Referral Program Terms

• A new account can have at most one referrer. The relationship is bound either at sign-up through a referral link, or when the friend enters a referral code in the console within 3 days of signing up, and is never re-bound afterwards.
• A code can be added once, within 3 days of signing up. Spend settled before the code was added does not earn rewards; the reward period still runs 6 calendar months from sign-up. You cannot switch referrers and cannot refer yourself. Self-referral is invalid.
• Same market only. Rewards accrue only when both accounts are in the same currency market — USD with USD, CNY with CNY. The market is decided by the server's account of record — not by your interface language, displayed currency, or any field you submit. A cross-market invite is still recorded as a referral relationship, and it earns no reward for now. It never affects normal sign-up.
• Link rotation only affects future visitors; already-bound relationships stay unchanged.
• Only friends who sign up after the program is active in your market are covered.
• The invitee keeps the same prices and any first-purchase promotions everyone else gets. Being invited never changes what they pay.

For the referrer (member tier):

• You earn a 5% promotional credit on your friend's settled principal spend, for 6 calendar months from your friend's successful sign-up. Promotional credit can be spent on usage; it cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for cash, and it has no expiry date of its own.
• First-purchase bonus, once per friend: when your friend's cumulative settled principal spend reaches USD $20 (global market) or CNY ¥50 (China market), you receive USD $5 / CNY ¥10 in promotional credit, one time.
• Referral credit is collected daily; unsettled amounts are shown as "processing", never as a fake zero.

For promoters (10% cash tier):

• Promoters earn a 10% cash commission instead of credit, on the same 6-month window.
• Promoter qualification requires an approved application or a platform invitation, and takes effect when you accept the program terms. The qualification, balances, and payouts are isolated per market.
• Cash matures 168 hours (7 days) after the corresponding spend occurs, and only if that spend is settled, the source funds are valid, and no dispute is pending.
• Payouts run in a monthly batch on the 28th: approved requests are frozen at 00:00 in the market's own timezone — America/Chicago for USD, Asia/Shanghai for CNY — and paid during the working hours of that day. USD goes through Stripe; CNY through Alipay.
• The platform pays its own payout channel fees; they are never deducted from the commission you see.
• Minimum payout: a promoter can request a withdrawal once the matured balance in one currency reaches USD $50 / CNY ¥100. Amounts are paid to the cent (the fraction below a cent stays in your balance).
• The promoter first-purchase bonus is the same USD $5 / CNY ¥10, in cash, with the same 168-hour maturity, once per friend.

• Top-ups themselves — spending is measured when the service is actually used, not when you add funds.
• Promotional credit spend — credit never generates rewards, and it does not count toward the first-purchase threshold.
• Reserved-then-released amounts — held quotas that are released after a failed request are not settled spend.
• Discounts — only the actually charged principal amount counts.
• Taxes and fees — not included.
• Refunded principal — reversed spend no longer counts (see Section 4).

All products on the unified wallet (the API and other paid Inferway services) count under the same rule; a spend whose source cannot be proven is held for review, never guessed or silently dropped.

• Refunds, chargebacks, and disputes reduce or reverse the rewards tied to the affected spend. Only rewards with a proven link to the refunded payment or spend are adjusted.
• Spending that has not been used yet: a refund of unused top-up principal does not affect rewards from spend that already settled normally.
• Unpaid rewards are deducted; promotional credit already given is recalled from its unused portion, and used credit becomes a same-currency offset. Paid cash is offset against future same-currency cash earnings. We never deduct from your own top-up principal, and a credit shortfall is never converted into a cash debt.
• The first-purchase bonus is unique per friend for the whole lifetime. If net qualifying spend falls back below the threshold, the bonus is revoked with a full negative adjustment; if qualifying spend in the original window reaches the threshold again — or the refund/chargeback is formally corrected — the same bonus is restored with the same currency and nature, after any offset owed against it is settled. You never receive a second copy of a bonus.
• A payout with an unknown result is held, never re-paid. Duplicate channel references return the original result.

• Self-referral — inviting an account you own or control.
• Fake or duplicate accounts — creating extra accounts only to manufacture referrals.
• Code swapping or arbitrage — exchanging, buying, or selling referral codes, or routing other people's spend through your code without a real invitation.
• Cross-market circumvention — creating accounts in another market to collect that market's rewards.
• Purchased or incentivised sign-ups — paying for sign-ups or exchanging sign-ups outside the program.
• Abuse of promotions — using the first-purchase or other promotions to game the threshold.

Consequences: violating this section forfeits unpaid rewards and removal from the program. Suspensions freeze only new promoter benefits; disputed rewards are frozen separately with a stated reason, and lawful historical amounts are not wiped automatically.

• These terms are versioned. The version shown on this page is 2026-09-29, last updated September 29, 2026.
• If the program rules change, rewards you have already earned keep their original nature and terms: credit earned before a rule change stays non-withdrawable credit, and cash already earned under the promoter tier keeps its value. An upgrade from member to promoter does not reset a friend's 6-month window, does not re-issue any bonus, and does not convert previously earned credit into cash.
• We will post changes to this page. The program may be paused; pausing new rewards never discards rewards already earned.
