1.1 Binding Agreement: This Partner Compliance Policy (the "Policy") constitutes a binding agreement between Gate555, a division of Piramesse LLC (collectively, "Gate555," "we," "us," or "our"), and any individual or entity ("Partner," "Publisher," "you," or "your") participating in the Gate555 affiliate network.
1.2 Incorporation by Reference: This Policy is incorporated by reference into and forms an integral part of the Gate555 Partner Agreement. All Partners must comply with both the Partner Agreement and this Policy. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Partner Agreement, the more restrictive provision shall govern.
1.3 Universal Application: This Policy applies to all Partners regardless of geographic location, partnership tier, revenue volume, or traffic source methodology. No exceptions or exemptions shall be granted unless explicitly documented in writing by Gate555 senior management.
1.4 Continuing Obligation: Partners have a continuing obligation to remain informed of and comply with this Policy, including all amendments, updates, and supplemental guidelines issued by Gate555. Continued participation in the Gate555 network constitutes acceptance of all Policy terms.

3.1.2 Partners shall maintain the highest ethical standards in all interactions with Gate555, Advertisers, end-users, and other Partners.
