Eligibility for Referral Rewards
The Referrer and Referee shall be eligible for the Referral Rewards (as defined below) if such Referee is deemed a Qualified Referee. For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a “Qualified Referee” refers to a new User who has (a) registered for an account on the Interface through the referral link sent to them by the Referrer within seven (7) calendar days of clicking the referral link; (b) been accepted as a User on the Interface; and (c) successfully completed a trade on the Interface with a minimum notional value as updated from time to time in the Fee Schedule within thirty (30) calendar days of clicking the referral link (the “Referral”).
Referral Rewards
The Referrer and Qualified Referee shall be entitled to enjoy the following referral rewards (“Referral Rewards”):
Commission Fees
The Referrer shall receive a proportion of commissions charged by the Group (the “Commission Fees”) for any trades conducted by the Qualified Referee and all such persons whose referral can be ultimately traced to the Referrer (the “Referee Network”). The Referrer shall receive Commission Fees in the amount equivalent to such Referrer’s Effective Commission Base.
The Referrer’s Effective Commission Base shall be calculated as (A) 20% of the commission charged by the Group for any trades conducted by the Qualified Referee; plus (B) 10% of the commissions received by the Qualified Referee, subject to these terms and conditions, as set out in the example below:
Payment of the Commission Fees shall be made daily to the Referrer’s registered account on the Interface in the following manner:
Discount on trading fees
Qualified Referee shall be entitled to a discount of 20% on trading fees with respect to their own trades conducted on the Interface for a period of 30 days following the Referral, in the case of the Qualified Referee.
For the avoidance of doubt, the discount on trading fees Qualified Referee is entitled to at any point in time shall be capped at 20%. The Group reserves the right at its sole and absolute discretion to revise the discount amount and Discount Period from time to time.
Conduct
In addition to the restrictions agreed to by the Referrer in the Conditions, the Referrer hereby agrees that the following activities are expressly prohibited and engaging in any of these will be grounds for immediate termination and disqualification from the Program, and may lead to the forfeiture of accrued, but not yet received, Referral Rewards:
Termination
Force Majeure

Indemnification
The Referrer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Group and its representatives and agents harmless from and against any and all third party claims, demands, liabilities, costs or expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, arising from, or related to any breach by the Referrer of any of these terms and conditions or any violation by the Referrer of applicable law.
