9. Optional ArtSmiths Referral Program (ARP) Rules
From time to time, an NFT artist who is offering their collection of NFTs on the ArtForge platform will choose to include optional participation in the ArtSmiths Referral Program (“ARP”).  By choosing this option, the artist has agreed to share a portion of their revenue from the sale of NFTs with those participants (“ArtSmiths”) in the form of XTZ (Tezos) in exchange for those ArtSmiths spreading awareness of the collection through their personal relationships, friends and family and other associations and those referrals purchasing NFTs.  These “Referral Rewards” will be allocated in real time to a Referral Rewards balance that is presented to the ArtSmith on the ArtForge site (as long as the ArtSmith’s wallet is properly connected).  The ArtSmith may periodically claim and transfer XTZ directly into the ArtSmith’s wallet as frequently as they like.  By participating as an ArtSmith, you are agreeing to the specific set of rules (“Rules”) outlined in this section.

In such cases, the collection is considered private, and participants who wish to purchase an NFT must first be provided a private invitation link.  Each participant will then be given their own link that they can share with others.  Each collection will have its own percentage payout schedule, based on the portion the artist agreed to share with the ArtSmiths.

The specifics of the payout schedule along with the hierarchy of referrals will all be included in any necessary smart contract development and will forever be stored on-chain.  Any payments to ArtSmith balances will happen automatically and in real time per the configuration/development of the smart contracts associated with the collection and will not only be available for third-party analysis, but will forever be unalterable and permanent.  As new participants are referred by existing ArtSmiths the referral hierarchy will continue to grow but will forever be locked in on-chain.

Any associated payments of ArtSmith fees will only be performed when the corresponding sales of NFTs are performed on the ArtForge platform OR when such sales are performed by interaction with the ArtForge smart contracts governing the collection's sales.  To be specific, any transfer of NFTs directly between wallets or any sale of NFTs on platforms other than ArtForge will NOT yield a corresponding percentage being paid to the referring ArtSmith.

Each collection presented on the ArtForge platform has a separate ARP associated with it.  Even if an artist has multiple collections, each is treated separately as it relates to the collection’s ARP.  Each collection will have a different referral hierarchy as well as a different payout schedule.  Each ArtSmith may choose to participate in each collection individually (choosing to participate in some and not in others).  The ArtSmith will receive a separate referral link (specific to the collection) for each ARP the ArtSmith chooses to participate in.

By accepting and sharing your referral link or code or by signing up with a referral link or code, you are agreeing to be bound by these Rules.  

· 9.1. Who is eligible to be an ArtSmith?
Anyone may be an ArtSmith who (a) is a legal resident of his/her country and (b) is of legal age where they live.

· 9.2. Who is eligible to be a referral?
Your friends, family, and other people you know (but not yourself) are eligible to be referrals. To receive a Referral Reward for referring someone who purchases NFTs, your referral must purchase the NFT on the ArtForge platform.

· 9.3. How can I use my referral link or code?
NOTE:  This subsection 9.3 does NOT apply to any individual or entity that Company is engaged with separately as an influencer or marketing firm. 

Company wants you to share your referral link or code and earn Referral Rewards, but referral links or codes must be used only for personal and non-commercial purposes. This means that you can share your referral link or code only with people you know. You agree that you will not:
a.	Duplicate, sell, or transfer your referral link or code in any manner or make it available to the general public (such as by printing it on business cards or using paid social media or paid search);
b.	Try to get referrals by spamming, bulk emailing, or sending large numbers of unsolicited emails. The only people you should be contacting are people you know personally;
c.	Use, display, or manipulate Company intellectual property (such as Company's logos, trademarks, and copyright-protected works) in any way, except as to identify yourself as a participant, ArtSmith, or ArtSmith for Company;
d.	Create or register any (i) businesses, (ii) URLs, (iii) domain names, (iv) software application names or titles, or (v) social media handles or profiles that include the word "ArtForge" or any of Company's other trademarks or any words that are confusingly similar to Company's trademarks.
e.	Use Company's trademarks as your social media profile picture or wallpaper or use any of Company's copyright-protected works (such as graphics, photos, images, drawings, and screenshots from Company's website or app) without Company's express written permission;
f.	Purchase keywords (including, but not limited to Google AdWords) that contain any of Company's trademarks;
g.	Use automated systems or bots through any channel to distribute, post, or otherwise share your referral link or code;
h.	Use scripts or programmed or automatic dialers to send invites or otherwise share your referral link or code;
i.	Make misleading claims about Company, use offensive/abusive content, create fake websites/webpages/social media profiles/apps, misrepresent your connection to Company, or otherwise make any false or misleading statements to get a referral to use your link or code; or
j.	Use your referral link or code in any manner that violates the law or the rights of anyone else.
Remember, when you share your referral link or code, you should explain that you are an ArtSmith with ArtForge.

· 9.4. How much do I earn for my referrals as an ArtSmith?
Each collection carries a different payout schedule according to its artist’s wishes.  These are defined before the initiation of the crowdsale and are programmed into the smart contracts so that they cannot be changed.  The percentage of the minting price (in XTZ) that each artist is sharing with the ArtSmiths in that collection (the “ARP Payout”) is presented on the ArtForge website with the collection.  

ArtSmiths will receive an amount equal to 50% of the ARP Payout when each of their personal referrals purchases an NFT.  

If an ArtSmith also chooses to purchase an NFT during the crowdsale in a given collection, additional referral levels will become open to them and they will earn additional Referral Rewards for sales of NFTs in that collection.  The ArtSmith will earn an amount equal to 30% of the ARP Payout when their level two referrals (i.e., referrals that the ArtSmith’s personal referrals refer) purchase NFTs.  In addition, the ArtSmith will earn an amount equal to 20% of the ARP Payout when their level three referrals (i.e., referrals that the ArtSmith’s level 2 referrals refer) purchase NFTs.  The ArtSmith’s “Referral Group” constitutes all referrals (whether level one, two or three) that the ArtSmith is eligible to earn Referral Rewards on.

Example:  If the ARP Payout presented by the artist for their collection is defined as 35% of the NFT proceeds, and an NFT is sold for 10 XTZ, the ARP Payout would be 3.5 XTZ and the Referral Rewards would be paid as follows:

-	ArtSmith #1 who referred the NFT sale:		1.75 XTZ (50% of ARP Payout)
-	ArtSmith #2 who referred ArtSmith #1:		1.05 XTZ (30% of ARP Payout)
-	ArtSmith #3 who referred ArtSmith #2:		0.7 XTZ (20% of ARP Payout)

· 9.5. How do I earn my Referral Reward as an ArtSmith?
As long as you and your referrals follow these Rules and these Terms your Referral Rewards will begin to accumulate as sales of NFTs are made by those in your Referral Group.  Your Referral Reward balance will be presented on the ArtForge site (as long as your wallet is properly connected).  You must “Claim” that balance periodically and transfer the amount in XTZ to your connected wallet.  Note that unless stated otherwise, all Referral Rewards balances will expire 365 days from the date they are deposited.  In addition, you are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to any transactions that are performed as a result of participation in the ARP. Company is not responsible for determining the taxes that may or may not apply to your Referral Rewards.

· 9.6. Termination and changes
Company reserves the right to change, end, or pause, in whole or in part, any ArtSmith’s participation in any collection’s ARP, whether currently or in the future, as well as any ArtSmith's or referral's ability to participate in any collection’s ARP or receive Referral Rewards at any time for any reason, including suspected fraud (including by either the ArtSmith and/or referral), abuse, or any violation of these Rules as well as any agreement (if one exists) between any ArtSmith and Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates. 

Company may update these Rules at any time and will post the update on the ArtForge.io website. Continued participation in any referral program after any update will mean that you have agreed to the update.

· 9.7. Disclaimer
By participating in the ARP, you agree that ArtForge does not receive the funds that are shared by the artist with the ArtSmiths.  ArtForge simply redefines the revenue allocations according to the artist’s wishes and directs those revenues to the participating ArtSmiths upon the sale of NFTs by those ArtSmith referrals.  ArtForge is a technical hosting platform acting on the artist’s behalf and does not participate directly in the compensation of referrers.
