Introduction

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of TetherBase, the referral and fee-payback platform operated by TetherBase (the "Company," "we," or "us"), together with all related websites, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service").

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service. If you have questions, contact us at support@tetherbase.io.

By visiting or using the TetherBase website (https://www.tetherbase.io) or app, you confirm that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

1. (a) "User" means any person who enters into a service agreement under these Terms and uses the Service.
2. (b) "Member" means a User who has registered for the Service and created an account.
3. (c) "Guest" means a User who uses the Service without creating an account.
4. (d) "Service Agreement" means the agreement between the Company and a User regarding use of the Service.
5. (e) "Partner Exchange" means a digital-asset exchange on which a User registers or trades with the Company as referrer, allowing the Company to verify the trading fees generated by the User's exchange account.
6. (f) "Payback" means the portion of trading fees (the "Payback Rate") that the Company accrues and pays in USDT to a User who registered on a Partner Exchange with the Company as referrer, or the amount so accrued or paid.
7. (g) "Reward" means the USDT accrued and paid to a Member who referred another Member when that referred Member receives Payback, or the amount so accrued or paid.

2. Service Agreement and Registration

1. (a) A Service Agreement is formed when an applicant indicates acceptance of these Terms and the Company accepts the application. Acceptance is expressed by making the Service available.
2. (b) To become a Member, an applicant must provide an email address and password, agree to these Terms, and complete email verification. Registration is complete when the Company confirms it.
3. (c) The Company may refuse or revoke an application, and may seek compensation for any resulting loss, if the applicant: (1) is not a natural person, legal entity, or organization with full legal capacity; (2) is under 18 years of age; (3) accesses the Service from a jurisdiction where it is not offered, or through abnormal or circumventing means; (4) applies for a purpose prohibited by law or otherwise improper; (5) is suspected of re-applying after the Company terminated a prior agreement; (6) is suspected of using another person's email address or information; (7) provides an email address that does not exist or fails verification; or (8) presents comparable grounds that make acceptance inappropriate.
4. (d) The Company may defer acceptance until the cause is resolved where: (1) capacity, device support, or technical constraints make it impractical; (2) a Service outage is in progress; or (3) comparable grounds make acceptance difficult.

3. Effect and Amendment of the Agreement

1. (a) The Service Agreement takes effect when the Company posts these Terms on the Service or delivers them by email and the User indicates agreement. Registration as a Member is a procedure for certain features and does not affect the validity of the Service Agreement.
2. (b) The Company may amend these Terms to the extent permitted by law. Amendments, including the effective date and reasons, will be posted or delivered at least 7 days before they take effect, or at least 30 days before for changes that are unfavorable to Users or that materially affect their rights or obligations.
3. (c) If the Company's notice states that silence will be treated as acceptance and the User does not expressly object before the effective date, the User is deemed to have accepted the amendment. A User who does not agree may terminate the Service Agreement or stop using the Service within that period.

4. Privacy Policy and Operating Policies

1. (a) The handling of personal information collected through the Service is governed by applicable law and the Company's Privacy Policy.
2. (b) The Company may publish separate operating policies. Where an operating policy conflicts with these Terms, the operating policy controls.

5. Account Information and Security

1. (a) If the Company reasonably believes information provided by a User is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, it may request a correction and may suspend part or all of the Service. The Company bears no liability for this, and the User bears any resulting consequences.
2. (b) Users must keep their email address and other contact details accurate and current. Users are solely responsible for losses or costs arising from the Company's inability to reach them.
3. (c) Users are solely responsible for keeping their credentials confidential and for all activity under their account, and agree to: (1) notify the Company immediately of any unauthorized use or password compromise; (2) strictly follow the Service's security, authentication, transaction, and withdrawal procedures; (3) log out properly at the end of each session; and (4) understand that the Company needs a reasonable time to act on requests and is not liable for consequences arising before it acts.

6. The Service

1. (a) When a User registers on a Partner Exchange using the Company's referral code or link, the Company accrues Payback for the User from a portion of the revenue it earns on the User's futures trading fees (USDT pairs only), calculated at the published Payback Rate, and pays accrued Payback above the minimum threshold to the User's Partner Exchange account on request.
2. (b) The Company may adjust the Payback Rate for Payback not yet accrued, and may decline to accrue or pay Payback where, for reasons beyond its control such as a Partner Exchange's insolvency, it did not receive revenue from the exchange.
3. (c) When a User designates another Member as referrer at signup, the Company pays that referrer a Reward based on the referred User's accrued Payback.
4. (d) If a referred Member loses membership through withdrawal or termination, Reward records attributable to that Member's Payback are deleted from the referrer's account.
5. (e) Payback and Rewards are available only for trades executed within the past 5 years and may vary within that window under Company policy.
6. (f) Payback or Rewards accrued without the conditions being met may be voided without notice, and amounts already withdrawn may be deducted from future accruals.
7. (g) The Company does not introduce or broker any exchange, does not receive access to Users' exchange accounts, and does not hold Users' digital assets.
8. (h) Members may link multiple exchange UIDs, but only UIDs they own.
9. (i) Members may withdraw once the combined remaining Payback and event Rewards across their UIDs is at least 50 USDT.

15. Damages

1. (a) A party that breaches these Terms and causes loss to the other party is liable for that loss.

(a) These Terms and the Service Agreement are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and every claim or action arising out of or relating to the Service is governed, interpreted, and enforced under those laws. For the avoidance of doubt, this applies to tort claims against the Company as well.
