1. Overview and Scope
The Temple Referral Program (the Program) lets eligible Temple account holders (Referrers) earn Fee Credits by inviting new users (Referred Users) through a unique referral link. These Program Terms supplement the Temple Terms of Use. If they conflict, these Program Terms govern the Program.
The Program applies only to trading fees for digital asset trading on Temple. It does not apply to securities, or to any broker-dealer or alternative trading system services that Temple or an affiliate offers now or in the future. Fees for those services do not count toward rewards, and Fee Credits cannot be applied to them.
2. Eligibility
A Referrer must hold a Temple account that is approved, in good standing, and not restricted.
A Referred User qualifies only if they:
Sign up through a valid referral link before opening their account
Are a New User, meaning no current or prior Temple account is held by that person or entity, its beneficial owners, or any account under common ownership or control
Complete Temple's KYC or KYB onboarding and are approved
Are not located in, or a resident of, a restricted jurisdiction and are not a sanctioned or otherwise prohibited person
Temple decides eligibility in its sole discretion.
3. Referrer Rewards
Referrers earn Fee Credits equal to 10% of Qualifying Fees paid by each Referred User during that user's Earning Period.
Earning Period: 12 months, starting on the date of the Referred User's first trade on Temple. Rewards for that Referred User end when the Earning Period ends.
Qualifying Fees: trading fees the Referred User actually pays on Temple. Qualifying Fees exclude fees paid with Fee Credits, fees that are refunded or reversed, and fees from any activity described in Section 6.
No referral limit: there is no limit on the number of Referred Users a Referrer may invite.
Crediting: rewards are credited to the Referrer's account on a net-30 basis, within 30 days after the end of the month in which the Qualifying Fees were paid.
4. New User Bonus
Each eligible Referred User receives a one-time $100 in Fee Credits once their account is approved. The bonus is limited to one per person or entity, including any accounts under common ownership or control. Fees paid with the bonus are not Qualifying Fees and earn no rewards for the Referrer.
5. Fee Credits
Fee Credits can be used only to pay trading fees on Temple. They:
Have no cash value and are not money, a deposit, or a digital asset
Cannot be withdrawn, transferred, sold, or exchanged for cash or any asset
Earn no interest
Do not expire while the account remains open and in good standing
Fee Credits are forfeited if the account is closed, or if they were obtained in violation of these Program Terms.
6. Prohibited Conduct
Referrers and Referred Users may not:
Refer themselves, or accounts under common ownership or control
Open multiple or duplicate accounts to earn rewards or bonuses
Engage in wash trading, self-trading, or trading that lacks a genuine economic purpose or is meant to generate fees or rewards
Make false or misleading statements about Temple, the Program, or its products
Present themselves as Temple, or as acting on Temple's behalf
Send unsolicited messages (spam) or bid on Temple's name or trademarks in paid search
If Temple determines that any of this conduct occurred, it may withhold, reverse, or claw back Fee Credits, end a participant's eligibility for the Program, and take any action available under the Temple Terms of Use.
7. Changes, Termination, and General Terms
Changes: Temple may change, suspend, or end the Program at any time. Changes apply from the date they are posted. Fee Credits already credited in good standing remain usable under Section 5.
Determinations: Temple's decisions on eligibility, Qualifying Fees, rewards, and prohibited conduct are final.
No agency: Referrers are not employees, agents, or representatives of Temple and may not make commitments on Temple's behalf.
Taxes: participants are responsible for any tax obligations arising from the Program.
Governing terms: the Temple Terms of Use govern everything not addressed in these Program Terms.
