Payments sent to a valid email address cannot be reversed or re-transmitted for any reason. Additionally, PayPal payments are subject to total dollar amount limits as imposed by PayPal, and if that limit should be exceeded, the Affiliate will receive as many separate payments as necessary to reach the full amount earned in the given payment period. Kindly review PayPal’s payment terms and conditions.
7.3. Any payments that have been returned to Currency Press for any reason, such as incorrect PayPal email addresses, may be re-issued upon request and are subject to a 20 AUD Dollar reissue fee, which will be deducted from the original payment amount.

9. Promotion Restrictions
9.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally, any promotion mentioning Currency Press could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated because of unacceptable advertising. To avoid confusion, the following promotional restrictions are to be followed by all participating Affiliates:
9.1.1. Certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Currency Press. For example, advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name.
9.1.2. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups, and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once.
9.1.3. You may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address.
9.1.4. You may use mailings to customers to promote Currency Press so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings.
9.1.5. You may post to newsgroups to promote Currency Press so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages.
9.1.6. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web site(s) as independent from Currency Press and its clients.
9.1.7. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Currency Press Affiliate Program.
9.2. Affiliates that advertise among other keywords or exclusively bid in their pay-per-click campaigns on keywords such as Currency Press, My Currency Press, currency.com.au, Currency Press Publishing, currencypress.com.au and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these—be it separately or in combination with other keywords—will be considered trademark violators, and will be terminated from the Currency Press Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the Affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such pay-per-click bidding behaviour.
9.3. Affiliates are prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the signup form with the intent of misrepresenting or falsifying leads.
9.4. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited our site (i.e., no page, content, or branding from our site is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein, “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of Affiliate and non Affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer-initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place, or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL, and similar search or directory engines); (c) sets commission tracking cookies through loading of Currency Press’s site in IFrames, hidden links, and automatic pop ups that open Currency Press’s site; (d) targets text on websites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; or (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on websites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
9.5. Currency Press Affiliates are rewarded for networking and bringing in new customers through their own marketing efforts. Currency Press prohibits Affiliates from utilising their Affiliate link to refer to their own customer account(s) to receive commission (“self referrals”). This also includes accounts that are not under their name but are paid for using a payment medium that they own. Also prohibited are referrals for individuals of the Affiliate’s immediate family or household.
10. Grant of Licences
10.1. Currency Press grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to (i) access our site through HTML links solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) solely in connection with such links, to use our logos, trade names, trademarks, and similar identifying material (collectively, the “Licenced Materials”) that we provide to you or authorise for such purpose.

10.2. Each party agrees not to use the other’s proprietary materials in any manner that is disparaging, misleading, obscene, or that otherwise portrays the party in a negative light. Each party reserves all of its respective rights in the proprietary materials covered by this licence. Other than the licence granted in this Agreement, each party retains all right, title, and interest to its respective rights and no right, title, or interest is transferred to the other.
11. Confidentiality
