Affiliate Agreement

Effective Date: July 17, 2026

This Affiliate Agreement (the "Agreement") is between TradeSport LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("TradeSport," "we," "us," or "our"), and the individual or entity enrolling in the TradeSport Affiliate Program (the "Affiliate," "you," or "your"). It works alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

By enrolling, you confirm that you have read this Agreement and agree to be bound by it.

1. Affiliate Enrollment and Acceptance

By submitting an affiliate application and being approved, you confirm that you:

Have read and understand the TradeSport Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
Will comply with all TradeSport policies and applicable laws (including advertising and tax laws in your jurisdiction)
Are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement
Will provide accurate registration and tax information

TradeSport reserves the right to accept or deny any affiliate application, and to suspend or revoke any affiliate's status, at its sole discretion — including declining applications without explanation. Termination mechanics, and the treatment of commissions earned in good faith before a revocation, are set out in Section 11.

2. Commission Structure

2.1 Flat-Tier Commission Rates

TradeSport pays affiliate commissions as flat dollar amounts per qualifying sale, set by product and account size. The current commission schedule is published by TradeSport (in the affiliate dashboard and/or on the TradeSport affiliates page) and is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

The commission amounts in effect at the time a qualifying sale is made are the amounts that apply to that sale. Changes to the published schedule follow the notice process in Section 12 — TradeSport provides at least 30 days' written notice before any reduction takes effect, and no change reduces a commission you have already earned.

TradeSport reserves the right to modify the published per-tier commission amounts (subject to the Section 12 notice process) and to designate customized commission values for an individual affiliate by written arrangement with that affiliate. A written individual arrangement controls over the published schedule for that affiliate for as long as it remains in effect.

The commission is earned on every qualifying sale generated by an affiliate-referred user (subject to the attribution rules in Section 3). Resets on a referred user's accounts earn the same flat tier commission for the life of that account. Commissions are earned under this Agreement with TradeSport and are disbursed by Prop Account, LLC through its payment processors (see Sections 3.8 and 5.7).

2.2 Why Flat-Tier

We use flat-tier commissions instead of a percentage model because they are simpler to communicate, predictable for both the affiliate and TradeSport, decoupled from sale-pricing fluctuations, and set to be competitive with — and at most tiers more generous than — the commissions common across this industry.

2.3 No Commission on Refunded or Charged-Back Sales

If a referred user obtains a refund (where one is granted) or files a chargeback, the related commission is reversed. If the commission has already been paid out, the reversal is deducted from your next commission balance.

3. Referral Tracking and Attribution

3.1 Tracking Mechanisms

We track referrals using two mechanisms:

Affiliate links (with a tracking parameter), which set a first-touch attribution cookie on the referred user's browser
Unique promo codes assigned to each affiliate, which a user can enter at checkout

3.2 Cookie Window

The attribution cookie is set on first touch (the first time a user clicks one of your links) and persists for 30 days. If the user signs up within those 30 days, you are credited as the referrer for that user's account.

3.3 Lifetime Attribution on the Original Account

When a user signs up for the first time via your link or your unique promo code, they are your referred user for that original account for the life of that account. Resets and recurring fees on that original account continue to earn you commission.

3.4 90-Day Window for New Accounts

If your referred user buys additional accounts (different competitions, different challenges, or any new account beyond the original), you earn commission on those new account purchases only if they are made within 90 days of the original signup.

Purchases made by the same user after 90 days from the original signup do not earn commission for the affiliate.

We chose 90 days as a middle ground between short attribution windows (which under-pay engaged affiliates) and indefinite attribution (which makes the program unsustainable). Ninety days gives you real motivation to keep promoting and gives users room to expand within a reasonable post-signup period.

3.5 Promo Code Use by Existing Users

If an existing user (one who signed up before any contact with you, and whose attribution cookie is not yours) uses your unique promo code at checkout, you earn commission on that specific purchase only. You do not earn commission on resets, recurring fees, or future purchases by that user. To earn lifetime original-account attribution, the user must have actually first signed up via your link or promo code.

3.6 Conflicts and Last-Touch Promo Codes

If a user has an active first-touch cookie from one affiliate and uses a different affiliate's promo code at checkout, the promo-code affiliate is credited for that specific transaction, and the original affiliate retains lifetime attribution on the original account if applicable. We document conflicts in your dashboard so you can see what was credited and why.

3.7 Standard Affiliate Code (Attribution-Only Mirror of the Site Discount)

Every approved affiliate is issued a standard affiliate code at the moment of approval. The standard code is not a separate discount — it mirrors whatever site-wide promotional discount is currently active.

If TradeSport is running a 20% off site sale, the standard affiliate code applies a 20% discount at checkout.
If TradeSport is running a 30% off site sale, the standard affiliate code applies a 30% discount at checkout.
If no site-wide sale is active, the standard affiliate code applies no discount.

The customer experience is identical whether they enter the affiliate's code or TradeSport's homepage promo code: same discount applied, same final price. The only difference is that entering the affiliate's code attributes the purchase to the affiliate (per Sections 3.1–3.6 above). Standard affiliate codes are not stackable with site-wide promo codes — entering both does not double the discount.

3.8 The Partner Checkout Platform

Purchases of the products marketed on the TradeSport website are made through the checkout of TradeSport's partner platform, operated by Prop Account, LLC (see Section 2 of the Terms of Service). Referral tracking, promo-code entry, and purchase attribution are implemented on that platform. The mechanics described in this Section 3 state TradeSport's attribution policy; if a technical constraint of the partner platform materially alters any mechanic described here, TradeSport will apply the modification-notice process in Section 12 before the altered mechanic takes effect.

4. Premium Affiliate Programs

TradeSport offers two distinct Premium-tier benefits, each granted independently and each requiring a separate application and approval. An affiliate may hold one, both, or neither.

4.1 Premium Tier — Commission Bump

The Premium Tier provides a higher commission rate to affiliates with sustained, high-quality referral volume.

Eligibility. To be eligible to apply for the Premium Tier, you must have generated at least 100 unique paid signups (100 distinct referred users who have at least one completed payment). Eligibility to apply is not automatic admission.

Application and Approval. Once eligible, you may submit a Premium Tier application via the affiliate dashboard. Approval is at our sole discretion. We consider factors such as referral quality, compliance history, marketing approach, and audience fit.

Benefit — increased commission rates. If approved, your standard flat-tier commissions (Section 2.1) are increased by a multiplier negotiated case-by-case. The exact increase is set per affiliate based on individual circumstances; there is no fixed Premium-tier rate table — every Premium relationship is individually negotiated and confirmed to you in writing.

Discretionary status. Hitting 100 signups does not entitle you to Premium status. Premium status can be revoked if the conditions that supported approval no longer apply.

4.2 Premium Discount Code — Independent Grant

A Premium Discount Code is a separate grant from the Premium Tier (commission bump) described in Section 4.1. Holding a Premium Discount Code does not require Premium Tier approval, and Premium Tier approval does not automatically grant a Premium Discount Code.

What it is. A unique discount code, issued to the affiliate, that customers can use at checkout. Unlike the standard affiliate code (Section 3.7), the Premium Discount Code adds an additional percentage discount on top of any active site-wide sale (additive). For example, if the site is running a 20% sale and the Premium Discount Code carries an additional 10% grant, customers using the code receive a 30% discount on list price; if no site-wide sale is active, customers receive only the 10% grant.

Eligibility. Any active affiliate may submit an application for a Premium Discount Code. Unlike the Premium Tier, there is no minimum signup threshold. Premium Discount Code approvals are reserved for affiliates who:

Have demonstrated quality of customers brought to the platform; OR
Have a strong social-media following or trust base, even before they have generated sales.

This second criterion gives TradeSport flexibility to grant Premium Discount Codes to influencers and content creators whose audience reach justifies a deeper customer-facing discount.

Application and Approval. Submit a Premium Discount Code application via the affiliate dashboard, including a rationale (links to social channels, customer-quality argument, or other relevant context). Approval is at TradeSport's sole discretion and may be denied without explanation.

The additional discount percentage is set per-grant and typically falls in the range of 1% to 10% additional. The exact percentage is negotiated based on the same quality-and-audience considerations that determine eligibility.

Discretionary status. A Premium Discount Code grant can be revoked if the conditions that supported approval no longer apply or if the code is misused.

5. Payout Schedule (Manual Request, 30-Day Eligibility)

5.1 Manual Request, Not Automatic

Payouts are affiliate-initiated. There is no automatic payout schedule. Affiliates request payouts from their dashboard, for any amount up to 100% of their eligible balance.

5.2 Eligibility — 30-Day Buffer

Each commission you earn becomes eligible for withdrawal 30 days after it is earned. Until then, it accrues as pending balance in your dashboard. (Eligibility timing describes when you may submit a request — not when funds arrive; see Section 5.7 on disbursement.)

5.3 Why the Holdback

The buffer is a chargeback-and-refund protection. It gives us time to confirm a sale has "stuck" before the underlying commission becomes payable. Without it, we would risk paying out commission on transactions that reverse days later, which is operationally messy for everyone.

5.4 Minimum Withdrawal

The minimum payout request is $250. If your eligible balance is below $250, the balance rolls forward. There is no expiration on eligible balance.

5.5 Withdrawal Amount

You may request any amount from $250 up to 100% of your eligible balance. Partial requests are allowed; unrequested eligible balance rolls forward.

5.6 Admin Approval

All payout requests are reviewed by TradeSport before disbursement. TradeSport does not commit to a fixed review timeline. We reserve the right to delay or reject requests that warrant additional review (for example, if a referral pattern raises fraud questions, or if the underlying payments have unresolved chargeback risk). Rejected requests release the underlying commissions back to "eligible" status and may be re-requested later.

5.7 Payout Method and Disbursement

Approved affiliate payouts are disbursed by Prop Account, LLC through its payment processors, via electronic transfer to a verified payout method on file, on the rails the platform supports for your jurisdiction. TradeSport does not commit to, and does not state, a delivery timeline for any payout. Disbursement timing is governed by the platform's processing and the Client Terms and can vary with payment method, jurisdiction, and processor review. The disbursing platform and its payment processors may change over time; regardless of the underlying rail, all payouts require completed identity verification (Section 6) and a verified payout method on file before the first payout.

6. Payout Eligibility (KYC and Verified Payment Method)

You must satisfy both of the following before any payout is issued:

Complete identity (KYC) verification through the verification provider used for affiliate payouts. Identity verification is a regulatory and anti-fraud requirement. KYC is free of charge; no verification timeline is promised.
Maintain a verified payout method on file for affiliate-payout disbursement — typically a bank account in the United States, or an equivalent electronic payment method in other supported jurisdictions. Because disbursement runs through Prop Account, LLC and its payment processors (Section 5.7), the payout method is maintained with the disbursing platform, and the affiliate is required to keep it current and verified.

Until both are in place, commissions accrue but are not paid. If KYC is denied, you may reapply or contact mason@trade-sport.com to discuss alternatives.

In addition, your TradeSport account must be in good standing (not suspended, banned, or under fraud investigation).

7. Prohibited Activities

You may not:

Self-refer or generate fraudulent referrals. This includes referring your own accounts, accounts of household members or close associates, fake accounts, or accounts created in collusion to generate commissions.
Engage in misleading marketing. Do not make false or unsubstantiated claims about TradeSport, payout amounts, expected earnings, payout speed, or product features.
Spam. Do not send unsolicited messages, mass DMs, irrelevant comments, or other unwanted communications promoting TradeSport or your affiliate link.
Run paid ads on TradeSport-branded keywords without prior written approval. This includes "TradeSport," "trade sport," "trade-sport," and obvious variants. You may apply for permission to run such ads by contacting mason@trade-sport.com. Without explicit written approval, paid ads on TradeSport-branded keywords are prohibited.
Impersonate TradeSport staff or representatives, or imply that you speak for TradeSport when you do not.
Manipulate or exploit the Service or the affiliate tracking system, including attempting to inject cookies you have not legitimately earned, hijack referrals from other affiliates, or game the attribution windows.
Promote TradeSport in jurisdictions, or to users, where doing so would violate the Terms of Service or applicable law. This includes promoting to minors, residents of sanctioned jurisdictions, or in any context where simulated trading competitions are unlawful.
Engage in hate speech, threats, harassment, or aggressive language — directed at TradeSport users or staff, OR embedded in your TradeSport-promoting content (advertisements, videos, social posts, livestreams, Discord activity in TradeSport-operated spaces, etc.). This includes — but is not limited to — slurs based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin; threats or intimidation; sustained harassment; and aggressive language clearly intended to attack rather than engage. Violations may result in immediate program termination and forfeiture of pending commissions, pending admin review of the specific violation. We may, but are not required to, issue a warning before acting; severe violations may result in immediate termination without prior warning. We hold affiliates to this standard because content you publish under your TradeSport affiliate link reflects on the TradeSport brand.

Violations may result in suspension, termination, or forfeiture of pending commissions (see Section 11).

8. Use of TradeSport Name and Branded Keywords

You may use the TradeSport name and unmodified, official TradeSport marketing assets that we provide for the sole purpose of promoting TradeSport in good faith.

You may not:

Modify the TradeSport logo or wordmark
Imply an employment, partnership, or other formal relationship with TradeSport that you do not have
Register domains, social handles, or business names that include "TradeSport" or confusingly similar terms
Run paid ads on TradeSport-branded keywords without prior written approval (see Section 7)

If you would like to apply for permission to use TradeSport-branded keywords in paid advertising, contact mason@trade-sport.com.

9. Use of Third-Party Names, Screenshots, and Testimonials

You may freely use your own name, your own account screenshots, and your own account performance data in your marketing.

You may not use the names, screenshots, leaderboard positions, account data, or testimonials of other users without explicit written consent from those individuals. We reserve the right to:

Request copies of those consent documents
Contact the named individuals to verify consent
Require you to remove material that does not have proper consent

This protects users from having their performance data used in your marketing without permission.

10. Confidentiality

You may publicly share your own earnings, your own commission rate, your own signup counts, and your own experience as an affiliate at any level of detail you choose.

You may not disclose the names of users you have referred without those users' explicit written consent. You may not share confidential program data we have given you (for example, internal dashboards, unreleased products, or unpublished commission structures of other affiliates).

11. Suspension and Termination

11.1 Termination by TradeSport for Cause

We may terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program for cause, including:

Fraudulent referrals or commission manipulation
Material violations of this Agreement, the Terms of Service, or applicable law
Misleading marketing or material harm to TradeSport's brand
Unresponsive or chronically late KYC compliance

When we terminate for cause, pending commissions may be forfeited, in whole or in part, depending on the severity of the conduct.

11.2 Termination by Affiliate

You may terminate your participation at any time by contacting mason@trade-sport.com. Earned-in-good-faith commissions through the date of termination are paid out per the normal schedule (subject to the holdback in Section 5).

11.3 Termination Without Cause by TradeSport

We may also terminate your participation without cause, in which case earned-in-good-faith commissions through the date of termination are paid out per the normal schedule.

11.4 Effect of Termination

After termination, you must stop using TradeSport branding, your affiliate links, and your unique promo codes. Sales attributed before termination remain subject to refund/chargeback reversals as described in Section 2.3.

12. Modifications to This Agreement

Affiliates are core to our business and we do not believe surprise changes are fair. We will give affiliates at least 30 days' written notice (via email and/or affiliate dashboard) before any modification to commission rates, attribution windows, payout cadence, or material terms takes effect.

The retroactivity protection in our Terms of Service (Section 7 of the Terms of Service) also applies here in spirit: changes that reduce affiliate benefits apply prospectively to commissions earned after the change takes effect; they do not retroactively reduce commissions that were already earned under the prior version.

We may terminate the Affiliate Program in its entirety with 30 days' written notice. In that case, earned-in-good-faith commissions through the wind-down date are paid out per the normal schedule.

13. Disclaimer of Liability

We are not responsible for the performance of your marketing efforts. Past affiliate earnings (yours or anyone else's) do not guarantee future earnings.
You are responsible for all taxes on your affiliate income. We will issue tax forms (such as 1099-NEC) where required by U.S. law.
You agree to indemnify TradeSport from claims arising out of your promotional activities, your use of third-party content, or your violation of this Agreement.
The general limitation of liability in Section 11 of the Terms of Service applies to this Agreement.
The products you promote are provided and sold by Prop Account, LLC, and the affiliate tracking and checkout infrastructure runs on its platform (see Section 3.8). You acknowledge that Prop Account, LLC, Prop Account LC, and TradeSport's other service providers are not parties to this Agreement, owe you no direct duty under it, and that your sole recourse for any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement is against TradeSport. You waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims against any such third party in connection with this Agreement. See Section 10 of the Terms of Service for additional detail.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes between you and TradeSport are subject to the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions in Section 13 of the Terms of Service (binding arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia, administered by JAMS, with a class action waiver).

15. Effective Date

This Agreement is effective July 17, 2026.

16. Acceptance and Electronic Signature

This Agreement is accepted electronically. When you submit an affiliate application, check the "I accept" box during enrollment, or click any other in-product control where the Service prompts you to confirm acceptance of an updated version, your click is your binding signature on this Agreement.

What we record. At the moment of acceptance, TradeSport records: (a) the version of this Agreement that you accepted, (b) the date and time of acceptance, (c) the IP address from which the acceptance was submitted, and (d) the TradeSport user ID associated with the acceptance. Together, these records identify you as the signer and bind you to the version of this Agreement in effect at that time.

Legal effect. Your electronic acceptance has the same legal force as a handwritten signature on a paper copy of this Agreement under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and Georgia's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (O.C.G.A. § 10-12-1 et seq.). You agree to do business with TradeSport electronically and to receive notices, agreements, and records from TradeSport in electronic form.

Paper copy on request. You may request a paper copy of this Agreement, or of your specific acceptance record, by emailing mason@trade-sport.com. We will provide it at no charge within a reasonable time.

Withdrawing consent. You may withdraw your consent to electronic acceptance at any time by terminating your participation in the Affiliate Program (see Section 11.2). Withdrawal does not undo any acceptance you have already given; it stops further electronic acceptance going forward. Because the Affiliate Program is operated exclusively online, withdrawing consent ends your ability to participate.

Hardware and software. To accept this Agreement electronically, you need a device with internet access, a current web browser, and an email account that can receive messages from TradeSport. If your browser cannot display this Agreement in full, contact us at the email above and we will provide an alternative format.
