26. No advice
26.1 You acknowledge that TGFXprime does not provide any advice, including financial
product
advice, which takes into account your objectives, financial situation or
needs.
26.2 Any financial advice on the Website or provided by TGFXprime
including
through the TGFXprime Content, the TGFXprime Community, or otherwise through providing the
TGFXprime
Services, is general only. In relation to this, you acknowledge and
agreethat:
26.2.1 the advice is general and is prepared without taking into
account your objectives, financial situation or needs;
26.2.2 because of
that,
you should, before acting on any general advice, consider the appropriateness of the
general advice, having regard to your objectives, financial situation and needs; and
27. General Risk Statement
You acknowledge and agree
that:
27.1 you use the TGFXprime Services at your own risk;
27.2 you
alone
bear the loss of any money you have invested;
27.3 trading in currencies and
metals is inherently risky, including as a result of the unpredictable and volatile
nature of currency and metals valuations and prices. Trading in FX Contracts is
suitable
for those sophisticated institutions and individual participants financially able to
withstand losses which may SUBSTANTIALLY EXCEED THE VALUE OF MARGIN OR
DEPOSITS;and
27.4 use of TGFXprime Services can never be considered
a
safe investment, and carries with it a high risk of loss.
28.
Restrictions on Financial Transactions
28.1 By using the TGFXprime
Services, you declare that all the funds that you use and invest through the TGFXprime
Services do not originate in any way from drug trafficking, abduction, terrorist
activity or any other criminal activity that is unlawful or could be considered
unlawful
in any jurisdiction.
28.2 If we terminate, suspend or block your use of the
TGFXprime
Services as a consequence of a breach or suspected breach of this clause, then you
acknowledge and agree that:
28.2.1 TGFXprime is under no obligation to refund
any
funds that may be in your Trading Account until directed by a relevant regulatory
authority. In those circumstances we may also prevent you from accessing any of the
TGFXprime Services; and
28.2.2 TGFXprime may inform the relevant authorities, other
online service providers and banks, credit card companies, electronic payment
providers
or other financial institutions of your identity and of any suspected unlawful,
fraudulent or improper activity and you will cooperate fully with us to investigate
any
such activity.
29. Additional Risk Disclosures
29.1
You
acknowledge and agree that:
29.1.1 TGFXprime reserves the right to close part,
or
all, of a Client's open positions, in order to facilitate the charge of any fees,
costs
or amounts due by you. Notwithstanding, you remain liable to pay, in accordance with
our
Fee Schedule, all fees, costs, Losses (including trading losses and trading losses
that
result in a negative balance, whereas the negative balance is also due to be repaid
to
TGFXprime) and other amounts to TGFXprime even if you have had full loss, or more, of all
margins deposited by you;
29.1.2 TGFXprime does not guarantee any order. Placing
stops, regardless of the entry or closing designation, does not guarantee that the
trade
will be filled at the order price. All entry stops and stops will be filled, upon
activation, at the first/best available market price that may or may not match the
requested order price;
29.1.3 In the event liquidity providers are unable to
provide liquidity to us, your order may experience delays in execution or you may
not be
able to place
orders entirely. The size of the order may also impede the speed at
which the order is executed. You acknowledge and agree that it is only necessary to
enter any order once and that multiple entries for the same order may inadvertently
open
unwanted positions;
29.1.4 While trading through the TGFXprime Services, you may
encounter system errors that result from hardware and/or software failures. The
result
of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to
your
instructions, executed with Trading Account balance errors and discrepancies, or not
executed at all. TGFXprime will not be liable for, and you release TGFXprime in respect
of, any
Claim or Loss associated with the resulting errors in Trading Account balances.
TGFXprime
may make the necessary corrections or adjustments on the Trading Account
involved;
29.1.5 Concerning margin based contracts or trades:
(a) the
high
level of leverage possible when conducting those transactions with respect to
foreign
currencies is because it is only necessary to pay relatively modest margins or
guarantees in relation to the scope of the contract; and
(b) accordingly,
even a
slight fluctuation of the market could mean substantial gains when these
fluctuations
are in your favour, but could also mean considerable losses if the fluctuations are
to
your detriment;
29.1.6 We do not guarantee that a contract or trade you enter
into will generate a return for you;
29.1.7 At any time, market conditions
might
render the execution of an order, or of a limit on an order (either stop loss or
take
profit), at a stipulated price impossible, including on the basis of market
illiquidity.
Accordingly, even though the extent of the losses could be subjected to an
agreed-upon
limit, the risk of incurring losses could be higher, and that loss could occur in a
relatively short period of time;
29.1.8 Since TGFXprime does not require you to
deposit an additional guarantee with us, TGFXprime may close the outstanding balances
without your consent in accordance with these Terms;
29.1.9 In volatile market conditions, foreign currencies may fluctuate rapidly to
reflect unforeseeable events that cannot be controlled either by us or by
you;
29.1.10 There is a distinction between indicative prices which are
displayed
on charts and dealable prices which are displayed on the Website;
29.1.11
Indicative quotes only give an indication of where the market is; and
29.1.12
Because the foreign exchange and derivatives products markets are decentralized,
without
a single central exchange where all transactions are conducted, each market maker
may
quote slightly different prices. Accordingly, any prices displayed on any chart made
available by us or by a third party will only reflect "indicative" prices and not
necessarily actual "dealing" prices at which trades can be executed.
29.2 The
risk information presented here and elsewhere in these Terms does not reflect all of
the
risks as well as other important aspects intrinsic to foreign currency and metals
transactions. Accordingly, before starting to trade, you agree to seek appropriate
financial, legal and/or taxation advice.
29.3 There are a series of inherent
risks with the use of the mobile trading technology such as the duplication of order
instructions, latency in the prices provided, and other issues that are a result of
mobile connectivity. Any prices displayed on a mobile platform are solely an
indication
of the executable rates and may not reflect the actual executed price of the
order.
29.4 To the extent that your use of the TGFXprime Services relies upon
using a
public communication network, we will not be liable for any Claim or Loss you suffer
or
incur in consequence of a delay in price quotation or an inability to trade caused
by
the availability of transmission quality of that network, software or hardware
problems,
or any other problems outside our direct control, which include but are not limited
to
the strength of the mobile signal, latency, or any other issues that may arise
between
you and any internet service provider, phone service provider, or any other service
provider.
29.5 You acknowledge and agree that some of the features available
on
our Website or on the TGFXprime Community may not be available on any mobile device
application we offer.
30. Risks Associated with the TGFXprime Community
and
social trading
30.1 You acknowledge and agree that there are
risks
specific to the TGFXprime Community, and the trading features which it contains –
referred
to in this clause as Social Trading Features.
30.2 You
acknowledge and agree that:
30.2.1 TGFXprime provides Social Trading Features
for
information purposes only; and
30.2.2 If you make investment decisions in
reliance on information which is available on the Website, or as a result of the use
of
the Social Trading Features, then you do so at your own risk, and you release and
indemnify TGFXprime in respect of any such use of the Social Trading
Features.
30.3
Concerning any process by which you use the TGFXprime Services to copy another Client's
position, you acknowledge and agree that:
30.3.1 the copied position will be
copied with the same proportional amounts and with the same leverage, to the maximum
extent possible;
30.3.2 all such positions will be closed automatically if
and
when closed by the copied Client and/or if the copied Client's positions were
automatically closed by us, for whatsoever reason, without providing any further
notice
and without any action on your part;
30.3.3 you acknowledge and agree that
you
may bear the loss of the entire investment you made in such a copied trade and you
are
fully responsible for any Loss or Claim you may suffer or incur as a result of our
automatic execution of instructions generated as a result of using any of the Social
Trading Features;
30.3.4 If you place additional trades in your Trading
Account
or you modify or cancel an order generated by a Social Trading Feature, you may
achieve
a materially different result than the Client that you copied.
30.4 Any past
performance of our Clients indicated on the Website is not indicative of future
results
and should be considered as hypothetical performance results.
30.5 You
acknowledge and agree that historical performance is not a guarantee or reliable
indicator of future performance. When reviewing the Client Content, portfolio,
financial
performance information, opinions or advice of another Client, you should not assume
that the Client is unbiased, independent or qualified to provide financial product
advice or provide any other financial service. TGFXprime does not endorse, support,
sanction, encourage, verify or agree with any Client position you may
copy.
30.6
Any hypothetical performance results indicated on the Website have many inherent
limitations. No representation or guarantee is being made that any Client or Trading
Account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown and
may
not take into account fees, spreads and/or trading commissions that may be charged.
The
actual percentage gains/ losses which Clients' experience will vary depending on
many
factors, including but not limited to:
30.6.1 starting Trading Account balances
(deposits and withdrawals);
30.6.2 market behavior;
30.6.3 your
Trading
Account settings; and
30.6.4 the performance of the copied Client,
and, accordingly, actual
percentage
gains/losses experienced by Clients may be materially different from the percentage
gains/ losses as presented on the Website.
30.7 You acknowledge that there
are
frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual
results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
30.8 You
acknowledge and agree that:
30.8.1 hypothetical performance results are
generally
prepared with the benefit of hindsight; and
30.8.2 hypothetical trading does
not
involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading performance can completely or
accurately account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. You
acknowledge
that the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in
spite of trading losses, are material points which can also adversely affect actual
trading results.
31. Indemnification and limitation of liability 33.1

of
the sum of money that you withdrew in your Trading Account for the purpose of
trading
that may have been the basis for any accumulated liability that you incur;
and
(b) to the extent that the Loss is attributable to any act or omission on
