Schedule B

Revenue Sharing and Broker Code

This Schedule B forms part of these Terms and applies to every Revenue Sharing Arrangement. Capitalised terms used in this Schedule have the meanings given in Section 2 of these Terms.

B.1 Application for and Assignment of a Broker Code

Service Provider may apply for a Broker Code through the Dashboard or such other process as OKX designates. Before granting the Service Provider a Broker Code, OKX may require onboarding, due diligence, technical testing, account mapping or additional documentation before doing so. A Broker Code may be used in relation to the approved Service Provider, and may be suspended, replaced or revoked by OKX at any time. The assignment of a Broker Code does not by itself create a Revenue Sharing Arrangement or any entitlement to a Revenue Share Amount.

B.2 Approval and Partner Return Rate

If OKX approves Service Provider for a Revenue Sharing Arrangement, OKX will designate the Partner Return Rate, and any other conditions related thereto (such as conditions related to Eligible Transactions or applicable caps) through the Dashboard or by written notice. The Partner Return Rate applicable to an Eligible Transaction is the rate in force, and displayed on the Dashboard or notified to Service Provider in writing, at the time that transaction is executed.

The Partner Return Rate may differ in respect of different Service Providers or transactions, according to various factors such as the periodic trading volume using the Broker Code, the types of products and transactions processed, the number of Clients, whether the relevant Client has an Affiliate Program relationship, or based on internal reviews of the Service Provider’s transaction data. OKX may adjust the Partner Return Rate and the applicable revenue share mechanism or other conditions related thereto at its sole discretion from time to time by prior written notice or by notice through the Dashboard. If Service Provider does not agree to an adjustment, its sole remedy is to terminate these Terms before the adjustment takes effect, and continued participation after the effective date of the adjustment constitutes acceptance of it.

B.3 Eligible Transactions and Calculation

A transaction is an “Eligible Transaction” only if:

(a) it is executed by a Client on the Platform while a Revenue Sharing Arrangement is in force;

(b) the order is routed through the approved System using an API or OAuth method approved by OKX;

(c) where OKX has assigned a Broker Code for the applicable integration model, the order carries the correct and active Broker Code in the field or format specified by OKX;

(d) OKX actually receives and retains the associated trading fees; and

(e) the transaction is not excluded under Section B.4.

For each Eligible Transaction, the Revenue Share Amount is the applicable Net Trading Fees multiplied by the applicable Partner Return Rate. OKX’s records and calculations are controlling in the absence of manifest error.

B.4 Excluded Transactions and Amounts

No Revenue Share Amount is earned or payable in respect of:

(a) a transaction whose counterparty is not a user of the Platform;

(b) a transaction by a Client at VIP level 7 or above, or at any other fee tier excluded by OKX;

(c) a transaction in which the Client pays lower transaction fees in connection with their use of a rebate card, fee voucher, trading fee discount, special fee rate, market maker fee mechanism, taker program, liquidity provider program or similar mechanism;

(d) a transaction for which a referrer, affiliate, helper, sub-broker or other channel has priority or is entitled to the same revenue, in which case priority is determined by OKX under Section B.5;

(e) a transaction executed through any method other than the approved API or OAuth integration, or without the correct and active Broker Code where one is required;

(f) a transaction conducted through a managed trading sub-account;

(g) a transaction that is cancelled, reversed, refunded, charged back, voided or erroneous, or that involves wash trading, self-dealing, manipulation, fraud, abuse or unlawful activity;

(h) fees not actually received or retained by OKX, and amounts attributable to taxes, credits, rebates, refunds, reversals, chargebacks, discounts, affiliate or referral payments or other deductions;

(i) activity occurring while (A) Service Provider, a Client, a Broker Code, the System, the Exchange Account or the Revenue Sharing Arrangement is subject to a compliance hold, or is suspended, restricted, revoked or otherwise ineligible; or (B) Service Provider or a Client is suspended or restricted from, or determined ineligible for, accessing one or more services of OKX or its Affiliates (including services other than FD Broker), whether for compliance, sanctions, anti-money laundering, fraud, risk or transaction-monitoring reasons or otherwise, in each case unless OKX determines otherwise;

(j) any transactions or Revenue Share Amounts that are in excess of any caps expressed by OKX from time to time; and

(j) any period in which Service Provider fails to meet the applicable minimum standards of, or fails, a periodic review under Section B.6.

Any cap on Revenue Share Amounts or Eligible Transactions, including any cap applicable to a particular VIP tier, applies as specified by OKX in the Dashboard or by written notice from time to time and resets at the end of each calendar month unless the applicable notice states otherwise.

B.5 Affiliate Program and Referral Relationships

Where a Client has been introduced under the Affiliate Program or has a referral, helper or sub-broker relationship, OKX may apply a different Partner Return Rate, determine which channel has priority, allocate revenue between eligible channels, or exclude the transaction from Service Provider’s calculation, in each case as determined and communicated by OKX.

B.6 Periodic Review and Continuing Eligibility

OKX may periodically review Service Provider, its Clients, transaction data, technical performance, compliance, Exchange Account status and satisfaction of the applicable minimum standards, and may increase or decrease the Partner Return Rate following such a review. Service Provider is not eligible to earn or receive a Revenue Share Amount in respect of any period in which it fails to meet the applicable minimum standards or fails a periodic review. OKX may suspend calculation or payment while a review, audit, investigation or remediation is pending, and may release, adjust or forfeit the affected amounts on completion.

B.7 Revocation, Forfeiture and Clawback

OKX may cancel or revoke the revenue sharing eligibility of Service Provider, of any Client, of one or more Broker Codes, or of one or more transactions, where Service Provider or a Client breaches these Terms, fails an eligibility requirement, or engages in dishonest, abusive, manipulative, fraudulent, unlawful or harmful conduct, including registering multiple accounts, money laundering, wash trading, false attribution, unauthorized use of a Broker Code or circumvention of a fee or eligibility rule. Revocation may result in the forfeiture of unpaid Revenue Share Amounts in respect of some or all Clients or transactions and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the clawback or set-off of amounts previously paid. OKX may also suspend or terminate these Terms under Section 13.3.

B.8 Payment

  1. Unless OKX specifies otherwise, Revenue Share Amounts are credited to the funding account of Service Provider’s Exchange Account in USDT (or USDC for Service Providers based in the European Economic Area) or such other settlement asset as OKX designates. A Revenue Share Amount calculated in respect of a given hour is paid at T+1 hour and converted at the closing price available on the Platform for the preceding hour. Refunds and cancellations arising in a given hour are applied in the following period and do not affect amounts already credited for the prior hour. Payment requires an active, verified and unrestricted Exchange Account capable of receiving the settlement asset. As soon as practicable after the end of each month, OKX shall provide to the Service Provider a report in the form as may be determined by OKX from time to time with details on the amount of trading fees actually paid by the Clients to OKX for transactions executed by the Clients through the Service Provider during the previous month.

  2. Service Provider shall notify OKX in writing of a calculation dispute within sixty (60) days after the relevant report or payment becomes available, identifying the disputed transactions and supporting evidence. If it does not do so, the calculation is deemed accepted, except for manifest error or where applicable law requires otherwise

B.9 Withholding, Set-Off and Taxes

OKX may withhold or delay payment while it verifies eligibility, conducts an audit, review or investigation, complies with applicable law, resolves an incident or error, awaits required confirmation information, or addresses a breach or a set-off. Payment is subject to Section 12 and to any withholding required by applicable law. Each party is responsible for determining and satisfying its own tax obligations in connection with any Revenue Share Amount.
