“Effective: June 1st, 2026”
1. New Commission Structure & Overwrite Rules
What does "Overwrite" mean?
An "Overwrite" happens when a client belonging to another affiliate uses your specific link or discount code at checkout, instantly reassigning them to you so you get the commissions moving forward—though their future commissions will always depend strictly on whichever affiliate's link or code they use at checkout.
Example: If a client who originally signed up through Affiliate A buys a new product using your discount code at checkout, they are reassigned to you and you earn the commission; however, if that same client uses Affiliate B's link on a later purchase, they will be overwritten again and the commission will go to Affiliate B.
20% Commission (Years 1 & 2): You earn a 20% commission on any purchase a client makes during their first 2 years with Earn2Trade (calculated from the exact date of their first-ever purchase).
5% Commission (Year 3 onward): If a client has been with Earn2Trade for more than 2 years, any new purchase they make moves to a 5% lifetime commission rate.
How this applies to an Overwrite: If you overwrite an old client, the commission rate you get (20% or 5%) is based strictly on how long ago that client made their very first purchase with Earn2Trade, not when you overwrote them.

2. Tracking & Client Assignment
Last Touch Wins: The system rewards the last affiliate link or discount code used at checkout. Old browser cookies will no longer block your sales.
10 Years of Data Unlocked: You can overwrite and re-engage any client from our entire 10-year database.
Protection: Earn2Trade’s internal email marketing campaigns will never overwrite your referrals.

3. Earn2Trade Affiliate Payout Policies
To receive all your outstanding approved payouts in full, your account must meet two standard criteria simultaneously:
The $300 Threshold: You must have a minimum balance of $300.
The Activity Referral Rule: You must have referred at least three (3) new clients within the prior rolling three (3) calendar months.
Affiliate met the threshold of $300 but failed the 3 new client Activity Referral Rule
If you have met the money threshold but have not maintained the required three (3) new clients, your payout privileges and account status depend strictly on your recent referral history:
Original Method (Full Payouts): Maintained by referring at least 3 new clients in the last 3 months.
Limited Status (Payouts up to $300/mo): Applied if you referred only 1 or 2 new clients in the last 3 months. You continue earning all commissions normally.
Accumulation Mode (Payouts Frozen): Applied if you brought in 0 new clients in the last 3 months, but referred at least 1 new client within the last 6 months. Your commissions still stack up safely, but you cannot request a payout.
On-Hold Status & No-Commission (Account Frozen): Applied if you fail to bring in any new clients for 6 consecutive months. You completely stop earning commissions and all payouts are locked.
How to Recover Your Status
To change your payment status or fully recover your account privileges, you must hit one of the following activity targets:
Bring in 1 new client: Instantly exits the "On-Hold/No-Commission" freeze and moves your account to Limited Status (earning commissions again with payouts up to $300).
Bring in 3 new clients (within prior 3 months): Instantly fully restores your account to the Original Method, unlocking unlimited full payouts and releasing all accumulated commissions.
📝 Note: You can review your clients' cycles at any time by logging into your affiliate dashboard and selecting the "Lifetime Referrals" option.
Early Payout
If you have successfully referred 3 new clients in the last 3 months but your balance is between a minimum of $100 and $299, you can manually request an Early Payout before the 3rd of the month, which is subject to a successful compliance check and a 25% administrative deduction.

4. Sub-Affiliate (2-Tier) Rules
6-Month Limit: Earn a 2% override on sub-affiliate sales for their first 6 months.
30% Cap: Sub-affiliate earnings cannot exceed 30% of your own direct sales for that month. Excess commissions are permanently forfeited and do not roll over.
Termination: If you break the 30% cap rule for 3 consecutive months, your sub-affiliate tier is permanently deleted.
