In the case of any conflicting claims as to Sub-Affiliates, the Company reserves the right to determine the matter at its sole discretion and the Affiliate hereby agrees and accepts that the Company's determination shall be final and conclusive with no liability to any party involved.

 

 

9. Commission and Fees

9.1. The Company shall pay you the Commissions for your referral services.

The Applicable Commission Ratio can be viewed at all times on the Affiliate Program page. The Applicable Commission Ratio will be adjusted based on the number of new Clients you bring in and the total trading volume generated by such new Clients during a certain period of time. Unless as otherwise agreed in writing between you and the Company, you will be downgraded to a lower level of Applicable Commission Ratio if you fail to bring in a minimum number of Clients which, on an aggregate basis, generate a certain trading volume (as determined by the Company from time to time), during the relevant period of time. Subject to the preceding sentences, the Applicable Commission Ratio will increase as the total fees collected from the referred Clients increase. An upgrade or downgrade to the next tier of the commission plan will not lead to retroactive payments or deductions. An Affiliate is also entitled to ten percent (10%) of the Commissions paid to any of its Sub-Affiliates, subject to any of Bybit's prevailing policies and rules. For the purpose of this Section 9.1, “Other Fees” include the fees incurred by the Client due to the use of third-party trading tools, bonuses received by the Client, or other costs incurred by the Client during actual trading.

 

9.2. Unless notified by you according to Section 9.3 below, the Company's tracking report of the trading activities of your Clients and the Clients of your Sub-Affiliates and the calculation of the Commission shall be final and conclusive.

 

9.3. Should you discover any discrepancy between your own record and the Company's tracking report, you must notify the Company in writing of such discrepancy within ten (10) working days from the date of receipt of the Company's tracking report and provide sufficient detail of such discrepancy. If you fail to notify the Company in writing within ten (10) working days, then the Company's report shall be final and conclusive and you are deemed to have waived all rights to contest the report in any way.

 

9.4. For any discrepancy up to ten percent (10%), the Company and the Affiliate shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute in a prompt and mutually acceptable manner as soon as practicable. In the event of any discrepancy of more than ten percent (10%), the Affiliate hereby agrees and accepts that the Company's tracking report shall prevail and shall be final and conclusive. You hereby waive any right to challenge the Company's tracking report in any way and shall accept the calculation of the Commissions on the basis of such tracking report and shall not make any claim for any additional sum based on your own tracking. 

 

9.5. Payment of the Commissions

1. For USDT, USDC, BTC, and ETH: Payment of the Commissions will be made in the type of cryptocurrency based on the referral trade made by your Clients.

9.7. In the event that the Company has identified any abuse or irregularity in the trading activity of any Client introduced by you, the Company reserves all rights including, but not limited to, immediately suspending or terminating your Affiliate Account, at the Company's sole discretion.

 

9.8. In the event of any activity in your Affiliate Account or any other account which appears to be controlled or managed by you or any activity of your Clients being deemed suspicious or potentially in breach of any provision of these Terms, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the Company may withhold payment of the Commission(s) until it verifies the relevant transactions. If the Company determines, at its sole discretion, that the activity constitutes fraud traffic or breach of applicable law (including without limitation to any anti-money laundering regulations) or breach of any agreement between the Company and the Affiliate or the Client, as the case may be, the Company is entitled to terminate these Terms and/or to cancel, recalculate or withhold your Commissions accordingly and to recall any Commissions that have already been paid out to you.

 

9.9. In respect of any Commissions due to be recalled pursuant to Section 9.8 above, the Company is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all the Commissions subsequently accrued and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Company to or for the credit of the account of the Affiliate (including without limitation to any funds in the Affiliate's trading account with the Company, if any) against such Affiliate's Commissions due to be recalled, irrespective of whether or not the Company shall have made any demand to recall the same or taken any other steps or measures to enforce its right.
