This updated Affiliate Program Agreement takes effect on 20 November 2026. Until then, the earlier version applies.
Last updated: 20 October 2026
1.1 In this Agreement:
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Affiliate Link / Referral Code | The unique tracking link and code we issue to you, used to attribute Referred Customers to you. The code applies tracking only and gives the customer no discount. |
| Approved Commission | Commission that has passed the holding period in clause 4.1 and is not subject to clawback or to a withholding under clause 4.6. |
| Business day | A day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Adelaide, South Australia. |
| Commission | The amount payable to you under clause 3. |
| Net Subscription Revenue | The subscription Fee actually received and retained by us from a Referred Customer, excluding any tax, refund, chargeback, reversal or credit, and any amount not received because of a discount or complimentary grant. Payment processing fees are not deducted. |
| Qualifying Payment | A subscription payment from a Referred Customer that forms part of Net Subscription Revenue, is not a $0 invoice, and has not been refunded, reversed or charged back. |
| Referred Customer | A person who signs up for the Service with your Referral Code recorded against their Account under clause 3.3, who was not already a registered user, and whose signup is valid under this Agreement. |
| Terms | Our Terms and Conditions published at /termsandconditions. |
1.2 Capitalised terms not defined in this Agreement have the meaning given in the Terms. clause 2.1 of the Terms (interpretation) applies to this Agreement. "Written" and "in writing" include email.
1.3 Relationship with the Terms. This Agreement governs your participation in the Program. clause 17 of the Terms summarises the Program. If this Agreement and clause 17 of the Terms are inconsistent, this Agreement prevails on any matter concerning your participation in the Program, and until we correct the inconsistency we will apply whichever of the two is more favourable to you. The rest of the Terms (including the Risk Disclosure in clause 22 of the Terms) and the Privacy Policy continue to apply to you as a User of the Service.
1.4 Standard terms and individual arrangements. The commission rate, duration and payment terms in this Agreement are the standard terms of the Program and apply to every Affiliate who joins through the self-service signup. We may agree different terms with a particular Affiliate, but only in a written document sent or signed by us that refers to this Agreement. Those terms apply only to that Affiliate, and this Agreement applies to that Affiliate in all other respects.
2.1 To participate you must: be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract; not be habitually resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland (Terms clause 4.2); not be subject to the Sanctions Laws (Terms clause 4.3.1); and be able to lawfully receive Commission payments where you are located.
2.2 We may accept or decline any application at our discretion and without giving reasons. Approval is personal to you and not transferable. You may hold only one affiliate account.
2.3 You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us, including your name, email address, ABN (if any) and the bank account details for Commission payments, and for keeping it current.
2.4 Changes to the Program. We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Program, or change this Agreement, by notice to you by email or in your affiliate dashboard. We will give at least 30 days' notice of any change that reduces your commission rate, duration or payment terms, and at least 14 days' notice of any other change that is materially adverse to you. Minor changes and clarifications may take effect on notice. If you do not accept a change, you may end this Agreement under clause 10.2 before the change takes effect. A change never affects Commission already earned on Qualifying Payments received before the change takes effect. Continued participation after a change takes effect is acceptance of it.
3.1 Rate and duration. Subject to this Agreement, you earn Commission of 15% of the Net Subscription Revenue from each Referred Customer, for a maximum of six (6) paid months per Referred Customer, beginning with that customer's first paid billing period.
3.1.1 Monthly billing. Commission is earned on each of the first six monthly Qualifying Payments made by the Referred Customer.
3.1.2 Annual billing. Because an annual Fee covers twelve months, the six-month entitlement is applied as 50% of the annual Fee. Commission is therefore 15% of 50% of the annual Qualifying Payment, paid once. No further Commission is payable on that customer's later annual renewals.
3.1.3 Switching. If a Referred Customer switches between monthly and annual billing, or between Plans, during their commissionable period, Commission continues only until the six-month entitlement is used. An annual Qualifying Payment made after one or more monthly Qualifying Payments earns Commission on the fraction of 50% of the annual Fee that matches the unused months (for example, after two monthly payments, 4/6 of 50% of the annual Fee).
3.1.4 All amounts are in Australian dollars (AUD). Worked examples, at prices current on the date above:
| Referred Plan | Commissionable Base | Commission Payable |
|---|---|---|
| Basic monthly — $12 | 6 x $12 = $72.00 | $10.80 (paid across 6 months) |
| Basic annual — $109 | 50% x $109 = $54.50 | $8.18 (paid once) |
| Pro monthly — $19 | 6 x $19 = $114.00 | $17.10 (paid across 6 months) |
| Pro annual — $189 | 50% x $189 = $94.50 | $14.18 (paid once) |
| Elite monthly — $29 | 6 x $29 = $174.00 | $26.10 (paid across 6 months) |
| Elite annual — $249 | 50% x $249 = $124.50 | $18.68 (paid once) |
3.1.5 The examples are illustrative. Commission is always calculated on the Qualifying Payment actually received, and is rounded to the nearest cent, with halves rounded up.
3.2 No Commission is payable on: free trials that do not convert; the A$7 trial fee (the Trial Fee in the Terms) charged to start a paid trial, which is not a billing period and earns no Commission and uses up none of the six months; the Free Plan; a No-Plan Account (as defined in the Terms); complimentary access; $0 invoices; any period for which no payment is received; your own Fees; or any payment that is refunded, reversed or charged back.
3.3 Attribution. A customer is attributed to you only where your Referral Code is recorded against the customer's Account — because the customer arrived through your Affiliate Link or entered your Referral Code — and remains recorded when the customer completes checkout. If more than one code could apply, the code recorded at checkout prevails. We do not attribute Commission on the basis of claimed influence, assisted conversions, or any other tracking method. Our records of attribution are the starting point for any question about it; if you disagree with them, clause 4.8 applies.
3.4 Clawback. If a Qualifying Payment on which Commission was calculated is later refunded, reversed, charged back, or found to have been obtained by fraud or in breach of the Terms or this Agreement, the related Commission is void. We may cancel it if unpaid, set it off against current or future Commission, or, if no future Commission is expected, ask you in writing to repay it within 30 days.
3.5 No Commission is payable where: the signup resulted from a prohibited promotional method (clause 6); the Referred Customer is you, an account you control, a member of your household, or a person acting in concert with you (clause 6.2); the customer cancels before any Qualifying Payment; or the referral was obtained in breach of this Agreement.
4.1 Holding period. Commission is provisional when the related Qualifying Payment is received. It becomes Approved Commission 14 days after that payment is received. This applies to every Qualifying Payment, not only the first.
4.2 Minimum threshold. Approved Commission accrues to your affiliate balance. We pay it when your balance of Approved Commission reaches AUD $50. Balances below AUD $50 roll over to later months until the threshold is reached.
4.3 Schedule, method and currency. Once the threshold is met, we pay your balance of Approved Commission within 30 days after the end of the calendar month in which it was met, monthly in arrears, by bank transfer in AUD to the account details you provide, unless we agree another method in writing. You are responsible for any fees charged by your bank or receiving provider, and for any currency-conversion cost if your account is not in AUD. We are not liable for a payment that fails or goes astray because of incorrect details you supplied.
4.4 Taxes. You are solely responsible for all taxes on Commission you receive, including income tax and, if applicable, GST or any equivalent tax in your own country. Commission is paid exclusive of any such tax unless you are registered for GST and we agree otherwise in writing. You must give us any tax information we reasonably require, including your ABN if you have one. If you do not provide an ABN where one is required, we may be required by law to withhold tax from a payment and pay it to the Australian Taxation Office. If you are located outside Australia, you are responsible for any taxes, withholding and reporting obligations that apply where you are located.
4.5 Records. You can see your referrals, Commission and payouts in your affiliate dashboard. We keep records of attribution, Commission and payments for at least 5 years.
4.6 Right to withhold pending investigation. If we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, self-referral, fake, incentivised or bot-generated signups, manipulation of tracking, a breach of this Agreement, or other activity that is artificial or inconsistent with genuine promotion, we may withhold the Commission reasonably connected with the suspected activity while we investigate. Where the suspected activity reasonably calls into question all of your referrals, we may withhold all Commission owed to you. We will tell you in writing that we are withholding Commission and why (unless doing so would prejudice the investigation or breach the law), and we will complete our investigation within 60 days unless we tell you why more time is reasonably needed.
4.6.1 If we determine, reasonably and on the information available, that the activity was fraudulent, abusive or in breach of this Agreement, the affected Commission is forfeited and we may terminate your participation under clause 10.2. If we determine that it was not, we will pay the withheld Commission at the next payment run, regardless of the threshold in clause 4.2.
4.6.2 We are not liable to you for Commission withheld in good faith under clause 4.6, but our determination may be disputed under clause 14.2.
4.7 Inactive balances. If your balance remains below the threshold and you have made no referrals for 12 consecutive months, we may close your affiliate account and forfeit the residual balance, after giving you 30 days' notice and an opportunity to be paid out.
4.8 Queries. If you believe any attribution, Commission figure or payment is wrong, you must tell us within 90 days after it first appears in your dashboard or on your payment. We will review it and respond under clause 14.2.
5.1 Mandatory disclosure. You must clearly, prominently and upfront disclose your commercial relationship with us in every post, video, story, message or other promotion of the Service. Disclosure must be immediately obvious to a reasonable consumer — for example a clear "#ad", "#sponsored", or a plain-language statement that you earn a commission. You must not bury the disclosure at the end of long captions, hide it among unrelated hashtags, use vague or made-up labels, or place it only in your bio. This reflects your obligations under the Australian Consumer Law and ACCC guidance, and is a condition of participation.
5.2 No misleading or deceptive conduct. You must not make any false, misleading, deceptive, exaggerated or unsubstantiated claim about the Service, its features, results or pricing. You must only make claims that are accurate and that you genuinely believe, and you must have actually used the Service to the extent you represent that you have. You must not publish a fabricated review, testimonial or endorsement.
5.3 No financial advice or promised outcomes. The Service is a journaling and analytics tool and is not financial, investment or trading advice. In promoting the Service you must not: (a) represent that the Service provides financial or trading advice, signals, recommendations or alerts; (b) promise or imply any trading profit, return, evaluation pass, "guaranteed funding" or other financial outcome from using it; (c) present your own trading results, or anyone else's, as having been produced, verified or endorsed by the Service or by us; or (d) provide financial product advice or hold yourself out as licensed to do so unless you are in fact appropriately licensed or authorised. You must not say anything that contradicts the Risk Disclosure in clause 22 of the Terms, and you must not create the impression that we endorse any claim you make.
5.4 No claims on our behalf. You may describe the Service accurately, but you must not make commitments, warranties or representations on our behalf, or hold yourself out as our agent, employee, partner or spokesperson.
5.5 Audience. You must not promote the Service to persons under 18, or in content targeted at persons under 18, and you must not target promotion at persons in the restricted regions listed in clause 2.1.
5.6 Corrections. If we reasonably ask you to correct, amend or remove any promotional content that we believe breaches this Agreement or the law, you must do so within 2 business days of our request, or sooner if we reasonably tell you the matter is urgent.
6.1 You must not promote the Service through: unsolicited email, SMS or messaging, or any other means in breach of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) or equivalent law; purchased, incentivised, fake or bot-generated clicks or signups; cookie stuffing, forced clicks, adware, typosquatting or other tracking manipulation; automated or misleading redirects; or any unlawful, deceptive or harmful method.
6.2 No self-referral. You must not use your own Affiliate Link or Referral Code to sign up yourself, an account you own or control, a member of your household, or any party acting in concert with you. Self-referrals are prohibited, are blocked where detected, and earn no Commission. Attempting them is a material breach.
6.3 No incentives. You must not offer cash back, rebates, gifts or other incentives to people for using your Referral Code or Affiliate Link, unless we have agreed to it in writing.
6.4 No trade mark misuse or brand bidding. You must not: bid on our trade marks, brand name, domain, or close variants or misspellings of them in paid search or other paid advertising, or use them in a display URL or ad headline; register or use domain names, social media handles, app names or usernames that include our brand or could be confused with us; or imply that you are an official channel of The Trading Terminal.
6.5 You must not place promotion of the Service alongside content that is unlawful, adult, hateful, harassing, or otherwise reasonably likely to harm our reputation.
6.6 You must comply with all applicable laws and with the rules and policies of any platform on which you promote (for example Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, YouTube), including their disclosure and advertising rules.
6.7 Affiliates outside Australia. The Service is operated from Australia. If you are located or promote outside Australia (and outside the restricted regions in clause 2.1), you must also comply with the advertising, disclosure, consumer-protection and tax laws of your own jurisdiction — for example, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement rules. Where your local rules are stricter than this Agreement, you must meet the stricter standard. You are solely responsible for determining and meeting your local obligations.
7.1 We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable licence to use our name, logo and marketing assets solely to promote the Service in accordance with this Agreement and any brand guidelines we provide.
7.2 You must not alter our logos, colours or marks, or create derivative or modified versions. You must use only the assets and approved forms we make available.
7.3 All intellectual property in the Service and our brand remains ours. This Agreement grants no ownership interest. The licence ends automatically on termination, and you must then promptly remove our marks and your Affiliate Links from your channels.
7.4 You must not use the name, image, results or words of any customer of the Service, or anything we have published as a testimonial, in your promotion without our written consent.
8.1 You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, agency or franchise relationship between you and us. You have no authority to bind us or incur obligations on our behalf.
8.2 You are responsible for your own expenses, taxes, equipment and the manner in which you promote the Service (within the limits of this Agreement). You are not entitled to any leave, superannuation or other employee benefit from us.
9.1 You may receive non-public information about us (for example, unreleased features, metrics, pricing plans or Program data). You must keep it confidential, use it only to perform this Agreement, and not disclose it, during and after the Program.
9.2 clause 9.1 does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of yours, that you already lawfully held, or that you are legally required to disclose.
9.3 You will not receive personal information about Referred Customers. You must not attempt to identify, contact or obtain information about a Referred Customer through the Program. We handle your personal information under our Privacy Policy, including clause 3.7.
10.1 This Agreement starts when you accept it and continues until terminated.
10.2 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, on written notice (email is sufficient).
10.3 Suspension. We may suspend your participation immediately, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached this Agreement, engaged in fraud or prohibited conduct, or created legal or reputational risk for us. We will tell you the reason as soon as practicable, unless the law or an investigation prevents it, and clause 4.6 applies to Commission during the suspension.
10.4 Effect of termination. On termination: your right to use our marks and Affiliate Links ends immediately and you must remove them; your Referral Code is deactivated; and no new Commission accrues on Qualifying Payments received after the effective date of termination.
10.5 Commission on termination. If this Agreement ends other than because of your breach, fraud or prohibited conduct, all Approved Commission — and all Commission that becomes Approved Commission after the holding period in clause 4.1 for Qualifying Payments received before termination — is paid at the next payment run, regardless of the threshold in clause 4.2. If this Agreement ends because of your breach, fraud or prohibited conduct, Commission connected with that breach, fraud or conduct is forfeited, and clause 4.6 applies to any other Commission.
10.6 Clauses 3.4, 4.4, 4.6, 7.3, 9, 10.5, 11, 12, 13 and 14 survive termination, together with any other clause that by its nature is intended to survive.
11.1 The Program and the Service are provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranty, express or implied, about the Program, the Service, expected earnings, conversion rates, or the availability or accuracy of tracking. Nothing in this Agreement excludes rights or guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law; where such rights apply, our liability is limited to the minimum permitted by law.
11.2 We do not guarantee any level of traffic, signups or earnings. Your results depend on your own efforts and on factors outside our control.
12.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill or data, arising out of or in connection with the Program or this Agreement.
12.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement is limited to the greater of the total Commission paid or payable to you in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and AUD $100.
12.3 clause 12 does not limit our obligation to pay Commission validly earned under this Agreement, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
13.1 You indemnify us against any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal costs) arising from: your participation in the Program; your promotional conduct or content; your breach of this Agreement; your failure to make required disclosures; any misleading, deceptive or unsubstantiated claim you make; your infringement of any third party's rights; or your breach of any applicable law or platform rule.
13.2 This indemnity is reduced proportionately to the extent our own negligence or breach contributed to the loss. We will notify you promptly of any claim to which it applies and will not settle it without your consent, which must not be unreasonably withheld.
13.3 We may set off any amount you owe us under this Agreement against Commission payable to you, after giving you written notice of the amount and the reason.
14.1 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia, and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Australia and the courts competent to hear appeals from them.
14.2 Disputes. Before commencing formal proceedings, you agree to raise any dispute with us by support ticket or at support.thetradingterminal@gmail.com, setting out the issue and the outcome you are seeking. We will acknowledge within 5 business days and will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief. Each party bears its own costs of this process.
14.3 Changes. clause 2.4 governs changes to this Agreement.
14.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without our written consent. We may assign or novate it, including on a sale of the business, on notice to you, provided the assignee assumes our obligations to you, including to pay Commission already earned.
14.5 Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the Terms and any written individual arrangement under clause 1.4, is the entire agreement between the parties about the Program and replaces all earlier versions and understandings.
14.6 Severability and waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, it is read down or severed and the rest remains in effect. A failure or delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it, and a waiver is effective only if given in writing.
14.7 Notices. Notices to you may be sent to the email address associated with your affiliate account or displayed in your affiliate dashboard. Notices to us must be sent to support.thetradingterminal@gmail.com. Notice is taken to be given on the day it is sent, unless sent after 5:00pm Adelaide time, in which case it is taken to be given on the next business day.
14.8 Force majeure. clause 21.6 of the Terms applies to this Agreement, except that it does not excuse an obligation to pay money.
14.9 Our discretions. Where this Agreement gives us a right, discretion or power to decide something, we will exercise it reasonably, in good faith, and for a legitimate business purpose.
