5.3 Qualifying Referred Client (eligibility and exclusions)
A Qualifying Referred Client generally means a Client who:
is referred during the Contract Period;
is correctly attributed to you via the Tracker ID/Tracking URL/Code (or otherwise linked by BKquote in writing);

a person located in a country/region prohibited by BKquote’s onboarding and sanctions policies;
a Client whose application is rejected or whose account is suspended/closed;

It does not involve self-dealing or trading by the Partner, immediate family, or controlled entities.
5.6 When Fees are not payable / can be withheld
Fees are not payable and may be withheld, delayed or denied where, for example:
you are not a Qualifying Partner (inactive, suspended, terminated, or not approved);
attribution is missing/incorrect (incorrect Tracker ID, cookie loss, non-compliant tracking);
a Client requests to be unlinked or BKquote is instructed not to pay a partner in relation to that Client;
BKquote reasonably suspects non-compliance, fraud, abuse, manipulation, or breach of this Agreement/Applicable Law;
you fail to provide requested verification documents;
there are third-party complaints (including IP claims) relating to your marketing/activities.
Where BKquote determines Fees were generated through prohibited conduct or breach, you agree BKquote may treat such Fees as non-payable and/or recoverable.

If BKquote permits Sub-Affiliates, any revenue share or percentage split is as displayed in the Partner Portal and attributed by Sub-Affiliate Tracker ID. You remain responsible for compliance by your Sub-Affiliates.
5.8 Changes to Fees / qualifying rules
BKquote may change Fees, thresholds, and qualifying rules to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Where BKquote provides notice of a change and requests confirmation, failure to respond within 1 Business Day may be treated as acceptance for continued participation in the program.
6 PAYMENT
6.1 Payment method and accounts
Payments are made to the nominated account(s) you provide in the Partner Portal, in a currency and method supported by BKquote, subject to Applicable Law. BKquote may deduct reasonable processing fees/charges from amounts payable.

Daily Fees (where applicable, e.g., IB/Hybrid): payable upon request and typically processed within 3 Business Days after a valid request.
Monthly Fees (Affiliate/Hybrid): typically processed within 15 days after the end of the calendar month, provided the minimum payout threshold is met.
6.3 Minimum payout threshold (Affiliate)
For Monthly Fees, a minimum payout threshold of USD 1,000 applies. If the threshold is not met for a given month, the amount is carried forward until the threshold is met in a subsequent month or until termination, at which point BKquote will process amounts due subject to verification and Applicable Law.
6.4 Suspicious activity review / payment delays
BKquote may delay payment for verification where BKquote reasonably detects suspicious activity, including patterns suggesting controlled accounts, fraud, manipulation, or program misuse. Such delay may extend up to 180 days where reasonably required for review and compliance.
If, during your first monthly cycle, you refer more than 20 Qualifying Traders, BKquote may defer payment for one additional month for verification.

You are responsible for your own taxes. BKquote may withhold amounts where required by Applicable Law or by a competent authority.
