We recognise that some affiliates may wish to use our trademarks in PPC and therefore, at our sole discretion we may alter an agreement on a case by case basis where permission has been sought by the affiliate and agreed to in writing. If permission is not sought and agreed to in writing, section 7 will be strictly enforced.
7.1 In relation to PPC and keyword bidding it is hereby made clear that you may not advertise (make use in any search engine ads) or purchase or register keywords, search terms or other identifiers for use in any search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service or other search or referral service, which are identical or similar to any of the Company's or its affiliate's trademarks or trade names from time to time,

Any advertisement under which a customer is offered an advantage - i.e. bonus money on top of a deposit - must clearly set out all significant terms subject to which the benefit is being offered. These must be displayed on the advert itself, or if space restrictions preclude such presentation, e.g. on a banner ad, the T&Cs must be visible one click away.
7.5 The company does not tolerate the use of unsolicited 'spam' to promote Lady Love Bingo. You will not market Lady Love Bingo to any mailing list which you have not built yourself.
