A customer will be eligible to participate as a Referee in respect of a GIFT City Traded Product only if the customer is permitted to access and transact in that product under applicable laws and satisfies Belong's eligibility requirements. Eligibility will be determined separately for each GIFT City Traded Product at the time it is made available, and eligibility for one product will not, by itself, confer eligibility for any other product.

2. THE PROGRAM
2.1 The Program consists of two parts, operating under a single referral code or link issued to each Referrer:
(a) FnO Referral, under which a Referrer earns an ongoing Brokerage Share on a Referee's trading activity in GIFT City Traded Products specifically; and
(b) Other Products Referral, under which a Referrer and Referee each earn a Belong Bonus on qualifying investment activity across Belong's products generally.
2.2 A single act of attribution under Clause 5 governs eligibility for both parts of the Program; you are not required to be separately attributed under each.
2.3 The Program is entirely optional. You are under no obligation to participate, and choosing not to participate does not affect your access to any other Belong product or service.
3. REFERRER ELIGIBILITY
3.1 Any Belong customer who has signed up on the platform, whether RI, NRI, or OCI, is eligible to act as a Referrer under both Other Products and FnO, subject to this Clause 3.
3.2 Each Referrer is entitled to one referral code. Your referral code is personal to you and may not be sold, sublicensed, or assigned.
3.3 You may not be your own Referee. This is a specific application of the broader restriction in Clause 9.1 on referring any account you own, control, or beneficially hold.
3.4 The Program is open to individual retail accounts only. HUF, corporate, partnership/LLP, and trust accounts may not act as a Referrer or a Referee.
3.5 Employees, contractors, and vendors of Belong, and their immediate family members and persons residing in their household, are not eligible to earn any Referral Reward.
4. REFEREE ELIGIBILITY
4.1 FnO referral program
4.2 Other Products referral
Any new Belong customer, with any country of residence except India, whose Qualifying deposit is attributed to a Referrer.
5. ATTRIBUTION
5.1 A Referee is attributed to a Referrer only during sign-up, where the Referee initiates their Belong account creation via the Referrer's referral link and the code is applied automatically. Attribution is a one-time event, permanent and cannot be created, added, or changed after account creation.
5.2 If you referred a customer under Other Products referral, or before FnO referral existed, that referral relationship automatically extends to FnO without requiring fresh attribution, provided the Referee otherwise satisfies Clause 4.2. For example, if you referred someone for a mutual fund investment before FnO existed, and they later start trading GIFT City Traded Products, your existing referral relationship will govern the Brokerage Share without you needing to do anything further.
6. REFERRAL REWARDS
6.1 FnO Referral
6.1.1 A Referrer earns 20% of the Applicable Brokerage generated by a Referee's trading in GIFT City Traded Products, for the lifetime of the Referee's account under FnO.
6.1.2 The Brokerage Share is payable to the Referrer only; the Referee does not separately earn a reward under FnO (without prejudice to any Belong Bonus the Referee may separately earn under Other Products).
6.1.3 There is no cap on the Brokerage Share a Referrer may earn, and no minimum trading volume required for a Referrer to remain eligible.
6.1.4 The Brokerage Share is computed monthly against the Referee's settled Applicable Brokerage for that month.
6.2 Other Products Referral
6.2.1 A Referrer and Referee each earn USD 50 when the Referee's Qualifying Investment is completed.
6.2.2 Valid only for Referees who sign up using a Referrer's referral link on or after January 26, 2026.
6.2.3 There is no maximum limit on the Belong Bonus a Referrer may earn.
6.2.4 Amounts credited under this Clause are locked for withdrawal for a period of 12 months from the date of credit, but may be used to make investments during that period.
6.2.5 If a Referee's Belong account records zero investment activity after the Qualifying Deposit for a period exceeding 90 days, Belong may claw back the Belong Bonus credited in respect of that Referee.
7. PAYOUT
7.1 If you are an RI Referrer, your Brokerage Share will be paid to your whitelisted Indian bank account, in INR converted from USD on the payment date. Transfer charges and forex fees will apply. The Brokerage Share is subject to a minimum threshold of USD 100 equivalent, which is carried forward until met, and applicable taxes will be deducted at source before payout.
7.2 In every other case - including an NRI or OCI Referrer's Brokerage Share, and any Belong Bonus payable to a Referee - the reward is credited to the recipient's Belong wallet, in USD. The Belong Bonus is credited within 7 days of the Referee making the Qualifying Investment and after the recipient's KYC is complete. There is no minimum payout threshold for the Brokerage Share. Taxes, if any, will be deducted before payout.
7.3 Payout of Brokerage Share for a particular month will be done in the first week of the following month.
7.4 Belong may withhold, delay, or deny any payout pending verification, in cases of suspected fraud, or where required by law.

14. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
14.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of India.
14.2 Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms will first be referred to Belong's grievance redressal process. If not resolved within 30 days, the dispute will be referred to arbitration before a sole arbitrator appointed by Belong, conducted under the (Indian) Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, seated in Bengaluru, India, in English. Subject to this, the courts at Bengaluru, India have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter arising under these Terms.
