Important Disclaimers
The Upcomers platform operates exclusively within a SIMULATED AND EDUCATIONAL TRADING ENVIRONMENT. All trading accounts provided through the platform utilize virtual capital. No actual trades are executed on live financial markets. The Provider is not a brokerage firm, not an exchange, not a financial institution, and does not accept deposits or permit real-world financial transactions through the platform.
The Program is a referral and marketing program only. It does not create an employment relationship, agency, partnership, franchise, joint venture, financial service arrangement, or investment relationship between the parties.
No Guarantee of Earnings. Participation in the Program does not guarantee any level of income, commissions, bonuses, referrals, or financial return. Any earnings depend entirely on the Affiliate's own promotional efforts and the independent purchasing decisions and subsequent activity of third parties. Past commission earnings, whether the Affiliate's own or those of other Affiliates, are not indicative of future results.
Testimonials and Examples. Any testimonials, illustrations, case studies, or commission examples relating to the Program are provided for informational purposes only. They do not represent typical results and must not be treated as a guarantee or indication of future performance.

2.3. Upon successful enrollment, the system will automatically generate a unique Affiliate Code for you.
2.4. You may optionally enter an existing Affiliate's code as your parent code during enrollment. If you do so, you will become part of that Affiliate's Network. This Network relationship is fixed at the time of enrollment and cannot later be changed, transferred, or reassigned.
2.5. Participation in the Program does not prevent you from using other Upcomers Services as a customer or trader, provided you remain in compliance with all applicable terms and policies.
2.6. The Program is non-exclusive. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you may participate in or promote other businesses, including competitors, provided that you comply with these Affiliate Terms and applicable law.
2.7. By providing us with an identification number, tax registration number, VAT number, company information, or otherwise indicating that you are acting as a business or legal entity during enrollment or communication, you acknowledge that you may be treated as an entrepreneur rather than a consumer, and consumer protections may not apply to your participation in the Program to the extent permitted by applicable law.
3. Affiliate Codes and Referral Mechanism
3.1. Each Affiliate receives one automatically generated Affiliate Code upon enrollment. The default format is four uppercase letters followed by four digits (e.g., ABCD1234).
3.2. Affiliates may create one or more Custom Codes, subject to the following requirements: (a) between 2 and 50 characters in length; (b) lowercase alphanumeric characters, underscores, and dots only; (c) must contain at least one letter; (d) must be unique across the platform.
3.3. Where a customer applies an Affiliate Code or Custom Code at checkout, the customer receives a discount of 5 percentage points on top of any existing discount applicable to the product at the time of purchase, unless otherwise stated by the Provider.
3.4. Unless otherwise specified by the Provider, referral codes have the following default properties: (a) one use per customer account; (b) usable on the customer's first order only; (c) no expiration date; (d) no minimum order amount. The Provider may adjust these settings from time to time.
3.5. Affiliates may not use their own Affiliate Code or Custom Code to place orders for themselves. Any such attempted use may be rejected automatically and may also be treated as abusive conduct.
3.6. Referral attribution is determined per order. Each completed order generates Commission, if any, for the Affiliate whose code was used on that specific order. There is no permanent customer ownership or exclusive attribution. A customer may use different affiliates' codes on different orders.
3.7. Affiliate Codes and Custom Codes may be shared through any lawful channel, including websites, blogs, social media, communities, podcasts, educational content, video content, and personal referrals, provided that all promotion remains compliant with these Affiliate Terms and applicable law.
4. Commission Structure
The Program provides the following categories of Commission: Direct Commissions, Network Bonuses, and Reward Split Commissions.
4.1 Direct Commissions
4.1.1. Direct Commissions are earned when an Eligible Customer places a completed order using the Affiliate's code. The commission rate depends on that customer's global referral order count across all affiliates: 50% on the 1st referral order, 35% on the 2nd, 20% on the 3rd, 10% on the 4th, and 5% on the 5th and all subsequent referral orders.
4.1.2. Direct Commissions are calculated as a percentage of the total order value in USD.
4.1.3. The applicable tier is determined by the customer's total number of completed referral-code orders across the platform, not only by orders placed through the Affiliate's own code.
4.2 Network Bonuses
4.2.1. Network Bonuses are earned on qualifying customer orders generated through the Affiliate's Network, up to three levels deep: 8% at Level 1 (direct Sub-Affiliate's customer orders), 5% at Level 2 (Level 1 Sub-Affiliate's customer orders), and 3% at Level 3 (Level 2 Sub-Affiliate's customer orders).
4.2.2. Network Bonuses become available only after the Affiliate meets both of the following thresholds simultaneously: (a) at least 50 completed orders from Eligible Customers; and (b) at least 30 unique Eligible Customers.
4.2.3. Once unlocked, Network Bonuses remain available unless the Affiliate's participation is suspended, terminated, or otherwise restricted under these Affiliate Terms.
4.2.4. Network Bonuses are calculated on the same base amount as Direct Commissions (the total order value in USD).
4.2.5. No Network Bonus is generated beyond the third level.
4.3 Reward Split Commissions
4.3.1. Reward Split Commissions are earned when an Eligible Customer originally referred through the Affiliate's code later becomes a funded trader and receives profit withdrawals under the relevant Upcomers program. Reward Split Commissions begin only from the customer's 4th global payout onwards: 15% on the 4th payout, 5% on the 5th, 3% on the 6th, and 1% on the 7th and all subsequent payouts. No Reward Split Commission is generated on the customer's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd payout.
4.3.2. Reward Split Commissions are calculated as a percentage of the customer's profit share amount in USD.
4.3.3. Attribution for Reward Split Commissions is traced through the customer's funded trading account to the original qualifying purchase order and the Affiliate whose code was used on that order.
4.3.4. Reward Split Commissions do not apply to Fixed Research Incentives awarded under the Breakout Program Terms and Conditions or any similar non-trading-based compensation that the Provider designates as excluded.
4.4 General Commission Provisions
4.4.1. The Provider may amend Commission rates, eligibility rules, structures, or mechanics from time to time with reasonable notice.
4.4.2. Changes apply prospectively only and do not affect Commissions already earned or already in the pending clearance period before the effective date of the change.
4.4.3. The Provider may introduce new Commission categories, adjust existing ones, or discontinue categories where reasonably necessary for operational, commercial, legal, compliance, or anti-abuse reasons.
5. Commission Lifecycle and Payouts
5.1. All Commissions and bonuses follow the following lifecycle:
5.1.1. Pending: When generated, the amount enters a 30-day clearance period and cannot be withdrawn.
5.1.2. Available: Once the clearance period expires and the amount has not been cancelled or reversed, it becomes available in the Balance Ledger and may be withdrawn.
5.1.3. Cancelled: A Commission may be cancelled or reversed in accordance with Article 6.
5.2. The 30-day clearance period exists to account for chargebacks, refunds, payment disputes, fraud checks, compliance reviews, technical reconciliation, and similar risks affecting referral validity.
5.3. Amounts shown as available in the Balance Ledger may be withdrawn using the withdrawal methods made available by the Provider, subject to any applicable minimum withdrawal threshold, verification requirement, processing timeframe, and fee.
5.4. The Provider processes clearance and withdrawals on an automated and operational basis. Minor delays may occur due to technical, compliance, operational, or payment-provider reasons, and the Provider shall not be liable for any such delays.
5.5. Available withdrawal methods, minimum withdrawal amounts, expected processing times, and any applicable fees will be published on the Website or otherwise communicated through the Affiliate dashboard.
5.6. All Commissions are calculated in USD. If withdrawal is made in another currency, the exchange rate applied at the time of processing will govern. Any conversion fees or third-party charges are borne by the Affiliate.
5.7. The Affiliate is solely responsible for any tax, reporting, accounting, social security, VAT, withholding, or similar obligations arising from participation in the Program and any amounts earned under it. The Provider does not provide tax advice, does not calculate taxes on behalf of Affiliates, and does not withhold taxes unless explicitly required by applicable law.
6. Cancellation and Reversal of Commissions
6.1. A Commission may be cancelled, reversed, withheld, or adjusted where the underlying order, payout, or referral activity is later found to be invalid, including where:
6.1.1. the underlying order is refunded by the Provider for any reason;

6.1.3. the underlying order or referral activity is fraudulent, abusive, misleading, unlawful, or otherwise in breach of applicable terms;
6.1.4. the relevant customer, Affiliate, or Sub-Affiliate is found to have engaged in activity that compromises the integrity of the Program;
6.1.5. the Affiliate's participation in the Program is suspended or terminated in accordance with Article 10;
6.1.6. the Commission was generated in error, duplicated, miscalculated, or technically misattributed.
6.2. If a Commission has already cleared or has already been withdrawn at the time grounds for reversal arise, the Provider may: (a) deduct the relevant amount from the Balance Ledger; (b) offset the relevant amount against future Commissions or bonuses; or (c) request repayment of the relevant amount where reasonably necessary.
6.3. The Provider shall not be liable for any loss, cost, or expectation arising from a Commission cancellation, reversal, or withholding carried out in accordance with these Affiliate Terms.
