2.1. This Agreement is entered by and between the Company on the one part and the Client on the other part.
Page | 10
2.2. You will open each Transaction with us as a principal and not as an 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. 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 client of ours, and we will accept no obligation to them unless otherwise specifically agreed
in writing.
2.3. Where the Client comprises two or more persons, the liabilities and obligations under the Agreement with us shall
be joint and several. Any warning or other notice given to one of the persons who form the Client shall be deemed
to have been given to all the persons who form the Client.
2.4. Any order or instruction given by one of the persons who form the Client shall be deemed to have been given by
all the persons who form the Client.
2.5. You hereby acknowledge and declare that in respect of all transactions conducted by you on the Trading
Platform(s), you rely on your own judgment in opening, closing, or refraining from opening or closing a Transaction
and that we will not be liable for any losses (including, without limitation, indirect 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, given to you on a best endeavours basis, including,
information relating to any of your transactions with us. The information provided to you is for your convenience
only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. Subject to our right to void or close any transaction in
the specific circumstances set out in the 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.
2.6. Before you begin to trade with us, you acknowledge that you are aware of all spreads, fees, charges, swaps (as
displayed for each underlying asset in our Website and/or in the Trading Platform(s) and other charges for which
you will be liable under the Agreement. These charges will affect your trading account balance, your trading profits
(if any) or losses, as the case may be.
2.7. In the event of the death or mental incapacity of the Client, all funds held by the Company will be for the benefit
and at the order of the survivor(s) or its appointed representative, and all obligations and liabilities owed to the

2.8. The Agreement shall take effect and commence upon acceptance by the Client during the Account Opening

Account for these charges. It shall be noted that in the cases described above, the Company might retain certain

11 of the Law on Distance Trading of Financial Services to Consumers of 2004 (Law 242 (I)/2004) (“the Law”) as this
has been amended, entitles the Company to note that the withdrawal right is not applicable to the services offered
to its clients. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company has no obligation to apply the right of withdrawal of Section
10 (1) of the Law without penalty and without giving any reason by virtue of the exception offered under Section
11 of the Law, and therefore, the Client will not be able to withdraw from the client agreement once the Trading
Account was funded and/or the first Order has been placed.
2.9. Affiliates
Page | 11
2.9.1 In cases where the Client is introduced to the Company through a third party such as an Affiliate, the Client

third-party Affiliates can be provided to the Client upon request via e-mail at [email protected].

for re-categorisation, you will remain as a Retail client. For more information about Client categorisation and
protection rights, please refer to the Client Categorisation Policy available on the Website.

thereafter.
3.5. The Company shall have the right to review the Client’s Categorisation according to Applicable Regulations and
inform the Client accordingly. However, if the Company becomes aware that the Client no longer fulfils the initial

then, the Client informs the Company that the Client wishes to terminate the Agreement and not accept the change.

verification has been completed or rejected. The Agreement shall take effect and commence upon the acceptance

frame of 15 days, the commencement of a business relationship must be terminated on the date of the deadline’s

4.5. In the event we become aware of any illegal activity or impropriety in the Registration Data, we may suspend your

contacting our Customer Support Department by telephone, which may transfer your call to our dealing
department. In this case, we'll need to verify your identity. “Close” orders via telephone will only be accepted in
our official language. It should be noted that the firm reserves the right to reject such verbal orders when the

6.4. Orders are executed according to the Best Interest and Order Execution Policy.

Company’s reasonable efforts, transmission or execution may not always be achieved at all for reasons beyond the
control of the Company.
6.6. The Company bears no responsibility for any loss that arises as a result of delayed or unreceived communication
sent by the Company to the Client.

responsible for any loss, claim or expense incurred by us for following or attempting to follow any of your Orders.
You accept that you will be liable for all Orders given through and under your Access Data, and any such orders
received by us will be considered as received by you. In cases where a third party is assigned as an Authorised
Representative to act on your behalf, you will be responsible for all orders given through and under your
representative’s Access Data. It is noted, however, that the Company applies for a negative balance protection
pursuant to which you may not lose more than the amount deposited in your account. In the event that a position
is closed at such a price, causing your equity to fall below zero, the Company shall waive its right to receive the
balance from you.
6.8. Except where the Trading Platform(s) permits, all orders to trade the CFDs the Company offers are final and cannot
be cancelled or deleted unless the Company expressly agrees to such cancellation or deletion and/or unless
otherwise provided in any of the Company’s legal documentation.
6.9. Model of Execution - In relation to each Transaction, the Company will execute the Client’s Orders on its own
account basis. Under this model of execution, the Company is a counterparty against the Client in each Transaction
and executes the Client Order as a principal to principal against the Client, i.e., the Company is itself the Execution
Venue. The Company executes Client Orders according to the Summary Best Interest and Order Execution Policy,
available on our website.
6.10. Order Types - The following types of Orders are available with us: Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell

6.11. Trading Hours - Orders can be placed, executed, and (if allowed) changed or removed within the Trading Hours for
each underlying asset of CFD appearing on the Company’s Website, as amended by the Company from time to
time.
6.12. Pending Orders, not executed, shall remain effective through the next trading session (as applicable).
6.13. Orders shall be valid in accordance with the type and time of the given Order, as specified by the Client. If the time
of validity of the order is not specified, it shall be valid for an indefinite period. However, the Company may delete
one or all Pending Orders if the required margin is insufficient.
6.14. The confirmed Open or Closed Position cannot be cancelled or changed. The Client may delete or modify a Pending
Order before it is executed.
Page | 15
6.15. It is not possible to change or remove Stop Loss, Take Profit and Limit Orders if the price has reached the level of
the Order Execution.
6.16. Negative and positive slippage applies to pending orders. The Client has the option to place the following pending
or entry orders: Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, and Sell Stop, which are executed at the
declared price by the Client or the best available price in the underlying market. The Company reserves the right
not to execute orders and has the right to amend the opening/closing price of the transaction in case of technical
failure of the Online Trading System(s), reflected financial tools quotes feed, and also in the case of other technical
failures, whether being in-house or third party’s technologies. Orders may not be executed because there is not
enough volume to fill them, and they may be executed partially or be cancelled. Order is not guaranteed to execute
at the specified price but rather at the best available market price.
6.17. In the event that the Company is unable to proceed with an Order, with regard to price or size or other reason,
depending on the Order type, the Order may be rejected or partially filled.
6.18. The Company reserves the right not to accept any order or to enter into a Transaction with the Client, or the
proposed Transaction is of such a size (too small or too large) that the Company does not wish to accept that
Transaction.
6.19. Under certain trading conditions, it may be impossible to execute Orders (Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy
Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop, Pending Orders, and Market Orders) at the declared price. In this case, the Company has
the right to not execute orders and the right to change the opening/closing price of the transaction. This may occur,
for example, at times of low liquidity, high volatility/rapid price movements, or other situations where the
execution in the market is not possible (i.e., trading is suspended or restricted). Or this may occur in the trading
session start moments. As a result, placing a Stop Loss/Take Profit Order will not necessarily limit your losses/gains
to the intended amounts because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such an Order at the
stipulated price or at all.
6.20. The minimum level for placing Stop Loss, Take Profit and Limit Orders is found on our Website under Contract
Specifications.
6.21. We may establish cut-off times for instructions or Orders which may be earlier than the times established by the
particular Market involved in any Transaction, and you shall have no claims against us arising out of the fact that
an Order was not placed by you ahead of our cut- off time.
6.22. Swaps - In order to keep a position open overnight in some types of CFDs, the Client may be required to pay or
receive financing fees “Swap/Rollover”. Swaps are calculated when the position is kept open overnight at midnight
(22:00 GMT). From Friday to Monday, Swaps are calculated once. From Wednesday to Thursday, they are calculated
at triple size for currency pairs and spot metals, and on Friday are calculated at triple size for other instruments.
For Cryptocurrencies, Swaps can change daily depending on Financial Market conditions. There is a possibility that
some underlying assets may have negative rollover values on both sides (Long and Short positions) because the
Company charges its own interest based on the overnight interbank rate, and therefore, the positive and negative
values are adjusted accordingly. All prices and Swaps appear on the Online Trading System(s) and may change from
time to time without prior notice.
6.23. Lots - Information about the minimum volume of the transaction and the list of the leverage available for each
account type is available on the Website. For MT4 and MT5, the 1 (one) standard lot size is the measurement unit
that may be specified for each CFD. We have the right to change the Contract Specifications at any time, depending
on the market situation. You agree that it is your obligation to check the full specifications of the CFD before placing

any Order.
6.24. Trailing Stop, Expert Advisor and Stop Loss Orders - The Client agrees that trading operations using additional
functions of the Client Trading Platform, such as Trailing Stop and/or Expert Advisor (if available in the Trading
Platform), are executed completely under the Client’s responsibility, as they depend directly on his/her Trading
Platform and the Company bears no responsibility whatsoever.
6.25. Settlement
Upon completing a Transaction:
(a) You shall be liable for the difference if the Transaction is:
i. Sell, and the closing price of the Transaction is higher than the opening price of the Transaction; and/or
ii. Buy, and the closing price of the Transaction is lower than the opening price of the Transaction.
(b) You shall receive the Difference if the Transaction is:
iii. Sell, and the closing price of the Transaction is lower than the opening price of the Transaction; and/or
iv. Buy, and the closing price of the Transaction is higher than the opening price of the Transaction.
6.26. Unless we agree otherwise, all sums for which either Party is liable under paragraph 6.25 above are immediately
payable upon closing of the Transaction. You hereby authorise us to debit or credit your Account with the relevant
sums at the closing of each Transaction. It is understood that once you place an Order until such Order is executed
and the Transaction is closed, the Maintenance Margin shall be used as collateral and hence shall be unavailable
for withdrawal.
6.27. The Client understands and confirms that the Company has and reserves the right to introduce new Financial
Instruments and/or Underlying Assets and/or Market Hours for trading at the Trading Platform and/or suspend
and/or remove from the Trading Platform any Instrument and/or Underlying Assets and/or Market Hours at the
Company’s sole discretion without prior notice. Where the Company suspend and/or remove
a Financial Instrument and/or Underlying Assets and/or Market Hours for trading at the Trading Platform, any
product that the Client has previously opened a transaction, it is the Client's responsibility to cancel and/close such
transaction. Otherwise, the Company has the right to close the transaction at the last available price of the
relevant Financial Instrument and/or Underlying Asset.
7.1. A Client who is a legal entity has the right to authorise a third party to give Instructions and/or Orders to us or to
handle any other matters related to this Agreement, provided that you have notified us in writing of exercising such
a right and that this person is approved by us fulfilling all of our specifications for this.
7.2. Unless we receive a written notification from you for the termination of the authorisation of the Authorised
Representative, we will continue accepting instructions and/or Orders given by this person on your behalf, and you
will recognise such orders as valid and committed to you.
7.3. The written notification for the termination of the authorisation to a third party has to be received by us with at
least 1 Business Day’s notice prior to the termination date.
7.4. The Company has the right (but NOT an obligation to the Client) to refuse to accept Orders and/or other instructions
relating to the Client Account from the Authorised Representative in any of the following cases:
(a) If the Company reasonably suspects that the Authorised Representative is not legally allowed or properly
authorised to act as such

for that relevant underlying asset only. It should be noted that certain underlying assets have specific trading time
frames, which can be found in the Specifications on the Website. The Client is responsible for looking on the
Website for further details prior to trading. The Client shall be notified of any Company holidays either through
the internal notification system or via other means that the Company may, from time to time, employ.
9. MARGIN REQUIREMENTS
9.1. In Order to open Positions and maintain Open Positions, the Client shall need to provide and maintain the Initial
Margin and/or Hedged Margin in such limits as the Company, at its sole discretion, may determine at any time
under the Contract Specifications for each type of CFD. Our Margin Requirements are set out on our Website under
the Contract Specifications. Margin requirements may not be called as such in the Trading Platform.
9.2. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that he/she understands how Margin requirements are calculated. The
Company has the right to change the Margin Requirements according to paragraph 29.5 herein below.
9.3. You agree to pay us on demand such sums by way of margin as are required from time to time under the Rules of
any relevant Market (if applicable) or as we may, at our discretion, reasonably require for the purpose of protecting
ourselves against loss or risk of loss on present, future or contemplated transactions under this Agreement.
9.4. We shall have the right, in addition to any other rights we may have under this Agreement, or under Cyprus law in
general, to close at market prices and/or limit the size of your Open Positions and to refuse to establish new Open
Positions in any of the following cases:
(a) The Company considers that there are abnormal trading conditions.
(b) The value of the Client’s margin falls below the minimum Margin requirement.
(c) At any time, Equity (current balance including open positions) is equal to or less than a specified percentage of

has the right to refuse new Orders. Stop Out level is available on the Website.

responsibility to monitor, at all times, the amount deposited in the Account against the amount of Maintenance
Margin required, and it is understood that the Company has the right to take the actions of this paragraph,
even if a Margin Call is not made under paragraph 9.6 below.
(h) When the Client is holding a position for CFD subject to expiry after the Company’s expiry date.
Page | 18
9.5. The margin close-out will apply to a trade if the 50% margin value is equal to or less than the amount of funds
involved in this trade of the initial margin required. This includes positions with a stop-loss order. Margin close-out
ensures a buffer of margin in normal market conditions and is not applicable under extreme market conditions.

Please refer to the example available in the Specifics of Trading

21.2. Any additional Company fees (such as withdrawal fees) appear under the “Payment methods” on our Website.
21.3. We may vary our Costs and Fees from time to time. We will notify you of any changes before they come into effect
by internal mail via our Online Trading System(s), by e-mail or by placing a notice on our website. The variation will
take effect from the date which we specify in our notification to you.
21.4. Taxes - It is agreed and understood that the Client shall be solely responsible for all filings, tax returns and reports
which should be made to any relevant authority, whether governmental or otherwise, and for payment of all taxes
(including but not limited to any transfer or value-added taxes), arising out of or in connection with his/her trading
activity with the Company. It is possible that other costs, including taxes, relating to transactions carried out on the
Online Trading System(s) may arise for which the Client is liable and which are neither paid via us nor imposed by
the Company.
22.1. The Company will promptly place any Client Money it receives into one or more segregated account(s) (denoted as
“clients’ accounts”) with reliable financial institutions within EEA, such as a credit institution or a bank in a third
country. It is understood that the Company may keep merchant accounts in its name with payment services
providers used to settle payment transactions of its Clients. However, for the avoidance of doubt, it is noted that
such merchant accounts are not used for safeguarding Client Money but only to effect settlements of payment
transactions. Client Money held in segregated bank account(s) may be exposed to obligations of the Company
connected with the positions of other Clients.
22.2. According to Applicable Laws and Regulations, the Company shall exercise due skill, care and diligence in the
selection and appointment and periodic review of the financial institution of paragraph 22.1 and the arrangements
for holding Client Money. The Company takes into account the expertise and market reputation of such institutions
with the view of ensuring the protection of Client’s rights, as well as any legal or regulatory requirements or market
practices related to holding Client Money that could adversely affect Client’s rights. The Company may use multiple
institutions to ensure diversification and allocate internal percentage limits for each such institution. The Company
Page | 27
will give instructions to the institutions(s) regarding the transfer and movement(s) of Clients’ money. Where you
have Open Position, we will offset any unrealised losses incurred against any of the Clients’ money held by the
Company in any account. This means that the Company may transfer any or part of any unrealised losses incurred
by you from the segregated account to an account(s) of the Company. Conversely, we may transfer any unrealised
profits incurred by you as a result of an open position from the Company’s account to the omnibus account.
22.3. According to Applicable Laws and Regulations, for the purposes of safeguarding Client Money, the Company shall:
(a) Keep such records and accounts as are necessary to distinguish Clients’ assets from its own and of other Clients’;
such records shall be accurate and correspond to the Client Money
(b) Conduct, on a regular basis, reconciliations between its internal accounts and records and those of any third
parties by whom those assets are held
(c) At all times, keep Client Money segregated from the Company’s own money
(d) Not use Client Money in the course of its own business
(e) Take the necessary steps to ensure that Client Money deposited with a financial institution (according to
paragraph 22.1) is held in an account(s) identified separately from any accounts used to hold funds of the
Company
(f) Introduce adequate organisational arrangements to minimize the risks of the loss or diminution of Client Money
as a result of misuse, fraud, poor administration, inadequate recordkeeping or negligence.
22.4. The Company has a duty to and shall exercise due skill, care and diligence in the selection of the financial institution
according to paragraph 22.2. However, it is understood that there are circumstances beyond the control of the
Company and hence the Company does not accept any liability or responsibility for any resulting losses to the Client
as a result of the insolvency or any other analogous proceedings or failure of the financial institution where Client
Money will be held.
22.5. The financial institution where Client Money will be held may be within or outside Cyprus or the EEA. It is
understood that the legal and regulatory regime applying to any such financial institution outside Cyprus or the
EEA will be different from that of Cyprus. Hence, in the event of the insolvency or any other equivalent failure or
preceding of that person, the Client’s money may be treated differently from the treatment which would apply if
the money was held in a Segregated Account in Cyprus.
22.6. The financial institution to which the Company will pass Client Money may hold it in a segregated account. Hence,
in the event of insolvency or any other analogous proceedings in relation to that financial institution, the Company
may only have an unsecured claim against the financial institution on behalf of the Client, and the Client will be
exposed to the risk that the money received by the Company from the financial institution is insufficient to satisfy
the claims of the Client.
22.7. It is understood that the Company may hold Client Money and the money of other clients in the same account
(omnibus account). In general, accounts held with financial institutions, including omnibus accounts, face various
risks. For instance, in the event of default, no single Client will have a claim against a specific sum in a specific
account in the event of insolvency or default of the institution. Only the Company has the right to claim against the
institution in the event of insolvency or default of the institution, including its bankruptcy. In the event of insolvency
or default of the Company, including its bankruptcy, no single Client will have a claim against the institution.
22.8. The Company is a member of the Investors Compensation Fund (ICF). To that end, depending on the classification,
the Client may be entitled to compensation from the ICF in the event that the Company is unable to meet its
obligations. More details are found in the Company’s document “Investor Compensation Fund” found on the
Website.
Page | 28
22.9. The Company shall not pay to the Client any interest earned on Client Money (other than profit gained through
trading Transactions from his/her Account(s) under this Agreement), and the Client waives all rights to interest.
22.10. Lien - The Company shall have a general lien on all funds held by the Company or its Associates or its nominees on
the Client’s behalf until the satisfaction of his/her obligations under this Agreement.
22.11. Netting and Set-Off - If the aggregate amount payable by the Client is equal to the aggregate amount payable by
the Company, then the mutual obligations to make payment are automatically offset and cancel each other.
22.12. If the aggregate amount payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount payable by the other party, then the
party with the larger aggregate amount shall pay the excess to the other party and all obligations to make payment
will be automatically satisfied and discharged.
23.2. If an Event of Default occurs, the Company may, at its absolute discretion, at any time and without prior Written
Notice, take one or more of the following actions:
(a) Terminate this Agreement immediately without prior notice to the Client.

(i) Block the IP address of the Client who sends massive requests on the server, which may cause delays in the
execution time.
24.1. Whenever we conduct currency conversions, we will do so at such a reasonable rate of exchange as we shall select.
We shall be entitled to charge and retain for our own account a markup on the exchange rates for arranging such
conversion as we may, from time to time, specify to you and publish on our Website.

language versions, the English language version shall prevail.
