Guys this change to the terms and conditions is no longer a breach of the previous agreement. I worked with Mario to clarify that. VIP Profits has modified the change so that it is NOT retroactive. You will be paid the agreed upon commission for the life of your players.
What we wanted was for the agreement that affiliates signed up under initially to be honored and VIP management has modified the NEW terms and condition to satisfy that request. This is a very positive move.
Ok thats the good news.
The bad news is the NEW terms and conditions are in effect for players brought in after November 23rd. You have two options:
1. Continue to promote VIP profits. The program wants you to succeed and will continue to provide the same great levels of support they always have. Mario and Simon have both indicated that they will work with you on a one to one basis and its highly unlikely that the new clause will have any effect on anyone promoting them.
2. If you decide you do not feel comfortable working with VIP Profits under the new terms and conditions then its your option to promote another brand. VIP Profits will continue to honor their affiliate agreement and pay you on the activity of all the players you have acquired up until November 23rd 2006.
Each of us will have to decide which option they choose to go with, but I am happy that VIP Profits was responsive to our requests and modified the terms and conditions so that they were NOT retroactive. I would suggest everyone take that into consideration when making their decision.
Personally I dont like the new terms. I think its always better to motivate affiliates through positive promotions, but I am keeping an open mind on how all this turns out and am giving Simon and Mario the benefit of the doubt because of their past performance.
