the laws of copyright or other intellectual property, defamation, libel,
privacy, obscenity, or any other legal discipline. This web site may contain

REFERRAL COMMISSIONS
The referral commission paid out will be the one listed on the Referrals
page. If the commission rate is changed, it will only affect referrals made
after the new commission was announced. You may not refer yourself, nor
sign up for multiple accounts to collect referral fees. You may also not
partner with any other Taifahotels.com user to share/transfer the commission
made from your own account, or else both parties will be kicked from the
service without payment. Taifahotels.com reserves the right to delay or cancel
sending affiliate earnings if we believe the referred user will not pay
the fees they were charged, since affiliate commissions are based on those
fees.
PAYMENTS
Taifahotels.com will send payments through the PayPal service if the member
requests it AND their account balance is equal to or greater than $100.
All amounts are stated in and all payments will be made in US funds. Taifahotels.com
reserves the right to suspend a withdrawal if the source of the funds is
suspected to be fraudulent. Any funds received from an account having made
a fraudulent deposit (e.g. stolen credit card) will be reversed immediately.
If in a fraudulent payment situation a withdrawal has already been processed,
you will be expected to return the funds to your Taifahotels.com account or
face account termination.
As previously stated, any member site that Taifahotels.com removes from
the service due to violation of the Terms and Conditions will receive no
credit or payment .
E-MAIL ADDRESSES
Members agree not to post their e-mail address on the site, except in the
"e-mail" field of the signup form, or when asked by Taifahotels.com
at any other time. There should be no need to give anyone your e-mail address.
It is automatically provided if you choose a Hotel and/or Tour Operator (or you are
the Hotel and/or Tour Operator chosen for) a property, and before that time you can use
the message board to communicate. This does not only apply to e-mail addresses,
but to all methods of communication, including phone, ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger,
etc... See "Avoiding Commissions" below for the reason.
PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION
You are prohibited from making direct contact with another member, unless
it's for a property you (a Hotel and/or Tour Operator) have been picked for, or you (a
Guest) have picked a Hotel and/or Tour Operator for. This includes giving out
your e-mail address, ICQ number, phone number, or any other method of contact
outside of this site. Taifahotels.com provides you with message boards, which
should be sufficient for pre-property planning.
AVOIDING COMMISSIONS
You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for a
property with another member directly (outside of Taifahotels.com) after that
property has been created/opened and before that property has been closed
(basically, during an ongoing property). But this also applies to any property
that was closed without a Hotel and/or Tour Operator being chosen, and then contacting
them about the property anyway. Both parties are responsible for notifying
Taifahotels.com if the payment amount increases (above the bid amount) after
the property is closed. Receiving a larger amount than the original property
bid, without notifying us, will be considered an attempt to avoid the commissions.
When a Hotel and/or Tour Operator requests a withdrawal, we always review all payments
received for each property to verify that they match the bid. If at the time
of a withdrawal request the Hotel and/or Tour Operator has failed to notify Taifahotels.com
staff of a payment received above the amount of his bid (a total payment
above US$100), Taifahotels.com reserves the right to deduct double the fee
for the amount that should have been reported. We believe our commissions
are very fair and justified for the service we provide, therefore we will
absolutely not tolerate any of this activity on Taifahotels.com.
