Affiliate Agreement

Version 2026-10-23 · effective October 23, 2026

The short version. Share your link. Anyone who signs up through it gets 50% off their first paid month, and you earn 50% of what they pay for their first 12 months, after refunds and tax. Commissions clear after 30 days and are paid monthly once you have $25. Always say you earn a commission, never promise profits, and don’t spam. The full terms below are what you sign; this summary isn’t part of them.
You sign this agreement on the affiliates page by typing your full legal name. We email you a copy of what you signed.

1. Who this agreement is between

This Affiliate Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between ArbTrader, a sole proprietorship based in California (“ArbTrader”, “we”, “us”), and the person who signs it (“you”, the “Affiliate”). It covers the ArbTrader affiliate program (the “Program”). It adds to, and does not replace, the Terms of Service that already apply to your ArbTrader account.

2. Definitions

Your Link
The referral link shown on your affiliates page (arbtrader.co/?ref=YOURCODE) and its code.
Referred Customer
A person who creates a new ArbTrader account within 60 days of opening Your Link in the same browser, who did not already have an ArbTrader account, and whose account our records show as referred by you. If they open more than one affiliate’s link, the last one opened counts. The referral is fixed when the account is created and can’t be moved to you afterwards.
Net Revenue
Money ArbTrader actually collects through its own Stripe checkout from a Referred Customer for an ArbTrader subscription (including the trial fee), minus refunds, chargebacks and disputed payments, and minus any sales tax, VAT or similar tax collected. Temporary card-check holds, authorisations that are never captured, and purchases made through third-party stores such as Whop are not Net Revenue. Discounts the customer receives (for example the 50% off their first paid month) reduce Net Revenue.
Commission Period
The 12 months starting on the date of the Referred Customer’s first payment to ArbTrader.
Cleared
A commission is Cleared 30 days after the payment it comes from, if that payment has not been refunded or disputed by then.

3. Who can join

  1. You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract where you live.
  2. You must have an ArbTrader account with a confirmed email address. One affiliate account per person.
  3. You must give us accurate information (legal name, country and payout details) and keep it up to date.
  4. You may not join if you live in a country, or are a person, that US sanctions laws prohibit us from paying.
  5. We may decline or close any affiliate account at our discretion, subject to Section 12.

4. Commission

  1. Rate. We pay you 50% of the Net Revenue we collect from each Referred Customer during that customer’s Commission Period. After the Commission Period ends, no further commission is earned on that customer.
  2. Start date. Only payments made on or after October 23, 2026 earn commission. Referral rewards for payments before that date were given under the earlier referral offer.
  3. Our records decide. Commissions are calculated from our account and Stripe records. If you think a referral or payment is missing, email [email protected] within 60 days of the payment and we will look into it in good faith.
  4. Not covered. No commission is earned on yourself, on accounts you own or control, on people who reach ArbTrader through a separate creator code, or on payments made outside ArbTrader’s own Stripe checkout.

5. Holding period and payouts

  1. 30-day hold. Each commission is held for 30 days after the payment it comes from, to cover refunds and chargebacks.
  2. Monthly payouts. Once a month, normally within the first 15 days, we pay your Cleared balance if it is at least US$25. Smaller balances carry over to the next month.
  3. How you are paid. We pay in US dollars by Zelle or Apple Cash, to the email address or phone number you give us on your affiliates page. Both services generally need a US bank account or a US Apple Account; if you can’t receive either, email [email protected] and we’ll try to agree another way, but we don’t have to offer one. We cover our side’s sending fees; any fees your provider charges you to receive or convert the money are yours. You are responsible for the payout details being correct; a payment sent to the details you gave counts as paid.
  4. Tax information. We may ask for tax information (for example IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN) before paying you, and we may hold payouts until you provide it. You are responsible for your own taxes on what you earn.
  5. Clawbacks. If a payment is refunded or charged back after its commission was paid, that commission is taken off your future commissions. If your affiliate account closes with a negative balance from refunds or chargebacks, you agree to repay it on request.

6. How you may promote ArbTrader

You may share Your Link anywhere you have the right to post, as long as you follow these rules:

  1. Disclose. Every time you share Your Link or promote ArbTrader, clearly say that you earn a commission, for example “#ad”, “affiliate link” or “I earn a commission if you sign up”, placed where people will see it before they click. This follows the US Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guides and similar laws elsewhere.
  2. Be honest. Only say things about ArbTrader that are true and that you believe. Never say or imply that ArbTrader or prediction-market trading is guaranteed, risk-free or a sure profit, never state how much anyone will earn, and never present ArbTrader as financial advice. Spreads can disappear before a trade is placed and trading can lose money.
  3. No spam. No unsolicited bulk email, text messages or direct messages, no automated or repeated comment posting, and nothing that breaks anti-spam laws (such as CAN-SPAM or the TCPA) or a platform’s rules.
  4. No brand bidding or look-alikes. Don’t buy search or social ads on “ArbTrader” or misspellings of it, and don’t register domains, usernames or pages that could be mistaken for ArbTrader’s own.
  5. Don’t pose as us, Kalshi or Polymarket. Don’t claim to work for ArbTrader or to speak for it, and don’t say ArbTrader is affiliated with or endorsed by Kalshi, Polymarket or any exchange; it isn’t.
  6. No gaming the program. No self-referrals, fake or duplicate accounts, cookie stuffing, hidden links, or paying people (in cash, rebates or by sharing your commission) to sign up, unless we agree in writing first.
  7. Adults only. Don’t aim promotions at people under 18, and don’t promote ArbTrader where prediction markets or the promotion of them is not allowed.
  8. Follow the law and platform rules. You are responsible for following the laws and the platform terms that apply to your content.

7. Content creator program

  1. Affiliates who make videos, posts, streams or newsletters about ArbTrader can apply to the content creator program from the affiliates page. We decide on applications at our discretion and may decline without giving a reason.
  2. Anything extra for approved creators (such as free access, a custom code, flat fees or a different commission) applies only if we agree to it in writing; an email from [email protected] counts. Unless that written agreement says otherwise, this Agreement applies to it.
  3. All creator content must follow Section 6.
  4. You grant ArbTrader a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to share, repost and embed content you publish about ArbTrader in ArbTrader’s own channels and website, with credit to you. Using your content in paid ads needs your separate permission.

8. Using our name and logo

While you are an affiliate, you may use the ArbTrader name and the logo and screenshots we provide or that appear on our site, only to promote ArbTrader under this Agreement. Don’t change them or use them in a way that suggests we endorse anything else. This permission is limited, non-exclusive and revocable, and ends when this Agreement ends or when we ask you to stop.

9. Our relationship

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement makes you our employee, partner, agent or joint venturer, and you can’t make promises or sign anything on ArbTrader’s behalf. You pay your own costs of promoting ArbTrader.

10. Confidential information

If we share anything with you that isn’t public (for example unreleased features, plans or numbers), keep it confidential and use it only for the Program.

11. Your information

To run the Program we keep your legal name, country, payout details, the record of your signature (the time, your IP address and browser, the version and fingerprint of this Agreement), your commission records and any creator application. We use them only to run the Program, pay you, meet tax and legal duties and prevent fraud, as described in our Privacy Policy. Referred Customers’ personal details are never shared with you; you see masked emails and amounts only.

12. Ending the agreement

  1. You can leave the Program at any time by emailing [email protected]. We can end this Agreement for any reason with 30 days’ notice by email.
  2. We can suspend or end your participation immediately if you break this Agreement, if we reasonably suspect fraud, or if the law requires it.
  3. When this Agreement ends for any reason other than your breach or fraud, we will still pay commissions on Net Revenue collected before the end date, once Cleared, even if your balance is under US$25. If it ends because you broke Section 6 or committed fraud, unpaid commissions are forfeited to the extent the law allows.
  4. Sections 5.4, 5.5, 7.4, 10 to 12 and 15 to 18 continue after this Agreement ends.

13. Changes to the agreement or the Program

We may change this Agreement, the commission rate or the Program, or close the Program, by emailing you at least 30 days before the change takes effect. A change never reduces commission on payments we collected before it takes effect. If you keep taking part after the change takes effect, you accept it; if you don’t agree, you can leave the Program before then. Each version of this Agreement is dated, and the version you signed is recorded with your signature.

14. No guaranteed earnings

We don’t promise that you will earn any amount. How much you earn depends on who signs up and pays, which we don’t control.

15. Disclaimers and limit of liability

The Program, Your Link and the affiliates page are provided “as is”. We try to keep tracking accurate and the site running but don’t promise either will be error-free. To the extent the law allows, ArbTrader is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or lost profits, arising from the Program, and our total liability to you under this Agreement is limited to the commissions paid or payable to you in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

16. Responsibility for your content

You are responsible for the content you publish and how you promote ArbTrader. You agree to cover ArbTrader’s reasonable losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) from claims by others that arise from your content or your breach of Section 6 or of the law.

17. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.

18. Electronic signature and records

You agree to sign this Agreement electronically and to receive it, notices and records about it electronically, under the US E-SIGN Act and similar laws. Typing your full legal name and ticking the boxes on the affiliates page is your signature and has the same effect as signing on paper. When you sign, we email a copy of the details of what you signed to your account email, and you can read this version at this address at any time. You may ask for a paper copy, or withdraw consent to electronic records (which ends your participation), by emailing [email protected].

19. General

  1. This Agreement and the Terms of Service are the whole agreement about the Program. If they conflict about the Program, this Agreement wins.
  2. If any part of this Agreement can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a part right away doesn’t waive it.
  3. You may not transfer this Agreement. We may transfer it to a successor of ArbTrader’s business, which must keep paying commissions owed under it.
  4. Notices to you go to your account email; notices to us go to [email protected].
