To participate, you must accept these legally binding Terms and Conditions, which govern your relationship with OKX, your promotional activities, intellectual property usage, payment structures, and compliance requirements.

• Sub-Affiliate Link Rules

All referenced documents are incorporated into this agreement and form part of your contractual obligations.

Understanding key terminology ensures clarity throughout your participation:

• Affiliate: The individual or entity enrolled in the Program to promote OKX services.

Program Participation and Duration

Your participation begins on the Effective Date — the moment you accept these Terms. The agreement remains active until either party terminates it according to the provisions outlined below. There is no fixed end date; however, OKX reserves the right to modify or terminate the Program at any time.

You may exit the Program at any time by notifying OKX of your intent to cease participation. However, certain clauses — such as confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and indemnification — will continue to apply even after termination.

Earnings and Commission Payments

How Commissions Work

OKX pays Commissions based on eligible user activity generated through your unique referral links. These payments are calculated according to the Program Rules, which detail commission structures, qualifying trades, and payout thresholds.

All amounts are exclusive of applicable taxes. As an Affiliate, you are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes levied by your local jurisdiction.

Payment Eligibility

To receive payments:

• Maintain accurate account information
• Ensure referred users meet eligibility criteria
• Comply with all Program Rules and applicable laws

Failure to adhere to these conditions may result in withheld or reversed commissions.

👉 Maximize your earning potential with real-time tracking and transparent payouts.
