Partners must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations in their marketing efforts. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, spamming, deceptive practices, and any marketing that could harm the reputation of SK Trading.
Partners must perform their obligations under this Agreement according to industry standards and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

2. Referral Fees
Partners will receive a unique URL to advertise SK Trading. Referral fees of 10% are paid for each qualifying sale. Payments are made on the 25th of each month for transactions that have occurred and been paid to SK Trading. If a sale is refunded or charge-backed, the referral fee will be deducted from future payments. SK Trading may withhold fees for fraudulent or non-compliant referrals. Partners cannot receive fees for affiliated business accounts.
Partner represents and warrants to Company that they are running an independent business and have met all necessary business requirements, including licensing, tax, and any other operational obligations.
Partner is solely responsible for any taxes, including but not limited to income taxes, arising from Referral Fees received from SK Trading. If Partner is not a U.S. resident, SK Trading may be required to withhold taxes, such as VAT, as per applicable laws. In such cases, SK Trading will document the withholding accordingly.
Partner will not receive Referral Fees for transactions made on their own User Account(s). Partners are prohibited from opening a SK Trading account under another person or entity’s name or under a fictitious name. Partners cannot open an account solely to earn Referral Fees, rewards, or any other compensation, including incentives or prizes. Partners may not pay for another person's account or refer themselves or any affiliated business. Offering cash rebates or monetary incentives to Sales is also prohibited. Violating this clause will be considered a material breach of this Agreement, and Partner agrees to repay SK Trading any Referral Fees earned from such violations.
3. termination
Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, any Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, immediately upon giving notice to the other Party.
Fraudulent or unacceptable behavior by Partner, such as violating this Agreement or any SK Trading Policies, as determined by SK Trading in its sole discretion, may lead to actions including but not limited to: (a) termination of the affiliation with SK Trading and all services provided (b) suspension of Partner’s privileges under the Partner Program and/or (c) complete termination of the Partner account without notice or recourse. In such cases, all Referral Fees owed to Partner, whether already earned or yet to be earned, will be forfeited.
If a SK Trading customer account is cancelled or suspended by either Party, Partner’s participation in the Partner Program will automatically end, and no further Referral Fees will be owed. If the Partner later reactivates a SK Trading customer account, they may reapply to participate in the Partner Program and earn Referral Fees on new Sold Accounts. Any Referral Fees earned before termination will be forfeited.
Upon termination of this Agreement: (a) Partner must stop using any SK Trading Materials or Trademarks on websites or elsewhere and (b) all rights granted under this Agreement will cease immediately, including the right to access the Partner Account or receive any Referral Fees, unless otherwise determined by SK Trading.
