# Affiliate Program Terms

## 1.Introduction

These Affiliate Program Terms (“**Terms**”) form part of the Baltex Terms of Service and govern your participation in the **Baltex Affiliate Program** (the “**Program**”). By joining the Program, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not enroll.

* **About Baltex.** Baltex provides non-custodial crypto swap tooling and APIs (cross-chain, private swaps, and DEX routing). Baltex is not a custodian and does not hold user funds.

## 2. Definitions

* **Affiliate / you** — the individual or entity enrolled in the Program.
* **Affiliate Link** — a unique URL or key that attributes eligible transactions to you.
* **Tools** — Baltex promotional and technical assets (widgets, banners, APIs, SDKs) that embed or refer users to Baltex.
* **Referral / Referred User** — a user who lands via your Affiliate Link and completes an **Eligible Transaction**.
* **Eligible Transaction** — a completed, irreversible swap/order that (i) is tracked to your Affiliate Link, (ii) is not cancelled/refunded/charged back, and (iii) is compliant with these Terms and applicable law.

## 3. Enrollment

3.1 **Application.** Apply through the Baltex partner portal or the channel provided by Baltex. Baltex may approve or reject applications at its discretion.\
3.2 **Account.** You must provide accurate details and keep credentials secure.\
3.3 **Territory/Jurisdictions.** You may not enroll from, or promote into, prohibited jurisdictions or to sanctioned persons.\
3.4 **Program Changes.** Baltex may modify, suspend, or terminate the Program at any time on notice.

## 4. Affiliate Tools & Implementation

4.1 **Permitted use.** You may use Baltex Links, widgets, and API endpoints solely to promote Baltex and route users to supported flows. Do not modify Tools beyond configuration options we provide.\
4.2 **Brand usage.** Baltex grants a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use its name/logo solely to promote Baltex under these Terms and any brand guidelines we share. No ownership or broader rights are granted.\
4.3 **No implied partnership.** Do not present yourself as Baltex, our agent, or as having power to bind us. All messaging must accurately describe Baltex’s non-custodial nature.

## 5. Tracking, Attribution & Cookies

5.1 **How tracking works.** Attribution relies on your Affiliate Link (and, where applicable, cookies or session identifiers).\
5.2 **Attribution window.** Unless otherwise agreed, the last-click attribution window is **\[24 hours]**. Transactions completed after the window or without valid tracking are not eligible.\
5.3 **Disputes.** Baltex’s tracking records control in case of attribution discrepancies.

## 6. Commission & Payouts

6.1 **Commission.** For each Eligible Transaction, you earn **\[Commission Rate — e.g., 0.4% of Baltex** Cross Chain **Flow and 0.1% for DeFi Flow]**. The exact rate and covered products are stated in your partner dashboard or IO (insertion order). (Commission models and single-tier structures are common in crypto affiliate programs.) \
6.2 **Exclusions/Adjustments.** No commission is due on: cancelled, refunded, reversed, fraudulent, self-referred, or non-compliant transactions; transactions outside the attribution window; traffic that breaches these Terms. Baltex may claw back or offset prior payouts for later reversals or fraud.\
6.3 **Minimum payout & schedule.** Baltex pays in **\[Payout Asset(s): e.g., BTC]**, once your accrued, approved balance exceeds **\[Minimum Payout — e.g., 0.0005 BTC]**. Lower balances roll over. (Low crypto-denominated payout thresholds are typical in the sector.)\
6.4 **KYC/Tax.** Baltex may require Affiliate KYC/AML screening before any payout and withhold payments where legally required. You are responsible for your taxes.

## 7. Affiliate Conduct (What’s OK / Not OK)

7.1 **You must:**

* comply with all laws (marketing, privacy, sanctions, consumer protection), these Terms, and Baltex Terms/Privacy;
* make only accurate, lawful claims about Baltex;
* disclose affiliate relationships where required (e.g., #ad/#affiliate).

\
7.2 **You must not:**

* spam, use forced clicks, cookie stuffing, adware, toolbars, or deceptive overlays;
* buy ads on **Baltex-branded** keywords or bid on confusingly similar terms without Baltex’s written consent;
* misrepresent features, fabricate “guaranteed earnings,” or provide financial/investment advice;
* impersonate Baltex, simulate our UI, or falsely claim partnership/endorsement;
* promote Baltex on illegal, hateful, adult, or high-risk properties;
* target prohibited jurisdictions or sanctioned persons;
* incentivize trades in ways that violate law or these Terms (airdrops/scams, wash trades, self-referrals).\
  (Brand-keyword restrictions and harmful-activity bans are standard in affiliate terms.)

## 8. Content & IP

8.1 **Quality standards.** Content must be truthful, up-to-date, and not misleading. Remove or update content upon Baltex’s reasonable request.\
8.2 **IP ownership.** All Baltex IP remains Baltex’s. You receive no rights other than the limited license in §4.2.\
8.3 **Take-downs.** Baltex may request removal of infringing or non-compliant content; you will act promptly.

## 9. Privacy & Data Protection

9.1 **Controllers.** You act as an independent controller for your audience and must provide a compliant privacy notice and obtain all required consents (e.g., cookies).\
9.2 **Sharing.** Do not collect or share personal data with Baltex beyond what the Tools require. Handle all data per applicable privacy laws and Baltex’s Privacy Policy.

## 10. Compliance, Fraud & Audit

10.1 **Anti-fraud.** Baltex may review traffic sources, click-paths, and conversions. We may withhold or adjust commissions for fraud, violation, or anomalous patterns.\
10.2 **Audit cooperation.** On request, provide reasonable logs or evidence of traffic sources and placements.\
10.3 **Suspension.** We may suspend links/Tools and hold payments during an investigation.

## 11. Term & Termination

11.1 **Convenience.** Either party may terminate for convenience with **\[7]** days’ written notice.\
11.2 **For cause.** Baltex may terminate immediately for breach, fraud, legal risk, or platform harm.\
11.3 **Effect.** After termination, stop using Baltex brand/Tools and remove Affiliate Links. Approved, undisputed commissions accrued up to termination will be paid on the next cycle (subject to lawful holds, chargebacks, or fraud review). Sections **8–15** survive.

## 12. Disclaimers

Baltex provides the Program and Tools **“AS IS”** and **“AS AVAILABLE.”** We do not guarantee specific earnings, conversion rates, uptime, or uninterrupted tracking.

## 13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Baltex is **not liable** for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; or lost profits/revenue/data; and our aggregate liability related to the Program will not exceed the **commissions paid to you in the 12 months** before the claim.

## 14. Indemnification

You will indemnify Baltex, affiliates, officers, employees, and agents against **third-party claims** (and reasonable legal costs) arising from your (i) breach of these Terms, law, or third-party rights; (ii) non-compliant marketing; or (iii) misuse of the Tools—except to the extent caused by Baltex’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

## 15. Confidentiality

Non-public information we share (dashboards, rates, roadmaps, agreements) is confidential; use it only for the Program and protect it with reasonable care.

## 16. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of **Costa Rica**. Courts of Costa Rica shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

## 17. Changes

We may update these Terms; changes take effect on posting unless a later date is stated. Continued participation after changes constitutes acceptance.
