OCTAVE™ Elite Partner Program - Terms & Conditions Last Updated: May 13, 2025 Welcome to the OCTAVE™ Elite Partner Program (the "Program") operated by Forex Alert System and The Octave Trading system ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms & Conditions (the "Agreement") govern your participation as an affiliate in the Program ("Affiliate," "you," or "your"). By applying for and participating in the Program, you signify your assent to and acceptance of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not apply for or participate in the Program. We reserve the right to update or modify this Agreement at any time. Your continued participation in the Program following any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. We will endeavor to notify active Affiliates of significant changes, typically via email or a notice in the Affiliate Dashboard. It is your responsibility to review this Agreement periodically for changes. 1. DEFINITIONS "Affiliate": An individual or entity that has successfully applied and been accepted into the Program. "Company": Forex Alert System and The Octave Trading system, the owner and operator of the OCTAVE™ trading intelligence system and the Program. "OCTAVE™ Platform": The proprietary AI trading intelligence system, including all its features, indicators (such as Quant Flow™ (QF/Trend), Bankflow™ (BF/Polarized Flow), HALO Surge™), Flow-Based Charting technology, "weaponized math" algorithms, software, website (www.ForexAlertSystem.com), and associated services. "Program": The OCTAVE™ Elite Partner Program as described in this Agreement and on forexalertsystem.com/Affiliate/Program.html. "Affiliate Link": A unique tracking link provided by the Company to the Affiliate for promoting the OCTAVE™ Platform. "Referral": A new, unique customer who signs up for a paid subscription to the OCTAVE™ Platform directly through an Affiliate's valid Affiliate Link and whose transaction is successfully tracked and validated by the Company. "Commission": The percentage of Net Revenue from a Qualified Sale payable to the Affiliate as specified in Section 5. "Net Revenue": Gross revenue received by the Company from a Qualified Sale, less any taxes, duties, payment processing fees, chargebacks, or discounts. "Qualified Sale": A sale of an OCTAVE™ Pro or Elite Pro subscription (or other designated products/services) to a Referral that meets all criteria set forth by the Company, including but not limited to, successful payment processing, completion of any trial period, and adherence to this Agreement. Given the Company's policy of no direct refunds (as trials serve evaluation purposes), a sale is primarily qualified after the successful processing of payment and after the Company's internal clearing period for potential chargebacks or payment disputes. "Promotional Materials": Any marketing or promotional materials provided by the Company for use by Affiliates, including but not limited to banners, logos, text links, email swipes, and product descriptions.

"Confidential Information": Any non-public information disclosed by the Company to the Affiliate, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.

Responsibility for Promotional Content: You are solely responsible for all content, materials, and methods used in your promotional activities. 4. AFFILIATE LINKS & TRACKING 4.1. Use of Affiliate Links: The Company will provide you with unique Affiliate Links to track Referrals. You must use these links as provided to ensure proper tracking and commission attribution. 4.2. Responsibility for Links: You are responsible for ensuring your Affiliate Links are correctly implemented and functioning. The Company is not responsible for commissions lost due to improperly formatted or broken links. 4.3. Cookie Duration: Referrals will be tracked via a cookie placed on the user's browser. The standard cookie duration for the Program is three hundred sixty-five (365) days. A Qualified Sale must occur within this period for the commission to be attributed to you, subject to the "last click" or other attribution model determined by the Company. 4.4. Tracking Integrity: The Company's tracking system will be the definitive source for determining commission eligibility. We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. 5. COMMISSIONS & PAYMENT 5.1. Commission Rate: Affiliates will earn a commission of thirty percent (30%) of the Net Revenue from Qualified Sales of OCTAVE™ Pro and Elite Pro subscriptions (or other designated commissionable products/services) made by Referrals. This commission is recurring for the lifetime of the referred customer's active paid subscription, unless otherwise specified for particular promotions or product tiers. 5.2. Qualified Sale Definition: A Qualified Sale is a transaction that: * Is made by a new customer to OCTAVE™. * Is made directly through the Affiliate's valid Affiliate Link. * Has been fully paid by the customer and not subject to any holds or flags by payment processors. * Has passed the Company's forty-five (45) day locking period, which accounts for potential chargebacks or payment disputes (the "Locking Period"). Given the Company's policy of no direct refunds as trials serve evaluation purposes, this Locking Period is primarily for payment finalization and chargeback mitigation. * Is not the result of a self-referral (unless permitted), fraud, or violation of this Agreement. 5.3. Payment Schedule: Commissions that have successfully passed the Locking Period are typically paid on a monthly basis, at the end of the month following the month in which the Locking Period for the commission concluded. 5.4. Payment Threshold: A minimum commission balance of $200.00 USD must be reached before payment is issued. Unpaid commissions will roll over to the next payment period until the threshold is met. 5.5. Payment Method: Payments will be made via PayPal or Zelle. Affiliates are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate payment information for their chosen method. Any fees associated with the payment method may be deducted from the commission. 5.6. Chargebacks & Fraud: If a transaction attributed to a Referral results in a chargeback, or if a transaction is determined to be fraudulent or in violation of these terms after a commission has been paid, the amount of that commission will be deducted from the Affiliate's future payments or, if no future payments are due, the Affiliate will be invoiced for the amount. 5.7. Currency: All commissions will be calculated and paid in US Dollars (USD). 5.8. Taxes: You are solely responsible for the payment of all taxes applicable to the commissions you earn under this Agreement. You may be required to provide necessary tax documentation (e.g., W-9 for US residents, W-8BEN for non-US residents). 6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 6.1.
