Program Overview
Approved partners may receive a unique referral link, custom referral code, access to a partner dashboard, and approved promotional assets. The Program is designed to reward partners for referring paying subscribers to SteadyTrader.
Participation is non-exclusive. Affiliates are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, brokers, investment advisers, fiduciaries, or legal representatives of SteadyTrader. Affiliates have no authority to bind SteadyTrader or make commitments on SteadyTrader’s behalf.
Recurring Commission Tiers
SteadyTrader currently offers recurring commission rates based on the number of active referrals attributed to the affiliate’s account:
- Partner - 15% recurring commission: begins with the affiliate’s first active referral.
- Pro - 20% recurring commission: available at 15 or more active referrals.
- Elite - 25% recurring commission: available at 50 or more active referrals.
The Program is therefore advertised as offering up to 25% recurring commission.
An “active referral” is a referred customer whose qualifying SteadyTrader subscription is active, paid, in good standing, and not disqualified because of a refund, chargeback, fraud, prohibited self-referral, payment failure, or other Program violation.
Affiliate tier status is determined by SteadyTrader’s tracking systems and partner dashboard. Unless a written offer or dashboard notice states otherwise, tier changes apply prospectively to qualifying subscription payments processed while the affiliate is in that tier. If the number of active referrals falls below a tier threshold, the affiliate may move to the applicable lower tier.
SteadyTrader’s partner dashboard and payment records are the controlling records for active-referral counts, tier status, qualifying payments, commissions, adjustments, and payout amounts.
Recurring Commission Eligibility
Subject to these Affiliate Terms, commission may accrue on qualifying subscription payments made by an eligible referred customer for as long as that referral remains actively subscribed and properly attributed to the affiliate.
A payment qualifies only when:
- the customer is validly attributed to the affiliate through an approved link, code, or other SteadyTrader tracking method;
- SteadyTrader actually receives the applicable subscription payment;
- the payment is not fraudulent, reversed, refunded, charged back, or otherwise disqualified;
- the referral is not a prohibited self-referral or manipulated transaction; and
- the affiliate remains compliant with the Program.
Taxes, refunded amounts, chargebacks, credits, fraudulent payments, complimentary access, and other non-qualifying amounts may be excluded from commission calculations. Any campaign-specific or dashboard terms displayed by SteadyTrader control where they differ from these general rules.
Buyer Discount
An approved affiliate referral code currently gives an eligible referred customer 10% off the customer’s first qualifying SteadyTrader payment.
The 10% buyer discount applies only to the first qualifying payment unless SteadyTrader expressly states otherwise. It may not be combined with another discount, promotion, or code unless SteadyTrader allows the combination. Affiliates may not represent the discount as recurring, permanent, or greater than 10% unless SteadyTrader has provided written authorization for that specific promotion.
SteadyTrader may modify, suspend, or discontinue the buyer incentive prospectively.
Attribution
Each eligible signup must be attributed to the affiliate through SteadyTrader’s approved tracking system. SteadyTrader may use referral links, referral codes, account records, cookies, payment records, or other reasonable attribution methods.
Affiliates must not manipulate attribution through cookie stuffing, forced clicks, misleading redirects, self-referrals, duplicate accounts, automated signups, fraudulent transactions, or other artificial methods.
Where multiple referral sources are involved, SteadyTrader’s tracking records and applicable Program rules determine attribution.
Payouts
Earned commissions are summarized by the applicable payout cycle and partner dashboard. Payout timing, payment methods, minimum payout requirements, tax documentation requirements, and any other payout mechanics are those shown in the affiliate dashboard or communicated by SteadyTrader.
SteadyTrader may reasonably withhold, offset, reverse, or claw back commission connected to refunds, chargebacks, payment disputes, fraud, duplicate attribution, prohibited promotion, Program violations, or other non-qualifying activity.
Affiliates are responsible for maintaining accurate payment and tax information. SteadyTrader may delay payment when required tax, identity, or payment information is missing or incomplete.
Required Affiliate Disclosure
Affiliates must clearly and conspicuously disclose their material relationship with SteadyTrader whenever promoting SteadyTrader in a context where that relationship could affect how a consumer evaluates the endorsement.
The disclosure must be easy to notice and understand and should appear with the endorsement itself, not only in a profile page, footer, or separate terms page.
Appropriate examples may include:
- “I may earn a commission if you subscribe through my link.”
- “Paid partner of SteadyTrader.”
- “Affiliate link - I may receive compensation.”
Affiliates are responsible for complying with applicable endorsement, advertising, and platform rules.
Financial-Promotion Standards
Because SteadyTrader provides market-structure analytics and trading-related software, affiliates must promote it responsibly.
Affiliates may not:
- promise or imply guaranteed profits, guaranteed accuracy, guaranteed trading success, risk-free trading, or certain market outcomes;
- claim that SteadyTrader will make a user profitable;
- make false, misleading, unsubstantiated, cherry-picked, or deceptive claims about returns, win rates, model accuracy, data quality, or typical user outcomes;
- present hypothetical, backtested, simulated, paper-trading, or historical results as actual customer results;
- state or imply that SteadyTrader is a broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, commodity trading adviser, exchange, fiduciary, or other regulated financial professional unless SteadyTrader has expressly authorized the exact statement;
- fabricate reviews, testimonials, screenshots, profits, social proof, scarcity, endorsements, or customer experiences;
- target minors with promotions for trading analytics; or
- omit material risk disclosures when SteadyTrader requires them for a campaign.
Affiliates must use reasonable context when showing trading-related outcomes and must not imply that past or hypothetical performance predicts future results.
Brand and Promotional Materials
Affiliates may use approved SteadyTrader logos, referral links, referral codes, screenshots, descriptions, and campaign assets solely to promote SteadyTrader in accordance with these Affiliate Terms.
Affiliates may not:
- register a domain, business name, social handle, app, or account that impersonates SteadyTrader or is confusingly similar to a SteadyTrader brand;
- purchase paid-search advertising on SteadyTrader trademarks or common misspellings without written authorization;
- use spam, unlawful automated messaging, adware, spyware, malware, deceptive redirects, forced clicks, or misleading advertisements;
- publish unauthorized coupon codes or invent discounts;
- materially alter approved SteadyTrader materials in a way that creates a misleading claim; or
- claim to be an employee, official spokesperson, or representative authorized to speak for SteadyTrader.
All goodwill associated with use of SteadyTrader trademarks belongs to SteadyTrader LLC.
Self-Referrals and Manipulation
Unless SteadyTrader expressly approves otherwise in writing, affiliates may not earn commission on their own subscription or on a subscription created primarily to generate affiliate compensation.
SteadyTrader may disqualify related-party transactions, duplicate accounts, circular payments, fraudulent customers, manipulated subscriptions, or other transactions that do not represent genuine customer acquisition.
Refunds, Cancellations, and Chargebacks
If a referred payment is refunded, reversed, charged back, canceled, disputed, or determined to be non-qualifying, SteadyTrader may reverse the corresponding commission or offset it against current or future affiliate earnings.
A referred customer who cancels or otherwise ceases to maintain an active qualifying subscription will no longer count as an active referral for purposes of recurring commission and tier qualification, subject to the Program’s dashboard rules.
Taxes
Affiliates are responsible for their own income, sales, use, VAT/GST, self-employment, or other taxes arising from affiliate compensation, except for amounts SteadyTrader is legally required to withhold or remit.
Affiliates must provide any tax forms or taxpayer information reasonably requested by SteadyTrader before payment.
Monitoring and Compliance
SteadyTrader may review public affiliate content, referral quality, complaints, conversion activity, account patterns, and other information reasonably necessary to administer the Program.
Affiliates must promptly correct or remove noncompliant promotional content when requested. SteadyTrader may suspend referrals or payouts while investigating suspected fraud or material Program violations.
Suspension and Termination
Either party may end the affiliate relationship.
SteadyTrader may suspend or terminate participation immediately for fraud, deceptive marketing, misleading financial claims, self-referral manipulation, legal violations, trademark misuse, abusive conduct, security abuse, chargeback manipulation, or conduct reasonably likely to harm SteadyTrader, its customers, or the integrity of the Program.
Upon termination, the affiliate must stop presenting themselves as a SteadyTrader affiliate and must stop using SteadyTrader trademarks and Program assets except where continued use is expressly authorized.
Treatment of previously referred customers and unpaid commissions following termination will be determined by these Affiliate Terms, the affiliate dashboard, the reason for termination, and any written Program terms in effect at the time. Commissions associated with fraud, violations, refunds, chargebacks, or other disqualified activity are not owed.
Intellectual Property License
While the affiliate remains approved and compliant, SteadyTrader grants a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use approved Program materials solely for authorized SteadyTrader promotion.
No ownership in SteadyTrader intellectual property is transferred. The license ends when participation ends or when SteadyTrader withdraws authorization for a particular asset.
Confidentiality
Non-public Program information, unreleased features, private campaign materials, security information, customer information, confidential business information, and any non-public rates or arrangements specifically designated confidential may not be disclosed or used outside authorized Program participation.
No Guarantee of Earnings
SteadyTrader does not guarantee that an affiliate will generate referrals, conversions, commissions, or any particular level of income.
Tracking services, referral links, dashboards, or payment systems may occasionally experience delays, outages, errors, or adjustments. SteadyTrader will use its records and reasonable judgment to resolve Program discrepancies.
Indemnification and Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the liability limitations and dispute-resolution provisions in the SteadyTrader Terms of Service apply to the Program.
The affiliate agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SteadyTrader LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims arising from the affiliate’s unlawful promotion, misleading statements, infringement, spam, violation of platform rules, violation of advertising law, or breach of these Affiliate Terms, except to the extent indemnification cannot lawfully be required.
Changes to the Program
SteadyTrader may prospectively modify Program rates, referral thresholds, buyer incentives, qualifying products, payout mechanics, attribution rules, or other Program terms.
Material changes will be communicated through the affiliate dashboard, email, website, or another reasonable Program channel when required or appropriate.
Continued participation after an effective change constitutes acceptance of the updated Affiliate Terms to the extent permitted by law.
Governing Terms and Contact
These Affiliate Terms supplement the SteadyTrader Terms of Service. If a conflict exists regarding the Affiliate Program, these Affiliate Terms control as to the Program unless a specific written affiliate agreement states otherwise.
Questions regarding the Program may be sent to support@steadytrader.co or through the affiliate support channel provided by SteadyTrader.
