This Agreement governs the "IMPACT Application Incentive Programme" (the "Programme") offered by Interactive Brokers Central Europe Zrt. (“IBCE”). The Programme consists of multiple promotional offerings (each, a "Promotion" and collectively, the "Promotions"). Individuals deciding to participate in the Programme (i) as an applicant; (ii) as a referring or referred person; and/or (iii) as a recipient of shares awarded under the Programme ("Participants") must accept this Agreement.
IBCE may utilise the services of another Interactive Brokers entity (an “IBKR Affiliate”) to deliver on its obligations under the Programme.
All references to dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars ("USD”).
Effective December 1, 2021 (the "Effective Date"), and subject to compliance with the Eligibility Requirements in Sections 3 and 4 below, each person who opens one or more new accounts with IBCE via the IMPACT App:
Where the base currency of an account held by a person claiming under any of these promotions is not in the currency stipulated in this Agreement, then IBCE will pay the equivalent amount in the relevant account’s base currency.
Shares and Cash Payments will not be awarded pursuant to one or more of the Promotions where IBCE has confirmed that local law or regulation prohibits such arrangements.
IBCE may change the terms of the Programme in its sole discretion, including for legal or commercial reasons. The current terms of the Programme are specified on the IBCE public website and on the FAQ Page and such terms may be modified at any time.
Participation in the Programme is limited to persons who open an individual account with IBCE through the IMPACT App. Any individual who has funded an account in the past with either IBCE or an IBKR Affiliate is ineligible for the Programme.
The following types of accounts are not eligible for the Programme:
Employees of IBCE are only eligible to participate in the "Plant a Tree" Promotion of the Programme.
Any Person referred to the Impact App under the "Amplify Your Impact” referral Promotion (each a “Referred Client"), is excluded from participating in either the "Impact Shares” or "Plant a Tree” Promotions.
IBCE reserves the right to change the Programme's eligibility requirements at any time. Only IBCE’s records will be used to determine the conditions of eligibility’.
Individuals meeting the above eligibility requirements are thereafter referred to as "Eligible Clients."
To participate in the individual Promotions in the Programme, an Eligible Client must further satisfy the conditions associated with the relevant Promotion detailed in this Section 4.
a. "Amplify Your Impact" Referral Promotion
As an Eligible Client, you may refer throughout the promotion up to 5 friends/family members to the IMPACT App and receive a $30 credit to your IMPACT App account (up to a maximum total credit of $150), once the following conditions are fulfilled:
a) you maintain a net deposit amount of $1,000 (i.e., any cash deposits and position transfers into the account less any cash withdrawals and position transfers out of the account) for 180 days after the date of the referred person's initial deposit;
b) the referred person makes a deposit of at least $1,000 in the first 30 days following referral and maintains a net deposit of $1,000 for 180 days after the date of that initial deposit;
c) the referred person has not previously been a client of IBCE or an IBKR Affiliate; and
d) the Promotion cap has not yet been reached (this Promotion is capped at an internally determined aggregate maximum amount, subject to change at IBCE's sole discretion).
If you refer a person under the “Amplify your Impact” Promotion, you are prohibited from acting as broker or dealer, as defined by applicable law, and from having any further involvement with any account held by the Referred Client with IBCE or an IBKR Affiliate (each an “Account”). By participating in the Programme, you acknowledge and agree that, after the initial referral, you will not have any involvement with such an Account. Specifically, you agree not to do any of the following:
b. Two Additional Promotions
When applying to open a new account through the IMPACT App, you will also be able to select one of two additional reward options. Once you select either of these promotions in the IMPACT App, you cannot change your selection.
If you are a Referred Client, you are excluded from participating in either the "Impact Shares” or "Plant a Tree” Promotions discussed in this section. If you are an employee or IBCE or an IBKR Affiliate you are excluded from participating in the “Impact Shares” Promotion.
This Programme is not valid with any other offers and is non-transferrable. IBCE reserves the right to terminate this Programme at any time; to limit the amount of account bonuses you are eligible to receive; and to refuse or recover any promotion award if IBCE determines that it was obtained under wrongful or fraudulent circumstances, that inaccurate or incomplete information was provided, or that any terms of any agreement between you and IBCE has been violated. Accounts established in order to improperly exploit, abuse or undermine the Programme (as solely determined by IBCE) are not eligible to participate in the Programme.
