitors. You represent and warrant that You will not enable the Tracking Code to collect personally identifiable information of Visitors that would allow SHK to personally identify Visitors.

All Suitcase.hk Links and all advertisements ("Ad Content") must be in a Network Service compatible format.
(g) Usage and Security of Account. You shall be responsible for all usage and activity on Your account and for loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of Your password (other than through SHK's negligent or willful conduct or omission). You shall provide SHK with prompt written notification of any known or suspected unauthorized use of Your Account or breach of the security of Your Account.
3. SHK's Services.
(a) Tracking Transactions and Payouts. SHK shall determine (where possible) actual Payouts that should be credited to Your Account. SHK may, in SHK's sole discretion, apply an estimated amount of Payouts, if: (i) You are referring Visitors to Suitcase.hk as verified by clicks through Links to Suitcase.hk with SHK Tracking Code, (ii) where there is an error in Suitcase.hk's transmission of Tracking Code data to SHK, and (iii) where SHK is able to utilize a historical analysis of Your promotion of Suitcase.hk to determine an equitable amount of estimated Payouts.
(b) Charge-backs. An Suitcase.hk may apply, or SHK may apply, a debit to Your Account in an amount equal to a Payout previously credited to Your Account in circumstances of : (i) product returns; (ii) duplicate entry or other clear error; (iii) non-bona fide Transactions; (iv) non-receipt of payment from, or refund of payment to, the Visitor by the Suitcase.hk; or (v) Affiliate failure to comply with Suitcase.hk's Program terms or other agreement with Suitcase.hk ("Charge-back"). Charge-backs may be applied to Your Account at any time, including previous payment cycles.
(c) Access to Tracking and Reporting Tools. SHK shall provide You with access to tracking and reporting tools, and to support services. From time to time SHK may offer optional services for a fee. Fees for such optional services are at SHK's then-current published rates or as may be quoted by SHK, and are payable in advance or may be off-set against Your positive Account balance (at SHK's discretion). Tracking detail regarding Visitor Transactions is not available on a real-time basis for all Suitcase.hk and there may be reporting delays regarding Transactions for some Suitcase.hk. SHK may make available, for fees that SHK shall publish from time-to-time, enhanced reporting capabilities and other services that are not included in the standard Network Service.
(d) Support. Support for your program is available on-line through the "Contact Us" area in the SHK Account Manager, which allows You to categorize and describe Your issue. Online help also allows You to check the status of all issues through the "Check Question Status" feature. Phone support may also be available during operating hours, except holidays.
(e) Facilitating Payment of Payouts. Subject to other provisions in this Agreement, SHK shall credit Your Account with a Payout for each qualifying Transaction in accordance with the Suitcase.hk's Payout rate and Program terms for the relevant Transaction. On or about the 20th day of each calendar month, SHK will issue to You any positive balance in Your Account for Transactions reported for the previous month, provided Your Account balance exceeds the required “Minimum Account Balance.” SHK shall have no obligation to make payment of any Payouts for which SHK has not received payment from the relevant Suitcase.hk of all monies due to SHK (including for all Payouts owed by such Suitcase.hk to all of such Suitcase.hk's Affiliates). You agree that SHK has the right, but not the obligation, to seek on behalf of You any and all amounts due from Suitcase.hk, including, but not limited to Payouts. If SHK elects, in its own discretion, not to make payment to You for amounts not received from an Suitcase.hk, those amounts shall not be included in the Minimum Balance Amount. Your recourse for any earned Payouts not paid to You shall be to make a claim against the relevant Suitcase.hk(s), and SHK disclaims any and all liability for such payment. You may elect to receive payment in any of the currencies that SHK supports (as may be amended by SHK). The conversion rate shall be determined in accordance with SHK's operating standards. SHK has the right to assess service fees in order to process or stop your payment as necessary. The number or amount of Transactions, credits for Payouts, and debits for Charge-backs, as calculated by SHK, shall be final and binding on You.
(f) Dormant Accounts. If Affiliate's Account has not been credited with a valid, compensable Transaction that has not been Charged-back during any rolling, six consecutive calendar month period (“Dormant Account”), a dormant account fee at SHK's then-current rate shall be applied to Affiliate's Account each calendar month that Affiliate's Account remains an open yet Dormant Account or until Your Account balance reaches a zero balance, at which time the Account shall become deactivated. Transactions will not be counted if the Transaction subsequently becomes a Charge-back.
(g) Negative Accounts. You may have a negative balance if Your Account is debited amounts equivalent to previous Payouts for Charge-backs and You do not have an adequate Account balance to cover the Charge-back amounts. When You have a negative balance, You must immediately remit payment to SHK in an amount sufficient to bring Your Account to a zero balance, or Your Account is subject to 1.5% interest per month, compounded monthly.

Suitcase.hk Affiliate Service Agreement
Introduction
This Affiliate Service Agreement ("Agreement") is made by and agreed to between Conversant Europe Ltd. located at 1st Floor, 40 Dukes Place, London EC3A 7NH, United Kingdom ("SHK"), and you ("You"). For purposes of this Agreement, any references to "SHK Companies" shall refer to SHK, its parent and any divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates of SHK. SHK has created, developed and installed a system by which it has developed a suite of services which enables Suitcase.hk to launch and manage Affiliate Marketing Programs or Campaigns on the internet via the Commission Junction Platform ("Network Service"). A "Performance Marketing Program" ("Program") is where a person, entity, affiliate or its agent, operating "Website(s)" (internet domain, or a portion of a domain) and/or other promotional methods to drive traffic to another's Website or Website content ("Affiliate") may earn financial compensation ("Payouts") for "Transactions" (actions by Visitors as defined by the Suitcase.hk) referred by such Affiliate via an action made by a "Visitor" (any person or entity that is not the Affiliate or the Affiliate's agent) through an Internet connection ("Link") to a Website or Website content operated by another person or entity ("Suitcase.hk") from an Suitcase.hk authorised promotional method used by such Affiliate. The Suitcase.hk compensates the Affiliate, in accordance with this Agreement and the Program Payout specifications.
For the purposes of this Agreement, all references to "business days" shall be references to a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday or public holiday in England and Wales) on which clearing banks are open for business in England and Wales.
1. Participation in Programs.
(a) Acceptance by Suitcase.hk. During this Agreement You may apply to Suitcase.hk Programs for the opportunity to earn Payouts by promoting Suitcase.hk in accordance with the Suitcase.hk's Program terms and complying with this Agreement. Upon approval by the Suitcase.hk for acceptance into its Program, You may display (and remove) Links to Suitcase.hk's Website or Website content in accordance with the Suitcase.hk's Program terms and this Agreement. An Suitcase.hk's acceptance of You extends only to the entity, or individual, that enters into this Agreement with SHK.
(b) Program Terms. The details of an Suitcase.hk's Program shall be available through the Network Service. Transactions qualifying for a Payout are defined by the Suitcase.hk. Suitcase.hk may change any Payout rate upon no less than 7 business days’ written notice through the Network Service with effect from the 8th business day (or such later date as specified by Suitcase.hk).
(c) Additional Terms. Affiliates and Suitcase.hk may enter into direct contractual relationships through the "apply to join" process in the form of a click-through agreement hosted by SHK ("Click-through Agreement") or in the form of an offer made to You by Suitcase.hk via the members' area on the Network Service ("Offer"). It is Your obligation to review and accept or decline a Click-through Agreement or Offer when such is presented to You. If accepted by You, compliance with the Click-through Agreement or Offer is solely Your responsibility. The terms and conditions of the Click-through Agreement or Offer may supersede or conflict with this Agreement and shall apply only with respect to Your relationship with that particular Suitcase.hk.
(d) Prohibited Uses of Links.
(i) Locations. You may not place Links to an Suitcase.hk's Website or Website content in third party newsgroups, message boards, blogs, unsolicited email and other types of spam, link farms, counters, chatrooms, or guestbooks. Affiliates using IRC channels, instant messages or similar Internet resources must designate their program as special requiring manual review and acceptance by the Suitcase.hk.
(ii) Non-Bona Fide Transactions. You must promote Suitcase.hk such that You do not mislead the Visitor, and such that the Links deliver bona fide Transactions by the Visitor to Suitcase.hk from the Link. You shall not cause any Transactions to be made that are not in good faith, including, but not limited to, using any device, program, robot, Iframes, or hidden frames. Unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Suitcase.hk, You will not be compensated for Transactions where You or Your agent are the Visitor. Multiple Leads from the same individual, entity or IP address may be considered non-bona fide Transactions. You shall not earn Payouts for non-bona fide Transactions.
(iii) Infringement. None of Your promotional activities may infringe an Suitcase.hk's proprietary rights (including but not limited to trademark rights), SHK's proprietary rights, or a third party's proprietary rights.
(e) Updating Links. If Links to Suitcase.hk are not dynamically updated through the Network Service, upon notification You are obligated to update an Suitcase.hk's Links in order to earn Payouts.

2. Affiliate Obligations to SHK.
(a) Accurate, Up-to-Date Information. You agree to provide SHK and Suitcase.hk with accurate information about You and Your promotional methods, and to maintain up-to-date "Account" information (such as contact information, Websites used, etc.). In Your Account, You must accurately, clearly and completely describe all promotional methods by selecting the appropriate descriptions and providing additional information when necessary. Some promotional methods will be designated by the system as "special". Special programs are linked to promotional methods and practices considered unique and require manual approval and acceptance by the Suitcase.hk. SHK reserves the right to define any program as special.
(b) Use of Links. You represent and warrant that all promotional means used by You will not contain objectionable content in any jurisdiction where it is used/viewed (including but not limited to content that is misleading, libelous, defamatory, obscene, violent, bigoted, hate-oriented, illegal, and/or promoting illegal goods, services or activities), and that You will not mislead others. You agree to: (i) use ethical and legal business practices, (ii) comply with the Suitcase.hk' Program terms and this Agreement, (iii) maintain a privacy policy on Your Website and for any non-Website based promotional method made available to Visitors, and (iv) designate Your Affiliate Account as "special" if You promote an Suitcase.hk(s) by any means other than displaying a Link to the Suitcase.hk on Your Website. Your promotional activities must have been approved in advance by SHK, who may deem Your promotional activities inappropriate and a material breach of this Agreement in SHK's sole discretion. Our network quality department reviews Affiliate conduct and any suspected fraudulent, abusive or otherwise illegal content or activity by You through Your promotional methods, or that is perpetrated through use of the Network Service, is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement or deactivation of Your Account (at the sole discretion of SHK).
(c) Promotional Methods. You represent and warrant that You will not engage in and/or facilitate spamming, indiscriminate advertising or unsolicited commercial email or otherwise fail to comply with including but not limited to the Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications (2002/58/EC), the Electronic Signatures Directive (1999/93/EC), the Electronic Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC), the Distance Contracts Directive 97/7/EC, the Data Protection Acts 1988 - 2003 and Directive 95/46/EU, any other EU Regulations, Directives, Decisions or Guidelines on data protection or data privacy and guidance issued by the Data Protection Commissioner of Ireland, (or any successor legislation) as may be implemented into national law/regulations, laws and/or regulations that govern email marketing and/or communications. You represent and warrant that You will not engage in pop-up or pop-under advertising using any means involving third party properties and/or services (software). Pop up/unders are acceptable on a first party basis only when triggered by Your site content /site visit or by downloadable software applications for which You are the owner/operator. Pop up/unders delivered through downloadable software cannot engage in means that force clicks or perform redirects, or pop over a pay-per-click listing or natural search results. Pop up/unders must honour the SHK Affiliate Code of Conduct requirements (as such requirements may be modified from time to time), including but not limited to: (i) installation requirements, (ii) end-user agreement requirements, (iii) afsrc=1 requirements, (iv) requirements prohibiting usurpation of a Transaction that might otherwise result in a Payout to another Affiliate (e.g. by purposefully detecting and forcing a subsequent click-through on a link of the same Suitcase.hk) and (v) non-interference with competing Suitcase.hk/ Affiliate referrals.
(d) Personally Identifiable Information of Visitors. You represent and warrant that You will not enable the Tracking Code to collect personally identifiable information of Visitors that would allow SHK to personally identify Visitors.
(e) Privacy. You must conspicuously post Your privacy policy on Your Website and otherwise make it available to all Visitors. Your privacy policy must comply with all laws and regulations regarding the privacy of Visitor information, be commercially reasonable, and fully and accurately disclose Your collection and use of Visitor information. You must fully and accurately disclose Your use of third party technology, including SHK's tracking technology, use of cookies and options for discontinuing use of such cookies.
(f) Applicable Codes and Code Maintenance. In order for SHK to record the tracking of Visitors' Transactions resulting from clicks on Links to Suitcase.hk promoted by You, You must include and maintain a SHK "Tracking Code" within the Suitcase.hk's Links. All Suitcase.hk Links and all advertisements ("Ad Content") must be in a Network Service compatible format.
(g) Usage and Security of Account. You shall be responsible for all usage and activity on Your account and for loss, theft or unauthorised disclosure of Your password (other than through SHK's negligent or willful conduct or omission). You shall provide SHK with prompt written notification of any known or suspected unauthorised use of Your Account or breach of the security of Your Account.
3. SHK's Services.
(a) Tracking Transactions and Payouts. SHK shall determine (where possible) actual Payouts that should be credited to Your Account. SHK may, in SHK's sole discretion, apply an estimated amount of Payouts, if: (i) You are referring Visitors to Suitcase.hk as verified by clicks through Links to Suitcase.hk with SHK Tracking Code, (ii) where there is an error in Suitcase.hk's transmission of Tracking Code data to SHK, and (iii) where SHK is able to utilise an historical analysis of Your promotion of Suitcase.hk to determine an equitable amount of estimated Payouts.
(b) Charge-backs. An Suitcase.hk may apply, or SHK may apply, a debit to Your Account in an amount equal to a Payout previously credited to Your Account in circumstances of : (i) product returns; (ii) duplicate entry or other clear error; (iii) non-bona fide Transactions; (iv) non-receipt of payment from, or refund of payment to, the Visitor by the Suitcase.hk; (v) Affiliate failure to comply with Suitcase.hk's Program terms or other agreement with Suitcase.hk; or (vi) where any Payouts calculated in accordance with Clause 3(a) (ii) or (iii) subsequently transpire to be in excess of the amount that was actually due to You ("Charge-back"). Charge-backs may be applied to Your Account at any time, including previous payment cycles.
(c) Access to Tracking and Reporting Tools. SHK shall provide You with access to tracking and reporting tools, and to support services. From time to time SHK may offer optional services for a fee. Fees for such optional services are at SHK's then-current published rates or as may be quoted by SHK, and are payable in advance or may be off-set against Your positive Account balance (at SHK's discretion). Tracking detail regarding Visitor Transactions is not available on a real-time basis for all Suitcase.hk and there may be reporting delays regarding Transactions for some Suitcase.hk. SHK may make available, for fees that SHK shall publish from time-to-time, enhanced reporting capabilities and other services that are not included in the standard Network Service.
(d) Support. Support for your program is available on-line through the "Contact Us" area in the SHK Account Manager, which allows You to categorise and describe Your issue. Online help also allows You to check the status of all issues through the "Check Question Status" feature. Phone support may also be available during operating hours on business days.
(e) Facilitating Payment of Payouts. Subject to other provisions in this Agreement, SHK shall credit Your Account with a Payout for each qualifying Transaction in accordance with the Suitcase.hk's Payout rate and Program terms for the relevant Transaction. On the 20th business day of each calendar month, SHK will issue to You any positive balance in Your Account for Transactions reported for the previous month, provided Your Account balance exceeds the required "Minimum Account Balance." SHK shall have no obligation to make payment of any Payouts for which SHK has not received payment from the relevant Suitcase.hk of all monies due to SHK (including for all Payouts owed by such Suitcase.hk to all of such Suitcase.hk's Affiliates). You agree that SHK has the right, but not the obligation, to seek on behalf of You any and all amounts due from Suitcase.hk, including, but not limited to Payouts. If SHK elects, in its own discretion, not to make payment to You for amounts not received from an Suitcase.hk, those amounts shall not be included in the Minimum Balance Amount. Your recourse for any earned Payouts not paid to You shall be to make a claim against the relevant Suitcase.hk(s), and SHK disclaims any and all liability for such payment. You may elect to receive payment in any of the currencies that SHK supports (as may be amended by SHK). The conversion rate shall be determined in accordance with SHK's operating standards. SHK has the right to assess service fees as necessary in order to process your payment. The number or amount of Transactions, credits for Payouts, and debits for Charge-backs, as calculated by SHK, shall be final and binding on You.
(f) Dormant Accounts. If Affiliate's Account has not been credited with a valid, compensable Transaction that has not been Charged-back during any rolling, six consecutive calendar month period ("Dormant Account"), a dormant account fee at SHK's then-current rate shall be applied to Affiliate's Account each calendar month that Affiliate's Account remains an open yet Dormant Account or until Your Account balance reaches a zero balance, at which time the Account shall become deactivated. Transactions will not be counted if the Transaction subsequently becomes a Charge-back.
(g) Negative Accounts. You may have a negative balance if Your Account is debited amounts equivalent to previous Payouts for Charge-backs and You do not have an adequate Account balance to cover the Charge-back amounts. When You have a negative balance, You must immediately remit payment to SHK in an amount sufficient to bring Your Account to a zero balance, or Your Account is subject to 1.5% interest per month, compounded monthly.
(h) VAT. For the relevant VAT jurisdictions, SHK and Affiliate hereby acknowledge and agree that SHK will provide Affiliate with a value added tax ("VAT") invoice. Affiliate agrees not to raise any VAT invoices with respect to the revenue or other amounts due to it pursuant to this Agreement. SHK will complete invoices showing the Affiliate's address, VAT Registration number, together with all details that constitute a full VAT invoice. Affiliate agrees to immediately notify SHK in the event Affiliate ceases to be registered under the VAT number provided to SHK, transfers or sells its business or becomes registered under a different VAT number. In the event that the Affiliate's VAT registration changes, SHK and Affiliate agree to make and enter into a new, but similar agreement that addresses Affiliate's VAT registration changes. In the event SHK outsources its responsibility for issuing VAT invoices under this Agreement to a third party, SHK shall notify the Affiliate of such outsourcing arrangement. These terms shall run conterminously with this Agreement.
