WARNING! In compliance with regulation 3 of the Trading Scheme Regulations 1997 (as amended) and section 120(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1973, please read the warning below in respect of the SinTree Referral Program:

• It is illegal for us or for a participant in the SinTree Referral Program (including Referring Users and Referred Performers) to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the SinTree Referral Program.
• Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the SinTree Referral Program.
• Although we do not demand any payment from Referring Users for the purposes of participating in the SinTree Referral Program, we are legally required to inform you that if you sign this contract, you have 14 days in which to cancel and get your money back.

Referral income

• Referral income is processed monthly on the 1st working day of the month.
• Referral income is credited directly to your bank account within 7 business days.
• In the event your monthly Referral Income does not exceed the minimum withdrawal amount of your current payout method, then your referral income rolls over to the next month.
• Introduction: These Referral Program Terms are additional terms which apply if you use the SinTree Referral Program. These Referral Program Terms form part of your agreement with us.
• Interpretation: In these Referral Program Terms defined terms have the same meanings given to them in the Terms of Use for all Users. In addition:
• "Referring User" is also referred to as "you" or "your" in these Referral Program Terms;
• "Referred Entertainer" means the person who joins SinTree as a Creator via the Referring User's unique referral link.
• What is the SinTree Referral Program? SinTree offers a referral program by which existing Users can introduce people who are interested in becoming Entertainers “Fallen Angels” and receive referral payments from SinTree which are calculated and limited as described in these Referral Program Terms.
• The SinTree Referral Program is operated by ST33 Limited. We are a limited company registered in England and Wales, with company registration number 13037809 and we have our registered office address at 4/4a Bloomsbury Square, London, England. WC1A 2RP.
• The rules of the SinTree Referral Program:
• Only Users of SinTree with a current User account can participate in the SinTree Referral Program. If a User's account has been suspended or terminated by us for any reason or deleted by the User, that User will not be eligible to participate in the SinTree Referral Program.
• You will need on your User account page to add a bank account or a payment method details of your bank account or a payment method in order to receive referral payments under the SinTree Referral Program.
• Each User has a unique referral link (which can be accessed via the User's User account) which the User may share with others. When sharing your unique referral link you must not impersonate SinTree or give the impression that your referral link is being shared or promoted by us. You must not use Google Ads or any similar advertising platform or search engine advertising service to share or promote your unique referral link. Upon our request, you must disclose the methods by which you share your unique referral link in the Bio/Website field of your SinTree account.
• The Referred Entertainer must click on your unique referral link and then register with SinTree using the same browser that they used to click on your unique referral link. If someone registers with SinTree other than by using your unique referral link, we will not link that account to your referral and no referral payments will be made to you.
• The Referred Entertainer must not have opened a User account with SinTree (whether under the same name or another name) before clicking on your unique referral link. If the Referred Entertainer is currently or has previously been a User of SinTree no referral payments will be made to you for the referral.
• If the Referred Entertainer sets up more than one User account referral payments will be made to you on the earnings made by the Referred Entertainer from their first User account only. No referral payments will be made to you on any further User accounts set up by the Referred Entertainer.
• No referral payments will be made to you on any referral of a Referred Entertainer which we determine is owned or operated by you, or is in a commercial relationship with you. You will provide any information which we request to enable us to determine whether the Referred Entertainer is owned or operated by you or if there is a commercial relationship between you and the Referred Entertainer.
• You agree that when promoting SinTree in any way as a Referring User:
• you will not give a false impression of SinTree, the services, programs, and content (including Content) made available through SinTree, its Users or the Terms of Service; and
• you will not make any statements which suggest to a potential Entertainer that the potential Entertainer will make a particular sum of money (or any money) from their use of SinTree, or any statements regarding the likely number of Fans.

Referral payments:

• How are referral payments calculated? Once a Referred Entertainer has become a registered User of SinTree in accordance with the rules of the SinTree Referral Program described above, the Referring User will be paid a referral payment equal to five per cent (5%) of Fan Payments generated by the Referred Entertainer in the twelve months after the date on which the Referred Entertainer becomes a registered User of SinTree, up to a maximum referral payment by SinTree to the Referring User of £500,000 per Referred Entertainer.
• This means that if a Referred Entertainer generates Fan Payments with a total value of £500,000 GBP or more in the twelve months after the date on which that Referred Creator becomes a registered User of SinTree, then the Referring User's referral payments in relation to that Referred Entertainer will be capped at £25,000 GBP in total. However, if the Referred Entertainer generates Fan Payments with a total value of less than £500,000 in the twelve months after the date on which that Referred Entertainer becomes a registered User of SinTree, then the Referring User will be paid five per cent (5%) of the Fan Payments generated by that Referred Entertainer in the twelve months after the date on which the Referred Entertainer becomes a registered User of SinTree, following which no further referral payments will be made to the Referring User in respect of that Referred Entertainer.
• VAT: If you are a Referring User you should know that all referral payments payable to you by us will be inclusive of any VAT (as defined in the Terms of Use for Entertainers) which is or becomes chargeable on any supplies made by you.
• Warning: In compliance with regulation 3 of the Trading Scheme Regulations 1997 (as amended) and section 120(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1973, please read the warning below in respect of the SinTree Referral Program:
• It is illegal for us or for a participant in the SinTree Referral Program (including Referring Users and Referred Entertainers) to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the SinTree Referral Program.
• Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the SinTree Referral Program.
• Choosing a payout method to receive referral payments: In order to be able to receive referral payments you must first choose one of the payout methods provided by SinTree in your country of residence. These methods are called "Payout Options".
• How frequently are referral payments made? The referral payment due to you on Fan Payments made to the Referred Entertainer in a calendar month will be transferred to you on or around the first day of the next calendar month (which means, for example, that referral payments due to you in respect of Fan Payments made to the Referred Entertainer in February shall be paid to you on or around 1 March).
• Who bears the cost of the referral payment? The cost of the referral payment is borne by us, not the Referred Entertainer.
• Our rights relating to the referral program.
• If referral payments have been made incorrectly then we have the right to recover the wrongly paid sums from the User to whom the wrongly paid sums have been paid.
• We may request you or Referred Entertainers (or both) to provide us with ID and other information reasonably required by us to verify any referral payment to be made and the person to whom any referral payment should be made. Failure to provide any information requested by us may lead to you losing your entitlement to referral payments in respect of the relevant Referred Entertainer.
• We may change any aspect of the SinTree Referral Program (including how referral payments are calculated) or discontinue the SinTree Referral Program at any time, but no change will deprive any Referring User of referral payments already earned based on Fan Payments made to Referred Entertainers before the changes came into effect.
• Circumstances in which we may withhold referral payments:
• We may withhold all or any part of the referral payments due to you but not yet paid out:
• if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;
• if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
• if we suspect that all or any part of the referral payments due to you result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, either by you, by the Fan who made the Fan Payment to the Referred Entertainer which resulted in the referral payment, or by the Referred Entertainer to whom the Fan Payment was made which resulted in the referral payment, for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened or suspected breach(es) by you or the suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity (as applicable). If following our investigation, we conclude that (i) you have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service; (ii) you have attempted or threatened to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User), and/or (iii) all or any part of referral payments due to you result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, we may notify you that you have forfeited all or any part of your referral payments.
• We may also withhold all or any part of the referral payments due to you but not yet paid out if we receive notice that you have secured, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise allowed a lien to be placed on, referral payments. We undertake no duty to pay referral payments to third-party lienholders and may withhold payment of Entertainer Earnings until the lien has been removed.
• We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any payment due to you under the SinTree Referral Program where we have a right to do so under these Referral Program Terms.
• If we are withholding all or any part of the referral payments due to you and we determine that part of the referral payments withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity, then we may arrange for you to be paid the part of the referral payments which is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of the Terms of Service has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all referral payments due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.
