Affiliate program — Participation terms

As of: 29 April 2026 · Version 1.0

These participation terms govern the affiliate program of the company FuturesBot, owner Jürgen Hecht (sole proprietor), hereinafter referred to as “Provider" or “FuturesBot", and the participating partner (“Partner").

1. Subject matter of the contract

The partner promotes the software product FuturesBot and its license variants (Trial, Full version, TV Edition, each for Windows or Linux) on their own or third-party platforms. For every license purchase made through the personal affiliate link, the partner receives a commission in accordance with Section 4.

2. Participation requirements

• Of legal age (18+ years)
• Legal capacity at the place of residence
• Valid contact details and a valid payout method (PayPal or bank transfer)
• Registration via the partner registration page and consent to these terms
• Tax reporting of the commission income at the place of residence on your own responsibility

3. Registration & account

Registration is free of charge via the partner registration form. The provider reserves the right to decline registrations without stating reasons or to terminate existing partner accounts with effect for the future, in particular in the event of a violation of Section 5.

4. Commission rules

4.1 Commission rate

The standard commission is 35 % of the net sales price of every FuturesBot license sold via the personal affiliate link. The amount actually paid by the end customer after deduction of any discounts or vouchers is decisive.

4.1a Promotional and special commissions

The provider may announce time-limited promotional or launch commissions (e.g. higher percentages for a ramp-up or special promotion phase). Such promotions are announced on the Partner program page and announced by email to active partners. When the announced promotional period ends, the standard commission under 4.1 automatically applies again; a further advance notice under section 12 is not required for this, because the promotional nature is part of the contract from the outset.

4.2 Cookie lifetime

The affiliate link sets a tracking cookie with a duration of 90 days from the last click. Purchases within these 90 days are attributed to the partner, provided the end customer does not delete the browser cookie and uses the same browser/device.

4.3 Last-click attribution

With several active partner cookies, the last-click principle applies: The partner link clicked last is credited with the sale.

4.4 Cancellation risk / withdrawal

If an end customer exercises their 14-day right of withdrawal or successfully reclaims the license on other grounds, the commission lapses retroactively. Commissions already paid out will be offset against future commissions or reclaimed.

4.5 Own purchases

Own purchases (self-affiliate) are not eligible for commission. Purchases made through the partner's own affiliate link for licenses that the partner uses themselves are not compensated.

5. Prohibited practices

Prohibited in particular are:

• Paid advertising on the brand keyword “FuturesBot” or similar brand names of the provider (incl. designations such as “SignalLotse”, “SignalLotseBot”)
• Cookie stuffing, automated click spam, fake traffic
• Spam in any form (email, social media, forums) without the recipient's consent
• Advertising without an advertising label: partner links and posts must be labeled as advertising (e.g. „Werbung"/„Anzeige" [advertising/advertisement] or a note on the commission link), § 5a Abs. 4 UWG or the respective applicable labeling rules of the platform
• False or misleading statements about the product, performance or provider
• Promises of guaranteed profits or fixed returns
• Trademark infringements or violations of applicable advertising/competition law (UWG)
• Advertising on sites with pornographic, violence-glorifying, discriminatory or legally prohibited content
• Reverse engineering, manipulation or circumvention of the tracking system
• Publication of internal commission information or provider contract details

Violations may lead to immediate termination of the partner account and non-payment of outstanding commissions.

6. Payout

6.1 Payout frequency

Payouts are made monthly, provided the accumulated commission amount is at least 50 € . If the amount is lower, it is carried over to the following month.

6.2 Payout period

Commissions are paid out at the earliest 30 days after completion of the underlying sale (cancellation-risk buffer, withdrawal period expired).

6.3 Payout method

Payout via PayPal or SEPA bank transfer to the payout address stored in the partner account. Any PayPal fees for payouts below 100 € are deducted from the commission amount; for payouts of 100 € or more, the provider bears the standard fees.

6.4 Taxes

Commissions are paid out gross. The correct tax treatment (income tax, where applicable VAT / small business regulation) at the partner's place of residence is the partner's own responsibility. Upon request, the provider provides payout receipts.

7. Brand and advertising material

The partner may use the provider's logo and promotional material, provided these are adopted unchanged and the partnership status remains clearly recognizable. Own texts and reviews are expressly welcome, but must be factually correct and must not downplay the risk of crypto futures trading.

8. Obligation to include a risk notice

9. Contract term & termination

The partnership agreement is concluded for an indefinite period. Either party may terminate it at any time without giving reasons, with 14 days' notice to the end of the month. Extraordinary termination (in particular in the event of a breach of clause 5) is possible at any time without notice.

After termination, outstanding, correctly assigned commissions will be paid out on the next regular payout date.

10. Data protection

The provider processes the partner's data exclusively for handling the partnership relationship. Applicable are the Data protection provisions of the provider. For its part, the partner undertakes to comply with the GDPR (DSGVO) when promoting the product.

11. Liability

The provider is not liable for outages, technical errors or tracking problems that lie outside its sphere of influence (e.g. cookies blocked by the end user, browser add-ons, ad blockers). In the event of demonstrably systematic tracking problems, the provider will work out a fair solution with the partner.

Liability for lost profit or indirect damages is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

12. Changes to these Terms of Participation

The provider reserves the right to amend these participation terms with 30 days' prior notice. Material changes (in particular to the standard commission rate) will be communicated by email to the address on file. If the partner does not object within 30 days, the amended terms are deemed accepted. In the event of an objection, the partnership ends when the change takes effect; commissions accrued up to that point will be paid out.

12a. Configuration of the affiliate program

The provider reserves the right to discontinue the affiliate program entirely at any time with 30 days' advance notice. The discontinuation will be announced on the Partner program page and announced by email to active partners. Until discontinuation, correctly attributed and non-canceled commissions will be paid out on the next regular payout date pursuant to clause 6; tracking cookies already set lose their effect at the time of discontinuation.

13. Final provisions

German law applies. The place of performance and place of jurisdiction is — to the extent permitted by law — the provider's registered office in Germany. Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
