i. Rebate ratio & duration: Channels of spot rebate partners must meet the conditions in the above table. The spot transaction rebate rate is 40%(The users who have already been invited and registered will not be affected). The rebate duration is divided into three levels, one year, two years since the invitee registered and permanent. After the duration ends, rebate of the invitees will be stopped.

ii. Quarterly evaluation: Implement the quarterly evaluation rules on the channels’ achievements. The standards are the same as the above table and consistent with the partnership conditions. The evaluation is equivalent to re-rating the channel and only affects the rights of inviting new users after the re-rating. The users who have already been invited and registered will not be affected. Some important instructions are as follows:

a. For Level 1 channels, the resources background will no longer be assessed during the quarterly assessment. Only the completion status of conditions 1 and 2 will be assessed. If the standards are not met, the rights will be back to the default level (30% rebate for 90 days); For Level 2 and Level 3 channels, if the channel fails to meet the standard, the level of rebate will be lowered until the channel status is released;

b. During partnership and evaluation, meeting the conditions in the table above does not necessarily mean that the rights will be opened. The final opening of rights depends on the results of Huobi’s actual inspection. During the inspection, priority will be given to the status of newly registered users and trading users numbers.

iii. Rebate limit: The spot transaction rebate limit provided by each invitee is 20,000 USDT (including USDT, Point Card, HT three types of assets, Point Card is calculated at 1:1, HT is calculated at the current market price). If the rebate reaches 20,000 USDT limit, the exceeding part of Point Card and HT will stop rebating. There is no limit for the USDT rebate using the basic fee rate (currently 0.2%) (invitees need to turn off the HT and Point Card deduction switches). Invitees can choose their own fee rate system freely. After the limit is reached, rebate of the invitees will be stopped.

iv. Related to the risk control rules: The rebate of the channel that violated the risk control rules will be intercepted and will not be issued to the inviter. The part of intercepting the rebate according to the risk control rules is not counted in the channel evaluation standards.

v. Settlement method: Settle in the next day. In order to facilitate channels to manage its resources, channels that meet the conditions of Level 3 can apply for up to 5 invitation accounts for sub-channel invitation. Sub accounts can be opened directly without restrictions on partnership conditions, but each account needs to independently meet the subsequent quarterly evaluation standards.

vi. Contracts rebate related: Huobi does not provide direct registration for contracts rebate. Interested party must first express whether there is a corresponding intention in the spot registration form and briefly discuss the contracts inviting new users’ development model and feasibility. Huobi will research and evaluate the qualifications of the interested party to decide whether to open the rights and notify the interested party with contracts rebate rules in 10 working days. Currently, contracts rebate is able to support coin-margined futures and coin-margined swaps. The rebate is manually cleared and settled monthly.
