Upon satisfaction of all the requirements set out in clause 4 (a) to (d) subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, your Friend shall qualify as an “Active Referral”.
5. A ‘Qualifying Trade’ is a CFD with a minimum size of one mini contract or equivalent on which you have paid commission (subject to any applicable promotional offers). For the avoidance of doubt, trades subject to a commission free period will not be Qualifying Trades.
