IMPORTANT NOTICES
OTC trading means that trading does not take place on a regulated exchange. There are no guarantees as to the creditworthiness of the counterparty to your Forex, CFD, Options and Spread Betting position. In addition, there may be certain cases where trading liquidity decreases, causing Forex, CFDs, Options and Spread Betting trades in commodities, currencies, metals and indices to cease, thus preventing the liquidation of an adverse position which may result in a substantial financial loss.
FXWB Prime does not provide investment advice. Market recommendations, signals, information provided and/or distributed by FXWB Prime are general in nature and are based solely on the judgment of FXWB Prime personnel or third party information providers. These market recommendations may or may not be consistent with the market position or intentions of FXWB Prime, its marketing partners, and/or employees. Market recommendations and information provided by FXWB Prime are based on information deemed reliable, but FXWB Prime cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness thereof or represent that following such recommendations will eliminate the risk inherent in Forex, CFD, Options and Spread Betting trading. Any market recommendations or information provided by FXWB Prime does not constitute an offer to buy or sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, any OTC transaction. The Customer understands and agrees that he/she is capable and solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks of any transaction he/she may enter into with FXWB Prime.
Customer understands that FXWB Prime does not allow its customer representatives to exercise discretion or manage an OTC account. If Customer's account is not being traded with Customer's authorization, Customer must notify FXWB Prime immediately.
FXWB Prime's margin policies and/or the policies of those banks/brokerages through which trades are executed may require additional funds to be provided to properly margin the Customer's account and the Customer is obligated to immediately comply with such margin requirements. Failure to comply with margin requirements may result in the liquidation of any open positions with a consequent loss. FXWB Prime reserves the right to reject any order.
The client understands that he/she should carefully review reports relating to the client's trades posted online by FXWB Prime. All execution reports and account statements will be considered final unless the client objects within two business days of their posting. Objections may be made initially by email or telephone, but must be subsequently confirmed in writing.
Customer understands that FXWB Prime may establish rules and provisions for customer accounts, including but not limited to minimum account size, investment time period, commissions and fees, leverage size per instrument, margins, rules regarding stop losses and limits, rules regarding rollovers, rules regarding margin calls, or any other financial arrangements, and that such rules and provisions may be modified by FXWB Prime from time to time.
Customer has read and understands 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 shall comprise the terms of Customer's relationship with FXWB Prime. Customer agrees that Customer is fully responsible for making all decisions regarding transactions made for Customer's account. Customer has considered the above factors and in view of Customer's current and anticipated financial resources, Customer is willing and able to assume the substantial financial risks of OTC trading.

- • FXWB Prime does not permit the practice of arbitrage in trading and strictly prohibits any form of manipulation of its prices, execution, and platform or the making of trades based on errors, omissions or misquotes on the FXWB Prime platform.
- • Price latency, connectivity delays and errors in price feeds sometimes create a situation where the prices displayed do not accurately reflect market quotes. The concept of arbitrage and "scalping", or taking advantage of these Internet delays, cannot exist in an OTC market where the customer buys or sells directly from the market maker.
- • Any transaction that relies on price latency or price feed errors may be subject to intervention including the right to void any transaction that FXWB Prime has determined is a result of any of these practices, profit reversal, spread widening, trade lockout, and any other necessary account corrections or adjustments without notice.
- • If FXWB Prime suspects or has reason to believe that the Client has abused the terms and conditions by hedging positions internally (using other trading accounts held with FXWB Prime) or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers), FXWB Prime reserves the right to cancel any trades or profits associated with the Client's account(s).
- • MARKET ABUSE: FXWB Prime may hedge our liability to you by opening analogous positions with other institutions or in the underlying market. The result of us doing this is that when you trade with us your trades may, through our hedging, exert a distorting influence on the underlying market for that index, in addition to the impact it may have on our own prices. This creates a potential for market abuse.
- • The Client represents and warrants, and agrees that each such representation and warranty shall be deemed repeated each time the Client opens or closes a position that:
- • The Client will not and has not placed a trade with us relating to a particular
index or any other CFD price if in doing so the Client, or other persons with whom the Client
acts in concert, would have exposure to the price of the underlying financial instrument which
could create a situation of market abuse.
This exposure may be equal to or greater than the amount of a reportable interest in the relevant financial instrument. For these purposes, the level of a reportable interest shall be the level prevailing at the material time, as determined by law or by the stock exchange(s) or other exchange on which the underlying financial instrument is traded; and - • The client will not carry out nor has he carried out any commercial transaction with us in relation to:
- • a placement, issue, distribution or other similar event;
- • an offer, acquisition, merger or other similar event; or
- • any other corporate finance-style activity in which the Client is involved or otherwise interested; and
- • The Client will not place or close a position and the Client will not place an order that contravenes any primary or secondary legislation or other law against insider dealing or market manipulation. The Client agrees that FXWB Prime may proceed on the basis that when the Client opens or closes a position or places an order on the price of a share, the Client may be treated as dealing in securities within the meaning of the relevant statutes or regulations.
- • In the event that the Client places or closes any trade or places an order in breach of the representations and warranties given, or FXWB Prime has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Client may have done so, FXWB Prime may at our absolute discretion and without being under any obligation to inform the Client of our reason for doing so close that trade and any other trade or trades it may have open at the time, if any, and also at our absolute discretion cancel any trade or profits associated with the Client(s) account.
- • The Client acknowledges that the transactions are speculative arrangements and agrees that he/she will not enter into any transaction with us in connection with any corporate finance style activity.
- • Client acknowledges that it would be improper for Client to trade in the underlying market if the sole purpose of such transaction was to impact our bid or ask prices, and Client agrees not to engage in any such transaction.

- • FXWB Prime reserves the right to refuse to accept any
- •FXWB Prime may, at its sole discretion, allow the Client to specify a closing price for a transaction on the Trading Platform through a “Close at Loss” and “Close at Profit” order, always subject to the terms of this Agreement and any other terms and conditions that FXWB Prime may implement from time to time.
- • "Closing at a loss" means an offer to close a trade at a price determined in advance by the Client which, in the case of a trade opened by offering to buy a specific number of a certain instrument, is lower than the opening price of the trade, and in the case of a trade opened by offering to sell a specific number of a certain instrument, is higher than the opening price of the trade.
- • "Closing at Profit" means an offer to close a trade at a price determined in advance by the Client which, in the case of a trade opened by offering to buy a specific number of a certain instrument, is higher than the opening price of the trade, and in the case of a trade opened by offering to sell a specific number of a certain instrument, is lower than the opening price of the trade.
- • Upon Client's offer and FXWB Prime's acceptance of an order, Client authorizes FXWB Prime to close the transaction at the Close at Loss or Close at Profit price, as applicable, and as agreed in the order, without further instructions or notification to Client.

- • The Client acknowledges and agrees that due to market volatility and factors beyond the control of FXWB Prime, FXWB Prime cannot guarantee that a Stop Loss order will be executed at the level specified in the Client's order. In such event, FXWB Prime will close the transaction at the next best price.
- • If, prior to the Client's "Limit Order" offer to open or close a transaction being accepted by FXWB Prime, the FXWB Prime quote moves in the Client's favour (for example, if the price goes down when the Client buys or the price goes up when the Client sells) the Client agrees that FXWB Prime will execute the closing transaction at the price specified by the Client and not better. The Client agrees that FXWB Prime may withhold such price movement at its own expense.
- • The Client is aware that a portion of FXWB Prime's revenue comes from the spreads on each transaction. The spread is the difference between the bid price and the ask price of the quote on a transaction. Therefore, in the event that the fair market price reduces FXWB Prime's spread on a specific transaction, FXWB Prime may, at its sole discretion, choose not to execute such transaction, in which case FXWB Prime may send the Client a modified quote for consideration. FXWB Prime may complete a transaction at its sole discretion in the event that the fair market price does not affect FXWB Prime's spread on the transaction and/or increases it.
