    2. In relation to any Transaction, we act on a principal-to-principal or agency basis on your behalf. This means that, unless otherwise agreed, we will treat you as our client for all purposes. It also means that, unless otherwise agreed, you will be directly and fully responsible for performing the obligations under each Transaction you make. If you act in relation to or on behalf of another person, we will not accept that person as an indirect client of ours and will accept no obligation to that person, unless otherwise specifically agreed.

      b) The information may contain a restriction on the person or category of persons for whom that document is intended or to whom it is distributed. You agree to not pass it on to any other person; and
      c) We make no representation, warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy of completeness of such information or to the tax consequences of any Transaction.

We will assume that the information you provide to us about your knowledge and experience is accurate. Therefore, we will have no responsibility to you if such information is incomplete, misleading, changes, or becomes inaccurate. This is the case unless you have informed us of any changes in the information you have previously provided to us.

    19. Under such circumstances mentioned above, we will be entitled to withdraw any profits and charge any costs which we deem, in our sole discretion, to have been inappropriately gained by you. We will not be liable for:

    2. If there is a potential conflict of interest involving you or any of our clients, we will manage the conflict in accordance with our Conflicts Policy which can be found on our Website or is available on request.

This soft commission arrangement permits us (or another member of our group) to receive goods or services in return for transacting investment business with such persons.

    5. It is our policy in relation to these agreements to ensure that such arrangements operate in your best interest. For example, because the arrangements allow access to information or other benefits which would not otherwise be available.

  8. PAYMENT, CURRENCY CONVERSION AND SET-OFF

    2.

      b) An excess of the aggregate amount payable by us to you. In this case, we may set-off any mutual obligations in respect of payments owed to us by you or payments owed to you by us and claim the difference owed to us by you.

    11. In the event you have multiple Trading Accounts with us, we may discharge any amounts due to it under one Trading Account. We can do so by transferring funds from the Balance of any other trading Account you hold with us.

    12. As a result of this transfer, you may suffer losses due to margin calls, triggered Stop Outs, and the Trading Account may go into a negative Balance. If this occurs, we will not be liable other than where a negative balance protection exists under Applicable Regulation.

    1. If you have been notified in advance by the Trading Platform or some other way of routine construction on the server, complaints made in regard to any unexecuted Instructions which are given during such a construction period are not accepted. The fact that you have not received a notice will not constitute a reason to lodge a complaint.

    2. Complaints in regard to a Transaction or Order execution based on the difference in the prices for the Contract for Difference in the Trading Platform and for the underlying asset of the Contract for Difference are not accepted.

    3. Complaints in regard to time of Order execution, notwithstanding the amount of time a dealer needed to execute the Order, as well as the time when the server log recorded Order execution, are not accepted unless the Order placed in the queue has not been executed.

    4. No Client complaints will be accepted in regard to the financial results of the deals made using temporary excess margin on the Trading Account gained as a result of a profitable Position (cancelled by us afterwards) opened at an error Quote (spike) or at a Quote received as a result of a manifest error.

    6. You acknowledge that you will not be able to manage the Position or other Open Positions or give Instructions to open new Positions while the Dispute in regard to the disputed Position is being considered. You also acknowledge that no complaints in regard to that matter are accepted.

    7. You acknowledge that we will not notify you that the Dispute has been resolved and the Position has been reopened. You will be responsible for all the risks in this respect.

    8. Once the Dispute has been resolved, we have the right to trigger the Stop Loss or Take Profit in the chronological order in which they would have been triggered if the Position had stayed open.

    9. We have the right to void any Transaction if the corresponding hedge trade has been cancelled by a liquidity provider.

  4. THE PROCEDURE FOR DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    1. If any conflict situation arises when you reasonably believe that we, as a result of any action or failure to act, have breached one or more of the terms of the Operative Agreements, you have the right to lodge a complaint with us within five (5) working days after the occurrence of the event (the “Dispute Date”).

    2. We reserve the right to independently launch an inquiry or to resolve a dispute in accordance with these Terms of Business.

However, in some cases, this period may be extended.

    3. To file any complaint, you will fill in the Complaint form in the Client Dashboard. The complaint will include:
      a) your name and surname (or company name if you are a legal entity);
      b) your login in the trading platform;
      c) details of when the conflict first arose (e.g., date and time in the trading platform time zone);
      d) ticket of the Position and/or Pending Order; and
      e) a description of the disputed situation with references to the appropriate clause(s) of these Terms of Business which you believe to have been breached.

    4. We have the right to dismiss a complaint in the event it does not comply with the requirements set out above.

    8. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, and without prior warning, to block the Orders to a trading account sent by an expert advisor.

    9. The server log‐file is the most reliable source of information in case of any Dispute. The Server Log‐File has absolute priority over other arguments, including the Client Dashboard Log‐File as the Client Dashboard Log‐File does not register every stage of the execution of your Instructions and Requests.

    10. If the server log‐file has not recorded the relevant information to which you refer, the argument based on this reference may not be considered.

    11. We have the right to choose the method of Dispute resolution at its sole discretion.

APPENDIX 1: REGULATIONS ON TRADING FIXED CONTRACTS

  1. INTRODUCTION

    1. The "Fix-Contracts" service is an online trading facility enabling Clients to trade Fix Contracts on underlying assets including currency pairs, spot metals, and other financial instruments ("Service").

  2. SPECIFIC TERMS

    1. Subject to the Client’s compliance with the obligations set forth in these Regulations, the Company shall provide the Client with the ability to execute transactions using the Service.

    2. All conditions governing the Client’s trading and non-trading operations, including the principles for execution of client orders and requests within the scope of each type of Fix-Contract, are defined in the Operative Agreements or detailed on the Trading Platform or Website.

    3. A trading operation conducted by the Client constitutes the purchase of a Fix-Contract based on one of the underlying assets offered by the Company. This Fix-Contract grants the Client the right to buy or sell the Fix-Contract at a predetermined price upon the expiration of a specified time period.

    4. The closing price of a Client’s trading operation shall be determined at the time of expiration of the corresponding Fix-Contract. If the price of the Fix-Contract remains unchanged at expiration, the Fix-Contract will expire at the prevailing price.

    5. The Client acknowledges and understands that the prices quoted within the Service, referred to as the Open rate or Close rate, represent the prices at which the Company is willing to buy or sell Fix-Contracts. These prices may not necessarily reflect the market price of the underlying asset or include any commissions or fees associated with the purchase or sale of Fix-Contracts.

    6. All quotes provided to the Client through the Service are indicative and represent the best available prices sourced from the Company’s liquidity providers.

    7. Payout amounts displayed for any given Instrument on the Trading Platform are not fixed and may be adjusted based on prevailing market conditions. The Company retains sole discretion over the timing, duration, and magnitude of any such changes.

    8. The Company does not provide for physical delivery of any underlying asset upon settlement of trading operations. All profits and losses will be credited to or debited from the Client’s trading account in the currency in which the account is denominated, at the time the position is closed.

    9. The Client acknowledges that if the outcome of the Fix-Contract at expiration does not align with the Client’s forecast, the Client may lose the entire amount invested in the trade.

    10. The Company reserves the right to cancel any Client transaction executed at a price resulting from human and/or system error, regardless of whether the transaction was executed under the Company’s control.

    11. The Client agrees that the Company may, at its sole discretion and at any time, limit, suspend, or terminate the provision of the Service to the Client without prior notice.
