Affiliate Program Terms

2.1 Who may participate

To participate in the Program, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age and of legal age to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction;
• Have an active QuantGlide account in good standing, OR be approved by us as a referral partner without being a QuantGlide customer;
• Not be an employee, contractor, officer, or owner of Riptide Trading LLC or any of its affiliates;
• Not be a resident of any jurisdiction in which the Program would be unlawful;
• Accept these Affiliate Terms and the Main Terms.

2.2 Approval is discretionary

We may approve, deny, or revoke Program participation at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion. Approval does not create any employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship between you and Riptide Trading LLC.

3.1 Manual notification — required before signup

The Program uses manual referral tracking. To register a referral, you must notify QuantGlide by direct message to the founder (via Discord, X/Twitter, email, or any other channel we designate) before the prospective customer (the “Prospect”) signs up. Your notification must include:

• The Prospect’s full name (first and last);
• The email address the Prospect intends to use at QuantGlide signup, if known to you;
• Any other identifying information we reasonably request (e.g., phone number, social handle) to disambiguate the Prospect.

A referral notification is considered received only when QuantGlide acknowledges it in reply. Until acknowledgment, no referral is registered. You are responsible for confirming acknowledgment; we are not obligated to acknowledge notifications outside ordinary business hours.

3.2 No retroactive notification

Referrals notified to QuantGlide after the Prospect has already signed up do not qualify under any circumstances. This rule is strict and admits no exceptions. The purpose is to prevent post-hoc claims on customers you did not actually refer. If the Prospect signs up before our acknowledgment of your notification, the referral does not qualify.

3.3 Validity window

A registered referral notification remains valid for 60 days from the date of QuantGlide’s acknowledgment. If the Prospect signs up for a qualifying plan within that window, the referral is eligible for qualification under Section 5. If the Prospect does not sign up within that window, the notification expires and a new notification would be required for any future signup by that same Prospect.

3.4 Single-Affiliate attribution

Each Prospect may only be the subject of one valid registered notification at a time. If two Affiliates submit notifications for the same Prospect, the first acknowledged notification wins. If the first notification expires under Section 3.3 without a signup, a new notification may be submitted (by any Affiliate, including a different one) and treated as the new active notification for that Prospect.

3.5 No retroactive attribution to existing customers

Persons who already hold or have previously held a paid QuantGlide subscription, trial, or account credit are not eligible to be referred under this Program, regardless of any later plan change, upgrade, or re-signup.

6.1 Issuance

Referral Credit is applied to your QuantGlide account immediately upon qualification per Section 5 — at the moment the Prospect’s paid signup is recorded by our systems. The credit reduces the amount due on your next monthly QuantGlide invoice; if your next invoice has already been issued at the time of qualification, the credit applies to the invoice after that. Credits are denominated in U.S. Dollars (USD) and we will confirm credit issuance to you in writing.

6.2 Application of Credit

Available Referral Credit is automatically applied against your next QuantGlide invoice for the monthly platform fee on a qualifying plan. Credits are applied in the order they were earned (first-in, first-out). If your invoice amount is less than your available credit balance, the unused credit remains on your account for application to subsequent invoices, subject to Section 6.4.

6.3 What Credit cannot be applied to

Referral Credit may be applied against any QuantGlide charge billed to your account, including the monthly platform fee, the one-time license fee (labeled the “setup fee” before August 25, 2026), and the revenue-share fee calculated as a percentage of your trading profits. However, Referral Credit may not be:

• Redeemed for cash or any cash equivalent;
• Transferred to another QuantGlide account, sold, traded, or assigned;
• Applied to brokerage commissions, regulatory fees, exchange fees, or other third-party charges that QuantGlide does not invoice directly;
• Combined with promotional or marketing discounts unless we explicitly permit such combination in writing.

6.4 Expiration

Referral Credit does not expire by date alone. However, if your QuantGlide account becomes inactive (no active paid plan and no logins) for 12 consecutive months, any outstanding Referral Credit balance is automatically forfeited. Credit is also forfeited if your account is terminated for cause under Section 11.

7.1 Truthful representations

You must accurately represent QuantGlide, its services, pricing, and performance. You must not make any claims about returns, win rates, drawdowns, or other performance metrics that are not consistent with the figures published by QuantGlide or that imply guaranteed outcomes. Trading involves substantial risk; you must not claim or imply that the QuantGlide algorithm is risk-free, guaranteed profitable, or appropriate for every investor.

7.2 Disclosure

You must disclose your affiliate relationship with QuantGlide when promoting our services, in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) and any comparable laws or regulations applicable in your jurisdiction. Disclosures must be clear, conspicuous, and proximate to the recommendation (e.g., “I receive a referral credit if you sign up using my link”).

7.3 Prohibited conduct

The following are strictly prohibited and constitute grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of credits:

• Self-referrals, including referrals to accounts owned or controlled by you, family members, or any related party;
• Submitting referral notifications for persons you have not actually spoken with or who have not expressed interest in QuantGlide;
• Submitting referral notifications for persons who have already signed up or expressed an intent to sign up independent of you;
• Coordinating with other Affiliates to circumvent the single-Affiliate attribution rule in Section 3.4;
• Creating fake accounts, fraudulent signups, or any other form of wash or sham referral;
• Spamming, unsolicited bulk email, SMS, or messaging that violates anti-spam laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL, etc.);
• Misrepresenting your identity or that you are an employee, agent, or representative of QuantGlide or Riptide Trading LLC;
• Making any statement that could be construed as investment advice or a guarantee of trading results;
• Promoting QuantGlide in any jurisdiction where it is not available or in any manner inconsistent with applicable securities, commodities, or financial-services laws;
• Using QuantGlide or Riptide Trading LLC trademarks or branded materials in any disparaging, deceptive, or unauthorized manner.

7.4 Compliance

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your promotional activities comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and platform-specific policies (including but not limited to those of Meta, X, Google, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, and any email-marketing platforms you use).

8.1 Investigation

We may, at our sole discretion and at any time, investigate any referral activity that appears irregular, fraudulent, or in violation of these Affiliate Terms. During an investigation, we may withhold issuance of Referral Credit or freeze pending credits until the investigation concludes.

8.2 Clawback

If we determine that Referral Credit was issued in error, in violation of these terms, or as a result of activity covered in Section 7.3, we may:

• Reverse the issuance of the affected Referral Credit;
• Reverse any applications of that credit against past invoices and re-invoice you for the underlying charges;
• Suspend or terminate your participation in the Program under Section 11;
• Terminate your QuantGlide account under the Main Terms;
• Pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity.

8.3 Refunds & chargebacks

Because Referral Credit is issued instantly upon the Prospect’s paid signup, it is provisional until the 30-day reversal window has elapsed. If the Prospect obtains a refund, chargeback, payment dispute, or any other reversal of the qualifying payment within 30 days of that payment, the corresponding Referral Credit is immediately rescinded. If the credit has already been applied to one of your QuantGlide invoices (in part or in full), the value of that credit is deducted from your remaining account balance; if your balance is insufficient, the difference is added to your next invoice as an offsetting charge.

11.1 Term

Your participation in the Program begins upon our approval of your enrollment and continues until terminated by either party in accordance with this Section 11.

11.2 Termination for convenience

Either party may terminate your participation in the Program for any reason or no reason by giving the other party at least 14 days’ written notice (email to the address on file is sufficient). Upon termination for convenience, Referral Credit earned in good faith prior to termination remains available for application against your next QuantGlide invoice for a period of 90 days, after which any unredeemed balance is forfeited.

11.3 Termination for cause

We may terminate your participation immediately, without notice, if you breach these Affiliate Terms, the Main Terms, or engage in conduct described in Section 7.3 or Section 8. Upon termination for cause, all pending and unredeemed Referral Credit is forfeited.

11.4 Survival

Sections 8 (Fraud & Clawback), 9 (Independent Status), 10 (Intellectual Property), 12 (Disclaimers), 13 (Limitation of Liability), and 14 (Governing Law & Disputes) survive any termination of your Program participation.
