These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Rebates Nation website, web app and mobile app (together, the "Service"), operated by Arrissa (Pty) Ltd ("Rebates Nation", "we", "us" or "our").
By creating an account, linking a trading account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Please read section 6 (How rebates work), section 9 (Prohibited conduct) and sections 13 to 15 (disclaimers, liability and indemnity) carefully. They limit our responsibility and allow us to withhold, reverse or stop rebates in certain situations.
1. Definitions
•
"Broker" means Exness and any of its group companies that provide your trading account, and any other broker we add to the Service in future.
•
"Partnership" means our introducing partner (affiliate) relationship with the Broker, under which the Broker pays us a partner commission for trading by clients registered under us.
•
"Partner Commission" means the commission or reward the Broker calculates and pays to us for trading on your Linked Account.
•
"Rebate" means the part of the Partner Commission that we arrange for the Broker to pay back to you, as described in these Terms.
•
"Linked Account" means a Broker trading account that is registered under our Partnership and linked to your Rebates Nation account.
•
"Level" means the rebate tier (for example Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Ultimate) that sets the Rebate percentage for a Linked Account.
•
"Month" means a calendar month, as recorded by our systems.
2. What Rebates Nation is, and is not
Rebates Nation is a rebate service run by an introducing partner of the Broker. When you trade on a Linked Account, the Broker pays us a Partner Commission. We share part of that Partner Commission with you as a Rebate, which the Broker pays directly into your trading account.
We are not a broker, bank, investment firm, payment institution or financial adviser. We do not execute trades, hold your money, manage your trading account, or have access to the funds in it. We never ask for your Broker password, and you must never give it to us.
The Broker is an independent company. We do not control the Broker, its prices, spreads, commissions, platforms, verification checks, deposits, withdrawals or decisions. Your trading relationship is with the Broker alone and is governed by the Broker's own terms. "Exness" and related marks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the Broker.
Nothing in the Service is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, or a recommendation to trade. Any figures we show are for information only.
3. Eligibility
To use the Service you must:
•
be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) and able to enter into a binding contract;
•
not live in, or use the Service from, a country where the Broker does not offer its services, where rebates or trading incentives are not allowed, or where using the Service would break any law;
•
not be a person or entity subject to sanctions, or acting on behalf of one;
•
have your own Broker account, opened in your own name, that is registered under our Partnership.
You may hold only one Rebates Nation account. We may ask you to prove your identity, your ownership of a Broker account, or your eligibility at any time, and may suspend the Service until you do.
4. Your account
You must give accurate, complete and current information, verify your email address, and keep your login details secret. You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us straight away at
[email protected] if you think someone else has accessed it.
Until your email address is verified, we may limit what you can do in the Service. We may still start setting up Rebates for your Linked Accounts during that time, but we may cancel that set-up if the email address is not verified or turns out not to be yours.
5. Linking trading accounts
You can link Broker accounts by entering the email address registered with the Broker. You may only link accounts that you own and control, opened in your own name. You must not enter another person's email address or try to link, view or receive information about accounts that are not yours.
Only accounts registered under our Partnership can earn Rebates. Accounts registered under another partner, or with no partner, do not qualify until they are registered under our Partnership in line with the Broker's rules. If you move to us from another partner, the Broker may require you to open a new trading account, and only that new account will qualify.
When an account is linked, we ask the Broker to place it in the rebate group for its Level. The Broker may take time to do this, and a new rebate group may only start paying from the next day. Rebates apply only to trading after the account is in the correct rebate group. We do not pay Rebates for earlier trading, and we do not pay any difference ourselves if an account was not in its group for any period.
If we find that an account was linked by someone who does not own it, we will unlink it and may cancel any Rebates connected to it, suspend the accounts involved, and inform the Broker.
Linked Accounts with no trading for 90 days may be treated as archived and hidden in the Service. They may be removed from rebate groups.
6. How rebates work
Rebates are a percentage of the Partner Commission the Broker pays us for your trading on each Linked Account. They are not a percentage of your deposits, profits, losses or trade size. When we say "up to 40% of your trading fees back", we mean up to 40% of that Partner Commission, at the highest Level.
The Levels at the date of these Terms are:
•
Level 1, Bronze: 20% Rebate. Starting level for every Linked Account.
•
Level 2, Silver: 25% Rebate. Monthly target $50 in Rebates.
•
Level 3, Gold: 30% Rebate. Monthly target $100 in Rebates.
•
Level 4, Platinum: 35% Rebate. Monthly target $350 in Rebates.
•
Level 5, Ultimate: 40% Rebate. Monthly target $650 in Rebates.
The following rules apply:
•
Each Linked Account has its own Level. Rebates from different accounts, or from different people, are never combined to reach a target.
•
Only Rebates the Broker has paid, or is due to pay, count towards a target. Rejected, failed, cancelled or reversed Rebates do not count.
•
When an account's Rebates in a Month reach a higher target, we move it up to that Level. Our systems check the Broker's data twice a day, so this normally happens within 12 hours. The new percentage applies only to trading after the Broker has moved the account to the new group. It is not applied to earlier trading.
•
Levels are held month to month. At the end of each Month we review each account. It keeps its Level if that Month's Rebates met the Level's target. Otherwise it moves to the Level those Rebates qualify for, which may be lower.
•
Levels are worked out from the Broker's data as received by our systems. If that data is late, incomplete or corrected, we may review and correct Levels accordingly, including retrospectively.
We may change Rebate percentages, Levels, targets or these rules. We will give you at least 14 days' notice by email or in the Service, unless a change is needed sooner because of the Broker, the law, or to prevent abuse. Changes do not affect Rebates for trading done before the change takes effect.
7. How rebates are paid
Because the Broker pays Rebates out of the Partner Commission, our obligation to arrange a Rebate depends on the Broker calculating and paying that Partner Commission to us. If the Broker does not pay us, pays us less, delays payment, or reverses a Partner Commission (for example because of cancelled trades, chargebacks, fraud checks, compliance reviews or its own rules), the matching Rebate may be reduced, delayed or cancelled.
The Broker may reject or fail to pay a Rebate for its own reasons, including account status, verification, jurisdiction, restrictions on the account or errors in its systems. We will make reasonable efforts to find out why if you ask us, but we are not responsible for the Broker's decisions and we do not pay rejected Rebates ourselves.
Figures in the Service, including totals, pending amounts, Levels and progress, are estimates based on the Broker's data. They may be delayed; for example, payment history is refreshed twice a day. They are not a statement of what you are owed. If our figures differ from the Broker's records of what was paid, the Broker's records prevail. Obvious errors are not binding on us.
If a Rebate is paid to you in error, or is later reversed or clawed back from us by the Broker, you agree that we may deduct the amount from your future Rebates, or ask the Broker to do so, or ask you to repay it.
8. Fees
The Service is free. We do not charge you any fees. We are paid by the Broker through the Partner Commission, and we keep the part of it that is not paid to you as a Rebate. By using the Service you acknowledge that we receive this commission and that it depends on your trading activity.
9. Prohibited conduct and abuse
Rebates reward genuine trading. You must not, alone or with others:
•
trade mainly or only to generate Rebates, including wash trading, churning, or opening and closing positions with no genuine economic purpose;
•
hedge or take opposite positions across your own accounts, other people's accounts, or other brokers so that your risk is cancelled out while commission is generated;
•
coordinate trading with other people, share accounts, or use accounts opened in someone else's name;
•
use arbitrage, latency, pricing errors, system faults, bonus abuse or any strategy the Broker prohibits;
•
open multiple Rebates Nation accounts, or link accounts you do not own;
•
give false information, pretend to be someone else, or get around any limit, check or suspension;
•
use bots, scripts, scrapers or automated tools against the Service, try to access it without permission, test its security, interfere with it, or copy, reverse engineer or resell it;
•
use the Service for money laundering, fraud or any other unlawful purpose.
If we reasonably believe that you have done any of these things, or that trading on an account is abusive or not genuine, we may without notice do any of the following: withhold or cancel pending Rebates; ask for repayment of, or deduct, Rebates already paid; lower an account's Level; remove accounts from rebate groups; suspend or close your account; and report the matter to the Broker or the authorities. We decide these matters reasonably and in good faith, taking into account the Broker's findings. Our decision is final, except where the law gives you a right to challenge it.
10. Your responsibilities
You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their results, for complying with the Broker's terms, and for complying with the laws that apply to you.
You are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes on your Rebates and trading. We do not withhold tax or give tax advice.
11. Risk warning
Trading CFDs, forex and other leveraged products carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose all of the money you invest. Rebates do not reduce your risk of losing money and should never be a reason to trade, to trade more, or to trade larger positions. Past Rebates do not predict future Rebates.
12. Changes, suspension and ending the Service
We may change, suspend or stop the Service, or any feature of it, at any time. This includes if our Partnership with the Broker changes or ends, or if the Broker changes or stops its rebate or partner programme. If the Partnership ends, Rebates stop. We are not responsible for Rebates that the Broker does not pay after that point.
You can stop using the Service and ask us to close your account at any time by contacting
[email protected]. Closing your Rebates Nation account does not change your Broker account. Your trading accounts may stay registered under our Partnership with the Broker unless you ask the Broker to change this.
We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if we are required to by the Broker or by law, or if your account has been inactive for a long period. Sections that by their nature should continue after your account ends will continue, including sections 7, 9 and 13 to 17.
13. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent allowed by law, we make no promises about the Service being uninterrupted, error-free, secure or accurate. We do not promise any amount, level or timing of Rebates, or that any Broker account will qualify.
The Service relies on the Broker's systems and data, and on other third-party services. We are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, delays or failures.
14. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
Subject to that, to the fullest extent allowed by law:
•
we are not liable for any trading losses, lost profits, lost opportunities, loss of data or goodwill, or any indirect, special or consequential loss;
•
we are not liable for acts or omissions of the Broker, including Rebates it rejects, reverses, delays or does not pay;
•
our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total Rebates paid to you in the 3 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) USD 100.
15. Indemnity
You agree to compensate us for any claims, losses, costs and reasonable legal fees that arise because you broke these Terms, the Broker's terms or the law, or because you linked or used an account that is not yours.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date shows when they last changed. We will give you notice of material changes by email or in the Service before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and ask us to close your account.
