This Services Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for the Affiliate Program offered by Virtuse. When you use your account or permit someone else to use it to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Virtuse service(s) or products or to cancel your Virtuse service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Services Agreement covers such service or actions.

The Virtuse Affiliate Program allows you to provide a platform for advertising Virtuse via your “web site” or “publishing location” (such as an electronic newsletter or blog), thereby driving traffic to Virtuse web site or web site content, whereby you may earn a portion of the revenue generated (“Commission”) if a person that is not you or your Related Persons as defined below (“Visitor”) trades a Virtuse-listed product after being referred to the Virtuse web site from an internet hyperlink (“Link”) contained on your web site or publishing location.
After being referred to the Virtuse web site from a Link contained on your web site or publishing location, Visitors have seven (7) days to complete their registration in order for your accounts to be linked. Should the Visitor click on another web site or publishing location’s Link that is not controlled by you or Related Persons, or return to the Virtuse web site via another source-coded advertising Link during the initial seven (7) days, your link will be overwritten and you will not receive a Commission for that Visitor’s account.
You are not eligible for a Commission on trades made by you or any Related Persons, your employees, agents, representatives, or contractors, as well as made from several accounts owned by the same person; and Virtuse employees (or their Related Persons) are not allowed to participate in the Virtuse Affiliate Program.
You are also not eligible for any Commission derived from any persons referred to Virtuse platform relying on any materials, videos, content, deliverables, work product owned by or licensed to Virtuse (such as its research, blog or social media materials) linked, published, used, exploited or posted on your web site or publishing location.

Commissions under this Service Agreement will be paid to you based on a sliding percentage of fees paid by referred users. This percentage will increase as the total turnover of referred accounts increases. An increase in your account’s percentage will not lead to retroactive payments. This schedule will be made available at https://www.virtuse.com/affiliate-program-details/. Payments are made daily at 12:01 UTC directly into your account. Virtuse will track all Commissions earned and may, at its sole discretion, decide not to pay any Commission to you should we believe that any referral has been made in violation of its guidelines, in any breach of this Services Agreement or Virtuse’s Terms of Service due to Visitor, user or customer fraud, or due to Visitor, user or customer contract cancellation. It is your sole and absolute duty to follow precisely this Agreement and its guidelines at all times. Virtuse is under no obligation whatsoever to pay any Commission to anyone who does not strictly follow this Services Agreement and its guidelines, as modified from time to time.
As an affiliate, we provide you with the Links necessary to promote Virtuse products and services, which you may display in any area of your web site or publishing location as you wish. The Links will identify your site as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a Link from your web site or publishing location to ours. You acknowledge and agree it is your sole responsibility to indicate your correct unique referral or affiliate ID in the promo materials you use on your web site or publishing location. You may promote the products and services that Virtuse offers in any manner you choose unless it misleads Visitors about Virtuse services.
Virtuse will not be responsible for lost sales or lost opportunity to earn Commission due to any cause (such as technical difficulties or over-capacity including system overload or load shedding) preventing Virtuse from registering any account, accepting deposits, executing trades, closing positions, or providing any other product or service to the Visitor. Virtuse is also responsible for tracking referral sales and Commissions and providing this information to the referrer via activity reporting tool available within the Virtuse account.
