  5. Quotes and Pricing
    5.1 Upon your request and in accordance with this clause we will quote a higher and lower figure for each Transaction (“our Bid and Ask prices”). Subject to clause 6.10, these figures will be either effectively based on comparable Bid and Ask prices in the Underlying Market or they will be our own Bid and Ask prices.
    5.2 You acknowledge that our Spreads can widen significantly in certain circumstances and that they may not necessarily be the same size as the examples given in the Contract Details or on the Website and that there is no limit on how large they may be.
    5.3 You acknowledge that when a Transaction is Closed Out, the Spread may be wider or smaller than the Spread when the Transaction was opened. You acknowledge that such figures will be set by us in our reasonable discretion. The Spread quoted by us will reflect our view of prevailing market conditions.
    5.4 You acknowledge that our Quotes for dealing in our Financial Products are indicative only and so, are subject to the actual Quote at the time of execution of your Transaction. There is no assurance that the Contracts will actually be dealt with at the indicative Quote, especially if you delay placing the Order.
    5.5 Quotes can only be given, and Transactions made during the open market hours of the relevant Exchange or market on which the Underlying Instruments are traded. The open hours of the relevant Exchanges are available by viewing the relevant Exchange website or by contacting us.
    5.6 We may at any time in our discretion without prior notice impose limits on our Financial Products in respect of particular Underlying Instruments. Ordinarily, we would only do this if the market for theparticular Underlying Instrument has become illiquid or its trading status has been suspended or there is some significant disruption to the markets, including the Electronic Trading Services.
    5.7 You should be aware that the market prices and other market data which you view through the Electronic Trading or other facilities which you arrange yourself may not be current or may not exactly correspond with the prices for our Financial Products offered or dealt by us.
    5.8 If you access your Accounts and the Electronic Trading Services outside of the hours when Orders may be accepted, you should be aware that the Orders may be processed at a later time when the relevant Exchange or market is open to trading, by which time the market prices (and currency exchange values) might have changed significantly.
    5.9 We may notify you of certain Financial Products in respect of which we will not provide a Quote, restrictions on the amount for which we will price, or other conditions that may apply to our Quote, but any such notification (or failure to notify) will not be binding on us.
    5.10 If we choose to provide a Quote, we may provide it either verbally, by telephone or electronically via our Electronic Trading Services or by such other means as we may from time to time notify to you.
    5.11 Our provision of a Quote (whether by telephone, Electronic Trading Service, or otherwise) does not constitute an offer for you to open or Close Out a Transaction at those levels.
    5.12 You can only enter into a Transaction at the Quote provide by us (including through the Electronic Trading Service). We may, acting reasonably, accept or reject your Order at any time until the Transaction has been executed or we have acknowledged that your Order has been withdrawn.
  6. Orders

    6.3. You do not have a contract with us unless and until the moment your Order is actually executed. This will be shown on your Account.
    6.4. If we become aware that any of the factors set out in clause 6.5 (but we are not limited to only these factors) are not satisfied at the time you place an Order (in our reasonable opinion), we reserve the right to reject your Order. If we have already opened or Closed Out a Transaction prior to becoming aware that a factor set out in clause 6.5 has not been satisfied (in our reasonable opinion) we may, in our absolute discretion, either treat such a Transaction as void from the outset or Close Out the Transaction at the prevailing price or take any other steps that we consider necessary (as determined by us).
    6.5. The factors referred to in clause 6.4 include, but are not limited to, the following:
    a) the Quote must be obtained from us;
    b) the Quote must not be expressed as being given on an “indicative only” or similar basis; c) if you obtain the Quote by telephone:
    i) it must be given by a representative of Finotive Markets;
    ii) your Order must be given during the same telephone conversation in which you obtained the Quote; and
    iii) the Finotive Markets’ representative must have confirmed that the Order has been accepted by us;
    d) if you obtain the Quote electronically via our Electronic Trading Services, your Order and our acceptance of it, must be given while the Quote is still valid;e) the Quote must not be a Manifest Error;
    f) when you place an Order, the number of shares, contracts or other units in respect of which the Transaction is to be opened must be neither smaller than the Minimum Size nor larger than the Normal Market Size;
    g) when you offer to Close Out part but not all of a Transaction, both the part of the Transaction that you offer to Close Out and the part that would remain open (subject to our acceptance of the Order) must not be smaller than the Minimum Size;
    h) a Force Majeure Event must not have occurred;
    i) when you offer to open a Transaction an Event of Default must not have occurred, nor must you have acted in such a way as to trigger an Event of Default;
    j) the telephone or Electronic Conversation in which you place an Order must not be terminated before we have received and accepted your Order;
    k) when you offer to open or Close Out any Transaction, the opening of the Transaction must not result in you exceeding any credit or other limit placed on your dealings with us.
    6.6. We may refuse to accept an Order (including but not limited to any Order that relates to black-box trading, scalping or any similar trading practices) and we may place a limit on any Order or place other conditions on the receipt of instructions or Orders, in our absolute discretion and for any reason.
    6.7. We may at any time use, add and change filters within an Electronic Trading Service which prevent delivery of Orders or execution of Orders. We will notify you of any refusal or limitation as soon as reasonably practicable, unless we are prevented by law or a direction from a regulatory authority from notifying you.
    6.8. We may cancel or amend an Order:
    a) if required by Governing Legislation to do so;
    b) in the event of an error (including a Manifest Error);
    c) if we consider the cancellation or amendment appropriate, having regard to the desirability to maintain a fair and orderly market; or
    d) if the Underlying Instrument, the subject of the Transaction has been subject to a trading halt on an Exchange, and you have not reconfirmed instructions.
    6.9. We reserve the right to refuse an Order which is larger than the Normal Market Size. Our Quote for a Transaction equal to or greater than Normal Market Size is not guaranteed to be within any specific percentage of any Underlying Market or related market quotation and our acceptance of your Order may be subject to special conditions and requirements that we will notify you at the time we accept your Order. We will inform you of the Normal Market Size for a particular Transaction if requested by you.
    6.10. Where an Underlying Instrument trades on multiple Underlying Markets, you agree that we may but are not required to base our Quote on the aggregate prices in the Underlying Markets for the Underlying Instrument.
    6.11. We will make reasonable efforts to affect any instructions to cancel or amend Orders as quickly as possible. If, however, an Order is filled prior to a cancellation or amendment instruction being affected, you are obliged to accept the Transaction on the original terms prior to your amendment or cancellation instruction, unless the Transaction is itself cancelled or amended.
    6.12. You acknowledge that we do not operate any discretionary accounts and we will, unless otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, only act on your instructions.
    6.13. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all Orders will remain open until either cancelled by you or purged by the Electronic Trading Service. We do not accept responsibility for reinstating lapsed Orders or for contacting you to seek new instructions.6.14.

    b) insider trading;
    c) short selling;
    d) creating a disorderly market or otherwise prejudicing the integrity or efficiency of the market; or e) misleading or deceptive conduct

    7.3. We are not under any obligation to account to you for any profit, commission or remuneration made or received from or by reason of Transactions or circumstances in which we have a material interest or where in particular circumstances a conflict of interest may exist.

    8.2. Before you enter into a Transaction, you are required to have sufficient Account Value to satisfy the Initial Margin requirements for the relevant number of contracts.

    8.3. You will open a Transaction by “buying” or “selling”. In this Agreement a Transaction that is opened by “buying” is referred to as a “Buy Transaction” and may also, in our dealings with you, be referred to as “long” or “long position”. A Transaction that is opened by “selling” is referred to as a “Sell Transaction” and may also, in our dealings with you, be referred to as “short” or “short position”.
    8.4. When you open a Buy Transaction, the Opening Level will be the higher price quoted by us for the Transaction and when you open a Sell Transaction, the Opening Level will be the lower price quoted by us for the Transaction.
    8.5. A Transaction must always be made for a specified number of the Underlying Instrument.
    8.6. Subject to any other provision in this Agreement, each Transaction opened by you 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.
  9. Closing a Transaction
    Transactions with no Expiry Date
    9.1. Subject to any other provision in this Agreement and any requirement we may specify in relation to Linked Transactions, you may Close Out an Open Position or any part of such Open Position at any time.
    9.2. When you Close Out an Open Position, the Closing Level will be, if you are Closing Out an Undated Buy Transaction, the lower figure then quoted by us and, if you are Closing Out an Undated Sell Transaction, the higher figure then quoted by us.
    9.3. At any time, you may give Finotive Markets notice of your intention to Close Out any Transaction (whether in whole or part) by specifying the Underlying Instrument and the quantity that you wish to close. This must be done by you placing an Order which, if accepted, would Close Out the Undated Transaction that you wish to close.
    9.4. Upon receipt of notice of intent to Close Out an Undated Transaction (by way of receiving your Order), Finotive Markets will use reasonable endeavours to provide the Closing Level (by way of indicating prices to Close Out your Open Positions) and notify you of that quote (by the Electronic Trading Service or otherwise). It is your obligation to notify Finotive Markets as soon as possible as to whether you are willing to accept the Closing Level. If you accept the Closing Level quoted by Finotive Markets, the Undated Transaction, or relevant portion of the Undated Transaction, will be Closed Out by issuing you with a Contract which is equal but opposite to the open Contract, or relevant portion of the Contract, to be Closed Out.
    9.5. If the Underlying Instrument for the Contract is on terms that provide for its redemption, exchange or termination and you do not give notice to Finotive Markets of your intention to Close out the Contract or to roll it over on terms and by the time acceptable to Finotive Markets (whether or not you have any prior notice of that), you will be deemed to have given notice to Finotive Markets to Close Out that Contract at the Closing Level reasonably determined by Finotive Markets. In this case, Finotive Markets will Close Out the Contract as at the time it determines.
    9.6. At the Close Out, if there is a difference between the Closing Value and the Contract Value of the Contract it must be accounted for in the following way:
    a) if the Closing Value is greater than the Contract Value, the Short Party must pay to the Long Party the difference; and
    b) if the Closing Value is less than the Contract Value, the Long Party must pay to the Short Party the difference.
    Transactions with an Expiry Date
    9.7. Subject to this Agreement and any requirement we may specify in relation to Linked Transactions, you may Close Out an open Expiry Transaction or any part of such open Expiry Transaction at any time prior to the Last Dealing Time for that Transaction.
    9.8. Details of the applicable Last Dealing Time for each Expiry Transaction will normally be available in your Account or may be obtained from us upon your request. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the Last Dealing Time or, as the case may be, the expiry time for a particular Expiry Transaction.
    9.9. When you Close Out an Expiry Transaction prior to the Last Dealing Time for the Expiry Transaction, the Closing Level will, if the Expiry Transaction is a Buy Transaction, be the lower figure then quoted by us and if the Expiry Transaction is a Sell Transaction, the higher figure then quoted by us.
    9.10. If you do not Close Out an Expiry Transaction in respect of an Underlying Instrument on or before the Last Dealing Time then, subject to clause 9.15, we will Close Out your Expiry Transaction as soon as we have ascertained the Closing Level of the Expiry Transaction. The Closing Level of the Expiry Transaction will be:
    a) the last traded price at or prior to the close or the applicable official closing quotation or settlement price in the relevant Underlying Market as reported by the relevant Exchange plus or, as the case may be, minus;
    b) any Spread that we apply when such an Expiry Transaction is Closed Out. Details of the Spread that we apply when a particular Expiry Transaction is Closed Out will be set out in your Account.
    9.11. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the Last Dealing Time and of any Spread or commission that we may apply when an Expiry Transaction is Closed Out.
    9.12. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the next applicable contract period for an Expiry Transaction and that effecting the rollover of an Expiry Transaction may result in you incurring losses on your Account.
    9.13. Any agreement as to rolling over an Expiry Transaction or any other Transaction is entirely at our discretion and we reserve the right to refuse to rollover an Expiry Transaction or any other Transaction, despite any instruction you have given us, if we determine, acting reasonably, that to affect a rollover would result in you exceeding any credit or other limit placed on your dealings with us.
    9.14. Where we do affect a rollover of an Expiry Transaction or any other Transaction, the original Expiry Transaction will be Closed Out at or just prior to the Last Dealing Time and become due for settlement and a new Expiry Transaction will be created; such closing and opening terms will be on our terms.
    9.15. Where an Expiry Transaction is in excess of four (4) times the Normal Market Size, or where any number of such Expiry Transactions are together in excess of (4) times the Normal Market Size, and where such Expiry Transaction(s) has not already been Closed Out prior to the Last Dealing Time, we reserve the right to automatically roll over the Expiry Transaction(s) to the next contract period where we reasonably believe it is in your best interests or the best interests of our Clients as a whole to do so.
    9.16. If we choose to roll over your Transaction(s), we will generally try to contact you before the Last Dealing Time, but for the avoidance of doubt we may roll your Expiry Transaction(s) even if we have not contacted you and we will not be liable whatsoever for not contacting you.
    9.17. If a Transaction is Closed Out, or settlement for difference being made: a) we will credit to your Account any amount payable by us to you; or
    b) you must pay to us any amount payable by you to us in cleared funds in any such currency that we may require immediately upon the payment request being made.
    9.18. If there is any surplus Margin in your Account, any amount owing by you in accordance with this will be settled in whole or in part by debiting your Account with us.
    9.19. When you Close Out a Transaction, you must pay us any commission, fees and other charges as disclosed in, the Electronic Trading Service or the Website.
    9.20. Unless we agree otherwise, all sums payable by you pursuant to this clause are due immediately upon the Closing Level of your Transaction being determined by us.

    11.2. If, in our discretion, we choose to amend the terms of any such Transaction or Open Position due to a Manifest Error, the amended terms will be such level as we reasonably believe would have been fair at the time the Transaction was entered into had the Manifest Error not occurred.

In deciding whether an error is a Manifest Error we will act reasonably, and we may (but not obliged to) take into account any relevant factors including, without limitation, the state of the Underlying Market at the time of the Manifest Error or any error in, or lack of clarity of, any information source or pronouncement upon which we base our quoted prices. Any financial commitment that you have entered into or refrained from entering into in reliance on a Transaction with us will not be taken into account in deciding whether or not there has been a Manifest Error.
    11.4. In the absence of our fraud, wilful default or negligence, we will not be liable to you for any Loss, cost, claim, demand or expense following a determination of a Manifest Error (including where the Manifest Error is made by any information source, commentator or official on whom we reasonably rely) or any action (or omission) taken (or omitted) by as a result.
    11.5. If a Manifest Error has occurred and we choose to exercise any of our rights under this clause or any other provision in this Agreement, and if you have received any monies from us in connection with the Manifest Error, you agree that those monies are due and payable to us on our written demand and you agree to return an equal sum of those monies to us within the period stated in our written demand.
    11.6. If a Transaction or Open Position is based on a Manifest Error, we may (in addition to our other rights) without your consent do any or all of the following
    a) amend the terms of a Transaction to reflect what we consider to have been the fair terms at the time the Transaction had been entered into had there been no Manifest Error;b) Close Out the Transaction and any Open Positions resulting from it; c) adjust or suspend your Account;

    e) refrain from taking action to amend or void the Transaction; or
    f) any other action that we believe is appropriate in the circumstances.
    11.7. We will exercise our rights under this clause reasonably, in good faith and as soon as reasonably practical after we become aware of the Manifest Error.

    13.2 You owe us, and must pay to us or as we direct:
    a) any Transaction charges including all commission, Finance Charge, charges, fees, Margins, premia, settlement and clearing fees and charges, interest, default charges and taxes (including GST but excluding Finotive Markets’ income tax or penalty tax and levies) and any other amounts due under this Agreement on demand by Finotive Markets in cleared funds or otherwise as required by this Agreement;
    b) a Transaction Fee for each Financial Product or Transaction (as the case may be) being the fee from time to time specified by Finotive Markets to be the amount payable by you to Finotive Markets in respect of each such Transaction;
    c) any royalty or other fee which must be paid for the use of prices or information provided to you via access through the Electronic Trading Service or otherwise by any Exchange;d) (if applicable) a monthly access charge for the use of the Electronic Trading Service provided by Finotive Markets, as specified by Finotive Markets from time to time;
    e) any fees, Taxes, stamp duty or other charges as may from time to time be levied on or in connection with any Transactions entered into with you; and
    f) in respect of any unpaid amounts required to be paid under this Agreement including, (without limitation) any amounts due as a result of your failure to pay interest on all such amounts denominated in Dollars at the interest rate per annum as reasonably determined by Finotive Markets (but so that the total rate does not exceed generally prevailing rates for personal unsecured loans in comparable amounts), such interest to accrue daily from and including the due date to and including the date of its payment in full.
    13.1. You authorise us to deduct on any of the fees described in clause 13: a) from your Account;
    b) from the CMA and pay ourselves the amount of any Transaction Fee, Realised/Unrealised Losses on your Account, any other fees or charges described in clause 13, (including but not limited to credit card fees) you owe and the amount of Margin which you must pay to maintain the required Margin Cover.
    13.2. All payments by you under this Agreement are:
    a) to be made without any set-off by you, counter claim or condition made by you and without you making any deduction or withholding for any Tax or any other reason unless the deduction or withholding is required by applicable law or the set-off arises by express application of this Agreement; and
    b) payable in any currency that we may reasonably require or determine.
    13.3. We agree to pay you any Finance Credit applicable to a Transaction, from time to time.
  14. Client Money Account
    You acknowledge and agree that Finotive Markets will deal with your moneys in accordance with the Client Money Regulations, including the below:
    14.1. You acknowledge and authorise that your moneys and the moneys of other Clients of Finotive Markets will be combined and held by Finotive Markets in a set of client money accounts, separate from the moneys of Finotive Markets.
    14.2. You agree that Finotive Markets is entitled to all interest earned on moneys credited to any client money account unless otherwise agreed in writing.
    14.3. You authorise Finotive Markets to withdraw any or all moneys to which you are otherwise entitled in any client money account maintained by Finotive Markets to meet any liability, obligation or other Loss which you owe to Finotive Markets including to pay for your Financial Products, an amount in respect of any Realised/Unrealised Loss on your Account, Margin, Margin Cover or Variation Margin).
    14.4. When you pay moneys to Finotive Markets in connection to a Transaction, you are also authorising us for those moneys to be paid into a client money account and those moneys will remain in there until withdrawn by Finotive Markets to pay you amounts you are entitled to receive or to pay for amounts to which Finotive Markets is entitled including to pay for your Financial Products (including, without limitation an amount in respect of any Realised/Unrealised Loss on your Account). If there has been a Realised/Unrealised Loss on your Account, Finotive Markets is authorised under this Agreement to withdraw the equivalent amount of that Realised/Unrealised Loss from the client money account to pay Finotive Markets an amount to which Finotive Markets is entitled. You acknowledge that from the time any funds withdrawn from the client money accounts in connection with your Transactions:
    a) you lose the protections given to a client money account of that kind;
    14.5. If you pay moneys into any client money account maintained by us in anticipation of you creating and meeting any liability, obligation or other loss which you will owe to us including to pay for your FinancialProducts (including payment for Margin), by this Agreement you authorise us to withdraw those moneys to pay us for any liability which later arises.
    14.6. If there has been no movement on your Account after the date you become entitled to a transfer of your money held in such Account (notwithstanding any payments or receipts of interest or similar items) and we are unable to locate you despite having taken reasonable steps to do so, such money will be treated by us as unclaimed money and dealt with in accordance with the relevant laws.
    14.7. You acknowledge that we will be under no obligation to pay interest on balances on your Account (and any fees we may take from such interest) and that you are therefore waiving and foregoing any entitlement to interest (and fees if any) under the Governing Legislation or otherwise.
    14.8. We retain all additional interest earned on client money held in client money accounts, or other approved deposit- taking institution
    14.9. All moneys to which you are entitled under this Agreement will be paid to you directly to the bank account nominated by you in your Application Form to us (and not to any third party or third-party bank account), unless otherwise agreed in writing by us.
    14.10. You acknowledge and agree that if there has been a Realised/Unrealised Profit on your Account, we will pay into and hold sufficient funds in the client money account to reflect the Realised/Unrealised Profit so that those funds will be retained there for your benefit until dealt with in accordance with this Agreement.
    14.11. Some of our payment methods involve the use of third-party payment service providers (‘PSPs’). When a deposit is made using a PSP who then credits Finotive Markets’ account with the PSP, Finotive Markets will make a corresponding credit to the client’s trading account. In the ordinary course of business this will happen on the same business day or the next business day. The timing depends on the client providing all required details, and the time PSP credits the relevant client payment to Finotive Markets’ account with the PSP (this does not mean receipt of funds by Finotive Markets) which is subject to processing time by the PSP and differences in time zones.
    The client’s payment to the PSP is not always an automatic payment to Finotive Markets. Payment to the PSP is at the client’s risk. The PSP must then credit Finotive Markets’ account, which Finotive Markets does not control.
    14.12. You acknowledge and agree that some payments may be processed by other entities of the group of Finotive Markets through service level agreements.
    14.13. If Finotive Markets becomes insolvent, you will be paid for any net credit balance in your Account:
    a) Any of your client moneys in the client money accounts should be paid to you, after deduction for any amounts properly payable to Finotive Markets for the CFDs or which you have otherwise agreed are payable to Finotive Markets (and subject to any court orders to the contrary).
    b) Finotive Markets would review whether it can and should pursue recovery action against any of its Hedge Counterparties for any claim against them.
    c) The precise amounts and timing of payments will not be known until the net position with the Hedge Counterparties are known.
    d) The position of the Hedge Counterparties depends on what it recovers from its Hedge Counterparties and what it owes its clients.
    e) Finotive Markets will need to assess the amounts prudently available to pay CFD Clients and may choose to pay out interim amounts.
    f) Finotive Markets will need to assess fair and reasonable allocation to CFD Clients, having regard to, for example amounts paid from the client money accounts, Account balances and amounts recovered from a Hedge Counterparty.
  15. Margin15.1. Upon opening a Transaction, you will be required to pay us the Initial Margin for that Transaction, as calculated by us.
    15.2. You acknowledge that the Initial Margin for certain Transactions (for example, Share CFDs) will be based on a percentage of the Contract Value of the Transaction and therefore, the Initial Margin due for such Transactions will fluctuate in accordance with the Contract Value.
    15.3. Initial Margin is due and payable to us before you enter into a Transaction (and for Transactions that have a fluctuating Initial Margin based on a percentage of the Contract Value, immediately on opening the Transaction and thereafter immediately on any increase in Contract Value taking place).
    15.4. You agree that for different Financial Products there will be different Margin requirements and they may be displayed on the Website. The Margin requirements are subject to change without notice to you so you should make yourself aware of the Margin requirements.
    15.5 You also agree that you have a continuing Margin obligation to us to ensure that at all times during which you have open Transactions you have Margin Cover in your Account and that it is positive at all times.
    15.6 You must maintain at least the amount of Margin Cover required by us whether or not we give any notice to you to make those payments, or you have actual notice of the required amount. The required amount of Margin Cover can change continuously and can change automatically, including over the weekend or other non-trading days. Your obligation to maintain at least the required amount of Margin Cover is continuous.
    15.7 It is solely your responsibility to monitor and to satisfy all Margin Cover requirements.
    15.8 You are required to maintain the Margin Cover, which might mean you must pay more Margin, whether or not we give you a Margin call and even if you are not contactable.
    15.9 A Margin payment is credited by Finotive Markets at the time that cleared funds have been received into the CMA and we have applied the payment to your Account or such other time as allowed by us, so a Margin Cover requirement for a Contract or other Transaction issued by us is not satisfied unless and until your payment is received in cleared funds into the CMA and applied to your Account by us.
    15.10 Your liability in respect of Margin requirements is not limited to your payment of Initial Margin or Variation Margin. You are responsible to pay any deficit owing to us after Close Out of a Transaction and if you default in payment of such deficit, we may pay the deficit out of the Account or realise any Financial Products held by us and apply the amounts or proceeds against that deficit and you are responsible for the full and prompt discharge of the deficit (which exceeds the value of the Account) by making payment in full to us immediately when that deficit arises.
    15.11 Finotive Markets may (without notice to you) Close Out, but will not be obliged to Close Out or to attempt to Close Out, some or all Open Positions, at that time or any later time as we determine (whether in our discretion or by automatic trading platform management) if:
    a) your Account Value falls below the Liquidation Level; or b) you fail to maintain the required Margin Cover; or
    c) at any time, and from time to time, Finotive Markets determines that the value of all of your Open Positions (and not taking into account any cash balance in your Account) represents a substantial net unrealised loss to you such that, in our belief, the continued trading, or failure to Close Out, one or more of your Open Positions will or is likely to materially prejudice your Account Value.
    15.12 Details of Margin amounts paid and owing by you are available by logging onto your Account.
    15.13 Margin payments must be made in the form of cleared funds (paid into the nominated account of Finotive Markets.
    15.14 We are not under any obligation to keep you informed of your Account balance or Margin Cover requirements or to make Margin calls.
    15.15 If we do (in our reasonable discretion) make Margin calls on you:a) we may do so by telephone call, post, fax, email or text message;
    b) the Margin call will be deemed to have been made as soon as you are deemed to have received such notice in accordance with clause 18.9 of this Agreement;
    c) we will also be deemed to have made a demand on you by telephone if we have left a message requesting you to contact us and you have not done so within the time specified in our message;
    d) it is your responsibility to notify us immediately of any change in your contact details and to provide us with alternative contact details and ensure that our calls for Margin will be met if you will be uncontactable at the contact address or telephone number notified to us (for example because you are travelling or are on holiday, or you are prevented from being in contact because of a religious holiday).
    15.16 We will not be liable for any Losses, costs, expenses or damages incurred or suffered by you as a consequence of your failure to satisfy a Margin call or if we are unable to contact you in making a Margin call.
  16. Payments, set-off and netting
    16.1. We may require you to provide sufficient evidence (to our satisfaction) of the source of any funds you use to make any payments to us and we reserve our rights to prohibit you from entering into any Contracts or Transactions until we are satisfied with the information (or evidence) you have supplied and that information (or evidence) does not give us any reason to suspect any illegality in respect of those payments.
    16.2. All payments by you to Finotive Markets are:
    a) to be made without any set-off by you, counter claim or condition made by you and without you making any deduction or withholding for any Tax or any other reason unless the deduction or withholding is required by applicable law or the set-off arises by express application of this Agreement;
    b) payable in any currency that Finotive Markets may reasonably require or determine;
    c) to be made on the date and time due for payment otherwise we will be entitled to charge interest on the overdue amount (at a minimum rate of 4%), accruing daily until the date of payment;
    d) satisfied when we receive the payment in cleared funds; and
    e) to be made in the currency of your Account (conversely, all payments by Finotive Markets to you will be made in the currency of your Account, unless we determine otherwise in our reasonable discretion).
    16.3. If you make payments to us in a currency that is not the base currency of your Account, you agree that we will make whatever necessary adjustments and conversions are required and you will be liable for any resulting losses, fees, currency conversion fluctuations or other applicable charges.
    16.4. Without prejudice to Finotive Markets right to require payment from you in accordance with this Agreement, we have the right (at any time) to set-off any losses incurred or any amounts you owe in respect of your Transactions or any debit balances in any Account. If any loss or debit balance exceeds all amounts held, you must immediately pay us any excess whether demanded or not. You also authorise us to set-off any amounts held by us for your benefit in a joint Account against losses incurred by the other joint holder.
    16.5. If the total amount that is payable by one party is greater than the total amount that it payable by the other party, then the party by whom the larger total amount is payable must pay the excess to the other party and so the obligations to make payment of each party will be satisfied and discharged.
    16.6. All payments to be made by you under this Agreement, which are due and payable are due immediately on our verbal or written demand. Once demanded, such payments must be paid by you, and must be received in full by us (in cleared funds) for your payment obligations to be satisfied.
    16.7. In determining whether to accept payments from you under this Agreement, we will have utmost regard to our obligations under Governing Legislation. Accordingly, we may in our absolute discretion reject payments from you or a third party and return funds to their source.In particular, we will not accept payments from a bank account if it is not evident to us that the bank account is in the Client’s name.
    16.8. Our failure or omission to enforce or exercise our right to insist on timely payment (including our right to insist on immediate payment of Margin) will not amount to a waiver or bar to enforcement of that right.
    16.9. Time is of the essence in respect of any payment obligation under this Agreement.
    16.10. You acknowledge that in some instances there might be delays in your deposited funds being reflected in your trading account. This may be due to the high volume of deposits/transfers that clients may attempt simultaneously. You acknowledge and agree that aforesaid instances are outside of our control, and we shall not be held liable for any losses or additional losses.
  17. Communications
    17.1. An instruction by you to open or Close Out a Transaction (including an Order) must be made by you, or on your behalf:
    a) via our Electronic Trading Service; or
    b) in such other manner as we may specify from time to time.
    17.2. Written instructions to open or Close Out a Transaction, including instructions sent by facsimile, email (including a secure email sent via our Electronic Trading Service) or text message, will not be accepted or be effective for the purposes of this Agreement.
    17.3. Any communication that is not an instruction to open or Close Out a Transaction may be made by you, or on your behalf:

    19.1. If an Event of Default occurs, we may in addition to any other rights which we have or may have against you (including rights arising in other parts of this Agreement), without giving prior notice to you, take any action, or refrain from taking action, which we consider reasonable in the circumstances in connection with Transactions entered into pursuant to this Agreement and, without limitation, we may do any one or more of the following:
    a) suspend or terminate your Account (as we consider appropriate in the circumstances);

This may have the result that your Transaction is Closed Out in tranches at different prices resulting in an aggregate closing level for your Transaction that results in further losses being incurred on your Account. You acknowledge and agree that we will not have any liability to you as a result of any such Closing Out of your Transactions.
    19.3. Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights to claim a default by Finotive Markets or for you to take any proper action you determine is appropriate to claim or to recover for any Loss arising from your claim. For example, we acknowledge that you may terminate this Agreement if Finotive Markets materially breaches this Agreement. You agree that it is reasonable for you not to have specific rights following an Event of Default and specific defaults by Finotive Markets in order to avoid all Transactions of all of Finotive Markets’ clients prematurely terminating, which could cause irrevocable loss to some, or all Clients and those losses could be irrevocably increased by such an automatic termination.

Subject to the Governing Legislation, you will indemnify us, and keep us indemnified on demand, in respect of all liabilities, Losses or costs of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be incurred by us as a direct or indirect result of any failure by you to perform any of your obligations under this Agreement, in relation to any Transaction or in relation to any false information or declaration made either to us or to any third party, in particular to any Exchange.

    20.2.

    20.4. Finotive Markets excludes all liability in contract, tort or otherwise relating to or resulting from use of any services we provide under this Agreement and for any Loss incurred by you directly or indirectly, including without limitation as a result of or arising out of:
    a) your use of an Electronic Trading Service;
    b) any inaccuracy, error or delay in or omission from any information provided to you under this Agreement including the Electronic Trading Service;c) any delays or failures or inaccuracies, or loss of access to, the provision of a service to you including, without limitation, any delay, failure or inaccuracy in, or the loss of access to, the Electronic Trading Service or in respect of the transmission of Orders or any other information;

  24. Corporate Events, takeovers, voting rights, interest and dividends
    Corporate Events
    24.1. If any Underlying Instrument becomes subject to possible adjustment as the result of an event described in clause 24.2 (Corporate Event), we will determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to the size or value or number of the related Transaction(s) (or to the level of any Order) to account for the diluting or concentrating effect necessary to preserve the economic equivalent of the rights and obligations of the parties in relation to that Transaction immediately prior to that Corporate Event.
    24.2. Any of the following may be regarded as a Corporate Event:
    a) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of shares, a share buy-back or cancellation, or a free distribution of shares to existing shareholders by way of a bonus, capitalisation or similar issue;
    b) a distribution to existing holders of the underlying shares of additional shares, other share capital or securities granting the right to payment of dividends or proceeds of liquidation of the issuer equally proportionately with such payments to holders of the underlying shares, 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 cash or otherwise) at less than the prevailing market price per share as determined by us;
    c) the voiding of an Underlying Instrument that trades, or has traded, on a when- issued basis, in which case any Transaction that relates to that Underlying Instrument will also be void;
    d) any other event in respect of the shares analogous to any of the above events or otherwise having a diluting or concentrating effect on the market value of the shares, whether temporary or otherwise; or
    e) any event analogous to any of the foregoing events or otherwise having a diluting or concentrating effect on the market value of any Underlying Instrument not based on shares, whether temporary or otherwise.
    Takeovers
    24.3. If at any time a takeover offer is made in respect of a company, and you have a Transaction that relates to the securities of that company, then:
    a) we will use reasonable endeavours to notify you of the takeover offer;
    b) we will (if applicable) apply the terms of the takeover offer to your Transaction, as if you were a holder of the securities in question;
    c) we may offer you the opportunity to agree to the takeover offer (as it applies to your Transaction), or we may elect to agree on your behalf where we reasonably believe it is in your best interests to do so. If you elect to agree, or we agree on your behalf, your Transaction will be suspended and become untradeable until the closing date of the takeover offer at which point your Transaction will be closed in accordance with the terms of the takeover offer. You agree that we will be entitled to cancel or adjust the size and/or value and/ or number of any Transaction(s) (and/or the level of any Order) to reflect the takeover offer, and that any such cancellation or amendment will be conclusive and binding upon you;
    d) if you do not agree, and we do not agree on your behalf, but the takeover goes ahead nonetheless (for example, if drag- along rights apply), you agree that we will be entitled to cancel or adjust the size and/or value and/or number of any Transaction(s) (and/or the level of any Order) to reflect the takeover offer, and that any such cancellation or amendment will be conclusive and binding upon you; and
    e) at any time prior to the closing date of the takeover offer we may give notice to you of our intention to Close Out a Transaction in respect of that company’s securities. The date of such notice will be the closing date of the Transaction and the Closing Level will be determined by us, based on our reasonable assessment of the market value of the Instrument at the relevant time.
    Voting Rights
    24.4. You acknowledge that we will not transfer voting rights relating to an Underlying Instrument to you, or otherwise allow you to influence the exercise of voting rights held by us or by an agent on our behalf.
    Interest
    24.5. We will value open Transactions on a daily basis and calculate the amount of interest, on a basis notified to you in writing on a daily or monthly basis (including electronically), that would apply to the sum of money necessary to take out a position in the Underlying Instrument with the same value. A different rate of interest will normally apply to long and short positions. While your Transaction remains open, the amount of interest will be calculated and will accrue on a daily basis as follows:
    a) if you sell, interest will be either credited or debited to your Account (depending on the interest rate); and
    b) if you buy, interest will be debited from your Account.
    24.6. For certain Expiry Transactions, our Quote (which is based on the Underlying Market) will include an interest component. Such Expiry Transactions will not be adjusted for interest as set out in clause 24.5 above.
    Dividends
    24.7. Where applicable (e.g., where an Underlying Instrument is a stock or index in respect of which a dividend is paid) a dividend adjustment will be calculated for your Account in respect of Open Positions held over the ex-dividend day or time for the relevant Underlying Instrument. For long positions, the dividend adjustment will generally be the amount of the net dividend receivable by the individual or entity holding the equivalent position in an Underlying Instrument and, in respect of non-Australian Instruments, will reflect normal market practice unless otherwise agreed with you. For short positions, the dividend adjustment will generally be the net dividend amount, unless otherwise agreed with you, but this may depend on where the Underlying Instrument trades. Further details may be obtained from us on request.
    Dividends will be credited to your Account if you bought, i.e., opened a long position, and debited if you sold, i.e., opened a short position.
    24.8. For certain Expiry Transactions, our quote (which is based on the Underlying Market) will include a forecasted dividend component. Such Expiry Transactions will not be adjusted for dividends as set out in clause 24.7 above. Note that, for such Expiry Transactions, in the event that there is declared or paid in respect of the relevant Underlying Instrument a special dividend or a dividend that is unusually large or small or payable by reference to an ex-dividend date that is unusually early or late or in the event that a previously regular dividend is omitted (in each case, having regard to dividend payments in previous years in respect of that same financial instrument), we may make an appropriate adjustment (including a retrospective adjustment) to the Opening Level or the size of the Transaction that relates to that Underlying Instrument.
  25. KYC and AML Policy
    25.1. You acknowledge and agree:
    a) that we are required to properly identify and verify you prior to agreeing to open an Account because we are subject to the AML Laws;
    b) to provide all information and documentation we require to verify you;
    c) if we cannot properly verify you, we reserve our rights to reject your application for an Account and will not be liable whatsoever for that rejection;

    f) that the payment of moneys to us or any instructions given by you, will not breach any law in SVG or any other country.

    26.4. You have the right to request and view any documentation we have collected from you (free of charge).

    27.2. Nothing in this clause 27 effects our other rights in this Agreement. Further, each indemnity provided by you in this Agreement survives termination.

  32. Opening a CFD Transaction
    3.1 You enter into a CFD Transaction either buying (going long) or selling (going short) a CFD. You go “long” when you buy a CFD in the expectation that the price of the Underlying Instrument to which the CFD relates will increase. This would have the effect that the price of the CFD would increase. You go “short” when you sell a CFD in the expectation that the price of the Underlying Instrument to which the CFD relates will decrease. This would have the effect that the value of the CFD would decline.
    3.2 A CFD Transaction comes into existence when we have accepted your Order to enter into the CFD Transaction.
    3.3 The obligation to pay any fees and charges as outlined in clause 13 of the Agreement (as the context requires) applies to CFD Transactions.

    4.2 If you wish to close an Open Position in respect of a CFD Transaction, you enter into a new position which is equal and opposite to the Open Position. To close a ‘bought’ or ‘long’ position - you sell. To close a ‘short’ or ‘sold’ position - you buy.
    4.3 At the time that the Open Positions are Closed Out, the Electronic Trading Service will calculate the remaining payment rights and obligations to reflect movements in the Contract Value since the previous business close (including any other credits/debits). Since you enter into a position to Close Out the existing position, there may be a fee on the position used to close the position, which you agree to pay.
    4.4 You may give us notice of your intention to close any CFD (whether in whole or part) by specifying the Underlying Instrument and the quantity of CFDs that you wish to close. This must be done by you placing an Order for a CFD Transaction which, if accepted, would Close Out the CFD that you wish to close.
    4.5 At the Closing Out of a CFD Transaction, if there is a difference between the Closing Value and the Contract Value of the CFD it must be accounted for in the following way:
    a) if the Closing Value is greater than the Contract Value, the Short Party must pay to the Long Party the difference; an
    b) if the Closing Value is less than the Contract Value, the Long Party must pay to the Short Party the difference.
    4.6 If the issuer whose security represents the Underlying Instrument on which all or part of a CFD Transaction is based becomes insolvent, the CFD Transaction will be taken to have been Closed Out at that time. The Closing Price of the CFD Transaction will be determined by us and we may consider a number of factors we believe appropriate in the circumstances.
    4.7 If the Underlying Instrument on which the CFD Transaction is based ceases to be listed for quotation on an Exchange, or is suspended or is halted from quotation, we may, in its absolute discretion, elect to terminate the relevant CFD Transaction and make necessary adjustments that we believe are necessary.
    4.8 All adjustments or price calculations made by us in respect of a CFD Transaction is binding on you.
  34. Trigger Events
    5.1 If an Underlying Instrument in respect of a CFD is subject to a Trigger Event, we will make the necessary adjustments to the CFD Transaction (including the Contract Value) that we believe is fair and reasonable in the circumstances. Any adjustment will take effect at the time that we determine.
    5.2 If at any time a Trigger Event occurs and it is not reasonably practicable as determined by Finotive Markets in its absolute discretion to make an adjustment, Finotive Markets may at any time after the Trigger Event give you notice of Finotive Markets’ intention to Close Out the CFD Transaction with the Closing Value being that notified to you by Finotive Markets.
  35. Terminating a CFD
    6.1 You acknowledge that Finotive Markets may terminate a CFD (apart from any other right to terminate) if:
    a) the Underlying Instrument ceases to be able to be traded on an Exchange or is subject to a trading suspension or trading halt for a period of more than five (5) Business Days;
    b) a Trigger Event occurs, and Finotive Markets determines that it is not reasonably practicable to make an adjustment to the terms of a CFD under this schedule;
    c) Finotive Markets’ rights under the relevant hedge contract or in respect of the relevant Underlying Instrument, are Closed Out, suspended or terminated by its hedge counterparty (which may occur automatically under the terms of any agreement between Finotive Markets and the hedge counterparty); or

The termination will take effect at the time determined by Finotive Markets.
