For the duration of this Agreement, the Affiliate agrees to fulfill the following obligations:

3.1. Affiliates cannot alter marketing materials provided by LHFX.

3.2. Affiliates may not use false information to attract additional customers.

3.3. Affiliates may not create social media accounts that include the LHFX trademark in their site name and username.

3.4. When promoting LHFX and its services, Affiliates are obliged to act on their own behalf and never on behalf of the Company.

3.5. Affiliates may not run paid search engine advertisements, such as Google Ads, that make use of the Company's marketing materials and branding.

4. Suspension of Agreement

4.1. This Agreement comes into effect once the Affiliate has read and accepted the documentation and may be terminated, effective immediately, by either party at any time.

4.2. LHFX reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or suspend an Affiliate account without prior notice in the following circumstances:

  • Malpractice
  • Breach of terms
  • Failure to provide genuine contact details
  • Failure to respond to requests from LHFX account managers

4.3. In the event of a suspension period, the Affiliate will retain any referrals within their account but will not earn outstanding commissions generated during this time.

5. Commission Payment Conditions

5.1. Commissions are paid on a monthly basis, as each month closes. Commissions, of a minimum of $10, can also be paid upon request. Should the payment day fall on a public holiday or non-working day, it will be processed the day before or after.

5.2. The LHFX Affiliate program operates on a Lifetime Commission basis, whereby affiliates will continue to receive commissions for the duration the affiliate's clients trade on LHFX.

5.3. The standard affiliate commission rate is $4.00 per lot traded, with additional earning opportunities through a 5-tier commission structure:

  • Tier 1: $4
  • Tier 2: $0.50
  • Tier 3: $0.30
  • Tier 4: $0.15
  • Tier 5: $0.05

5.4. Trades executed on Islamic (swap-free) accounts are included in affiliate commission calculations at the same rate as Standard accounts. Islamic accounts are subject to a daily administration fee on positions held longer than five (5) calendar days, as detailed in Section 5.7 below.

5.5. Should the Company have reason to believe the Affiliate is in breach of this Agreement, commissions will not be paid out.

5.6. The Company reserves the right to periodically review the activity status of referred clients. Where a referred client has not executed any trading activity for a continuous period of ninety (90) calendar days or more, the Company may, at its sole discretion, reassign or remove the affiliate attribution associated with that client's account. In such circumstances, any subsequent trading activity by the client shall not generate commissions for the referring Affiliate. This provision is intended to ensure that commission entitlements reflect active and ongoing client engagement, and does not affect any commissions already earned and paid prior to reassignment.

5.7. Islamic Account Holding Fee. Islamic (swap-free) accounts benefit from a grace period of five (5) calendar days during which no additional charges apply to open positions. From the sixth (6th) calendar day onward, a daily administration fee of 0.005% of the position's notional value shall be charged for each day the position remains open. The notional value is calculated as: lots traded × contract size × current market price. This fee is deducted directly from the trading account balance and is applied automatically on a daily basis. The Company reserves the right to adjust the fee rate at any time, with updated rates published on the Company website.

6. Data Protection

6.1. Affiliates expressly acknowledge, accept, and agree not to attempt to access the personal information of LHFX clients.

6.2. Affiliates expressly acknowledge, agree, and promise to comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations at all times.

6.3. Personal data of potential clients is property of LHFX and may not be used or profited upon outside of and following the end of this Agreement.

6.4. Reports or statistics containing sensitive customer data should not be shared with other parties.

7. Branding & Copyright Agreement

7.1. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that LHFX's intellectual property will be used legally and strictly in accordance with the Company's branding guidelines. Intellectual Property refers to, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Logos
  • Banners & GIFs
  • Taglines, content & literature
  • Domain names
  • Websites
  • Business strategies
  • Tables, charts & statistics

7.2. The Affiliate agrees to display any LHFX intellectual property and marketing materials on its website solely for the purpose of marketing and promoting its services without manipulating or altering said intellectual property. Unauthorised use or modifications of intellectual property constitute a breach of contract, in which case the Company reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately.

8. Confidentiality Clause

8.1. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that all information related to the Company's business, whether expressly stated or not, is strictly confidential. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the contents of this Agreement, customer details, financial information, business plans and information, technical processes and formulas, and all other intellectual property.

8.2. Both the Company and Affiliate agree to use the other party's Confidential Information only as necessary to fulfill the obligations set forth herein. Each party undertakes to take all reasonable steps to prevent the disclosure or use of Confidential Information.

9. Prohibited Practices & Affiliate Integrity

9.1. Self-Referral Prohibition. The Affiliate is expressly prohibited from referring itself, its own trading accounts, or any account over which it exercises direct or indirect control. An Affiliate may not register as both the referring party and the referred client, whether through the use of the same account credentials, alternative email addresses, or any other means. Any commission derived from such self-referral activity shall be deemed invalid.

9.2. Multiple Account Prohibition. The Affiliate shall not create, maintain, or operate multiple accounts on the LHFX platform for the purpose of generating referral commissions, circumventing programme rules, or inflating referral statistics. Each natural person or legal entity is entitled to one Affiliate account only. The creation of additional accounts under alternative identities, assumed names, or corporate vehicles controlled by the same beneficial owner constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

9.3. Related Party & Household Referrals. The Company reserves the right to review referral relationships where the Affiliate and the referred client share common identifying attributes, including but not limited to the same Internet Protocol (IP) address, device fingerprint, residential address, surname, or financial instruments. Where such commonalities indicate that the referred client is a related party, household member, or otherwise connected individual acting for the purpose of generating affiliate commissions rather than genuine independent trading activity, the Company may, at its sole discretion, disqualify the referral and withhold or void any associated commissions.

9.4. Artificial & Manipulative Activity. The Affiliate shall not engage in, facilitate, or encourage any form of artificial, fraudulent, or manipulative activity designed to inflate commission entitlements. This includes, without limitation, wash trading, circular referrals between affiliated persons, the use of automated bots or scripts to generate fictitious referrals, and any scheme intended to exploit the commission structure without delivering genuine client acquisition.

9.5. Investigation & Audit Rights. The Company reserves the right to investigate, audit, and monitor all affiliate activity at any time without prior notice. Investigations may include, but are not limited to, analysis of IP addresses, login patterns, device identifiers, trading behaviour, account funding sources, and any other data reasonably available to the Company. The Affiliate agrees to cooperate fully with any such investigation and to provide additional information upon request.

9.6. Commission Recovery & Forfeiture. Where the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that an Affiliate has engaged in any prohibited practice described in this Section, the Company reserves the right to: (a) immediately suspend or terminate the Affiliate's account; (b) void all pending and unpaid commissions; (c) recover any commissions previously paid that are attributable to prohibited activity, including by way of set-off against any outstanding balances or future entitlements; and (d) pursue any additional remedies available at law or in equity. The Affiliate acknowledges that this clause does not limit the Company's rights under any other provision of this Agreement or applicable law.

10. Warranty Disclaimer

10.1. LHFX makes no warranties hereunder and expressly disclaims all warranties, including: warranties of merchantability for a particular purpose; and warranties that the Company's services, platforms, and products do not violate or infringe the intellectual property of third parties under any jurisdiction.

10.2. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that LHFX's services and products may not satisfy or be suitable for all clients and their respective requirements.

11. Limited Liability Agreement

11.1. The directors, officers, employees, and related entities of LHFX are not liable for any losses or damages caused through direct or indirect use of its platforms, websites, and services.

11.2. LHFX is not responsible for any means of electronic or online communications, which may affect the client's equipment or their use of LHFX's services. As such, LHFX is not liable to cover any claims, losses, damages, costs, or fees, including attorney's fees, related to such failures.

11.3. Software and systems managed by LHFX, whether in its own capacity or on behalf of third parties, is not guaranteed to operate uninterrupted or error free at all times.

12. Terms of Repayment

The Affiliate agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, and employees with respect to any claim, demand, cause of action, debt or liability, brought by a third party, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent that such action is based upon or arises out of:

  • breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or obligation under this Agreement
  • gross negligence or willful misconduct
  • any warranty, condition, representation, indemnity or guarantee relating to the Company and its platforms granted by the Affiliate to a third party.
