7. Service Fees and Charges

• You agree to pay to us the following fees and charges (collectively, the "Fees"):

Withdrawal Fees

Please refer to the Company's withdrawal policy.

Dormant Account Fees

In the event that no Transaction has been executed through your Account for 30 consecutive days, we may charge your Account with Dormant Account Fees in the amount of 99 (ninety nine) USD/ GBP/ EUR per each such period. You hereby explicitly confirm and authorize us to charge your Account with the Dormant Account Fees, which shall be deducted automatically.

Event of Default Charges

We may charge you, debit your Account or otherwise be reimbursed by you for any costs and expenses which may apply to us pursuant to your Event of Default. An Event of Default shall mean any breach by you of these Terms, or you becoming in any way unable to pay your obligations (e.g. if you become insolvent or bankrupt, or a receiver, manager or administrator is appointed to you or any of your assets).

Overnight Fees

• A daily charge may apply to each Forex or CFDs open position at the closing of the Company's trading day (the "Overnight Fee"). If the Overnight Fee is applicable, it will be paid by the Client directly to the Company from the Clients' Trading Account Balance. The method of calculation of the Overnight Fee varies according to the type of FX/CFD to which it applies to. The Overnight Fee will be debited from the Client's account on the next trading day following the day to which it relates.
• The Company reserves the right to change the method of calculating the Overnight Fee, the financing rates and/or the types of FX/CFDs to which the Overnight Fee applies. For certain types of FX/CFDs, a commission is payable by Client to open and close FX/CFD positions. Such commission payable will be debited from Client's account at the same time as the Company opens or closes the relevant FX/CFD. Changes in our swap interest rates and calculations shall be at our own discretion and without notice. Clients need to always check information for the current rates charged. Information concerning the swap rates for each Financial Instrument is displayed on the Trading Platform. Rates may change quickly due to market conditions (changes in interest rates, volatility, liquidity etc.) and due to various risk related matters that are at the Company's sole discretion.
• Any open FX/CFD transaction held by a Client at the end of the trading day as determined by the Company or over the weekend, shall automatically be rolled over to the next business day so as to avoid an automatic close and physical settlement of the transaction. Client acknowledges that when rolling over such transactions to the next business day a premium may be subtracted from the Client's account with respect to such transaction.
• Information concerning the Overnight Fee rates will be visible to you upon pressing the right arrow dropdown option available near each transaction on the Trading Platform.
• If you are in a selling position you will find the Overnight Fee (percentage) listed under the "Sell Rollover" section of the dropdown. If you are in a buying position you will find the Overnight Fee (percentage) listed under the "Buy Rollover" section of the dropdown.
• On Wednesday around 00:00 GMT, the overnight fees are multiplied by three (x3) in order to compensate for the upcoming weekend.

Additional Fees and Expenses

We may charge you, debit your Account or otherwise be reimbursed by you for any costs and expenses which may apply to us by third parties in connection with your trading with us, including but not limited to any transaction charges, commissions, fees, Prices, premiums, settlement and clearing fees, legal expenses and taxes.

Fees in connection with Third Parties

• You acknowledge and agree that:
  • We may receive commissions and other benefits from third parties in relation to Transactions we enter into with you or on your behalf or in connection with other services provided to you. We are entitled to retain such commissions and benefits;
  • If you have been referred to us by or on behalf of a broker or other third party, that broker or third party may receive benefits in the form of a commission or rebate from us;
• You hereby explicitly agree and consent that any Fees which shall be payable by you shall be deducted from your Account without prior notice.

• All Transactions are entered into between you and us as principal. Transactions involve opening or the closing out of a CFD. You acknowledge that all Transactions are based upon a Price we quote and agreed to by you. You also understand that we are not required to enter into any Transaction with you. For the purposes of these Terms, a Transaction may also be referred to as a CFD hereinafter.
• Prices for such CFD transactions are quoted by the Company with a buy price and a sell price. The price quote given to you by us allows you to enter into the Transaction at the higher quoted price or to close out an existing CFD at the lower quoted price.

Long and Short Positions

When entering into a CFD in the expectation that the price of the Underlying Asset will increase, you go "long" and enter into a long position. When entering into a CFD in the expectation that the price of the Underlying Asset will decrease, you go "short" and enter into a short position. Generally, in a long position you will buy, and in a short position you will sell. Please see Appendix 1 to these Terms for examples of going long and short.

Before you enter into a Transaction, you are required to hold sufficient funds in your trading account including the Margins (as defined in Section 10 below).

Orders

To enter into a Transaction, you must choose one of the offers on the Website and request to open the relevant Transaction ("Order"). Any Order you insert shall be considered pending, not be binding on us until confirmed and executed by us, which may be immediate or may take some time, based on various factors, including technological setbacks and market conditions. Once an Order is accepted, the Transaction is final and irreversible, and can not be cancelled. We may reject any Order inserted by you, for any reason whatsoever, including if we believe there has been an error or a price manipulation of any sort.

Confirmations

After we execute your Order and open the subsequent Transaction, you will automatically receive from us a confirmation via the Company's online trading platform (the "Platform") or other electronic format (e.g. email). You must review any confirmation or statement immediately to ensure its accuracy and you must report any discrepancies to us as soon as reasonably practical. Confirmations are deemed to be conclusive and binding on you if not objected to by you in writing within 48 hours of the confirmation being made available to you.

You will not be able to enter into any new Transactions where the Underlying Asset is subject to a trading halt or suspension by the relevant market (or if the relevant index is suspended), or otherwise not being able to be traded.

Closing Out

Generally, CFDs do not have an expiry date. They remain open until they are closed in accordance with the terms of your Transaction. When you wish to close a CFD position, you enter into a CFD which is equal and opposite to the open CFD. To proceed in this manner, you must contact a Company representative via the Platform and we will determine the current market value (or level) of the Underlying Asset for the CFD, with the view to closing the CFD position (or part of it).

Upon receiving the quote of the current market value from us, you will have the opportunity to accept the value. Upon your decision to accept, the next step involves your instruction to us to close your open position in accordance with your instructions. The total closing value is then determined by multiplying the number of CFDs by the value of the CFD's Underlying Asset.

In the event the Underlying Asset has its own termination or expiry date, then the relevant CFD will terminate on or before the expiry of the Underlying Asset, unless earlier terminated by you or upon your instructions to rollover the CFD. For example, a CFD over a futures contract traded on an exchange usually has a fixed expiry date, and generally, prior to termination, the exchange will issue a notice of that expiry. It is your responsibility to monitor the notice dates and expiry dates of any Underlying Assets for your CFDs.

When you open a CFD, you may also have the option to pre-determine a close-out date based on the occurrence of certain events or market prices.

We shall have the right, in our sole discretion and without providing you any prior notice, to close out any open CFD immediately, at the occurrence of any of the following:

• Your breach of these Terms or of any of your obligations to us;
• Any Adjustment Event (see Section 12 below);
• We reasonably suspect any market manipulation or price manipulation has taken place;
• Any material error has occurred in relation to that CFD; or
• Any technical problem occurs, which requires the close out of the CFD.

Payment Rights upon Closing

On the day that the CFD is closed, we will calculate the remaining payment rights and obligations to reflect movements in the contract value as of the close of the previous business day (including other credits/debits).

Errors

In the event the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that a Transaction was affected by a substantial error or technical malfunction in any way (whether before or after the Transaction was opened), the Company may cancel, void and/or terminate the Transaction, in its sole discretion. The Company may take any such action even after the Transaction is closed and settled, thus reversing any payout already made to or from your account. You hereby acknowledge that such action may affect the balance in your account. In any such event, the Company shall provide notice to you explaining the error or malfunction and the actions taken by it.

8. Deposits, Withdrawals, Cancellations & Chargebacks

• Deposits. In order to initiate any Transaction, you must first maintain sufficient cleared funds into your Account by way of deposits to cover your desired transaction. You may deposit funds through the use of credit card payment, a bank transfer or a virtual currency transfer to the account provided by the Company. You understand and acknowledge that the payment methods accepted by the Company may change from time to time at our discretion. The Company, at its sole discretion, may require a minimum amount to deposit and may change the minimum from time to time.
• Withdrawals are subject to the Company's Withdrawal, Refund, and Cancellation Policy.
• All of your deposits and withdrawals shall be recorded under your Account.
• Cancellations are subject to the Company's Withdrawal, Refund, and Cancellation Policy.
• You understand and acknowledge that the Company cannot guarantee that your credit card provider or bank will accept the funds and it is your responsibility to ensure that the credit card company or bank that you wish to use will accept your funds.
• Chargebacks. You agree that you will not make or attempt to make any chargebacks, and/or deny or reverse any payment or deposits that you have made. You hereby agree that you will reimburse us for any chargebacks, denial or reversal of your payments or deposits and any loss suffered by us as a consequence of this. In any such event, we reserve the right to cease to provide the Services, terminate the Terms, withhold payments to you, and take any further action which we may see as appropriate.
• You also agree that the Company may, at any time, set off any amount owed by us to you against any amount owed by you to us and adjust your Account records to reflect any changes resulting from such set-offs.

10. Leverage and Margin

• CFDs are leveraged products, meaning that you are required to pay only a certain fraction of the total value of the contract in order to enter and maintain a CFD ("Margin"). This means that with a small amount of money you are able to control a larger amount, giving you a higher market exposure. You should be always aware that just as the leverage may work in your favor, magnifying your gains, it may also work against you, in similarly magnifying your losses. Since the CFDs are leveraged instruments, by trading them you are exposed to the risk of losing your entire investment.

• There are two types of Margin or "Margin cover" applicable to your Account:
  1. an "initial" margin, to enter into a CFD (the "Initial Margin"), which will typically be a percentage of the total value of the contract, to be determined by us;
  2. a "maintenance" margin, meaning a margin to maintain the Margin cover in light of adjustments to the percentage of value of the security allowed as Margin cover or other trading platform adjustments not related to the price movements of the financial products (a "Maintenance Margin").

• Margins must be held as long as a position is open, as further explained under Section 10. The minimum Margin will be set by us and can be changed at our sole discretion at any time according to the movement in the market, and represent a percentage of the total value of the CFD, and shall typically be between 0.25% and 50%, but may be as high as 100% of the CFD value. For example, if the value of a CFD is $220,000, the Margin might be $22,000, which represents 10% of the CFD value.
• The Margin cover is usually provided from available funds in your trading account. This means that you must hold sufficient funds in your trading account before you can open a position. Owing to the volatility of the market, the amount of required Margin cover may change after a position has been opened, requiring a Maintenance Margins to be paid by you at that time. The Margin requirement is calculated to cover the maximum expected movement in the market at any time.

• Please see Appendix 1 for trading examples and how the Margin requirements apply.

11. Margin Calls

• We may call in a request for you to deposit additional funds into your Account to meet Margin requirements and maintain your open position ("Margin Call").
• Upon receipt of a Margin Call, you may either reduce your position in order to reduce your Margin requirement or deposit additional funds into your account to increase the equity amount and satisfy the Margin Call.
• During the period commencing from the moment you receive a Margin Call, and until the completion of one of the two steps above, you will not be able to open new positions. In the event you do not comply with a Margin Call, we reserve the right to close out all or some positions in order to protect against exposure to further losses. Any losses resulting from Closing Out your positions will be debited to your trading account and you may be required to provide additional funds.
• It is important to note that we are under no obligation to send you a Margin Call, and that the obligation to pay the Maintenance Margins is upon you, and it incurs at the time of the occurrence of any movement in the market which results in an unrealised loss, regardless of whether a Margin Call is demanded.
• In the case where you choose to deposit additional funds to comply with a Margin Call, it is your responsibility to provide the payment in cleared funds on time, taking into account the processing time of the deposit.

12. Closing Out upon Adjustment Events

• Should any event which gives us the discretion to adjust to the terms of the CFD occur (each, an "Adjustment Event"), whether prior to or after you entered into a position relating thereto, we may, at our sole discretion:
  • Adjust any of the terms (including the price) of a CFD in accordance with this Section; or
  • If we determine (in our sole discretion) that it is not reasonably practicable to make such an adjustment, we may Close Out the CFD in accordance with these Terms.
• An Adjustment Event may be, for example, each of the following:
  • Any event which has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the market value of the Underlying Asset;
  • If the Underlying Asset is a derivative which is able to be traded on a market – any event in respect of which the operator of the market makes an adjustment to the terms of the Derivative.
  • If the Underlying Asset is a share, debenture, unit or other security (or depositary receipt of any kind in respect of such) – upon any consolidation, reclassification or sub-division, buy back, in specie distribution, takeover, scheme of arrangement or similar event or other corporate action event in respect of the security, whether or not the event triggers an adjustment to any exchange traded derivative of it;
  • A distribution to existing holders of additional shares or other securities or other financial products granting them the right to receive dividends or other proceeds equally and proportionately with payments made to holders of the underlying securities; or securities, rights or warrants granting the right to a distribution of shares or to purchase, subscribe, or receive shares, in any case for payment (in money cash or money's worth) at less than the prevailing market price per share as determined by us; or
  • If the Underlying Asset is an index, a substantial adjustment to the composition of the index outside its own terms allowing for adjustments or weightings; a failure to publish the index or a suspension or cancellation of the index.

Adjustment of CFDs

• Following our determination that an Adjustment Event has occurred, we will determine the adjustment, if any, which should be made in the CFD in order to place the parties in substantially the same economic position they would have been in had the event not occurred.
• We will notify you as soon as practicable of the adjustment, which will be deemed to be conclusive and binding on you.

Closing Out CFDs

• If at any time after the occurrence of an Adjustment Event we determine (in our sole discretion) that it is not reasonably practicable to make an adjustment in accordance this Section, we may at any time after the Adjustment Event close out the Transaction.
• If the Underlying Asset is subject to a take-over offer or similar event, we may at any time prior to the closing date of such offer, close out the CFD at our sole discretion.
• If the issuer whose security represents the Underlying Asset on which all or part of a CFD is based becomes externally administered, the CFD will be taken to have been closed out at that time. The closing price of the CFD will be determined by us in good faith, considering a number of factors we deems appropriate including, for example, the last traded price of the Underlying Asset.
• If the Underlying Asset on which the CFD is based becomes subject to a trade halt or suspension under the rules of the relevant market, or ceases to be listed for quotation on a market for 2 consecutive Business Days, we may, in our absolute discretion, close out all relevant CFDs.

• Prior to the adjustment or closing out of a CFD under this Section 11, we might give you notice of our intention to do so, including the terms of such adjustment or closing out. Provided, however, that should we determine, at our sole discretion, that it is not reasonably practicable to give you such notice prior to the adjustment or closing out of a CFD, we may do so as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, which shall not affect the terms and the time on which the adjustment or closing out of the CFD has taken place. Any such notice shall be provided to you via the Platform and/or by email.
