1.6 Referral Determination

Only one Referral Partner may obtain a Referral Fee for each Customer. Website cookies shall be used to identify Customers referred to OFX from the Referral Partner Website. Website cookies are valid for 30 days from the last visit via a Referral Partner Website. The Referral Fee will be paid based on the most recent cookie prior to the Qualifying Transaction.

1.7 Marketing Approval

Subject to clause 5 below, OFX may at its discretion provide you with Materials or further information for inclusion on the Referral Partner Website. You shall not display on the Referral Partner Website any advertising material or information of any kind referring to OFX or the Services without the prior written approval of OFX, which approval may be granted entirely at OFX’s discretion.

3. PAYMENTS TO PARTNER

3.1 Referral Fee Payment

OFX shall (if applicable) pay to you a Referral Fee in relation to each Customer calculated in accordance with these Terms when the Base Threshold is reached. Referral Fees are payable within 10 Business Days from the last day of the following month once the Base Threshold is accrued in any given month. If the Referral Fees in any calendar month are less than the Base Threshold, the amount will be rolled over month-to- month until the Base Threshold is achieved. The Referral Fee will be paid into the bank account referred to in the Schedule or as otherwise notified by you to OFX in writing. If these Terms are terminated for any reason, OFX will pay to you any Referral Fees (if applicable) owed at termination no later than 10 Business Days after the last day of the month following the effective date of termination. If you fail to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms, we may withhold or void any Referral Fees otherwise earned under these Terms.

The amount of a Referral Fee will be calculated at a certain percentage of Gross Revenue generated from each Qualifying Transaction as such percentage is noted on the cover page of the Terms.
