BY SIGNING UP WITH THE QUANTROCKET ("www.quantrocket.com", "QuantRocket", "we", "us" and "our") AFFILIATE PROGRAM ("Program"), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ("Agreement"). YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE CLAUSES OF THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN. The terms of the Agreement form the entire contract between the parties in relation to its subject matter.
YOU ("You", "Affiliate", or "Affiliates") AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS ENFORCEABLE LIKE ANY WRITTEN NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT SIGNED BY YOU, AND THIS AGREEMENT IS ENFORCEABLE AGAINST YOU.
This is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a legal entity), and QuantRocket LLC. This Agreement outlines the rules and regulations of the Program.
By clicking the button "Sign up" during registration on our Platform, you represent that you are over 18 years old and agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy and this Agreement. If you are acting on behalf of a company when accepting this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, you also hereby declare to be authorized to perform such legal actions on behalf of that company (herein the term "you" shall mean the relevant company).
QuantRocket reserves the right to approve or reject any Program application at its sole and absolute discretion. Acceptance of your application to the Program is at QuantRocket's sole discretion and neither QuantRocket nor its authorized representatives shall hold any liability to you in the event that your application is rejected.
Commission for Affiliates becomes due where a customer signs up for QuantRocket's software license using your unique Affiliate link on a bona fide, arm's length basis ("Commission"). The percentage of the Commission is as notified to you by QuantRocket from time to time in writing.
Only subscriptions to QuantRocket's software license are eligible for Commission. Commission is not payable on any other QuantRocket products or services, including, without limitation, data purchases and support retainers.
Affiliate Commissions are paid out by the end of the month following the month in which the customer payment occurs. For example, Commissions for payments occurring in January are paid out by the end of February if there are no issues with any of the customers that the Affiliates has referred. If there is any issue, we have the right to withhold the payment, run an investigation, and release the payment once we are satisfied with the investigation.
In case of a refund or chargeback, the Commission will not be payable, and if already paid, it will be adjusted from the next payout. If there is no next payout within the next 30 days, then the Affiliate will be liable to pay back the Commission immediately. Failure to make payment of a Commission paid out in error will entitle us to terminate this Agreement and claim for damages. QuantRocket also reserves the right to charge interest on owed payments to the maximum amount allowable by applicable law and engage debt collection agencies to retrieve such monies, the cost of which will be charged to you in addition to the debt and any accrued interest.
The minimum payout of Commission is $50 (Fifty US Dollars).
Affiliate Commission payouts are paid for as long as the referral is a QuantRocket customer, unless this Agreement is terminated earlier as described in section G.
Where you refer a customer who is a prior client of QuantRocket, the payout of Commission will be subject to manual review and approval by us in our sole discretion.
We reserve the right to withhold payments to any suspicious Affiliate, request KYC details and/or run through due diligence to ensure the Affiliate's traffic & methods are safe for the QuantRocket brand.
For the avoidance of doubt, Self-referrals will not count as a qualified "referral" and therefore will not be eligible for Commission.
Any kind of tax payable by the Affiliate on Commission is the responsibility of the Affiliate and we will not gross up any Commission in any circumstances.
In some cases, we may give credit to an Affiliate even if the customer didn't sign up through their link. If you have a case like that, contact brian@quantrocket.com with the details of your referral and we will assess your case.
We reserve the right to set-off any amounts owing to us against Commission payments in cases where Commission payments have either been made erroneously or due to a misrepresentation by you. We reserve the right to counterclaim in all such circumstances.

Abuse, gaming, and policy violations will result in having your account banned and any existing and future Commissions forfeited.
If you have any questions about campaigns and promotions please contact brian@quantrocket.com.
