GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

Effective from 01.07.2021 until Further Notice

CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
This is a legal contract between Ava Trade Markets Ltd, a registered financial services company in the
British Virgin Islands and is fully licensed and regulated by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services
Commission, herein after known as ("AvaTrade", “us” or “we”) its successors and assigns, and the
party/parties (the "Customer", “client” or “you”) executing this document. This document, together with
our Risk Disclosure Statement, Trading Conditions and Charges and Privacy Statement, represents the
terms with which AvaTrade will do business with Customer. This document sets out the respective rights
and obligations of both parties in connection with this service and both parties will accept and be bound
by these terms on acceptance of the terms contained herein and on completion of the application form
by Customer.

In connection with opening an account with AvaTrade to speculate in, and/or purchase, and/or sell, Forex,
Contracts for Differences (hereinafter referred to as “CFDs”), Options (hereinafter referred to as
“Options”) and Spread Betting, in commodities, metals, currencies and indices, and the receipt of such
other services and products as AvaTrade may, in its sole discretion, determine to offer from time to time
in the future, Customer acknowledges that it has been advised and understands the following factors
concerning trading in the over the counter market (“OTC”) and/or Spread Betting market, in addition to
those contained in the Risk Disclosure Statement which has been provided to Customer. We trade
contracts for differences (“CFD”) transactions in OTC.

In consideration of AvaTrade agreeing to provide services to “Customer”, “client” or “you” in connection

with the purchase of Forex, CFDs, Options and Spread Betting in commodities, currencies, metals and
indices and the receipt of such other services and products as AvaTrade may, in its sole discretion,
determine to offer from time to time in the future and which may be purchased or sold by or through
AvaTrade for Customer’s accounts(s), Customer agrees that the following rights and obligations will
govern the relationship between AvaTrade and Customer.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
OTC trading means that trading does not take place on a regulated exchange. There are no guarantees as
to the credit worthiness of the counter party of your Forex, CFDs, Options and Spread Betting position.
Also, there may be certain cases in which trading liquidity decreases, causing Forex, CFDs, Options and
Spread Betting in commodities, currencies, metals and indices to cease, thereby preventing the liquidation
of an adverse position which may result in a substantial financial loss.

AvaTrade does not provide investment advice. The market recommendations, signals, information
provided by and/or distributed by AvaTrade are general in nature and based solely on the judgment of
AvaTrade’s personnel or from third party information providers. These market recommendations may or

Page 1 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
may not be consistent with the market position or intentions of AvaTrade, its marketing partners, and/or
employees. The market recommendations and information provided by AvaTrade are based upon
information believed to be reliable, but AvaTrade cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or
completeness thereof or represent that following such recommendations will eliminate the risk inherent
in trading Forex, CFDs, Options and Spread Betting. Any market recommendations of, or information
provided by, AvaTrade does not constitute an offer to buy or sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or
sell, any OTC transaction. Customer understands and hereby agrees that Customer is capable of, and
solely responsible for, assessing the merits and risks of any trade it may enter into with AvaTrade.

Customer understands that AvaTrade does not permit its Customer representatives to either exercise
discretion or manage an OTC account. If Customer’s account is not being traded with Customer’s
authorisation, Customer must notify AvaTrade immediately.

AvaTrade’s margin policies and/or the policies of those banks/clearing houses through which trades are
executed may require that additional funds be provided to properly margin Customer’s account and
Customer is obligated to immediately meet such margin requirements. Failure to meet margin calls may
result in the liquidation of any open positions with a resultant loss. AvaTrade reserves the right to refuse
to accept any order.

Customer understands that it must carefully review the reports relating to Customer’s trading posted
online by AvaTrade. All reports of execution and statements of accounts will be deemed final unless
customer objects within two business days of being posted. Objections may be made initially by email or
by telephone, but must be confirmed thereafter in writing.

Customer understands that AvaTrade may establish rules and provisions for client accounts, including but
not limited to minimum account size, investment time period, commissions and fees, leverage size per
instrument, mark ups, rules relating to stop losses and limits, rules relating to rollovers, rules relating to
margin calls, or any other financial arrangement, and that such rules and provisions may be changed by
AvaTrade from time to time.

Customer has read and understands the Customer’s obligations and rights under this Customer
Agreement and agrees and acknowledges that this Customer Agreement, the Risk Disclosure Statement
and the Privacy Statement will comprise the terms of the Customer’s relationship with AvaTrade. The
Customer agrees that Customer is fully responsible for making all decisions as to transactions effected for
Customer’s account. Customer has considered the foregoing factors and in view of Customer’s present
and anticipated financial resources, Customer is willing and able to assume the substantial financial risks
of OTC trading.

IT IS THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION ABOUT TRADING
IN FOREX, CFDs, OPTIONS AND SREAD BETTING AND AVATRADE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND MAKE
SURE THAT ALL RISKS AND ARRANGEMENTS ARE DISCUSSED AND CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD PRIOR TO

with which trades are executed.

margin calls in such mode of transmission as AvaTrade in its sole discretion designates.

8.5 AvaTrade may at any time proceed to liquidate Customer’s account and any failure by AvaTrade

thereafter.

8.6 AvaTrade retains the right to limit the amount and/or total number of open positions which
Customer may acquire or maintain at AvaTrade, and to increase margin requirements in advance
of earnings or other news or events, with or without notice, either before such events or
retroactively or at any other time that it deems at its sole discretion.

8.7 Orders must be placed allowing sufficient time to execute and to calculate margin requirements.

Page 6 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
(i) Cancel or reject the bonus promotion, and any related Trading Agent bonus, at its sole
discretion

(ii) To terminate Customer’s access to services provided by AvaTrade and/or terminate the
contract between AvaTrade and the Customer for the provision of services,

(iii) To block Customer's Account(s) and to arrange for the transfer of any unused balance to

or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers), AvaTrade reserves the right

9.4 Bonus promotions may be restricted in certain jurisdictions.

9.5 AvaTrade reserves the right to cancel or reject bonus promotions at its sole discretion.

10. OPTIONS
10.1 Options are contracts that give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (in the case of a
Call Option) or to sell (in the case of a Put Option) a specified FX/CFD at a specified price (the
“Strike”) at a specified time and date (the “Expiration”), from or to the seller of the option. These
are commonly known as European style vanilla options.

10.2 The proceeds of the purchase or sale of an Option (the "Cost", or "Premium") will be immediately
debited or credited to the cash balance of the account. At Expiration, Options that are in the
money will be automatically closed out at intrinsic value, that is, in the case of Call Options, the
amount by which the closing price of the specified FX/CFD exceeds the strike price, and in the
case of Put Options, the amount by which the Strike exceeds the closing price of the specified
FX/CFD. For long Call and short Put positions, the closing price will be the prevailing bid price of
the underlying FX/CFD at Expiration; and for short Call and long Put positions, the closing price
will be the prevailing ask (offer) price of the underlying FX/CFD, as determined by Ava in its sole
discretion. Options that are not in the money will expire worthless.

10.3 The Customer acknowledges, recognizes and accepts that AvaTrade quotes variable spreads on
Options. The Client is specifically made aware that variable option spreads are affected by actual
market conditions, which are beyond AvaTrade’s control. AvaTrade does not guarantee any
maximum or minimum quotable option spreads. There may be times when Options quotes are
not available in some underlying FX/CFDs.

10.4 We allow you to perform various transactions, including in respect of options based on various
indices that shall be defined by us from time to time (for example, index rates and stock and

Page 7 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
option rates), and to receive financial information and various other services as we shall
determine in our sole discretion. Prior to effecting any transaction, we advise you to read the
explanations that may be found on the website regarding each type of transaction. The rules of
trade are set exclusively by AVA.

10.5 We will make available, by posting on www.avafx.com / www.avatrade.com, the current price
applicable to a share or index, and offer you the opportunity to submit a put or call position in
respect of such share. Each position shall be for a specified expiry time. We expect that the current
prices will be reasonably related to the actual prices of such shares available in the market. We
make no warranty, express or implied, that the quoted prices represent prevailing quoted prices.

11. AVAPROTECT
11.1 AvaProtect is a risk management tool that offers protection against losses on a specific position

11.10 If a customer purchases an AvaProtect contract for a position, then

11.10.1 If the customer realizes losses on a covered position prior to the AvaProtect Expiration
date and time for any reason, including Stop Loss, AvaTrade will credit the account with
the loss.

11.10.2 If the customer has unrealized losses on a covered position as of the time the AvaProtect
Expiration date and time, AvaTrade will credit the account with that unrealized loss,
based on the prevailing market price of replacing the protected position, in AvaTrade’s

Page 8 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
sole discretion. No action is required by the customer on the Expiration of AvaProtect to
receive this credit, and the position remains open.

11.11 AvaProtect contracts have no value after the protected position is closed or after the Expiration
date and time, whichever occurs first.

11.12 AvaProtect contracts have no impact on required margin, and accounts do not reflect any
potential unrealized value of AvaProtect contracts.

11.13 Customers are always required to maintain adequate margin or positions may be closed.

12. CUSTOMER ASSETS

12.1 Interest is not payable by AvaTrade on client funds deposited by Customer.

21. MARKET ABUSE AND MANIPULATION

21.1 PROHIBITION ON ARBITRAGE AND MANIPULATION

21.1.1 AvaTrade does not permit the practice of arbitrage when trading and strictly forbids any
form of manipulation of its prices, execution, and platform or making transactions based
on errors, omissions or misquotes on the AvaTrade platform.

21.1.2 Price latency, connectivity delays, and price feed errors sometimes create a situation
where the prices displayed do not accurately reflect market rates. The concept of
arbitrage and "scalping", or taking advantage of these Internet delays, cannot exist in an
OTC market where the client is buying or selling directly from the market maker.

21.1.3 Any transactions that rely on price latency or price feed errors may be subject to
intervention which includes the right to void any transactions which AvaTrade has
determined to be a result of any of these practices, revocation of profits, widening of
spreads, block of trading and any other necessary corrections or adjustments on the
account without prior notice.

21.1.4 If AvaTrade suspects or has reason to believe that Customer has abused the terms and
conditions by hedging positions internally (using other trading accounts held with
AvaTrade) or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers), AvaTrade
reserves the right to cancel any trades or profits associated with Customer’s account(s).

21.2 MARKET ABUSE

Page 20 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
21.2.1 AvaTrade may hedge our liability to you by opening analogous positions with other
institutions or in the underlying market. The result of our doing this is that when you
trade with us your trades can, through our hedging, exert a distorting influence on the
underlying market for that index, in addition to the impact that it may have on our own
prices. This creates a possibility of market abuse.

21.2.2 Customer represents and warrants, and agrees that each such representation and
warranty is deemed repeated each time Customer opens or closes a position that:

(a) Customer will not place and has not placed a trade with us relating to a
particular index or any other CFD price if to do so would result in Customer, or
others with whom Customer is acting in concert together, having an exposure to
the price of the underlying financial instrument which can create a situation of
market abuse.

This exposure can be equal to or exceeding the amount of a declarable interest

in the relevant financial instrument. For this purpose, the level of a declarable
interest will be the prevailing level at the material time, set by law or by the stock
exchange(s) or other exchange upon which the underlying financial instrument is
traded; and

(b) Customer will not place and has not placed a trade with us in connection with:

(i) a placing, issue, distribution or other analogous event;

(ii) an offer, take over, merger or other analogous event; or

(iii) any other corporate finance style activity, in which Customer is

involved or otherwise interested; and

(c) Customer will not place or close a position and Customer will not place an
order that contravenes any primary or secondary legislation or other law against
insider dealing or market manipulation. Customer agrees that AvaTrade may
proceed on the basis that when Customer opens or closes a position or places an
order on a share price, Customer may be treated as dealing in securities within
the meaning of the relevant statutes or regulations.

21.2.3 In the event that (a) Customer places or closes any trade or places an order in breach of
the representations and warranties given, or AvaTrade has reasonable grounds for
suspecting that Customer may have done so, AvaTrade may at our absolute discretion
and without being under any obligation to inform Customer of our reason for doing so
close that trade and any other trade or trades that you may have open at the time, if

Page 21 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
applicable, and also at our absolute discretion cancel any trades or profits associated
with Customer’s account(s)

21.2.4 Customer acknowledges that trade are speculative arrangements and Customer agrees
that Customer will not enter into any transactions with us in connection with any
corporate finance style activity.

21.2.5 Customer acknowledges that it would be improper for Customer to deal in the underlying
market if the sole purpose of such a transaction was to impact on our bid or offer prices,
and Customer agrees not to conduct any such transactions.

22. EXECUTION OF ORDERS, STOP AND LIMITS

22.1 AvaTrade will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all orders which it may, in its sole
discretion, choose to accept in accordance with the oral or written or computer instructions of
Customer.

22.2 AvaTrade reserves the right to refuse to accept any order.

22.3 AvaTrade may, at its sole discretion, allow Customer to specify a closing price for a transaction at
the trading platform through a “Close at Loss” and “Close at Profit” order, subject always to the
terms of this Agreement and any other terms and conditions AvaTrade may implement from time
to time.

22.3.1 “Close at Loss” means an offer to close a transaction at a price determined in advance by
Customer which, in the case of a transaction that is opened by offering to buy a specific
number of a certain instrument, is lower than the opening transaction price, and in the
case of a transaction that is opened by offering to sell a specific number of a certain
instrument, is higher than the opening transaction price.

22.3.2 “Close at Profit” means an offer to close a transaction at a price determined in advance
by Customer which, in the case of a transaction that is opened by offering to buy a
specific number of a certain instrument, is higher than the opening transaction price, and
in the case of a transaction that is opened by offering to sell a specific number of a certain
instrument, is lower than the opening transaction price.

22.4 Upon Customer's offer and AvaTrade's acceptance of an order, Customer hereby authorizes
AvaTrade to close the transaction at the Close at Loss price or Close at Profit price, as applicable,
and as agreed upon in the order, without further instruction from or notification to Customer.

22.5 AvaTrade may, in its sole discretion, close the transaction when the price quoted by AvaTrade on
the trading platform equals the price accepted by AvaTrade for such an order.

Page 22 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
22.6 Customer acknowledges and agrees that AvaTrade shall not be obligated to close a transaction
which does not otherwise comply with any other limitations agreed upon with respect to such
transaction.

22.7 Customer acknowledges and agrees that due to market volatility and factors beyond AvaTrade's
control, AvaTrade cannot guarantee that a Close at Loss order will be executed at the level
specified in Customer's order. In such an event, AvaTrade will close the transaction at the next
best price.

22.8 If, before Customer's “Limit Order” offer to open or close a transaction is accepted by AvaTrade,
AvaTrade's quote moves to Customer's advantage (for example, if the price goes down as
Customer buys or the price goes up as Customer sells) Customer agrees that AvaTrade will execute
the closing transaction at the Customer’s specified price and not better. Customer agrees that
AvaTrade can retain such price movement for its own account.

22.9 Customer is aware that a part of AvaTrade's revenues derives from the spreads on each
transaction. The spread is the difference between the bid & the ask price of the price quote on a
transaction. Therefore, in case the fair market price reduces AvaTrade’s spread in a specific
transaction, AvaTrade may, at its sole discretion, choose not to execute such transaction, in which
case AvaTrade may send Customer an amended quote for his consideration. AvaTrade may
complete a transaction at its sole discretion in case the fair market price does not affect
AvaTrade's spread from the transaction and / or increases it.

23. RISK ACKNOWLEDGMENT

23.1 Customer acknowledges that investment in leveraged and non-leveraged transactions are
speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and is appropriate only for persons who can assume
risk of loss of their entire margin deposit.

23.2 Customer understands that because of the low margin normally required in OTC trading, price
changes in OTC may result in significant losses.

23.3 Customer warrants that Customer is willing and able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risk
of OTC trading, and in consideration of AvaTrade’s carrying his/her account(s), Customer agrees
not to hold AvaTrade and any of its subsidiaries, marketing partners or agents responsible for any
losses incurred by Customer.

23.4 Customer recognizes that guarantees of profit or freedom from loss are impossible in OTC trading.

23.5 Customer acknowledges that Customer has received no such guarantees from AvaTrade or from
any of its representatives or any introducing agent or other entity with whom Customer is
conducting his/her AvaTrade account and has not entered into this agreement in consideration
of or in reliance upon any such guarantees or similar representations.

Page 23 of 37
 GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
23.6 The high degree of leverage that is obtainable in the trading of Forex, CFDs, Options and Spread
Betting transactions can work against you as well as for you. Leverage can lead to large losses as
well as gains.

23.7 During times of extreme volatility it can be difficult or impossible to execute orders.

24. MARKET RECOMMENDATIONS AND INFORMATION

24.1 Customer acknowledges that:

(i) Any market recommendations, signals and information communicated by any method
of communication to Customer by AvaTrade and any of its subsidiaries, marketing
partners, agents or by any person within AvaTrade does not constitute an offer to sell or
the solicitation of an offer to buy any OTC contract, and that AvaTrade does not provide
investment advice

(ii) Such recommendation and information, although generally based upon information
obtained from sources believed by AvaTrade to be reliable, may be based solely on a
broker’s opinion and that such information may be incomplete and may be unverified,
and

(iii) AvaTrade makes no representation, warranty or guarantee as to, and shall not be
responsible for, the accuracy or completeness of any information or market
recommendation furnished to Customer and shall not be responsible for any loss or
damage including without limitation any loss of margin or profits which may arise directly
or indirectly from use or reliance on such recommendations or information.

24.2 Customer understands that Customer is solely responsible for assessing the merits and risks of
any trade it may enter into with AvaTrade whether as a result of information provided by
AvaTrade or otherwise.

24.3 Customer acknowledges that AvaTrade and/or its officers, directors, marketing partners,
associates, stockholders or representatives may have a position in or may intend to buy or sell
Forex, CFDs, Options and Spread Bets, which are the subject of market recommendations
furnished to Customer, and that the market position of AvaTrade or any such officer, director,
marketing partner, associate, stockholder or representative may not be consistent with the
recommendations furnished to Customer by AvaTrade.

24.4 Customer acknowledges that AvaTrade makes no representations concerning the tax implications
or treatment of any trading activity.

(v) When depositing by a Bank Transfer, as required by anti-money-laundering regulations,

Customer is required to use a bank account, which is in Customer's country of residence
and in Customer's name. Any withdrawal of funds, from Customer's AvaTrade account
to a bank account, can only be refunded to the same bank account that the funds were
originally received from.

when depositing funds using a facility other than credit cards and/or banks, you agree

Page 34 of 37
