This Partner Program Operating Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Bayta Trading
("Bayta Trading" or "we") and the individual or entity applying to become an Bayta Trading partner
("Partner"). The terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement govern Partner's participation in the Affiliate
Interactive Partner Program ("Partner Program").
Through the Partner Program, Partner may access offers ("Offers") provided by Bayta Trading or third-party
clients ("Clients"). Each Offer may link to a specific website ("Program Web Site") and may include additional terms
that are incorporated into this Agreement. By submitting an application or participating in any Offer, Partner
expressly agrees to all terms and conditions herein. The individual accepting this Agreement represents that they
have the authority to bind the Partner to these terms.
Enrollment in the Partner Program
To enroll, Partner must submit a complete and accurate application via the Bayta Trading website. After
review, Bayta Trading will notify the Partner of acceptance or rejection. Acceptance is at Affiliate
Interactive’s sole discretion and may be denied for any reason.
Obligations of the Parties
Subject to acceptance and continued compliance with this Agreement, Bayta Trading agrees to:
-
Provide Partner with access to graphic and textual links ("Links") to the Program Web Site and other creative
assets. These Links may be used on Partner-owned websites, in emails, and in online advertisements ("Media"). The
Links identify Partner as a member of the Partner Program and establish a connection to the Program Web Site.
-
Pay Partner a commission for each Qualified Action. A "Qualified Action" is defined as an individual who:
- Accesses the Program Web Site via the Link, where the Link is the final referral source.
- Is not a bot, script, or automated user (as determined by Bayta Trading).
- Does not use pre-populated fields.
- Completes all required information within the designated time frame.
- Is not later deemed fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified, or a duplicate by Bayta Trading.
Bayta Trading will pay Partner any earned Commissions on a monthly basis, provided the total exceeds $50.
Balances below $50 will roll over to the next month until the minimum threshold is met. Bayta Trading
reserves the right to reverse any previously paid Commissions for actions later deemed invalid or non-qualifying.
Commission payments are contingent upon receipt of funds from Clients. Partner acknowledges that Affiliate
Interactive is only liable for Commissions to the extent that such funds have been received. This clause governs any
insertion order (IO) signed by baytatrading.com regarding payments.
Bayta Trading will automatically generate invoices on behalf of Partner for all payable Commissions and
remit payment accordingly. All tracking of Links and determination of Qualified Actions and Commissions shall be
made solely by Bayta Trading. If Partner disputes any portion of an invoice, they must submit a detailed
written dispute within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Failure to do so constitutes a waiver of any claims
related to that invoice.
If Partner maintains independent tracking and identifies a discrepancy exceeding 10%, Partner must submit their
report within three (3) days after the 30th day of the calendar month. If Bayta Trading reasonably
determines that Partner’s tracking methods are industry-standard, both parties will make a good faith effort to
reconcile. If reconciliation is not achieved, Bayta Trading’s data shall prevail.
If Partner owes any outstanding balance to Bayta Trading under this or any other agreement, Affiliate
Interactive reserves the right to offset such amounts against any payments due to Partner under this Agreement.

GDPR Data Processing Addendum
This General Data Protection Regulation Data Processing Addendum ("GDPR Addendum") is incorporated by reference into
the Partner Program Operating Agreement between You ("Partner") and Us ("Network" or "Processor"). This Addendum
applies from the effective date of the Agreement.
The GDPR Addendum outlines the terms for processing Personal Data under the Agreement, ensuring compliance with
applicable EU, UK, and Swiss data protection laws and safeguarding the rights of individuals.
Definitions
Capitalized terms not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
Data Protection Legislation: (i) Until the GDPR is no longer applicable in the UK, this includes
the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) and related national laws; and (ii) any successor legislation
to the GDPR or the UK Data Protection Act 1998.
Applicability
This Addendum applies if Partner is established in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, or if Network processes Personal Data
of individuals located in these regions on behalf of Partner.
Data Protection
Both parties shall comply with all applicable requirements under the Data Protection Legislation. This section
supplements, and does not replace, each party’s obligations under applicable law.
The parties acknowledge that Partner is the Data Controller and Network is the Data Processor, as defined by the
legislation.
Partner shall ensure that:
- It complies with all applicable privacy and data protection laws;
- It has the legal right to transfer Personal Data to Network for processing under the Agreement and this
Addendum.
Network shall, in relation to any Personal Data processed under this Agreement:
-
Process Personal Data only for the purposes outlined in the Agreement and Schedule 1, and strictly in accordance
with Partner’s lawful, documented instructions—unless otherwise required by applicable law. If Network relies on
EU law or the law of an EU member state for processing outside the scope of Partner’s instructions, it shall
notify Partner in advance unless prohibited by law.
-
Implement appropriate technical and organizational measures—subject to Partner’s review—to protect Personal Data
against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures may include
pseudonymization, encryption, system resilience, timely restoration of access, and regular effectiveness
assessments, considering technological developments and implementation costs.
-
Ensure that all personnel with access to Personal Data are bound by confidentiality obligations. Network shall
provide an adequate level of protection for any transferred Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection
Legislation.
-
Assist Partner, at Partner’s expense, in responding to Data Subject requests and in complying with obligations
related to security, breach notifications, impact assessments, and regulatory consultations. Partner remains
responsible for handling Data Subject requests regarding access, correction, restriction, objection, erasure, or
data portability.
-
Notify Partner without undue delay upon becoming aware of a Personal Data breach.
-
Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, and within a reasonable timeframe, delete or make available for
retrieval all relevant Personal Data in Network’s possession—unless retention is required by law. In such cases,
Network shall continue to protect the data and limit processing to the minimum necessary.
-
Maintain complete and accurate records to demonstrate compliance with this section.
Partner consents to Network appointing third-party processors ("Sub-processors") for Personal Data under this
Agreement, including tracking platforms. Network confirms that it has entered or will enter into written agreements
with Sub-processors that are substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement. Network remains fully liable for
all acts and omissions of its Sub-processors.
Network may update or add Sub-processors with at least thirty (30) days’ notice via email. Partner may object in
writing within five (5) business days of such notice, provided the objection is based on reasonable data protection
concerns. The parties will discuss the objection in good faith. If no resolution is reached and Network cannot offer
an alternative Sub-processor, Partner may terminate the Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy.
Miscellaneous
Except as stated in this GDPR Addendum, the Agreement remains in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict
between the Agreement and this Addendum, the terms of the GDPR Addendum shall prevail.
Any claims brought under this GDPR Addendum are subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including its
exclusions and limitations of liability.
