Terms and conditions

Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”)

The Kinesis Partner Programme (the “Programme”) is an affiliate rewards programme run by Kinesis Cayman, an entity incorporated in the Cayman Islands with registered address at c/o Stuarts Corporate Services Ltd., Kensington House, 69 Dr. Roy’s Drive, P.O. Box 2510, Grand Cayman KY1-1104, Cayman Islands (“Kinesis”). The Kinesis Monetary System (“KMS”) is also run by Kinesis and consists of several underlying products and services offered by Kinesis, referred to collectively as the “Services.” To participate in and be eligible to receive value by way of affiliate rewards (“Partner Yield”), affiliates (“Partners”) must agree to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). By proceeding, you hereby agree to the Terms which may be updated by Kinesis, from time to time.

The Programme rewards Partners for referring new members (“Referrals”) to the KMS in proportion the Referrals use of the underlying Services that they duly take from Kinesis. Specifically, Partners earn Partner Yield on any transaction carried out within the KMS by a Referral where Kinesis charges the Referral a fee (“Transaction”).

The Programme is a link-based or code-based referral programme only, not a broker or an indirect dealer programme. Partners cannot and must not act as brokers, or input any customer data into the KMS on behalf of a Referral or potential Referral. Potential Partners must apply to join the Programme via the Kinesis Website or mobile application. Once reviewed by one of our team (“Partner Compliance Managers”) and approved you will then be able to log into the KMS and will be granted access to unique links (Partner Links) or codes (Partner Codes) and the associated marketing material(s) through which you can send potential Referrals to our website.

You are responsible for ensuring that your participation and that of any Referrals in the Programme is legal and appropriate in both your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of the Referral and you agree to indemnify Kinesis against any costs, claims, actions fines or other damages against a failure to comply with this requirement.

All websites that will link to Kinesis must be submitted to Kinesis for review prior to having links added.

Code of Conduct

Here at Kinesis we demand excellence and we strive to be the best at what we do. As a Kinesis Partner you reflect the Kinesis brand, hand-picked as someone we feel has the ability to match the level of professionalism and integrity that we are striving to achieve. The below “Code of Conduct” is meant to supplement our “Kinesis Partner Terms and Conditions” by setting expectations and creating the framework under which a Kinesis Partnership can thrive.

• Bring high energy and excitement every time. The Kinesis Monetary System (KMS) is one of a kind, offering products and services not found anywhere else. It’s exciting! Present it that way!

• Understand the KMS. If there is ANY aspect of the Kinesis Monetary System you do not understand, please ask. Knowledge is the key to excellence.

• No need to answer extremely technical questions. Your job as a Kinesis Partner is simple; present the KMS system and its associated products and services and refer any super technical questions to our dedicated support team who will happily assist.

• Use our imagery. There is no need to spend your time creating graphics or imagery. We will provide you with a whole host of logos, colours and images that you can use to promote Kinesis. Need custom imagery? Just ask!

• Kinesis will make it right. No matter the situation, Kinesis will strive to make it right. Please bring any problems to our attention, chances are there is a simple miscommunication. Furthermore, please encourage any Referral or potential Referral to bring any problem to our attention so that we have the opportunity to make it right.

• Please don’t use profanity while directly representing the Kinesis brand. You want to gain Referrals, profanity isn’t an effective tool.

• Be yourself. Your audience knows you, they trust you and you’ve chosen to Partner with Kinesis. Use that to your advantage.

Please refer to Sections 1 and 2 of the Kinesis Partner Terms and Conditions for specific conduct required of our Kinesis Partners.

I hereby understand that the Kinesis Partner Code of Conduct is designed to create brand consistency and as a Kinesis Partner I also understand that I am a reflection of the Kinesis brand.
