By using our website, and further participating as the Referrer in the Program, you accept and confirm your obligation to abide by these Program Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms”).
2. Definitions
“Products and Services” stand for the Switchere.com website https://switchere.com/ and related services.
“Affiliate Program” — a revenue-sharing program, specifically designed and developed by Switchere.com, that allows you as the Referrer to use marketing methods for promoting our services and drive customer traffic to our website. The Program allows Referrers to earn up to 30% commission from our service fee for every exchange operation completed by your primary Referrals. For the Partners, the percentage of Referral Rewards is discussed and allocated on an individual basis.
“Referrer” — a registered Switchere.com platform user who refers and promotes our website services with an aim of attracting other persons (“Referrals”) and earning commission for this activity.
“Business Partner Member” — an individual or a commercial entity with whom Switchere.com has some form of alliance or business collaborative partnership. The Partner is authorized by us, directly or indirectly, to promote and advertise the Switchere.com services and receive the Referral Rewards on a case-by-case basis.
“Referral” — a qualifying person who has been referred by the Referrer via a unique Referral Link or a Banner.
“Cookie” — a value stored on the Referral’s computer. We use cookies to track the Referrals attracted by you, determine the percentage of the Referral Reward, calculate and distribute the earned commission.
“Cookie Life Period” — a default parameter for cookies, unless otherwise specified herein, set to 90 (ninety) calendar days. If a new Referral comes to our website via your Referral Link and makes an online exchange operation on the website within 90 days, the Referrer will receive the Referral Commission from our service fee for the exchange operation made by the Referral. When a person registers an account on our website through your Referral Link during the specified Cookie Life Period, he/she becomes your permanent Referral (in perpetuity) and any and all exchange operations made by the Referral after the expiry of the Cookie Life Period will be associated with you as the Referrer and you are eligible to receive all Referral Rewards by default. If your attracted Referral(s) made no exchange operations on our website within the first 90 days after using your Referral Link but made an exchange operation on our website after the expiration of this default Cookie Life Period, you will not be eligible to receive any Referral Commission neither the person(s), who had been earlier attracted by you, will be counted as your Referral(s). Take notice that we use the “Last Cookie Wins” rule which implies that if a person clicked on the Referral Link of Referrer A, but did not make any exchange operation on our website, and then clicked on the Referral Link of Referrer B and registered an account on Switchere.com, the individual will automatically be considered by the system as a Referral of the last Referrer, in this instance, Referrer B.
“Referral Commission” (or “Referral Reward”) — the amount of reward in SWR (Switchere’s reward point expressed in the equivalent 1 SWR = 1 EUR at all times) that the Referrer is eligible to receive for his/her referral activity. All Referral Rewards are credited to the Referrer’s Reward Balance in fiat currencies or cryptocurrencies supported on the website at the current exchange rate, which are instantly converted into SWR and displayed in your Affiliate Dashboard, after the exchange operation is completed by the Referral.
“Referral Link” — your unique static hyperlink available in the Affiliate Dashboard for further integration and promotion on other resources.

- In order to receive your Referral Reward for promoting our services, your attracted Referrals must: 1) be of qualifying age; 2) not have already applied another Referrer’s Referral Link; 3) complete an exchange operation on our website.
- By default, if there is an ongoing promo campaign 0% Service Fee on the Switchere.com website, the Referrer is not entitled to receive the Referral Reward for the first exchange operation (buy, sell or swap) made by the newly attracted Referral during that period of time.
