Affiliate Programme Terms

These Terms contain AvantPay's standard terms for the Affiliate Programme (the Programme) and are published on https://avantpay.io. An agreement on these Terms (the Affiliate Agreement) is formed between you and AvantPay as described in the section “Registration and approval”.

You take part in the Programme as an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms makes you AvantPay's employee, agent, partner or representative, and you have no authority to make any promise, offer or agreement on AvantPay's behalf.

Joining the Programme does not make you a Merchant, and referring a business does not oblige AvantPay to accept it. Whether a business becomes a Merchant, and on what terms, is decided by AvantPay alone under the Public Offer.

You accept these Terms when you register for the Programme at https://avantpay.io/lk and confirm that you agree to them. Your Affiliate Account is opened as soon as you confirm your email address.

The Affiliate Agreement takes effect, and your Referral Link starts working, only when AvantPay approves your registration and tells you so by email or in your Affiliate Account. Until then, no referrals are recorded for you and no Commission accrues. AvantPay may refuse any registration at its sole discretion and without giving reasons, in which case no Affiliate Agreement is formed.

To join the Programme you must:

• be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract;
• give accurate and complete information, including how you intend to promote AvantPay, and keep it up to date;
• not be a sanctioned person or owned or controlled by one, and not take part from a country where doing so would be unlawful;
• hold only one Affiliate Account, unless AvantPay agrees otherwise in writing.

If you register on behalf of a business, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it, and “you” means that business.

In these Terms:

• Affiliate Account means your affiliate account at https://avantpay.io/lk.
• Balance means the amount in USDT shown in your Affiliate Account: Commission credited to you, less Withdrawals requested and other adjustments permitted by these Terms.
• Commission means the amount you earn under the section “Commission”.
• Commission Rate means the percentage of Net Payment Fee Income that makes up your Commission, as set out in the section “Commission”.
• Day means a calendar day from 00:00 to 24:00 Moscow time (UTC+3), the time zone in which AvantPay keeps its accounts.
• Net Payment Fee Income means, for a Referred Merchant and a Day, the Fees for Payments charged to that Referred Merchant, less the amounts charged to AvantPay by Partners for processing those Payments, each as recorded in AvantPay's accounts for that Day and excluding VAT and other taxes.
• Referral Code means the unique code assigned to you when your registration is approved, and Referral Link means a link to https://avantpay.io containing it, such as https://avantpay.io/?ref=<Referral Code>.
• Referred Merchant means a business attributed to you under the section “Referrals and attribution” whose Agreement under the Public Offer has taken effect.
• USDT means the Tether USD stablecoin on the TRON network (TRC-20).
• Withdrawal means a transfer of USDT from your Balance to your wallet under the section “Withdrawals”.

A business is attributed to you if it first arrives at https://avantpay.io through your Referral Link and submits an application through the form on that website within 90 days of that first visit. If a business has used the Referral Links of more than one Affiliate, it is attributed to the Affiliate whose link it used first within that period.

We record referrals using the Referral Code submitted with the application and a cookie on the visitor's device that keeps the Referral Code for 90 days, as described in the Privacy Policy. A referral that we have not recorded, for example because the visitor blocked or deleted cookies or applied in another way, may be attributed to you only if AvantPay agrees.

A business is not attributed to you, and is not a Referred Merchant, if:

• when it first used your Referral Link, it was already a Merchant, had already applied to AvantPay or was already in discussions with us about the Services;
• you, a member of your family, or a business you own, control or work for owns or controls it, or you are or become a user of its Dashboard account;
• the referral was obtained in breach of these Terms or the law, or by misleading the business.

AvantPay decides on attribution when it approves the business as a Merchant, and may correct it afterwards if it was made in error. AvantPay's records of referrals are conclusive, save for manifest error.

A business is a Referred Merchant from the date its Agreement under the Public Offer takes effect, or from any later date AvantPay records, for as long as it remains a Merchant, unless an earlier end date is shown in your Affiliate Account for that Referred Merchant.

You may promote AvantPay by sharing your Referral Link with businesses that may want to use the Services. When you do so, you must:

• describe AvantPay and the Services accurately, using only information published on https://avantpay.io or given to you by AvantPay;
• make clear that you are an independent affiliate and, where the law or the platform requires it, that you may receive a commission;
• comply with the law, including advertising, consumer protection, anti-spam, data protection and sanctions laws, and with the rules of the platforms you use.

You must not:

• present yourself as AvantPay, its employee or its representative, or promise approval, Fees or other terms on AvantPay's behalf;
• send unsolicited messages in breach of the law, or use bots, fake accounts or mass messaging;
• bid on AvantPay's name or trade marks in search or social media advertising, or use them in domain names, usernames or app names;
• use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden links, false applications or any other means of generating referrals without a genuine business choosing to apply;
• offer businesses any payment, discount or other incentive to apply through your Referral Link, unless AvantPay agrees in writing;
• refer, or promote AvantPay to, a business engaged in any activity listed in the section “Merchants: prohibited activities” of the Public Offer.

AvantPay grants you, for the term of the Affiliate Agreement, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the AvantPay name and logo, in the form AvantPay provides, solely to promote the Services under these Terms.

For each Referred Merchant and each Day, your Commission is the Net Payment Fee Income for that Day multiplied by the Commission Rate.

The Commission Rate is 50%, unless a different rate is shown in your Affiliate Account for you or for a particular Referred Merchant. A different rate, and any change to a rate, applies from the date shown and does not change Commission already calculated.

Net Payment Fee Income includes only Fees for Payments. It does not include Fees for Payouts, refunds or Chargebacks, conversion margins or any other income of AvantPay, and it is not reduced by refunds, Chargebacks, network or bank charges, or AvantPay's other costs.

If Net Payment Fee Income for a Day is negative, for example because Partners' charges for that Day exceed the Fees, the Commission for that Day is negative and reduces your Balance.

Commission includes any VAT or other taxes that may be payable on it.

Commission for a Day is calculated in the currency in which AvantPay records the Net Payment Fee Income, normally roubles, once the Day has closed in AvantPay's accounts, and is usually credited to your Balance on the following Day.

Commission calculated in a currency other than USDT is converted into USDT at the exchange rate that AvantPay sets for the Programme and that is in effect at 00:00 Moscow time at the end of that Day. The rate is shown with each Commission in your Affiliate Account and may differ from market rates.

If AvantPay's accounts for a Day are corrected later, for example because a Payment was recorded late, AvantPay adjusts your Commission on the Day the correction is made, converting it at the rate used for the original Day. No adjustments are made for a Day in a calendar month that AvantPay has closed in its accounts.

A negative Balance is not a debt that you must pay: it is set off against future Commission. However, AvantPay may recover from you any amount credited to you as a result of fraud or your breach of these Terms.

The Commission and Balance shown in your Affiliate Account are treated as accepted unless you raise a discrepancy with support@avantpay.io within 60 days of the Day concerned, save for manifest error.

You may request a Withdrawal of all or part of your positive Balance on any day through your Affiliate Account, confirming it with two-factor authentication. The minimum Withdrawal is 50 USDT. Withdrawals are made only in USDT.

Withdrawals are sent to the USDT wallet address registered in your Affiliate Account. A new or changed address can be used only 24 hours after it is registered. You are responsible for registering a correct address on the TRON network that you control: blockchain transfers cannot be reversed, and AvantPay is not responsible for funds sent to the address you registered.

The requested amount is deducted from your Balance when you make the request. AvantPay sends Withdrawals normally within one Business Day of the request and pays the network fee. If a Withdrawal is declined, the amount is returned to your Balance.

AvantPay may delay or decline a Withdrawal while it carries out checks under the section “Verification and compliance”, or if it reasonably suspects fraud or a breach of these Terms.

You are solely responsible for declaring and paying any taxes and social contributions on your Commission in the country where you are tax resident, and for any registration this requires. AvantPay does not give tax advice.

If the law requires AvantPay to withhold or report any tax, it may do so, and may ask you for the information it needs.

AvantPay may carry out identity, anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions checks on you before approving your registration and at any time afterwards, and may ask you for information or documents, including about the wallet you use. If you do not provide them in time, or the checks are unsatisfactory, AvantPay may refuse or suspend your Affiliate Account and Withdrawals.

You may end the Affiliate Agreement at any time by notice to support@avantpay.io. AvantPay may end it on 14 days' notice, or immediately if you breach these Terms, if a ground for suspension applies or if AvantPay closes the Programme.

AvantPay may suspend your Affiliate Account, your Referral Link and Withdrawals if it reasonably believes that you have breached these Terms or the law or given false information, or that fraud, sanctions or a security risk is involved.

While your Affiliate Account is suspended, Commission on your existing Referred Merchants continues to accrue, but no new referrals are recorded for you and you cannot request Withdrawals.

Commission accrues until the Affiliate Agreement ends. AvantPay will then pay out any positive Balance, even if it is below the minimum Withdrawal, within 30 days, after the checks in the section “Verification and compliance”. If the Affiliate Agreement ended because of your breach, AvantPay may first cancel Commission obtained through the breach and withhold the Balance for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate.

Provisions that are meant to survive the end of the Affiliate Agreement, including those on taxes, data protection and confidentiality, liability and governing law, continue to apply.

AvantPay processes your personal data, including your contact details, wallet address and Affiliate Account activity, as a controller, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Your Affiliate Account shows, for each referral, only the date of the application, the name of the project and its status and, for each Referred Merchant, its name, Commission Rate and Commission. AvantPay does not share applicants' contact details or Referred Merchants' Payment data with you.

If you give AvantPay personal data about a business or its representatives, you must have a lawful basis for doing so. You must keep confidential the non-public information in your Affiliate Account, including Commission amounts and anything you learn about Referred Merchants, and use it only for the Programme.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under the laws of England and Wales.

Subject to that, AvantPay is not liable to you for loss of profits, revenue, business or goodwill, for indirect or consequential loss, or for delays or failures of blockchain networks, wallets or other third parties. AvantPay's total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the Commission credited to you in that period; this limit does not apply to AvantPay's obligation to pay a positive Balance due under these Terms.

You will indemnify AvantPay, its affiliates, directors and employees against all losses, liabilities, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or the law, or from third-party claims about the way you promoted AvantPay.

AvantPay may change these Terms, including the default Commission Rate and the minimum Withdrawal, by giving at least 14 days' notice by email or in your Affiliate Account, or shorter notice where the law, an authority or a Partner requires it or the change does not disadvantage you. The current version, with its revision date, is published on https://avantpay.io.

Changes do not affect Commission calculated before they take effect. If you do not agree to a change, you may end the Affiliate Agreement before it takes effect; continuing in the Programme afterwards means that you accept it.

AvantPay may give notices in your Affiliate Account, by email to the address registered in it or via your Telegram contact. You give notices by email to support@avantpay.io. A notice is received when published or sent if this is between 9am and 5pm (UK time) on a Business Day, and otherwise at 9am (UK time) on the next Business Day.

Communications under these Terms may be made in English or Russian. If these Terms or any notice are translated, the English version prevails.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under the Affiliate Agreement, including your Balance or Affiliate Account, without AvantPay's prior written consent. AvantPay may assign or transfer the Affiliate Agreement to an affiliate or a successor of its business by notice.

If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, and the rest continues in force. A failure or delay in exercising a right does not waive it. The Affiliate Agreement is the entire agreement between you and AvantPay on its subject matter, and only you and AvantPay may enforce it under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

These Terms and the Affiliate Agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Please contact support@avantpay.io first so that we can try to resolve any problem. If it is not resolved within 30 days, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, but either party may seek urgent relief elsewhere.
