cc.cc Referral Program

Preamble – Service Vision and Nature

cc.cc is a service built around unique naming assets. We believe that this service has the potential to create significant long-term value, and we operate cc.cc with the goal of realizing that potential. This Referral Program is designed to record and recognize contributions made during that long-term value creation process. Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as a guarantee of the value of cc.cc, any acquisition, acquisition price, revenue, or compensation.

Article 1 (Program Overview)

This Referral Program is a conditional incentive program that records Exit Credits for users who contribute to the growth of the cc.cc service, which may be settled only in the event of a future acquisition (“Exit”).

Article 2 (Definitions)

For the purposes of these Terms, the following definitions apply 1. “Exit” means the sale of cc.cc, or any of its major assets, equity interests, business units, or a transaction substantially similar thereto, to a third party. 2. “Exit Credit” means a conditional reward amount recorded for a user under this Program. 3. “Referral” means a new user registration completed through a valid referral link.

Article 3 (Eligibility)

1. Participation in this Program is limited to accounts authenticated via Google (Gmail) OpenID. 2. Only one account per individual is permitted. Duplicate accounts or identity misuse may result in disqualification. 3. Accounts created or operated using automation, proxies, VPNs, or other abnormal methods may be excluded from participation.

Article 3-1 (Reward Eligibility by Region)

1. Participation in this Program is not limited by nationality, and users may participate regardless of their country of residence. 2. However, as of the current date, Exit Credits are recorded only when a referred user who signs up through a referral link is a resident of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, France, Japan, Ireland, or New Zealand. 3. This regional eligibility requirement may be expanded or modified in the future based on service operations, compliance considerations, or other business factors, at cc.cc’s discretion.

Article 4 (Recording of Exit Credits)

1. Exit Credits may be recorded under the following conditions: o Referrer: USD $30 in Exit Credits for each qualified new user. o Referred User: USD $30 in Exit Credits upon registration through a referral link. 2. Exit Credits are recorded at the time of signup or referral.

Article 5 (Duplicate Prevention and Anti-Abuse)

1. Only one signup or referral per IP address within a 30-day period may be recognized. 2. Signups or referrals originating from proxy IPs, VPNs, datacenter IPs, or anonymization services may not be recognized. 3. Fraud, use of illegal programs, self-referrals, or coordinated manipulation may result in exclusion from settlement eligibility.

Article 6 (Interest Accrual)

1. Recorded Exit Credits accrue simple interest at an annual rate of 3%. 2. Interest is calculated on a yearly basis from the date the Exit Credit is recorded. 3. This interest does not represent an investment return or a guarantee of payment.

Article 7 (Exit Conditions and Settlement)

1. Exit Credits become subject to settlement procedures if cc.cc is involved in a transaction in which a portion of its equity, business units, or comparable assets are sold at a valuation of one billion US dollars or greater. 2. In such cases, a portion of the Exit Credits shall be settled on a priority basis, in proportion to the actual scope of the assets transferred and their corresponding share of the enterprise value. 3. Any remaining, unsettled Exit Credit balance shall not be forfeited, and to the extent the settlement conditions under these Terms are met, such balance shall be included sequentially for settlement in connection with future asset sales, equity transactions, capital raises, or comparable valuation events. 4. Each settlement shall be reasonably calculated based on the actual economic substance, transaction structure, and scope of the relevant transaction, and settlement shall occur only if the user’s cumulative Exit Credits total at least USD $100 at the time of settlement. 5. Exit Credits under this Program do not constitute an investment, a fixed or enforceable debt, or an unconditional obligation to pay, and each settlement is determined individually in accordance with the conditions and procedures set forth in these Terms.

Article 8 (Payment Method and Country Restrictions)

1. Settlement of Exit Credits shall be made exclusively via PayPal. 2. Payments are made solely via PayPal at the time of acquisition and are sent only to the PayPal account linked to the email address used at signup. Users residing in countries where PayPal cannot receive funds at that time are excluded from payment eligibility, and payment methods or recipient accounts will not be changed even if PayPal becomes available later. 3. cc.cc has no obligation to provide alternative payment methods. 4. Any and all taxes, duties, transfer fees, payment processing fees, and other costs arising from or in connection with the settlement of Exit Credits shall be borne solely by the user. 5. cc.cc does not withhold, deduct, or remit any taxes on behalf of users in connection with Exit Credit settlements. Users are solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any applicable taxes in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

Article 9 (Program Termination)

1. cc.cc may terminate this Program for operational reasons with at least three (3) months’ prior notice. 2. Exit Credits recorded prior to program termination remain valid, and interest under Article 6 continues to accrue as long as the cc.cc service remains active.

Article 10 (Service Termination)

1. If the cc.cc service is discontinued or permanently shut down, this Program and all Exit Credits shall terminate immediately. 2. In such cases, no settlement, payment, or compensation shall be owed.

Article 11 (No Investment or Debt)

1. Exit Credits do not constitute debt, enforceable claims, securities, or equity interests in cc.cc. 2. This Program is a conditional incentive mechanism under which settlement is considered only if an Exit occurs, in accordance with these Terms

Article 12 (Standard of Judgment)

All determinations regarding eligibility, record validity, settlement, and payment under this Program shall be made based on fairness, reasonableness, and generally accepted service operation practices.

Article 13 (Amendments)

cc.cc may amend these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any changes will be announced through the service.

Article 14 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)

Any legal matters, disputes, or claims arising out of or relating to this Program shall be governed by and resolved in accordance with the governing law and jurisdiction specified in the cc.cc Terms of Service applicable to the user.
