Marketing Partner Program Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to the AcreTrader, Inc. (“AcreTrader”) Marketing Partner Program (“Marketing Partner Program”). By participating in the Marketing Partner Program, you (“Marketing Partner”) agree to be bound by these Terms and any additional changes or additions to the Terms that AcreTrader may make from time to time.

Under the Marketing Partner Program, AcreTrader will pay the Marketing Partner as described in the offer on our Marketing Partner Program page (the “Marketing Partner Payment”) to any existing Marketing Partner that is the referral source for a new registered user (the “Referred User”) on the AcreTrader platform found at https://acretrader.com (“Platform”).

The Marketing Partner Program works as follows:

a. AcreTrader will send the Marketing Partner an email with instructions on how to refer potential new users to register a profile on the Platform.

b. The Marketing Partner can then refer potential new users to register on the Platform.

c. AcreTrader will confirm whether a Referred User satisfies the eligibility requirements listed below.

d. AcreTrader will credit the Marketing Partner Payment to the Marketing Partner’s Bill.com account (which is required, as discussed below).

The following eligibility requirements apply to all Referred Users:

a. The Referred User must be an “Accredited Investor” as defined in SEC Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933.

b. The Referred User must complete to AcreTrader’s satisfaction all user onboarding requirements, which includes “Know Your Customer” information (including identity and other verifications) and which also prevents certain “Prohibited Persons” from becoming a user.

c. The Referred User must be a new user on the Platform at the time of the referral and not have a pre-existing account of any type.

d. The Referred User must be a legal resident of the United States or its territories or possessions.

e. The Platform registration of the Referred User must occur within sixty (60) days from the date the potential new registrant clicked on the Marketing Partner link that was provided to Referral Source, regardless of any reason for delay.

The following eligibility requirements apply to all Marketing Partners:

Other provisions of the Marketing Partner Program:

a. Any attempt to obtain Marketing Partner Payments through multiple, false or fictitious accounts or in any other way that is designed to result in non-bona fide Referred Users is strictly prohibited and shall result in disqualification of the Marketing Partner and Referred User and voidance of any Marketing Partner Fees due to the Marketing Partner.

b. AcreTrader shall have no obligation to credit the Marketing Partner Payment if (i) the Marketing Partner violates any of these Terms, (ii) the Referred User’s registration does not timely occur within the 60-day period, or (iii) AcreTrader, in its sole discretion, reasonably believes providing the credit would violate or be in contravention or any law, rule, or guidance to which AcreTrader or its affiliates are subject.

c. Any dispute as to which Marketing Partner is the referral source for a Referred User shall be determined by AcreTrader in its sole discretion.

d. AcreTrader shall have sole discretion to permit or deny a Referred User from registering on the Platform.

e. AcreTrader will credit the Marketing Partner’s Bill.com account (which is required) with the Marketing Partner Payment within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month.

AcreTrader will not be responsible for any payment delays caused by issues relating to the availability of Marketing Partner’s Bill.com account or any service interruptions thereto.

f. Marketing Partner is solely responsible for any and all federal, state, local and other income and other taxes that are due and payable as a result of receipt of Marketing Partner Payments and may be issued a Form 1099 if required. Marketing Partner agrees to provide any tax-related information requested by AcreTrader (such as a W-9) to comply with applicable tax reporting requirements.

g. Marketing Partner understands, acknowledges, and agrees that the Marketing Partner Payment is the only compensation relating to the Marketing Partner Program and there is no other compensation due to the Marketing Partner relating to Referred Users.

The foregoing provisions of this section shall not limit a party’s disclosure or use of information that: (i) is available in the public domain; (ii) has been independently developed by such party without reference to information provided by the other party; or (iii) has been obtained by such party from a third party without breach of a duty to the other party or any affiliate thereof. Each party also shall be entitled to disclose information: (i) as required by applicable law or the rules of a self-regulatory agency; and (ii) to its attorneys, accountants and similar advisors bound by a duty of confidentiality.
