BJF Trading Group Inc. Affiliate Program Agreement

1. Parties and acceptance

• 1.1This Affiliate Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between BJF Trading Group Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, with its office at 3397 Mistwell Crescent, Oakville, Ontario, L6L 0A2, Canada (“BJF”, “we”, “our” or “us”), and the person or legal entity that applies to or participates in the Program (the “Affiliate”, “you” or “your”).
• 1.2You accept this Agreement by submitting an application to the Program, by ticking the acceptance box in the registration form, or by using an Affiliate Link, whichever happens first. If you accept on behalf of a company, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that company.
• 1.3This Agreement consists of these numbered sections, Schedule A (White Label track) where applicable, and the current commission rates and payout methods displayed in the Affiliate Area. In case of conflict, these numbered sections prevail over the Affiliate Area, and Schedule A prevails over the numbered sections for White Label matters only.

2. Definitions

3. Enrollment and eligibility

• 3.1To join the Program you must submit a complete and accurate application in the Affiliate Area, including your legal name or company name, contact details, the websites, channels or communities where you intend to promote Products, and a valid payout method.
• 3.2We review every application and may accept or decline it at our discretion. We normally respond within one Business Day. We may decline, without giving reasons, applications from sites or channels that contain unlawful, misleading, adult, hateful or infringing content, that have no audience of their own, or that we consider incompatible with the BJF brand.
• 3.3You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher, and legally able to enter into contracts. You may hold one affiliate account only, unless we approve additional accounts in writing.
• 3.4You must keep your account details, promotional channels and payout information current. Payouts sent to the payout details on file at the time of payment are deemed correctly made.
• 3.5We may suspend or terminate an account that stays inactive (no clicks recorded) for 12 consecutive months. Approved but unpaid Commissions on such an account remain payable under section 7.

4. Affiliate Links, tracking and attribution

• 4.1On approval you receive one or more Affiliate Links in the Affiliate Area. Referrals are tracked by the Affiliate Area software through a tracking parameter, a cookie set in the visitor’s browser and, once an account is created, the customer record itself. Our tracking records are the sole basis for determining referrals and Commissions.
• 4.2Lifetime attribution. Once a Referred Customer is recorded against your account, every later Qualifying Sale by that Referred Customer is attributed to you for as long as their customer account exists and this Agreement remains in force, including purchases of add-on strategies, modules, upgrades and other Products.
• 4.3If two Affiliates claim the same customer, the Affiliate whose link was recorded first for that customer account prevails, unless our records show that the first click was generated in breach of section 8.
• 4.4Tracking can fail when a visitor blocks cookies, uses a different device or browser, clears browsing data, or types the address directly. We are not responsible for referrals that are not recorded by our tracking, and we do not attribute sales manually except where our records show a technical error on our side.
• 4.5You must not alter Affiliate Links, mask or cloak them in a way that hides the destination, or place them where a visitor could not reasonably know they are leaving your site or channel for bjftradinggroup.com.

5. Commissions

• 5.1Rate. You earn a Commission equal to 20 percent of the Net Sale Amount of each of your first five Approved Sales, and 25 percent of the Net Sale Amount of every Approved Sale from your sixth Approved Sale onward. Once reached, the 25 percent rate applies permanently for the remaining term of this Agreement. Approved Sales are counted per affiliate account, across all Products and all Referred Customers, in the order in which they become Approved Sales.
• 5.2Eligible Products. Commissions are payable on all paid Products, including one-time licenses, add-on strategies, modules and upgrades. No Commission is payable on free Products, on services invoiced outside bjftradinggroup.com, on custom development, or on White Label licenses purchased under Schedule A.
• 5.3Discounts and coupons. Where a discount, coupon or promotional price applies, the Commission is calculated on the Net Sale Amount actually received, not on the List Price.
• 5.4Self-referrals. No Commission is payable on purchases made by you, by your employees, officers, contractors or family members, by any entity you control or are employed by, or by any person acting on your instructions, whether or not the purchase is made through your Affiliate Link. Such purchases are excluded from the count of Approved Sales, and repeated self-referral is grounds for termination under section 13.3.
• 5.5Existing customers. A person who already holds a BJF customer account when they first click your Affiliate Link is not a Referred Customer, and their purchases carry no Commission.
• 5.6Product-specific rates. We may announce a different Commission rate for a specific Product or promotion in the Affiliate Area. Such a rate applies only to the Product and period stated and does not change the count of Approved Sales under section 5.1.

6. Verification Period and Approved Sales

• 6.1Every Qualifying Sale is shown in the Affiliate Area as “pending” during its Verification Period of 30 calendar days from the day the order is paid.
• 6.2A Qualifying Sale becomes an Approved Sale at the end of the Verification Period if it has not been refunded, cancelled or charged back, and if neither the sale nor the referral is, in our reasonable judgement, the result of fraud, a self-referral or a breach of this Agreement.
• 6.3If a Qualifying Sale is refunded, cancelled or charged back during the Verification Period, no Commission is payable on it and it does not count toward the five Approved Sales in section 5.1.
• 6.4If a Commission has already been paid on a sale that is later reversed by a chargeback or a refund we are legally required to make, we may deduct the amount from your next payouts or invoice you for it.

7. Payment

• 7.1Two-sale rule for the first payout. The Commission on your first Approved Sale becomes payable only when your second Qualifying Sale has also become an Approved Sale. At that point the Commissions on both sales are paid together. From your third Approved Sale onward, each Commission becomes payable as soon as its Verification Period ends. This rule ensures that the Program rewards partners who refer customers and is not used as a discount on a single purchase.
• 7.2Timing. We pay each Commission that has become payable within 10 Business Days after the day it became payable.
• 7.3Methods and currency. Payouts are made in US dollars by PayPal, bank wire or USDT (a stablecoin transfer on the network stated in the Affiliate Area), to the payout details you select in the Affiliate Area. You may change the method at any time; a change applies to payouts initiated after it is saved.
• 7.4No minimum. There is no minimum payout amount. Any Commission that has become payable is paid in full.
• 7.5Third-party fees. Fees charged by intermediary or receiving banks, by PayPal on the receiving side, or by the blockchain network for a USDT transfer are borne by you and may reduce the amount you receive. We bear the fees charged to us for sending the payment.
• 7.6Withholding and set-off. We may withhold a payout while we investigate suspected fraud or breach of this Agreement, for no longer than 60 days unless the investigation is referred to a payment provider, law-enforcement body or court. We may set off any amount you owe us under this Agreement against Commissions payable to you.
• 7.7Records and disputes. The Affiliate Area shows your clicks, Qualifying Sales, Approved Sales and payouts. If you believe a sale or payout is missing, notify us within 60 days of the date it should have appeared, with the details you have. Claims made later are waived.

8. Prohibited practices

You must not, and must not allow anyone acting for you to:

• 8.1bid on, or use as a keyword in paid search or paid social advertising, the names “BJF”, “BJF Trading Group”, “SharpTrader”, “NewsAutoTraderPro”, “VIP Crypto Arbitrage” or any other BJF product name, trademark or misspelling of them, or direct paid traffic to bjftradinggroup.com through your Affiliate Link;
• 8.2register or use a domain name, social media handle, channel name or app name that contains a BJF trademark or product name or is confusingly similar to one;
• 8.3present yourself as BJF, as an employee or official representative of BJF, or as BJF customer support, or use “official” or similar words in connection with your promotion;
• 8.4send unsolicited commercial electronic messages, including email, SMS or messenger broadcasts, that contain Affiliate Links, or post Affiliate Links in forums, comment sections, groups or communities whose rules do not permit them;
• 8.5publish or distribute Affiliate Links or coupon codes on coupon, voucher, cashback, deal-aggregator or loyalty-reward sites and apps, or offer visitors any payment, rebate or reward for purchasing through your Affiliate Link;
• 8.6use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden iframes, pop-unders, redirects, browser extensions, adware, typosquatting or any other technique that records a referral without a deliberate click by the visitor;
• 8.7make any claim about Products that is false, misleading or unsubstantiated, including promises of guaranteed income, fixed or typical returns, risk-free trading, or results that BJF has not published, or describe Products as investment, financial or brokerage services;
• 8.8alter, obscure or remove risk disclaimers, disclosures or pricing shown on bjftradinggroup.com, or copy substantial parts of bjftradinggroup.com to your own site;
• 8.9refer purchases described in section 5.4 (self-referrals), or split, stage or otherwise arrange orders to reach the sixth Approved Sale artificially;
• 8.10promote Products to persons in jurisdictions where their use or promotion is unlawful, or through content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, adult, or that infringes third-party rights.

A breach of this section entitles us to void the affected Commissions, to withhold payouts under section 7.6, and to terminate this Agreement under section 13.3.

9. Marketing materials and use of BJF marks

• 9.1We provide banners, screenshots, videos, product descriptions and other materials in the Affiliate Area (“Materials”). We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to display the Materials, and to use the BJF name, logos and product names (“BJF Marks”), solely to promote Products under this Agreement and in the form we supply them.
• 9.2You may write your own reviews, tutorials and comparisons. You must not alter the BJF Marks, combine them with other marks, or use them in a way that suggests sponsorship, partnership or endorsement beyond your status as an affiliate. We may ask you to correct or remove any content that misrepresents Products, and you must do so within five Business Days.
• 9.3You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display your name, logo and the address of your site or channel in the Affiliate Area and in lists of Program partners, for the term of this Agreement. Either party may withdraw this permission on written notice.
• 9.4On termination you must remove all Affiliate Links, Materials and BJF Marks from your sites, channels and communications within ten Business Days.

10. Disclosure, privacy and compliance with law

• 10.1You must clearly and conspicuously disclose, close to each Affiliate Link or promotional statement, that you may receive a commission from purchases made through your links, in the manner required by the consumer-protection and advertising rules of the jurisdictions you target.
• 10.2You are responsible for compliance with all laws that apply to your promotion, including anti-spam legislation (including Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation for messages sent to or from Canada), data-protection and privacy laws, advertising standards, and financial-promotion rules where they apply to software promotion.
• 10.3You must not collect personal data of visitors on our behalf, and we do not share Referred Customers’ personal data with you beyond the anonymised statistics shown in the Affiliate Area. Our processing of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy on bjftradinggroup.com.
• 10.4The Program is not open to residents of, and Products may not be promoted to persons in, countries or territories subject to comprehensive sanctions by Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Union.

11. Intellectual property and source code

• 11.1BJF and its licensors own all rights in the Products, the Materials, the BJF Marks, bjftradinggroup.com and the Affiliate Area, including all software, documentation, designs, text, images and video. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any ownership to you.
• 11.2Source code of the Products is not sold, licensed or disclosed under any track of the Program, including the White Label track. You must not copy, modify, adapt, translate, reproduce, distribute, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to derive the source code of any Product, or remove or circumvent any licensing, activation or protection mechanism, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this prohibition.
• 11.3You retain ownership of the content you create for your own sites and channels, subject to our rights in any Materials and BJF Marks it contains.

12. Confidentiality

• 12.1“Confidential Information” means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other under the Program, including partner pricing, White Label terms, License Balance details, unreleased Products, technical specifications, customer statistics and the content of the Affiliate Area. It does not include information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, that the receiving party already lawfully held, or that it independently develops.
• 12.2Each party must keep the other’s Confidential Information confidential, use it only for the Program, and disclose it only to its employees and advisers who need it and are bound by comparable obligations, or where required by law after giving the other party prompt notice where lawful.
• 12.3This section survives termination for three years, and indefinitely for source code, licensing mechanisms and trade secrets.

13. Term and termination

• 13.1This Agreement starts when we approve your application and continues until terminated under this section.
• 13.2Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason on 30 days’ written notice, by email to the addresses on file.
• 13.3We may terminate this Agreement or suspend your account immediately on written notice if you breach sections 5.4, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12, provide false information, become insolvent, or if your conduct in our reasonable opinion damages the reputation of BJF or its Products.
• 13.4Effect of termination. On termination for convenience under 13.2, Approved Sales recorded before the termination date remain payable under section 7, and Qualifying Sales still in their Verification Period are paid if they become Approved Sales. Lifetime attribution under section 4.2 ends on the termination date, and no Commission is payable on purchases made after it. On termination under 13.3, all unpaid Commissions are forfeited to the extent permitted by law.
• 13.5Sections 6.4, 7.6, 9.4, 11, 12, 13.4, 16, 17, 18 and 19 survive termination.

14. Changes to the Program and this Agreement

• 14.1We may amend this Agreement, the Commission rates, the payout methods and the Products included in the Program. We will post the amended Agreement on this page with a new version number and effective date and notify you by email or by a notice in the Affiliate Area at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
• 14.2Changes to Commission rates apply only to Qualifying Sales paid on or after the effective date of the change. Approved Sales counted toward the 25 percent rate under section 5.1 are not reset by an amendment.
• 14.3If you do not accept an amendment, you may terminate this Agreement under section 13.2 before the effective date. Continuing to use Affiliate Links after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

15. Relationship of the parties and taxes

• 15.1You and BJF are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment or exclusive relationship. You have no authority to make offers, representations or commitments on our behalf, to accept orders, or to collect payment for Products.
• 15.2You are free to promote products of other companies, and we are free to work with other affiliates and partners.
• 15.3Commissions are stated exclusive of any tax. You are responsible for all income, sales, value-added, withholding and other taxes on Commissions in your jurisdiction. We may ask you to provide tax identification or residency documents before paying, and may withhold amounts that applicable law requires us to withhold.

16. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

• 16.1The Program, the Affiliate Area, the tracking system and the Materials are provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that they will be uninterrupted or error-free, that every referral will be tracked, or that you will earn any particular amount.
• 16.2To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, data or goodwill, arising out of this Agreement, however caused.
• 16.3Our total liability to you under or in connection with this Agreement in any 12-month period is limited to the total Commissions paid or payable to you in that period. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or any liability that cannot be limited by law.

17. Indemnification

• 17.1You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless BJF and its officers, directors, employees and agents from any third-party claim, fine, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your sites, channels or content, your breach of this Agreement, your violation of law, or your use of the BJF Marks other than as permitted.

18. Governing law and disputes

• 18.1This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
• 18.2The parties will first try to resolve any dispute by good-faith discussion between their representatives within 30 days of written notice of the dispute. Any dispute not resolved in that way is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario sitting in Toronto, and each party submits to that jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property or Confidential Information.

19. General provisions

• 19.1Entire agreement. This Agreement, with Schedule A where applicable, is the entire agreement between the parties about the Program and replaces all earlier affiliate terms, including the version dated 1 January 2024.
• 19.2Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any Commission without our written consent. We may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or a successor of our business on notice to you.
• 19.3Notices. Notices to us must be sent to support@bjftradinggroup.com or to our postal address in section 1.1. Notices to you are sent to the email address in your Affiliate Area profile and are deemed received one Business Day after sending.
• 19.4Severability and waiver. If any provision is held invalid, the rest of the Agreement remains in force and the provision is replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its intent. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• 19.5Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations already due.
• 19.6Language. This Agreement is written in English. Translations are provided for convenience only, and the English version prevails.

Schedule A: White Label track

This Schedule applies only to an Affiliate that we have accepted in writing as a White Label Partner. Sections 1 to 19 of the Agreement apply to White Label Partners, except where this Schedule states otherwise.

A1. Definitions

A2. Deposit and License Balance

• A2.1Before rebranding begins, the White Label Partner deposits a minimum of US $10,000 with BJF. The deposit is credited to the License Balance. It is not a fee, and no part of it is payment for the rebranding work itself, which BJF performs at its own cost within the agreed Rebranding Specification.
• A2.2The White Label Partner may top up the License Balance at any time by any amount. The Partner Price does not change with the size of the deposit or top-up.
• A2.3The License Balance is held in US dollars, bears no interest, and may be used only to pay for End-User Licenses. It may not be assigned, transferred or used for Products bought through the Affiliate track.
• A2.4On termination of this Schedule, any unused License Balance remains available for End-User Licenses for 12 months after the termination date and is thereafter forfeited, except where termination results from BJF’s uncured material breach, in which case the unused balance is refunded within 30 days.

A3. Ordering and activating End-User Licenses

• A3.1The White Label Partner sells Branded Builds to its own customers, under its own name, at a retail price it sets freely, and collects payment from those customers itself. BJF has no contractual relationship with the White Label Partner’s customers and receives no part of the retail price beyond the Partner Price.
• A3.2For every copy sold, the White Label Partner reports the number of End-User Licenses required and the licensing details BJF needs for activation. BJF activates the End-User Licenses, normally within one Business Day, and deducts the Partner Price for each from the License Balance.
• A3.3If the License Balance is insufficient for a requested activation, BJF may decline the activation until the balance is topped up.
• A3.4End-User Licenses are subject to the same licence terms, activation mechanism and usage limits as the corresponding BJF Product. The White Label Partner must pass those terms on to its customers and must not grant rights that BJF does not grant.
• A3.5Purchases under this Schedule are not Qualifying Sales and earn no Commission under section 5.

A4. What BJF provides and retains

• A4.1BJF performs the rebranding described in the Rebranding Specification, delivers the Branded Build, and supplies updates to it on the same schedule as the corresponding BJF Product, for as long as this Schedule is in force.
• A4.2BJF provides technical support, training videos and licence activation for Branded Builds. Unless the parties agree otherwise in the Rebranding Specification, the White Label Partner handles first-line contact with its customers and BJF handles technical questions escalated to it.
• A4.3Licensing, activation and protection mechanisms remain under BJF’s control at all times. BJF retains all rights in the Products and Branded Builds. Source code is not provided under this Schedule, and section 11.2 applies in full.
• A4.4BJF may decline to rebrand a Product, or to include a feature in a Branded Build, where doing so would breach a third-party right, a legal restriction or an existing exclusivity.

A5. White Label Partner obligations

• A5.1The White Label Partner is solely responsible for its own marketing, pricing, invoicing, taxes, customer contracts, refunds and compliance with the laws of the markets it sells into, and sections 8 and 10 apply to its promotion of Branded Builds as they apply to Products.
• A5.2The White Label Partner must not represent Branded Builds as its own development beyond the branding, must not claim ownership of the underlying software, and must not disclose the Partner Price or the terms of this Schedule.
• A5.3The White Label Partner warrants that it owns or has the right to use the branding assets it supplies, and indemnifies BJF under section 17 for any claim that those assets infringe third-party rights.

A6. Term of the Schedule

• A6.1This Schedule starts on the date BJF confirms acceptance of the deposit and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate it on 60 days’ written notice; BJF may terminate it immediately under section 13.3.
• A6.2On termination, End-User Licenses already activated remain valid for their term, BJF continues to provide support for them for 12 months, and the White Label Partner stops selling Branded Builds on the termination date. A2.4 governs the unused License Balance.
