fomo terms add rules on promoting referral codes

What changed

The terms fomo had published since 17 August 2026, still in place when archived on 15 October, had a short section 8, “Referral Program”: no self-referral, payouts at fomo’s discretion, and the right to claw back rewards or end the program. The version marked “Last updated: October 26, 2026”, first archived on 5 November, replaces it with a much longer section 8 covering referrals and creator rewards. The changes:

• Promotion rules, section 8.3(e). Unless fomo authorizes it in writing, someone seeking referral rewards must not (i) buy paid ads using a code or fomo’s name or branding, (ii) bid on search keywords containing fomo’s name, including misspellings, (iii) run a referral, affiliate, coupon or other promotional website that uses fomo’s name in its domain, page title or metadata, or (iv) pay or otherwise induce anyone to apply a code. fomo can disable the code, remove referred users, cancel undelivered rewards and recover paid ones. Referrers must also disclose that they are paid where the law requires.
• The share can change, section 8.3(b). fomo may vary the referral share by referrer, product, network or period, “including for users already associated with a code”, and may reduce it to zero.
• No token, section 8.3(i). “No Program promises a future token, airdrop, or equity award.”
• Creator rewards, section 8.2. The payments fomo also calls trader rewards get their own rules, with no promised yield.

What it means if you use the app

The discount for using a code has not changed: 10% off the standard rate, so 0.50% becomes 0.45%, with no effect on the fixed fees for small Solana trades. Any page promising more than that is wrong, and a site that uses fomo’s name to push a code now needs fomo’s written authorization. JomoBench has fomo’s name in its domain and carries no fomo referral code; see our disclosure and what a code really does.
