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 from time to time decided by the Company, during the relevant period of time.

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.

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.
