2. Subject of the Agreement and Services
- The subject of the Agreement shall be the provision of Services to the Client by the Company under the Agreement and through the Trading Platform.
- The Company shall carry out all transactions as provided in this Agreement on an execution-only basis, neither managing the account nor advising the Client. The Company is entitled to execute transactions requested by the Client as provided in this Agreement, even if the transaction is not beneficial for the Client. The Company is under no obligation, unless otherwise agreed in this Agreement and/or other documentation/information on the Website, to monitor or advise the Client on the status of any transaction, to make margin calls, or to close out any of the Client’s open positions. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, the Company is not obligated to make an attempt to execute the Client’s order using quotes more favorable than those offered through the Trading Platform.
- The Investment and Ancillary Services which the Company should provide under the terms of the Agreement are stated below, and the Company will provide them in its capacity as a market maker under the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the Company may, at its sole discretion without providing prior notice to the Client, decide to transmit orders and/or be an intermediary for Clients’ transactions. The Services that the Company provides in relation to one or more Financial Instruments are the following (the list below shall not be regarded as exhaustive):
- Investment services
- Reception and transmission of orders in relation to one or more Financial Instruments.
- Execution of the orders on behalf of the Clients.
- Dealing on Own Account.
- Safekeeping and administration of the Financial Instruments for the Client’s Trading Account, including custodianship and related services such as cash/collateral management.
- Granting credits or loans to one or more financial instruments, where the firm granting the credit or loan is involved in the transaction.
- Foreign exchange services where these are connected to the provision of the Investment Services.
The Company does not provide investment, tax or trading advice unless specified as such between the Client and the Company in a separate agreement. Our services include ‘execution only’ meaning that the Company will act on your instructions and will not advise you on any transaction, nor will we monitor your trading decisions to determine if they are appropriate for you or to help you avoid losses. You should obtain your own financial, legal, taxation and other professional advice.
- Financial Instruments (the list below shall not be regarded as exhaustive):
- Option contracts (i.e. Digital Options and/or Binary Options and/or Blitz Options and/or Trailing Options) in stocks, commodities, indices and currency pairs;
- Financial Contracts for Difference (CFDs) in stocks, currency pairs (FX), commodities, ETFs, indices and CFDs in cryptocurrencies;
Trading in CFDs and other derivatives does not give you any right, voting right, title or interest in the underlying instrument of the Transaction. You understand that you are not entitled to take delivery and are not entitled to ownership of any underlying instrument. CFDs and other derivatives are not traded on a regulated exchange and are not cleared on a central clearinghouse. These exchange and clearinghouse rules and protections do not apply. The Company reserves the right to, at its sole discretion and for all CFD products, impose the following expiration times: daily/weekly/monthly and/or no expiration at all.
On its Website, the Company is entitled to provide financial services of Contracts for Difference (CFD) with intrinsic protection (Protected CFDs). The risk of loss for Protected CFDs does not exceed the sum invested by the Client in a particular CFD contract with the addition of any trading and/or ongoing trading fees incurred as a result of opening such CFD.
Clients may choose to opt in or out from the features offered by Protected CFDs by choosing the option to use the balance in their trading account in order to keep a CFD position open (“CFDs on margin”). In this instance, when the loss for a position reaches 95%, an additional 20% of the original investment amount is reserved from the Client’s account. If the CFD position takes further losses, the Client’s available balance is further reduced by 20% accordingly. The Client can limit the additional funds reserved on his account balance by specifying his acceptable level of loss for a CFD position.
In both features of CFDs described above, the Company offers negative account balance protection, i.e. the Client’s losses may never exceed the total amount of funds available in the Client’s account. In addition, the risk of loss in relation to the corresponding potential benefits for CFDs described above is reasonably understandable in light of the particular nature of the proposed financial contract.
