Thank you for registering as a member of the Paxful Affiliate Program. The information that you provided to Paxful as part of the registration process will be stored and handled by Paxful in accordance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). Paxful’s GDPR-compliant Privacy Policy was accepted by you as part of the Affiliate registration process.

By continuing to use the Paxful website (whether as an Affiliate or otherwise), you will be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the Privacy Policy, including as it may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, or otherwise altered. The current version of our Privacy Policy can be accessed from the homepage of this site or by clicking this link: https://paxful.com/privacy. For the avoidance of doubt, please be aware that certain account information may be shared with your Affiliates as part of your participation in the Affiliate Program, including but not limited to location details and account activity.

The following are the Terms and Conditions applicable to the Affiliate Program. Paxful reserves the right (in its sole and absolute discretion and without prior notice) to: (a) change any or all of these Terms and Conditions, at any time and from time to time, including (but not limited to) by changing the commission payout percentages described below, (b) suspend or cancel the Affiliate Program, and/or (c) suspend or permanently deactivate your Affiliate and Paxful account if you engage in certain conduct as described below.

As an Affiliate, you have the opportunity to introduce third parties to the Paxful Bitcoin Marketplace and to earn commissions based on their BTC trades made on our platform. Paxful pays all Affiliate commissions solely in BTC.

The Affiliate Program is structured as a two-tier program applicable to first time third party users only:

• Tier 1 Referral
  A Tier 1 Referral is a third party that registers to use the Paxful Bitcoin Marketplace using the unique registration link that Paxful provided to you when you registered with the Affiliate Program.
• Tier 2 Referral
  A Tier 2 Referral is a third party that registers to use the Paxful Bitcoin Marketplace using the unique registration link that Paxful will have provided to a Tier 1 Referral of yours.

Commissions payable.

Unless otherwise agreed to by Paxful, you will earn a commission from Paxful each time a Tier 1 Referral or Tier 2 Referral of yours completes a BTC “Buy” transaction using Paxful.

As you know, Paxful charges an Escrow Fee in connection with each trade completed on its platform. The Escrow Fee is subject to change by Paxful at any time and from time to time. You can find an explanation of the Escrow Fee and its current amount by clicking this link: https://paxful.com/support/en-us/articles/360013609793-Paxful-fees

• When a Tier 1 Referral successfully completes a BTC “Buy” transaction using Paxful, Paxful will credit your Affiliate Wallet with a sum (in BTC) equal to 50% of the then-effective Escrow Fee.
• When a Tier 2 Referral successfully completes a BTC “Buy” transaction using Paxful, Paxful will credit your Affiliate Wallet with a sum (in BTC) equal to 10% of the then-effective Escrow Fee.
• However, if a Tier 1 Affiliate of yours effectuates a BTC “Buy” transaction with a Tier 1 Affiliate of another member of the Affiliate Program, then each of you and that other member will equally split the 50% commission.
• Similarly, if a Tier 2 Affiliate of yours effectuates a BTC “Buy” transaction with a Tier 2 Affiliate of another member of the Affiliate Program, then each of you and that other member will equally split the 10% commission.
• Anytime you are buying from or selling to one of your Tier 1 Affiliate or Tier 2 Affiliate you will not earn any commission.

Your commission earned in connection with any such transaction will typically be credited to your Affiliate Wallet promptly upon such transaction’s successful completion. Every time such a transaction is completed successfully, Paxful will send you a confirmation email. In this way, you can watch your Affiliate Wallet balance grow within your Paxful dashboard.

In certain circumstances, you may also be eligible to earn a referral fee each time a Tier 1 Referral or Tier 2 Referral of yours completes a BTC “Sell” transaction using Paxful. In order to determine your eligibility to earn fees on your Tier 1 Referral and Tier 2 Referral “Sell” transactions, please contact Paxful Support at [email protected]. Paxful reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether you may be allowed or disallowed to earn any referral fees for “Sell” transactions.

Withdrawing Your Commissions.

Whenever the balance in your Affiliate Wallet reaches at least US$10 (in then-value of BTC), you will be able to transfer the entire balance to your Paxful BTC Wallet. Once the balance of your Affiliate Wallet reaches a total lifetime value of $300, you will be required to submit identity and address verification. Once you have done this, you are free to do whatever you like with your earnings. In providing us with this or any other information that may be required, you confirm that all of the information is true, accurate and not misleading. You agree to promptly keep us updated if any of the information you provide changes. You authorize us to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary to verify your identity or protect you and/or us against fraud or other financial crime, and to take action we deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries. When we carry out these inquiries, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed to credit reference and fraud prevention or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our inquiries in full.

Pro Tip: We suggest selling your BTC earnings on our platform for additional profit.
