5 TRANSACTIONS ON THE TRADING PLATFORM


5.1 OPENING AND COMPLETING A TRANSACTION

5.1.1 Subject to Section ‎10.1, you shall be able to consummate a Transaction through the Trading Platform for certain Instruments in a number of markets worldwide. You acknowledge and agree that we may, in our sole discretion, add, remove or suspend from the Trading Platform, any Instrument, on any foreign market, from time to time.

5.1.2 In order to open a Transaction on the Trading Platform, you must either open a Buy or a Sell, at the price quoted by the Trading Platform at the time of such Transaction. In order to close a Transaction, you must either offer to, sell (in the case of a Buy), or purchase (in the case of a Sell), the Instruments covered by such open Transaction, at the price quoted by the Trading Platform at the time of such closing offer.

5.1.3 The Trading Platform will provide a Buy quote and a Sell quote for each Instrument traded on the Trading Platform. You acknowledge that upon opening a Buy or closing a Sell, you may only do so at the price quoted by the Trading Platform to purchase such an Instrument. You further acknowledge that upon opening a Sell or closing a Buy, you may only do so at the price quoted by the Trading Platform to sell such an Instrument.

5.1.4 On the Trading Platform, you shall be entitled to make an offer to open a Transaction at the best available rate on the Trading Platform (“Market Order”) at the time of opening such a Transaction, unless you specify a particular price in which to make an offer to open a Transaction (“Limit Order”). With respect to a Market Order, the price in which a Transaction is consummated may not always be at the exact rate displayed when the order is submitted. You agree that your offer to open a Market Order may be accepted at a lower or higher price than the price indicated by you in your Market Order, within a certain range as specified on the Trading Platform from time to time.If you choose to open a Limit Order, your offer may be accepted at the price indicated by you in your offer. At any time prior to acceptance of a Limit Order, you may cancel the Limit Order without any further liability. If you choose to open a Market Order, your offer will be accepted at the best possible rate offered on the Trading Platform.

5.2 STOP AND LIMITS

5.2.1 We may, in our sole discretion, allow you to specify a closing price for a Transaction through a “Close at Loss” and “Close at Profit” order, subject always to the terms of this Agreement and any other terms and conditions we may implement from time to time.

5.2.2 You acknowledge that we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, act or refuse to act on any Order irrespective of whether the closing price specified in such an Order has been reached or exceeded or the length of time that such specified level was available on the Trading Platform.

5.2.3 Upon your offer and our acceptance of an Order, you hereby authorize us to close the Transaction at the Close at Loss price or Close at Profit price, as applicable, and as agreed upon in the Order, without further instruction from or notification to you. We may, in our sole discretion, close the Transaction when the price quoted by us on the Trading Platform equals or exceeds the price accepted by us for such an Order. You acknowledge that we will not be required to close any Transaction if you are not in compliance with any of the factors set forth in Section ‎5.6.13.

5.2.4 We may, in our sole discretion, allow you to request the opening or closing of a Transaction, including a Close at Loss and Close at Profit Order, within a specific time period determined by you. If we have accepted such a request, we may in our sole discretion, close the Transaction within such specific time period. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be obligated to close such a Transaction outside such specific time period or which does not otherwise comply with any other limitations agreed upon with respect to such Transaction.

5.2.5 We may, in our sole discretion, accept an offer to place a trailing stop in relation to a Close at Loss. You acknowledge that the original price level set forth in a Close at Loss may be amended as the market on the Trading Platform moves in your favor. Whilst your trailing Close at Loss is still in effect, you agree that each change in the market by at least one (1) percentage in point (referred to as "Pips" on the Trading Platform) in your favor shall constitute a new offer by you to raise the level of your trailing Close at Loss by one (1) percentage in point. Changes in a Pip will be rounded to the nearest absolute value in your base currency based on your country of origin, as shall be specified on the Trading Platform.

5.2.6 You acknowledge and agree that due to market volatility and factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee that an Order will be executed at the level specified in your Order, for example, an Order may be closed at a worse price than as originally specified by you in such an Order. In such an event, we will close the Transaction at the next best price. For example, with respect to a Close at Loss, in the case of a Buy, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly decrease below the Close at Loss price, without ever reaching such price. In the case of a Sell, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly increase above the Close at Loss price, without ever reaching such price.

With respect to a Close at Profit where the price for an Instrument moves to your advantage (for example, if the price goes down as you buy or the price goes up as you sell), you agree that we can (but do not have to) pass such price improvement on to you. For example, in the case of a Buy, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly increase above the Close at Profit price, without ever reaching such price. In the case of a Sell, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly decrease below the Close at Profit price, without ever reaching such price.

5.3 PREMIUM

5.3.1 Any open Transaction held by you at the end of the international trading day or over the weekend when the Exchanges are closed, shall automatically be rolled over to the next business day so as to avoid an automatic close and physical settlement of the Transaction. You acknowledge that when rolling such Transactions to the next business day, a Premium will be either added or subtracted from your account with respect to such Transaction. The Premium amount shall be determined by us from time to time, in our absolute discretion, based on a number of factors including among others, whether the Transaction is a Buy or a Sell, interest rates, Instrument differentials, daily price fluctuations and other economic factors. In deciding whether to open a Transaction for a specific Instrument, you acknowledge that you are aware of the Premium.

5.3.2 You hereby authorize us to add or subtract the Premium to or from your account for any open Transaction that have accrued a Premium, in accordance with the applicable rate thereto, each day at the time of collection specified on the Trading Platform for each individual Instrument, as applicable.

5.4 EXPIRY TRANSACTIONS

5.4.1 We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, set an Expiry Date for a specific Instrument.

5.4.2 In the event we set an Expiry Date for a specific Instrument, it shall appear on the Trading Platform. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the Expiry Date.

5.4.3 If you do not close an open Transaction with respect to an Instrument which has an Expiry Date, prior to such Expiry Date, the Transaction shall automatically close upon the Expiry Date. The Transaction shall close at a price which will be the last price quoted on the Trading Platform immediately prior to the applicable Expiry Date.

5.5 FORCED CLOSE

5.5.1 If the prices quoted on the Trading Platform change such that the total Difference payable by you pursuant to all of your open Transaction equals or exceeds the total Maintenance Margin for all such Transactions, or the amount in your Trading Account is equal to or less than the total Maintenance Margin for all of your open Transaction, or if we receive a charge-back from your credit card issuer or with respect to any other payment method, for any reason you acknowledge that we may, in our sole discretion, immediately close any and all of your open Transactions whether at a loss or a profit and liquidate your Trading Account in accordance with Section ‎11.3, without any notice whatsoever.

5.5.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the prices quoted on the Trading Platform move against the price of your Transaction, we may, without obligation or liability, request that you increase the amount in your Trading Account, within a short period of time, to cover the Difference and/or meet the Maintenance Margin requirements for the purpose of keeping a Transaction open. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed by us, we may in our sole discretion, close any and all of your open Transaction whether at a loss or a profit and liquidate your Trading Account for the Difference payable by you.

5.5.3 We may specify on the Trading Platform expiration times and dates for various Instruments traded on the Platform. If the Trading Platform specifies such a time of expiration for an Instrument, you hereby authorize us to close any open Transactions with respect to such an Instrument, at the price quoted on the Trading Platform at such time.

5.5.4 You acknowledge that the trading of certain Instruments on the Trading Platform may become volatile very quickly and without warning. Due to the high degree of risk involved in trading volatile Instruments, you acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right to close all or any open Transactions with respect to Instruments that we determine, in our sole discretion, are volatile, at the price quoted on the Trading Platform at such time without notice.

5.6 GENERAL RULES OF TRADING

5.6.1 You acknowledge and agree that each Transaction conducted on the Trading Platform, including the placing of an Order, is comprised of first, an offer by you to complete a Transaction (whether such offer is to open a Transaction or close an open Transaction) at a certain price quoted on the Trading Platform, and our subsequent acceptance of your offer. A Transaction will be deemed to have been consummated only when your offer has been received and accepted by us. Our acceptance of an offer will be evidenced by our confirmation of its terms to you and its consummation.

5.6.2 We will be under no obligation to, but may in our absolute discretion, provide quotes for, or accept, execute or cancel, all or any part of a Transaction that you have requested through the Trading Platform without giving any reason thereto. You may request to cancel or amend a Transaction at any time prior to our closing such a Transaction. We shall be entitled, but not obligated, to accept such a request in our sole discretion.

5.6.3 We reserve the right to void from the outset any Transaction containing or based on any Manifest Error. In the absence of our fraud or willful default, we will not be liable to you for any loss, cost, claim, demand or expense following any Manifest Error.

5.6.4 You acknowledge that all prices shown on the Trading Platform are indicative only of actual trading prices and are subject to constant change.

5.6.5 You shall comply with any restrictions that we notify you from time to time with respect to your activities on the Trading Platform, including without limitation, the size of Transactions or other conditions that may apply to our quote. You acknowledge that we may offer to and impose on each user, in our sole discretion, different terms and restrictions with respect to their use of the Trading Platform.

5.6.6 You acknowledge that the Trading Platform is independent of any Exchanges and we are under no obligation to quote a particular price or follow the trading rules consistent with such Exchanges. You further acknowledge that the triggering of your Transaction is linked to the prices we quote on the Trading Platform, not the prices quoted on the relevant Exchanges. In determining whether the prices quoted on the Trading Platform reach or exceed the price accepted by us in a Transaction, we will be entitled (but not obliged), in our absolute discretion, to disregard any prices quoted by us during any pre-market, post-market or intra-day auction periods in the relevant Exchange, during any intra-day or other period of suspension in the relevant Exchange, or during any other period that in our reasonable opinion may give rise to short-term price spikes or other distortions. Our prices may differ from the current prices on the relevant Exchanges and you acknowledge that a Transaction may be triggered even though (a) an Exchange never traded at the level of your Transaction; or (b) the Exchange did trade at the level of your Transaction but for such a short period that it would have been impractical to execute an equivalent transaction on the Exchange.

5.6.7 When you complete a Transaction on the Trading Platform, you acknowledge that you are dealing with us as principal and not dealing on the Exchange.

5.6.8 You acknowledge that any prices quoted on the Trading Platform are set by us in our reasonable discretion, taking into account a variety of factors including prevailing market conditions and trading demand on the Trading Platform. You undertake and agree not to use the prices quoted on the Trading Platform for any purpose other than for your own trading purpose, and you agree not to redistribute our prices to any other person whether such redistribution is for commercial or other purposes.

5.6.9 You acknowledge that each Transaction is made for a specified number of units that constitute the underlying Instrument. You may only complete Transactions on the Trading Platform for the minimum number of units as set forth on the Trading Platform as the “Unit Amount”, and in multiples of such “Unit Amount” up until the maximum amount permitted by the Trading Platform. You acknowledge and agree that we may set, in our sole and absolute discretion, the “Unit Amount” for each Instrument.

5.6.10 Each Transaction opened by you, and any Transaction completed, will be binding on you notwithstanding that by opening the Transaction you may have exceeded any credit or other limit applicable to you or in respect of your dealings with us.

5.6.11 Subject to Sections ‎5.6.14 and ‎6, you may request a quote to open or close a Transaction for a particular Instrument, at any time during the Trading Hours for such Instrument. We will be under no obligation to but may, in our absolute discretion, provide a quote and accept and act on your offer to open or close a Transaction for an Instrument outside of the Trading Hours of such Instrument.

5.6.12 Without derogating from Section ‎5.1.3, if, prior to the acceptance of your offer to open or close a Transaction, we become aware that any of the factors set out in Section ‎5.6.13 have not been met, we reserve the right to reject your offer outright. If we have, nevertheless, already opened or closed a Transaction prior to becoming aware that a factor set out in Section ‎5.6.13 has not been met, we may, in our absolute discretion, either treat such a Transaction as void from the outset or close it at our then prevailing price. However, we may, in our absolute discretion, allow you to open or, as the case may be, close the Transaction in which case you will be bound by the opening or closure of such Transaction, notwithstanding that the factors in Section ‎5.6.13 were not satisfied.

5.6.13 The factors referred to in Section ‎5.6.12 include the following:

(i) the quote must be obtained via the Trading Platform or by such other means as we may from time to time notify you;

(ii) your offer to open or close the Transaction must be given while the quote is still valid;

(iii) the quote must not contain a Manifest Error;

(iv) when you offer to open a Transaction, the number of units in respect of which the Transaction is to be opened must be neither smaller than the minimum unit amount specified on the Trading Platform for an Instrument, as applicable, from time to time, nor greater than the amount permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(v) when you offer to close part but not all of an open Transaction both the part of the Transaction that you offer to close and the part that would remain open if we accepted your offer must not be smaller than the minimum unit amount specified on the Trading Platform;

(vi) a Force Majeure Event must not have occurred as described in Section ‎6.1; (vii) when you offer to open or close a Transaction an Event of Default must not have occurred in respect of you;

(viii) when you offer to open any Transaction, the opening of the Transaction must not result in your exceeding any credit or other limit placed on your dealings;

(ix) subject to Section ‎5.6.11, your offer must be given to us during the Trading Hours for the applicable Instrument in respect of which you offer to open or close the Transaction; and

(x) any other factor that we in our sole discretion notify you from time to time.

5.6.14 If, before your offer to open or close a Transaction is accepted by us, our quote moves to your advantage (for example, if the price goes down as you buy or the price goes up as you sell) you agree that we can (but do not have to) pass such price improvement on to you. The effect of such action being that the level at which you offer to open or close a Transaction will, upon acceptance by us, be altered to the more favorable price. You acknowledge that it is in your best interests for us to alter the level of your offer in the manner contemplated in this Section and you agree that any offer altered in accordance with this Section, once accepted by us, results in a fully binding agreement between us. Without derogating from the foregoing, you acknowledge that it is within our complete discretion as to when we will pass on a price improvement to you. You should also note that we will only pass on a price improvement within allowable limits.

5.6.15 Use of any robots, spiders or other automated data entry system with the Trading Platform is expressly prohibited. All Transactions must be completed manually by you. Any Transaction completed through such use of an automatic data entry system shall be null and void. Upon a breach of this Section, we may immediately close all or any of your accounts held with us of whatever nature, terminate this Agreement without notice and refuse to enter into further Transactions with you. Furthermore, any monies held in your Trading Account shall be frozen and we shall be entitled to deduct any amounts from your Trading Account in order to set off any loss, damages or expenses incurred by us as a result of a breach of this Section.

6 FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS


6.1 We may, in our reasonable opinion, determine that a Force Majeure Event exists. A Force Majeure Event will include, but is not limited to, the following:

6.1.1 any act, event or occurrence (including without limitation any strike, riot or civil commotion, act of terrorism, war, industrial action, acts and regulations of any governmental or supra national bodies or authorities) that, in our opinion, prevents us from maintaining an orderly market in one or more of the Instruments in respect of which we deal on the Trading Platform;

The parties shall be released of all responsibilities for partial, full or non-fulfillment, as well as for improper fulfillment of the obligations under this Agreement, if such non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment was a result of a Force Majeure Event, which occurred after this Agreement was concluded.

8.1 You hereby acknowledge and agree that all funds, currencies, and other property belonging to you and which (i) are held by us, or by one of our affiliates (either individually, jointly with another, or as a guarantor of the account of any other person), (ii) may at any time be in our possession or control, or (iii) is carried on our books for any purpose, including for safekeeping, are held as security and are subject to a general lien and right of set-off for all liabilities that you owe to us, irrespective of whether we have made advances in connection with such property or the number of accounts you may have with us.

8.2 We may, in our sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to you, apply and/or transfer any or all funds, currencies or other property of yours between any of your accounts.

8.3 You hereby grant to us the right to pledge, re-pledge, hypothecate, invest or loan, either separately or with the property of other users of the Trading Platform, in favor of ourselves or to others, any securities or other property of yours held by us as Margin or security.

9 ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE TRADING PLATFORM


You acknowledge that we have the right, unilaterally and with immediate effect, to suspend or terminate (at any time, with or without cause or prior notice) all or any part of the Trading Platform or your access thereto, to change the nature, composition or availability of any service or functionality offered on it, or to change the limits we set on the trading you may conduct through it.

10 MARGIN AND DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS


10.1 In order to open a Transaction for an Instrument, you must have the Initial Margin in your Trading Account. In order to keep a Transaction open, you must ensure that the amount in your Trading Account exceeds the Maintenance Margin. You acknowledge that the Margin for each Instrument differs and may be changed by us in our sole discretion from time to time. Payments to your Trading Account can be made by wire transfer or another method of payment, to a bank account, or other location, as we may notify to you from time to time. Based on the amount of money you have in your Trading Account, we retain the right to limit the amount and total number of open Transactions that you may wish to open or currently maintain on the Trading Platform.

10.2 Margin payments and any other payments due will, unless otherwise agreed or specified by us, be required in your base currency based on your country of origin, as shall be specified on the Trading Platform. We shall not, and you shall not request us to, convert any monies standing to your credit or which have been paid by you into your Trading Account in one currency to another currency.

10.3 You are aware and acknowledge that we may, in our sole discretion, require you to increase the amount in your Trading Account pursuant to a Margin Call. A Margin Call may be based upon a number of factors, including without limitation, your overall position with us, your account size, the number of open Transactions you have, volume traded, your trade history and market conditions. No previous Margin requirements by us shall preclude us from increasing the rates of Margin without prior notice.

10.4 You agree to immediately satisfy any Margin Calls, by wire transfer to your Trading Account in the time prescribed by us. Our failure on one or more occasions to enforce or exercise our right to insist on immediate payments as set forth herein will not amount to a waiver or bar to enforcement of that right.

11 PAYMENTS AND SET-OFF


11.1 Upon completing a Transaction, and subject to any applicable adjustments for interest as set forth in this Agreement:

11.1.1 You shall be liable for the Difference if the Transaction is:
(i) a Sell, and the closing price of the Transaction is higher than the opening price of the Transaction; or
(ii) a Buy, and the closing price of the Transaction is lower than the opening price of the Transaction,
11.1.2 You shall receive the Difference if the Transaction is:
(i) a Sell, and the closing price of the Transaction is lower than the opening price of the Transaction; or
(ii) a Buy, and the closing price of the Transaction is higher than the opening price of the Transaction.

11.2 Unless we agree otherwise, all sums of which you are liable pursuant to Section ‎11.1 are due immediately upon the closing price of your Transaction being determined by us and the Transaction being closed.

11.3 You hereby authorize us to automatically liquidate your Trading Account for the amounts for which you are liable pursuant to Section ‎11.1 upon the closing of a Transaction, or for any other amounts due by you under this Agreement, without prior notice. Any failure to enforce our rights hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by us to enforce our rights hereunder.

11.4 Subject to any amounts for which you are liable under this Agreement and the amount of the Maintenance Margin required in your Trading Account in accordance with this Agreement due to open Transactions, any money standing to the credit of your Trading Account will be remitted to you upon your request. Where you do not make such a request, we will be under no obligation to, but may, in our absolute discretion, remit such monies to you. All bank charges howsoever arising will be deducted from your Trading Account. The manner in which we remit monies to you will be in our absolute discretion.

11.5 You shall be liable for any and all taxes, fees and assessments with respect to any Transaction you complete on the Trading Platform. It is your obligation alone to calculate and pay all taxes applicable to you in your country of residence, or otherwise arising as a result of your trading activity from the use of the Trading Platform.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, IF REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL PERFORM DEDUCTION AT SOURCE FROM ANY PAYMENTS DUE TO YOU OF SUCH AMOUNTS REQUIRED BY THE TAX AUTHORITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

Without derogating from your sole and entire responsibility to perform tax payments, you agree that we may deduct tax, as may be required by the applicable law, with respect to your trading activity on the Trading Platform. You are aware that we have a right of set-off against any amounts in your Trading Account with respect to such tax deductions, and you hereby authorize us to withdraw amounts from your Trading Account in which to pay such taxes. You shall have no claim against us with regard to such deductions. You further agree that such deductions do not derogate from our rights to make Margin Calls under this Agreement.

11.6 It is hereby clarified that subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Difference is the only payment required by you for the use of the Trading Platform. Notwithstanding the above, we reserve the right to charge additional payments in the future, upon prior notice.

11.7 We reserve the right to seek reimbursement from you, if we receive a charge-back from any credit card issuer or with respect to any other payment method, for any reason. We may obtain such reimbursement by charging your Trading Account, deducting amounts from future payments owed to you, charging your credit card or obtaining reimbursement from you by any other lawful meanings.

12 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES


12.1 You will open each Transaction with us as principal and not as agent for any person. This means that unless we have otherwise agreed in writing, we will treat you as our client for all purposes and you will be directly and personally responsible for performing your obligations under each Transaction entered into by you, whether you are dealing with us directly or through an agent. If you act in connection with or on behalf of someone else, whether or not you identify that person to us or not, we will not accept that person as a customer of ours and we will accept no obligation to them unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing.

12.2 Dealings with you will be carried out by us on an execution-only basis unless otherwise agreed by us in writing. We do not and will not provide advice about a particular Transaction. You agree that, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, we are under no obligation:

(a) to satisfy ourselves as to the suitability of any Transaction for you;
(b) to monitor or advise you on the status of any Transaction;
(c) to make Margin Calls or advise you that you are in breach of Section ‎10.1; or
(d) to close any Transaction that you have opened,
notwithstanding that previously we may have taken such action in relation to that Transaction or any other.
12.3 You hereby acknowledge and declare that in respect of all dealings conducted by you on the Trading Platform, you rely on your own judgment in opening, closing, or refraining from opening or closing a Transaction and that we will not, in the absence of fraud, be liable for any losses (including, without limitation, indirect or consequential losses or loss of opportunity or profits arising from any failure by you to make any anticipated profits), costs, expenses or damages suffered by you arising from any inaccuracy or mistake in any information or advice including without limitation the Financial Data, or unsuitability of any such information or advice, given to you, including without limitation, information or advice relating to any of your Transactions with us. The Financial Data provided to you is for your convenience only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. You acknowledge that you have relied upon other sources of financial data and information and verified the Financial Data with independent sources before completing a Transaction on the Trading Platform. Subject to our right to void or close any Transaction in the specific circumstances set out in this Agreement, any Transaction opened by you following such inaccuracy or mistake will nonetheless remain valid and binding in all respects on both you and us.
12.4 Before you begin to trade with us, you acknowledge that you are aware of all spreads, fees, interest and other charges for which you will be liable under this Agreement. These charges will affect your trading net profits (if any) or increase your losses, as the case may be.

13 CREDIT EVALUATION


You hereby authorize us or agents acting on our behalf, to investigate your credit standing and in connection therewith, to contact such banks, financial institutions and credit agencies as we shall deem appropriate to verify your financial information. You further authorize us to investigate your current and past investment activity, and in connection thereto, to contact such futures commission merchants, exchanges, brokers/dealers, banks, and compliance data centers as we shall deem appropriate.

You acknowledge that, if we agree to allow you to continue to trade or to allow your open Positions to remain open, this may result in your incurring further losses.

14.9 The rights set forth in this Section ‎14 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which a non-defaulting party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise).

We are compensated by marking up the price we received from the Financial Institution. You should be aware that we may make money if the market goes against you. Additionally, since we act as the buyer or the seller in a Transaction, you should carefully evaluate any trade information you receive from us, or from any referred Financial Institution.
