1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 AGREEMENT

The client agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered by Our Platform Traders with operational address East 14th Street, New York, NY 10003, United States. (the “company”) who is the holder of the brand name cryptinvest.net Traders and the person and/or legal that has applied to open a trading account at the Company’s trading platform (the “Client”), according to the terms and conditions detailed in this agreement.

1.2. LIABILITY

All amounts handed over by the client to the company or which the company holds on behalf of the client, for the provision of investment services, shall be held on behalf of the Client in an account institution. The Company will not be liable for any failure or insolvency of any bank or third party;

1.3. RISK WARNING

Before entering into this Agreement, the Client should carefully read and consider the Risk Disclosure, which is available on the Website. The Risk Disclosure sets forth the particular risks of investing in foreign exchange and contracts for differences. Company will consider the request to open an account by the Client and its acceptance of this request, as unequivocal evidence that the Client has read and is prepared to accept the risks set out in the Risk Disclosure is helpful but does not describe all of the risks related to trading in contracts for differences. It is the Client`s responsibility to make sure it is fully aware of all these risks and to take advice, if necessary, before entering into this Agreement.

1.4. CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY

The Client should be aware that, when providing investment services to the Client under this Agreement, Company will have interests (including interests deriving from duties we owe other clients or parties) in conflict with the client’s interests, and some conflicts could not be effectively avoided or mitigated without altering the discretionary nature of the prices quoted by us. Indeed, by trading in contracts for differences the Client will make gains or incur losses as a result of a difference in prices (or exchange rates, as applicable) at which trading positions are respectively opened or closed.

Company does not normally owe best execution duties to the Client as Company deals with the Client “on quotes”, so it does not execute orders “on behalf” of the Client. When the Client wants to enter into a particular contract with Company, it may decide whether or not to do so based on the price (or exchange rate, as applicable) quoted by Company for that contract. Company determines the prices (or exchange rates, as applicable) at which it is prepared to enter into a contract with the Client (and the relevant bid-ask spread) in its absolute discretion, taking into account the price levels quoted by competitors and other intermediaries, general market conditions as well as other factors such as the exposure of Company to the underlying financial instruments.

Please refer to the Best Execution Policy on our website.

The Client realizes and accepts that this pricing process involves conflicting interests of Company, which are intrinsic in the investment business Company carries out under this Agreement. Company will provide trading services to the Client on the basis that the Client is satisfied with the pricing policies and practices of Company and believes that Company’s pricing provides a fair treatment of the Client’s interests. Where Company may reasonably take steps to avoid or mitigate conflicts arising in the supply of its services which are likely to significantly affect the Client’s interests, Company will do so in accordance with its Conflict of Interest Policy which contains provisions, among others, designed to:

(I) Describe the main sources of conflicts or potential conflicts with the Client’s interests, which may arise in the supply of services by us under this Agreement;

(II) Establish the procedures by which such conflicts will be identified and managed by Company from time to time;

(III) Express the cases where the existence of a conflict must be disclosed to the Client before Company can execute an order under this Agreement, so that the Client may decide whether or not to confirm the order;

and

(IV) Establish the procedures by which the Conflict of Interest Policy will be revised when needed or periodically updated.

A summary of the Conflicts of Interest Policy is available on the Website. Further details will be provided upon the Client’s request.

Company may or may not accept an Order in its absolute discretion, except that we may not refuse to fulfil an Order to close out an open trading position issued by the Client in accordance with this Agreement.

6.3. ABUSIVE TRADING TECHNIQUE

Internet, connectivity delays and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where the prices displayed on the Company trading platforms do not actually reflect the market rates, either generally as a result of connectivity delays, upon the occurrence of a market event or an abnormal trading conditions. Trading strategies aimed at exploiting errors in prices and/or concluding trades at off-market prices, or taking advantage of these internet delays (such a scalping or sniping), cannot exist in an OTC market where the client is buying or selling directly from the market maker. Therefore, the minimum duration for a trade is 5 minutes.

Such trading strategies are not permissible on Company’s trading platform. If Company can reasonably demonstrate that the Client, based on its trading strategy or other behaviour, deliberately and/or systematically exploited or attempted to exploit such errors in prices and/or off-market prices, Company is entitled to take one or more of the following counter measures within 30 days as of the time Company has identified such techniques:

(I) Adjust the price spreads available to the Client;

(II) Restrict or delay the Client’s execution and/or Client’s access to streaming, instantly tradable quotes, including by providing manual quotations only;

(III) Reclaim from the Client’s account any historic trading profits that Company can demonstrate have been gained through such abuse at any time;

and/or

(IV) Terminate the account immediately by giving written notice.

Any dispute arising from such quoting or execution errors will be resolved by Company at its sole and absolute discretion.
