1. Scope and contract parties
These Referral & Coupon Terms are between you and Alterego Agent Ltd trading as ForceTrend.com. They govern optional referral coupons, invite links, referral attribution, direct commission, limited secondary attribution, payout requests and promotional conduct connected with ForceTrend.com.
These terms supplement the Terms of Service, Coupon Terms, Privacy Policy and Risk Notice. If there is a conflict about referral commissions or coupon promotion, these Referral & Coupon Terms apply first. All other service use remains governed by the Terms of Service.
2. Acceptance, eligibility and account status
Registration requires express acceptance of these Referral & Coupon Terms because referral tools, coupon codes or attribution features may be available inside user accounts. Accepting these terms does not require any user to promote ForceTrend.com, share links, use coupons, send invitations or participate in affiliate activity.
We may refuse, suspend, limit or end referral coupon access, deactivate coupons, withhold payout during review, or require additional information where needed for fraud prevention, legal compliance, tax/accounting records, sanctions screening, platform safety or breach investigation.
You must have legal capacity to enter into this contract and must provide accurate account, contact, tax and bank information. You must keep your login details secure and must not operate duplicate or nominee accounts to increase commission.
3. Current admin-configured programme values
The values below are read from the current administrator settings. Individual admin-created coupons may use different buyer discount or direct commission values, and the value shown in your coupon dashboard or assigned coupon record controls that coupon.
We may unilaterally modify the default buyer discount, direct commission, limited secondary attribution, payout threshold, invite cooldown, coupon-specific discount or commission values and related programme settings prospectively. The current admin-configured value recorded for the relevant coupon, transaction or coupon dashboard controls the calculation unless a correction is required for refunds, chargebacks, fraud, legal compliance, accounting correction or system error.
| Setting | Current value | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Default buyer discount | 10% | Default discount for automatically generated referral coupons unless an admin changes the coupon. |
| Default direct referral commission | 10% | Default direct commission for automatically generated referral coupons unless an admin changes the coupon. |
| Limited secondary attribution | 10% | Percentage of approved direct commission tied to verified paid subscription fees, where limited secondary attribution applies. |
| Minimum payout request | 100.00 USD | Minimum available approved commission balance required before a payout request can be submitted. |
| Invite cooldown | 1 day | Minimum wait before the same account can send another invitation through the built-in invite feature. |
4. Direct commission
Direct commission is recorded only when the system records a verified paid ForceTrend.com subscription fee attributed to your assigned coupon or to a buyer already attributed to your referral account. The commission is calculated from the admin-configured coupon setting, or from the commission value shown in your coupon dashboard.
If the direct commission is percentage-based, the system calculates it on the actual net subscription fee recorded for the completed transaction. If the direct commission is fixed, the fixed amount recorded on the coupon applies. Commission is not earned on registrations, clicks, invitations, account creation, partner recruitment, failed payments, cancelled orders, unpaid invoices, free access with no recorded commission, test transactions, your own purchases, fraudulent transactions or purchases later reversed.
5. Buyer attribution
When a buyer completes a first verified paid subscription purchase with a valid referral coupon or invite-linked coupon, the system may store a buyer-to-referral-account relationship. Later paid subscription purchases by that buyer may continue to credit the same referral account even if the buyer does not enter the coupon again.
A later coupon normally does not replace the first stored referral attribution. We may correct, remove or reassign attribution where there is fraud, technical error, self-referral, duplicate account activity, misuse, chargeback risk, or clear evidence that the stored attribution is wrong.
6. Limited secondary attribution
If enabled, limited secondary attribution may apply only to verified paid ForceTrend.com subscription fees. It is calculated at the current admin-configured rate of 10% of approved direct commission.
No commission is paid for recruiting partners, creating accounts, sending invitations, clicks, registrations or non-paying users. The programme is not a multi-level marketing scheme, pyramid scheme, investment opportunity or get-rich-quick programme. Any secondary attribution is capped, limited and based only on real paid subscription revenue. There is no third-level, downline, recruitment-only, registration-only or passive entitlement commission.
Limited secondary attribution may be withheld, reduced or reversed where the related direct commission is withheld, reduced or reversed, or where the underlying buyer payment, referral account or promotional activity breaches these terms.
7. Payout requests and payment timing
You must provide accurate bank details before requesting payout. The current minimum payout request threshold is 100.00 USD. Approved payout requests are normally processed within 30 days after approval, but may be delayed for review, fraud checks, banking issues, sanctions checks, identity or tax questions, chargeback windows of up to 60 days, incomplete details or legal compliance.
We may set off negative balances, reversed commission, refunds, chargebacks, bank fees, duplicate payouts or other amounts owed to us against future commission. Commission balances do not bear interest. You are responsible for bank fees, intermediary bank charges, exchange-rate differences and any missing or incorrect bank details you provide.
8. Taxes and records
You are responsible for all taxes, social security, VAT/GST/sales tax, reporting, registrations, invoices and declarations connected with your referral coupon commission. We may request tax residency, identity, business, VAT, invoice or other compliance information before approving or paying commission.
Referral commission is recorded for accounting purposes when the system validates the relevant checkout and payment. We may adjust records to reflect refunds, chargebacks, accounting corrections, legal requirements or clear system errors.
9. Advertising, disclosure and financial-promotion rules
You must clearly disclose your affiliate relationship wherever you promote ForceTrend.com. Where required, use prominent labels such as "Ad", "Advertisement" or "Affiliate link" and comply with the UK CAP Code, ASA guidance, consumer protection law, platform rules, email marketing rules and all local laws that apply to your audience.
You must describe ForceTrend.com as informational market-news analytics only. You must not provide investment advice, personal recommendations, trading instructions, "buy", "sell", "hold" or "short" calls, guaranteed return claims, profit guarantees, misleading backtest claims, FCA-authorisation claims, or statements suggesting that the service predicts markets with certainty.
You must not communicate or approve any financial promotion on our behalf. If your promotion could be treated as an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity, you are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal or regulatory advice before publishing it.
10. Prohibited conduct
You must not use self-referrals, artificial purchases, duplicate accounts, bots, stolen payment methods, misleading reviews, hidden redirects, cookie stuffing, fake urgency, spam, unsolicited bulk messaging, undisclosed paid promotions, unlawful email lists, malware, forced redirects, brand impersonation, unauthorised paid search bidding, misleading domain names, unauthorised use of our intellectual property, or content that is unlawful, discriminatory, abusive, deceptive or harmful.
You must not claim that you are employed by us, authorised to bind us, authorised by the FCA, providing regulated advice for us, or able to offer special pricing, refunds, guarantees or contractual promises unless we have expressly confirmed that in writing.
11. Monitoring, reversal and termination
We may monitor referral coupon activity, request evidence of traffic sources, require changes to promotional materials, remove unlawful or misleading promotions, suspend tracking, reverse commission, reject payout requests, close referral coupon features or terminate referral coupon access where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached or legal/compliance risk exists.
We may unilaterally change commission settings, buyer discount settings, payout thresholds, coupon rules, invite cooldowns, referral coupon features and programme availability prospectively. Already approved commission records are not reduced merely because a future setting changes, but they may be corrected for refunds, chargebacks, fraud, legal requirements, accounting correction or system error.
12. No agency, employment or partnership
Use of referral coupon features does not create employment, worker status, partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary duty, agency, authority to bind us, or a right to represent that you provide financial advice or regulated services on our behalf. You act independently and at your own cost and risk.
13. Liability and indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost commission, lost profits, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, indirect loss, consequential loss, platform bans, advertising account restrictions, tax consequences or third-party claims arising from your promotional activity. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
You must indemnify us against losses, claims, fines, penalties, chargebacks, legal costs and regulatory costs arising from your unlawful, misleading or unauthorised promotion, breach of these Referral & Coupon Terms, tax non-compliance, intellectual-property infringement, data-protection breach, spam or financial-promotion breach.
14. English law
These Referral & Coupon Terms and any non-contractual disputes are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except where mandatory law gives you rights in another jurisdiction that cannot be excluded.
