A "New Trader" shall mean an Internet user without a prior account with TradeRush who accesses the TradeRush Site directly through the Links, opens a new user account and makes the required minimum deposit in such account. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your site and the TradeRush Site are properly formatted throughout the term of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of any doubt, TradeRush's policy is not to accept New Traders from certain excluded territories, attached as Annex 1, as may be amended from time to time by RushBucks (the "Excluded Territories"). - Commission
You shall receive a commission pursuant to the Revenue Share Scheme, as set forth below, the choice of scheme to be made by you at your discretion.
Revenue Share Scheme:
Affiliate Commission = 35% of the Net Revenue generated from the New Active Traders referred to us by you.
For the purposes of this Agreement “Net Revenue” shall be calculated on a monthly basis and shall mean the revenue generated by New Traders less amounts (i) paid out through the redemption of gift certificates, coupons or credits; (ii) due to credit card fraud, bad debts, cancellations, bonuses and credits.
The Affiliate Commission rate is subject to change at any time or from time to time, in our sole and absolute discretion. You will be notified of any change in the Affiliate Commission rate.
A commission will only be paid if the visitor to our site is tracked by the system from the time of the Link to the time of the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor to our site cannot be tracked by our system.
If the monthly calculation of Net Revenue results in a negative amount, such amount shall be deducted from applicable Net Revenue in succeeding months. - Payment
All commissions shall be paid to you on a monthly basis, within approximately 30 days following the end of each month. Payment of commissions shall be made directly to you as per your preferred payment method elected by you as part of your application process. In the event that you provide RushBucks with incorrect or incomplete details in relation to your preferred payment method and RushBucks is not able to transfer the commissions to you, RushBucks reserves the right to subtract from the commissions due to you an amount of money to reflect the required investigation and additional work created by your provision of incorrect or incomplete details. RushBucks shall be entitled to set-off from the amount of commission to be paid to you any associated costs related to the transfer of such commission. In the event that the commission to be paid to you in any calendar month is less than $500 (the "Minimum Amount"), RushBucks shall not be obligated to make the payment until such time as the commission is equal to or greater than the Minimum Amount. RushBucks retains the right to review all commissions for possible fraud, where such fraud may be on the part of the New Trader or on your part. Any incidence of fraud on your part, including without limitation the opening of false accounts, constitutes a breach of this Agreement, and RushBucks retains full authority to terminate this Agreement immediately in the event of such breach. Further, in the event that TradeRush and/or RushBucks deems that fraud has occurred, either on your part or on the part of a New Trader, you shall not be entitled to receive any commissions which have accrued to your benefit at such time whether such commissions were generated through fraud or otherwise. You are urged to provide accurate details in regard to the manner and information relating to your preferred method of receiving commissions and RushBucks shall not be held liable for your delayed receipt of commissions due to your provision of inaccurate details. - Term and Termination
The term of this Agreement will begin upon your acceptance to the Affiliate Program and will end when terminated by either party. At any time, either party may immediately terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination, where such notice may be served via fax or e-mail. We reserve the right to withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid, provided however that if termination is due to fraudulent accounts/activity, then you shall not be entitled to any payment.
Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) each party shall return to the other party all property of the other party in its possession or control (including the TradeRush and RushBucks Marks and all Confidential Information); (b) you shall immediately cease displaying any Links and TradeRush and RushBucks Marks on any Website or otherwise and any other names, marks, symbols, copyrights, logos, designs, or other proprietary designations or properties owned, developed, licensed or created by us and/or provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the Affiliate Program, and (c) all rights granted to you hereunder will immediately cease.
Following the termination of this Agreement and our payment to you of all commissions due at such time of termination, we shall have no obligation to make any further payments of commissions to you.
