12. Risk Warning
12.1 We are required by law to inform you that trading is risky. There are various factors, such as the volatility of the international prices, which is very difficult to predict.

This is why we provide you with different options in terms of products and services, depending on your abilities and knowledge. If you would still wish to open an account, we will ask you to acknowledge that you are aware of the financial risks.
13. Misquotes / Mispricing
13.1 It is possible, but extremely rare, that a transaction may be performed on a wrong price due to a miss-quote price feed from any of our third-party liquidity providers or through an unexpected technical fault. Equally, there may be delays due to internet connection or occasions where a position is opened or closed based on latent prices that do not reflect the correct market prices at the time of the transaction, resulting in an inaccurate profit or inaccurate loss.
13.2 Such events may affect your transactions and our business. In this case, we will take all the necessary measures, immediately, to remedy and rectify the situation, as it is fair and suited to each case. Remedies include correcting deal entry prices or exit prices according to the correct market rates at the time of transaction. We may need to cancel any transaction(s) which are executed wrongly due to the ‘price misquote’, for example from preset limit/pending orders been triggered due to mispricing. We make our best efforts to contact and inform you of our actions, by telephone or by e-mail.
14. Suspension of Services
14.1 In the unlikely event that we may need to suspend our services, on both our proprietary and third-party platforms, we will terminate our relationship with you and subsequently close all open positions at payouts fair and reasonable at the time.

- Where multiple accounts are closed, clients are normally left with one active account in which to continue trading. This account is normally the account that was opened originally.
- A client may allow another person to trade using their account where the company gives express permission and the client provides express written permission to do so in the form of signing a Power of Attorney document to that effect. The additional trader must be named in the document and must provide ‘Know Your Customer’ documentation.
