CHAPTER II – TRANSACTIONS ON THE TRADING PLATFORM

10. OPENING AND COMPLETING A TRANSACTION

10.1 Subject to Sections 1.2 to 18.1 of this Agreement, you shall be able to complete a Transaction through the Trading Platform. You acknowledge and agree that we may, in our sole discretion, add, remove or suspend from the Trading Platform, any Instrument, from time to time as a result of a takeover, share consolidation/split, merger, spinoff, nationalization, de-listing, and the like or if no customer Positions are held in a particular Instrument at that time.

10.2 You agree that we may offset any Transaction with  other third parties in order to offset any liability or risk associated with any Transaction(s) you undertake with us.

10.3 In order to open a Transaction on the Trading Platform, you must either open a Buy or a Sell, at the price quoted by the Trading Platform at the time of such Transaction. In order to close a Transaction, you must either offer to sell (in the case of a Buy), or purchase (in the case of a Sell), the Instrument covered by such open Transaction, at the price quoted by the Trading Platform at the time of such closing offer. You acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to ownership of the underlying  instrument. You acknowledge that Transactions or open Positions cannot be transferred to other Derivative providers or their platforms.

10.4 The Trading Platform will provide a Buy quote and a Sell quote for each Instrument traded on  the Trading Platform. You acknowledge that upon opening a Buy or closing a Sell, you may only  do so at the price quoted by the Trading Platform to purchase such Instrument. You further acknowledge that upon opening a Sell or closing a Buy, you may only do so at the price quoted  by the Trading Platform for such Instrument. When you complete a Transaction on the Trading Platform, you agree that you are dealing with us as a principal, off-exchange, and are not dealing on the Exchange.

10.5 On the Trading Platform, you shall be entitled to place an order to open a Transaction at the best available rate on the Trading Platform (“Market Order”) at the time of opening such a Transaction, unless you specify a particular price to make an offer to open a Transaction (“Limit Order”). With respect to a Market Order, the price at which a Transaction is completed may not always be the exact rate displayed when the order is submitted. You agree that your offer to open a Market Order may be accepted at a lower price or higher price than the price indicated by you in your Market Order, within a certain range as specified on the Trading Platform from time to time. If you choose to open a Market Order, your order will  be accepted at the best possible rate available on the Trading Platform.

10.6 Placing an Order does not guarantee that a Transaction will be entered into under the exact same terms that exist when the Order is placed. Similarly, with respect to a Limit Order, the price at which a Transaction is completed may not always be at the exact rate displayed when the order is submitted. You acknowledge that KLIPS SA has the right to execute your Limit Order at a price which takes into account the conditions offered on the instrument, including but not limited to the leverage ratio, at the time the Order is executed, rather than the conditions offered on the instrument at the time the Order was placed. At any time prior to the acceptance of a Limit Order, you may cancel the Limit Order without any further liability. If you choose to open a Limit Order, your offer will be accepted at the next available rate offered on the Trading Platform. In certain circumstances, the margin requirements might increase (between the  time that the Order was placed and the time that the offer was accepted). While we will take steps to notify you about the increase, it is your responsibility to monitor your Trading Account and ensure that the available equity is sufficient to cover the margin required, in accordance with Section 18 of this Agreement.

10.7 You agree that your offer to open a Transaction, if accepted by us outside Trading Hours, may not be capable of execution should the market for the Derivative not trade at the price stipulated  once Trading Hours commence.

11. STOP AND LIMITS

11.1 We may, in our sole discretion, allow you to specify a closing price for a Transaction through a “Close at Loss” and “Close at Profit” order, subject always to the terms of the Client Agreements and any other terms and conditions we may implement from time to time.

11.2 Upon your offer and our acceptance of your Order, you hereby authorize us to close the Transaction at the “Close at Loss” price or “Close at Profit” price, as applicable, and as agreed in the Order, without further instruction from or notification to you. We may, in our sole discretion, close the Transaction when the price quoted by us on the Trading Platform equals  or exceeds the price accepted by us for such an Order. You acknowledge that we will not be required to close any Transaction if you are not in compliance with any of the factors set out  in Section 15.15 of this Agreement.

11.3 We may, in our sole discretion, allow you to request the opening or closing of a Transaction, including a “Close at Loss” and “Close at Profit” Order, within a specific time period determined by you. If we have accepted such a request, we may in our sole discretion, close the Transaction within such a specific time period. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be obliged to close such a Transaction outside such specific time period or which does not   otherwise comply with any other limitations agreed upon with respect to such Transaction.

11.4 You acknowledge and agree that due to market volatility and factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee that an Order will be executed at the level specified in your Order (for example, an Order may be closed at a worse price than as originally specified by you in such an Order). In such an event, we will close the Transaction  at the next available price on the Trading Platform. For example, with respect to a Close at Loss, in the case of a Buy, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly decrease below the Close at Loss price, without ever reaching such price. In the case of a Sell, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly increase above the Close at Loss price, without ever reaching such price.

11.5 With respect to a Close at Profit, where the price for an Instrument moves to your advantage (for example, if the price goes down as you buy or the price goes up as you sell), you agree that we can (but do not have to) pass such price improvement on to you. For example, in the case of a Buy, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly increase above the Close at Profit price, without ever reaching such price. In the case of a Sell, the price of an Instrument underlying such Order may suddenly decrease below the Close at Profit price, without ever reaching such price.

12. OVERNIGHT FUNDING AND CURRENCY CONVERSION FEE

12.1 Any open Transaction held by you at the end of the trading day of the Exchange on which the  relevant Instrument is traded or over the weekend when the relevant Exchange is closed, shall automatically be rolled over to the next business day to avoid an automatic close and physical settlement of the Transaction. You acknowledge that, when rolling such Transactions to the next business day, an Overnight Funding adjustment will be either added to or subtracted from the balance of your Trading Account.

12.2 The Overnight Funding is a percentage of the position value and is based on a number of factors including among others, whether the Transaction is  a Buy or a Sell, interest rates, daily price fluctuations and other economic and market related-factors.

12.3 The Overnight Funding rate for each Instrument is displayed in the instrument details for each specific Instrument on the Trading Platform. When opening a Transaction for a specific Instrument, you acknowledge that you are aware of the Overnight Funding.

12.4 The Overnight Funding percentage may be updated and will be applied based on the updated position value, including for open positions. KLIPS SA may charge a Currency Conversion Fee for all Transactions on instruments denominated in a currency different to the currency of the Client Trading Account. For any conversion required to be effected from one currency to another for conducting any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement, the Company is entitled to charge a Currency Conversion Fee of up to 0.5% of the Transaction’s realized Net Profit and Loss. Such Currency Conversion Fee may be changed from time to time, and it will be reflected in real time into the unrealized Net Profit and Loss of an open Position and will be charged once the Position is closed.

12.5 You hereby authorize us to subtract the Currency Conversion Fee from your Trading Account and/or to add or subtract the Overnight Funding to or from the balance of your Trading Account for any open Transactions that have accrued a Currency Conversion Fee and/or an Overnight Funding. This will be done in accordance with the applicable rate thereto, each day at the time of collection specified on the Trading Platform for each individual Instrument, as applicable.

13. EXPIRY OF TRANSACTIONS

13.1 We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, set an Expiry Date for a specific Instrument.

13.2 In the event we set an Expiry Date for a specific Instrument, it will be displayed on the Trading  Platform in the details link for each specific Instrument. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the Expiry Date.

13.3 If you do not close an open Transaction with respect to an Instrument which has an Expiry Date, prior to such Expiry Date, the Transaction shall automatically close upon the Expiry Date. The  Transaction shall close at a price which will be the last price quoted on the Trading Platform immediately prior to the applicable Expiry Date.

14. OUR RIGHT TO FORCE CLOSE AND PLACE OTHER ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS

14.1 If the prices quoted on the Trading Platform change such that your Client Equity is below the  Margin Close Out Amount and your Trading Account is in Margin Call, you acknowledge that we  have the right to immediately Force Close without any notice. The exercise of our right to Force Close your open Transactions will not result in termination of your Trading Account or of  this Agreement.

14.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the prices quoted on the Trading Platform move against the price of your Transaction, we may, without obligation or liability, issue you a Margin Alert notifying you to increase the available funds balance in your Trading Account, within the time   prescribed by us, to meet the Maintenance Margin requirements for the purpose of keeping a Transaction open.

14.3 If you do not act upon a Margin Call Margin Alert within the time prescribed by us, by depositing additional funds, we have to close any and all of your open Transactions whether at a loss or a profit and liquidate your Trading Account for the Difference payable by you. If the Trading Account is in Margin Call and you have more than one open Position, the Positions will start closing out according to their unrealized profit and loss from Positions with the biggest loss-making position to most profit making position until the Client Equity in your Trading Account is equal to or greater than the Margin Close-out Amount. All open positions are deemed to be at risk of being closed as soon as the Trading Account enters into a Margin Call. Notwithstanding any of the above, it is your responsibility to monitor, at all times, your Trading Account balance against the amount of any margin required.

14.4 We have the right to close open Positions at prices quoted on the Trading Platform and or limit the size of open Positions and to reject Orders to establish new Positions in any of the following cases:

14.4.1 we consider that there are abnormal trading conditions. You acknowledge that the trading of certain Instruments on the Trading Platform may become volatile very quickly and without warning. Due to the high degree of risk involved in trading volatile Instruments, you acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right to close all or any open Transactions with respect to any Instruments that we determine, in our sole discretion, are volatile, at the price quoted on the Trading Platform at such time without notice;

14.4.2 at any time Client Equity equals or falls below Maintenance Margin;

14.4.3 we reject the Order due to trading limits imposed on the Trading Account;

14.4.4 when your Trading Account enters into Margin Call or you do not act upon a Margin Alert under Section 14.2;

14.4.5 a Force Majeure Event has occurred or a quoted price on the Trading Platform includes a Manifest Error;

14.4.6 in the event we become aware of any illegal activity or inaccuracy in the Registration Data.

14.5 You acknowledge that we may be unable to receive and/or execute your Orders where a certain Instrument traded on the Trading Platform becomes volatile or when we cannot enter into a corresponding trade to hedge our own risk. Therefore, you acknowledge that market circumstances in relation to the underlying Instruments may impact on your ability to place or amend an Order or close a Position with us.

14.6 We reserve the right, acting reasonably and in accordance with our regulatory obligations, to require you to close out Transactions in a timely manner in the event that the trading instrument is removed from the Trading Platform. Where Transactions remain open for more than 7 (seven) days following our requirement for you to close them out, we reserve the right to close such Transactions on your behalf at the last available price. If we receive a chargeback or any type of dispute from your credit card issuer or with respect to any other payment method for any reason, you acknowledge that we have the right, to:

14.6.1 immediately close any and all of your open Transactions whether at a loss or a profit and liquidate your Trading Account in accordance with Section 19.3 of this Agreement, with or without any notice; and/or

14.6.2 immediately place restrictions on your Trading Account with or without any notice, including: i) the restriction on making deposits using any payment method to your Trading Account, even in cases where your Trading Account is in Margin Call , ii) the restriction on requesting withdrawals from your Trading Account, and iii) the restriction on opening new positions on the Trading Platform; the duration of the restrictions will be set at the Company’s discretion;

14.6.3 terminate the Client Agreement in accordance with Section 22.5 of this Agreement.

14.7 The Company cannot be held liable for any loss, cost or charge incurred directly or indirectly from the exercise of our right to place restrictions on your Trading Account as provided in section 14.6 of this Agreement. You further agree that the exercise of our rights under section 14.6of this Agreement does not affect, diminish, influence or alter in any way our rights to issue Margin Alerts under this Agreement.

15. GENERAL RULES OF TRADING

15.1 You acknowledge and agree that each Transaction conducted on the Trading Platform, including the placing of an Order, is comprised of first, an offer by you to complete a Transaction (whether such offer is to open a Transaction or close an open Transaction) at a certain price quoted on the Trading Platform, and secondly, an acceptance of your offer (on an automated basis). A Transaction will be deemed to have been completed only when your offer has been received and accepted.

15.2 We may in our absolute discretion, provide quotes for, or accept, execute or cancel, all or any part of a Transaction that you have requested through the Trading Platform without giving any reason. You may request to cancel or amend a Transaction at any time prior to our completing such a Transaction. We shall be entitled, but not obliged, to accept such a request in our sole discretion.

15.3 Any Financial Data, prices, or other information available to you on the website or the Trading Platform or offered by us in any other form or by any other means whatsoever (“Content”), is provided as general market commentary and does not constitute investment advice. Such Content is subject to change at any time without notice. Whilst we do take reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of such information, we will not accept liability for any loss or damage, including without limitation, any loss of profit, which may arise directly or indirectly from use of or reliance on such information.

15.4 We reserve the right to void from the outset any Transaction containing or based on any Manifest Error. In the absence of our fraud or willful default, we will not be liable to you for any loss, cost, claim, demand or expense following any Manifest Error.

15.5 You acknowledge that all prices shown on the Trading Platform are indicative only of actual trading prices in Normal Market Size and are subject to constant change.

15.6 You shall comply with any reasonable restrictions or limitations applied from time to time on any instrument, in accordance with our risk management policies, including limitations on number of Transactions, the size of new Transactions (either as a single Transaction or aggregated Transactions) or other conditions that may apply to our quote. You acknowledge that we may offer to and impose on each user, in our sole discretion, different terms and restrictions with respect to their use of the Trading Platform.

15.7 You acknowledge that whilst the prices generated on our platform will take into account market data from various sources, they are not taken directly from any one source, and therefore may not match prices that you see elsewhere (including prices quoted on stock exchanges). You further acknowledge that the triggering of your Transaction is linked to the prices we quote on the Trading Platform, not the prices quoted on the relevant Exchanges. We attempt to generate Prices on an ongoing basis and to have the currently applicable Prices displayed on the Trading Platform as quickly as possible. However, technical conditions (e.g., the transfer rate of data networks or the quality of your internet connection, as well as rapid market fluctuations) may lead to a   change in the applicable price between the time the Order is placed by you and the time the Order is received by us or the Order is executed by the Trading Platform. In addition, there will be times when circumstances may prevent the Trading Platform from generating prices or affect the prices being quoted. Our prices may differ from the current prices on the relevant Exchanges and you acknowledge that a Transaction may be triggered even though:

15.7.1 an Exchange never traded at the level of your Transaction; or

15.7.2 the Exchange did trade at the level of your Transaction but for such a short period that it would have been impractical to execute an equivalent transaction on the Exchange.

15.8 When you complete a Transaction on the Trading Platform, you agree that you are dealing with us as principal, off-exchange and are not dealing on the Exchange.

15.9 Please remember that when you open a transaction on the Trading Platform you are trading with Derivatives, which means that you enter into a contract with us for the   difference between the value of an Instrument as specified on the Trading Platform at the time of opening a Transaction, and the value of such Instrument at the time  of closing the Transaction. You acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to  ownership of the underlying asset of such a contract (for example the actual Shares  or the Rights offered in a Rights Issue event or the Shares offered in an Options contract).

15.10 You acknowledge that any prices quoted on the Trading Platform are set by us in our reasonable discretion, taking into account a variety of factors including prevailing market conditions and trading demand on the Trading Platform. You also acknowledge that the prices quoted on the Trading Platform may diverge significantly from any current Exchange or market price, or a competitor’s price for the underlying Instrument.

15.11 You acknowledge that each Transaction is made for a specified number of units that constitute the underlying Instrument. You may only complete Transactions on the Trading Platform for the minimum number of units as set forth on the Trading Platform as the “Unit Amount”, and in multiples of such “Unit Amount” up until the maximum amount permitted by the Trading Platform. You acknowledge and agree that we may set and/or change, in our sole and absolute  discretion, the “Unit Amount” for each Instrument at any time, without prior notice.

15.12 Each Transaction opened by you, and any Transaction completed, will be binding on you notwithstanding that by opening the Transaction you may have exceeded any credit or other limit applicable to you or in respect of your dealings with us.

15.13 Subject to Section 15.16 below you may request a quote to open or close a Transaction for a particular Instrument, at any time during the Trading Hours for such Instrument. We will be under no obligation to, but may, in our absolute discretion, provide a quote and accept and action your offer to open or close a Transaction for an Instrument outside of the Trading Hours of  such Instrument. In some cases, Transactions may only be traded during the time when the relevant Exchange where the Instrument is traded is open. KLIPS SA’s Trading Hours are displayed on the Trading Platform under the instrument details for each specific Instrument which may or may not be the same as the Trading Hours of the relevant Exchange. You acknowledge  that it is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of which Instrument may be affected by differences in the Trading Hours for a particular Instrument compared to the Trading Hours of the relevant Exchange for the relevant Instrument.

15.14 Without derogating from Section 10.4, if, prior to the acceptance of your offer to open or close a Transaction, we become aware that any of the factors set out in Section 15.16 have not been met, we reserve the right to reject your offer outright. If we have, nevertheless, already opened or closed a Transaction prior to becoming aware that a factor set out in Section 15.16 has not been met, we may, in our absolute discretion, either treat such a Transaction as void from the outset or close it at our then prevailing price quoted on the Trading Platform. However, we may, in our absolute discretion, allow you to open or, as the case may be, close the Transaction in which case you will be bound by the opening or closure of such Transaction, notwithstanding that the factors in Section 15.14 were not satisfied.

15.15 The factors referred to in Section 15.14 include the following:

15.15.1the quote must be obtained via the Trading Platform or by such other means as we may from time to time notify you;

15.15.2your offer to open or close the Transaction must be given while the quote is still valid;

15.15.3the quote must not contain a Manifest Error;

15.15.4when you offer to open a Transaction, the number of units in respect of which the Transaction is to be opened must be neither smaller than the minimum unit amount  specified on the Trading Platform for the Instrument, as applicable, from time to time, nor greater than the amount permitted on the Trading Platform;

15.15.5a Force Majeure Event must not have occurred as described in Section 16.1 of this Agreement;

15.15.6when you offer to open or close a Transaction an Event of Default must not have occurred in respect of you;

15.15.7when you offer to open any Transaction, the opening of the Transaction must not result in your exceeding any initial or maintenance margin amount, credit or other limit placed on your dealings;

15.15.8subject to Section 15.13, your offer must be given to us during the Trading Hours for the applicable Instrument in respect of which you offer to open or close the Transaction; and

15.15.9any other factor that we, in our sole discretion, notify you from time to time.

15.16 If, before your offer to open or close a Transaction is accepted by us, our quote moves to your advantage (for example, if the price goes down as you buy or the price goes up as you sell) you agree that we can (but do not have to) pass such price improvement on to you. The effect of such action being that the level at which you offer to open or close a Transaction will, upon acceptance by us, be altered to the more favorable price. You acknowledge that it is in your  best interests for us to alter the level of your offer in the manner contemplated in this Section and you agree that any offer altered in accordance with this Section, once accepted by us, results in a fully binding agreement between us. Without derogating from the foregoing, you acknowledge that it is within our complete discretion as to when we will pass on a price improvement to you.

15.17 Use of any robots or other automated data entry system with the Trading Platform is  expressly prohibited. All Transactions must be completed manually by you. Any Transaction completed through such use of an automatic data entry system shall be null and void. Upon a  breach of this Section 15.17, we may immediately close all or any of your Trading Accounts held with us of whatever nature, terminate the Client Agreements without notice and refuse to enter into further Transactions with you. Furthermore, any monies held in your Trading Account shall be frozen and we shall be entitled to deduct any amounts from your Trading Account in order to set off any loss, damages or expenses incurred by us as a result of a breach of this Section. Any remaining monies in your Trading Account will be returned to you in accordance with Section 22.9.

15.18 If you have more than one Trading Account with us, each Trading Account will be treated entirely separately by us. Therefore, any credit on one Account (including amounts deposited   as Margin) will not discharge your liabilities in respect of any other Account. This does not derogate from any other rights we may have if Unacceptable Trading Circumstances exist. It is  your responsibility to ensure the required level of Margin is in place for each Trading Account  separately.

15.19 Opening of more than one Trading Account is not allowed by us. You acknowledge that in an event that you opened more than one Trading Account, we will be entitled to exercise our right of terminating one and or any of your accounts. We can also decide to treat all of the accounts  as related accounts, operated by one customer.

15.20 Benefits – Takeovers and Transformations (including events such as share consolidations/splits, mergers, takeovers, spinoffs, MBO’s, de-listings, etc): depending on the circumstances of each  event, we endeavor when possible to close out open positions at the market price immediately prior to the event taking place.

15.21 If a company, whose Instrument forms the Derivative goes into insolvency or is otherwise  dissolved, we will close any such of your open Transactions in the Derivative of that Instrument. The  closing date shall be the date of insolvency.

15.22 Suspension of trading: if an instrument stops trading indefinitely on an exchange, e.g. due to corporate misconduct, we shall remove the instrument from the trading platform. All open positions on the instrument will be closed at the last available price on the Trading Platform prior to the suspension.

15.23 Declaring Bankruptcy: if a company whose Instrument forms the Derivative declares bankruptcy, we  shall remove the instrument from the Trading Platform on the same day the company filed for bankruptcy and close out all open positions on the instrument at the end of the same trading day.

16. FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS

16.1 We may, in our reasonable opinion, determine that a Force Majeure Event exists. A Force Majeure Event will include, but is not limited to, the following:

16.1.1 any act, event or occurrence (including without limitation any strike, riot or civil commotion, act of terrorism, war, industrial action, acts and regulations of any governmental authorities) that, in our opinion, prevents us from maintaining an orderly market in one or more of the Derivatives in respect of which  we deal on the Trading Platform;

16.1.2 the suspension or closure of any Exchange or the occurrence, abandonment or failure  of any Instrument on which we base, or to which we in any way relate, our quote, or the imposition of limits or special or unusual terms on the trading in any such market  or on any such event;

16.1.3 the occurrence of an excessive movement in the level of any Transaction and/or Exchange or our anticipation (acting reasonably) of the occurrence of such a  movement;

16.1.4 any breakdown or failure of transmission, communication or computer facilities, interruption of power supply, or electronic or communications equipment failure; or

16.1.5 the failure of any relevant supplier, Financial Institution intermediate broker, agent or principal of ours, Exchange, clearing house or regulatory or self-regulatory organization, for any reason, to perform its obligations.

16.2 If we determine that a Force Majeure Event exists, we may, in our absolute discretion, without  notice and at any time, take one or more of the following steps:

16.2.1 alter your Margin requirements; which may result in you requiring to provide additional Margin;

16.2.2 close all or any of your open Transactions at such closing prices as we reasonably believe to be appropriate;

16.2.3 suspend or modify the application of all or part of the Client Agreements to the extent that the Force Majeure Event makes it impossible or impracticable for us to comply thereto;

16.2.4  alter the Trading Hours for a particular Transaction;

16.2.5 void all open transactions in affected Instruments.

16.4 You agree that we will not be liable in any way to you or to any other person in the event of a Force Majeure Event, nor for our actions pursuant to Section 16.2, if we decide to take such action. The parties shall be released of all responsibilities for partial or full non- fulfilment, as well as for improper fulfilment of the obligations under this Agreement, if such non-fulfilment or improper fulfilment was a result of a Force Majeure Event, which occurred after the Client Agreements were concluded.

CHAPTER III – PAYMENT DUE ON THE TRADING PLATFORM

17. CLIENT MONEY

17.1 You hereby acknowledge and agree that we may aggregate all funds and currencies belonging to you (“the Monies”) with funds received from other clients into a single designated account, which will be maintained as required by law.

17.2 You consent to and direct us to:

17.2.1 retain any interest accrued from time to time on the Monies, and to invest that money, as permitted by law;

17.2.2 withdraw the Monies that constitute remuneration payable to us; and

17.2.3 withdraw the Monies that we are otherwise entitled to pursuant to applicable law.

17.3 You agree that when we use the Monies for a lawful purpose as set out in this Section 17, the Monies do not belong to you and do not constitute a loan or constructive trust in favor of you.

17.4 You may only transfer funds to your Trading Account from a payment method which is registered in your name. If deposits are made into your Trading Account from a payment method not registered in your name, we reserve the right to return the funds to their origin as well as to void all Transactions executed with these funds.

17.5 If you have an open Position, and we are entitled to make a deduction for any reason as set out in the Client Agreements, that deduction may occur immediately, and the Monies will become our Monies. Conversely, if you have an open Position and we are required  to apply a credit to your Monies for any reason as set out in the Client Agreements, that credit will typically be applied to your Monies after completing our end of day reconciliations.

17.6 Whilst we remain ultimately responsible for the segregation, protection and handling of the Monies, certain operational functions relating to payment processing are outsourced to KLIPS FL Ltd (our parent company).

18. MARGIN AND DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS

18.1 In order to open a Transaction for an Instrument, you undertake to provide the Initial Margin in your Trading Account. In order to keep a Transaction open, you undertake to ensure that the amount in your Trading Account exceeds the Maintenance Margin. You acknowledge that the  Margin for each Instrument differs and may be changed by us in our sole discretion from time  to time. Deposits into your Trading Account can be made by wire transfer or another method of payment approved by us (for example, debit/credit card, etc.) to a bank account, or other location, as we may notify you from time to time. Based on the amount of money you have in your Trading Account, we retain the right to limit the amount and total number of open Transactions that you may wish to open or currently maintain on the Trading Platform.

18.2 Deposits for Margin and any other deposits due will, unless otherwise agreed or specified by us, be required in your base currency, based on your country of origin and as shall be specified on the Trading Platform. We shall not, and you shall not request us to, convert any monies standing to your credit or which have been paid by you into  your Trading Account in one currency to another currency.

18.3 If you have made a payment to us in a different currency, we may pass on to you all commissions  or other charges which we incur in any currency conversion.

18.4 You are aware and acknowledge that we may enquire whether you wish to increase the amount in your Trading Account by sending you a Margin Alert. A Margin Alert may be based upon a number of factors, including without limitation, your overall position with us, your account size, the number of open Transactions you have, volume traded and market  conditions. No previous Margin requirements specified by us shall preclude us from increasing  the rates of Margin without notice. It is your responsibility to monitor at all times the funds available in your Trading Account to cover any Margin required under this user Agreement and   any additional Margin that may become necessary.

18.5 In order to prevent a Position from closing due to your Trading Account being in a Margin Call, you agree to immediately satisfy any Margin Alerts, by electronic transfer to your Trading Account in the time prescribed by us. Please note that, depending on the payment method, deposits may not be reflected on your trading account instantaneously and, additionally, may  be subject to further delays if a security review is undertaken by third party payment providers or by us. Our failure on one or more occasions to enforce or exercise our right to insist on immediate payments as set forth herein will not amount to a waiver or bar to enforcement of  that right. Failure to meet the Margin Requirement at any time, or failure to make a Margin Payment when due, will result in a Force Closure of your open positions without further notice to you.

18.6 You acknowledge and agree that we may, in our sole discretion, limit your deposits to your Trading Account for credit reasons. To meet your Margin requirements in such circumstances you should reduce the total number of your open Transactions. Such deposit limits and restrictions may vary between Trading Accounts and may be based upon a number of factors, including but not limited to, country of residence, remittance source, payment methods used, frequency and amounts of monetary transactions etc. If you encounter any limitations or restrictions, you should contact us.

19. PAYMENTS AND SET-OFF

19.1 Upon completing a Transaction, and subject to any applicable adjustments for Overnight Funding as set forth in this Agreement:

19.1.1 You shall be liable for the Difference if the Transaction is:

(i) a Sell, and the closing price of the Transaction is higher than the opening price of the Transaction; or

(ii)  a Buy, and the closing price of the Transaction is lower than the opening  price of the Transaction.

19.1.2 You shall receive the Difference if the Transaction is:

(i) a Sell, and the closing price of the Transaction is lower than the opening price of the Transaction; or

(ii)  a Buy, and the closing price of the Transaction is higher than the opening price of the Transaction.

19.2 Unless we agree otherwise, all sums for which you are liable pursuant to Section 19.1 are due   immediately upon the closing price of your Transaction being determined by us and the Transaction being closed.

19.3 You hereby authorize us to automatically withdraw from the designated client money account,   and to make a corresponding deduction to the balance of your Trading Account, the amounts for which you are liable pursuant to Section 19.1upon the closing of a Transaction, or for any  other amounts due by you under this Agreement, without further notice. Any failure to enforce  our rights hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by us to enforce our rights hereunder.

19.4 Subject to any amounts for which you are liable under this Agreement and the amount of the Initial Margin, Maintenance Margin, and the Client Equity required in your Trading Account in accordance with this Agreement due to open Transactions, any money standing to the credit of your Trading Account will be remitted to you upon your request subject to minimum withdrawal amount. Where you do not make such a request, we will be under no obligation to, but may, in our absolute discretion, remit such monies to you. All bank charges incurred by us in relation to remitting funds to you howsoever arising may be deducted from your Trading Account.

19.5 The manner in which we remit monies to you will be in our absolute discretion. We require that all payments to you are transferred to an account in your name and from which you originally remitted funds to us. We may request evidence from you that such an account is in your name before effecting any payment. We may remit funds back to the payment method used for the deposit. You can make five (5) withdrawals from your Trading Account each month. For each subsequent withdrawal you request, we reserve the right to charge you a fee of USD $10 (ten US dollars) (or equivalent in the base currency) per withdrawal. Withdrawals via bank transfer may incur a charge of up to USD $6 (six US dollars) due to bank processing charges.

19.6 All account withdrawal requests are subject to a minimum withdrawal amount. The minimum withdrawal amount for all payment methods is USD $50 (fifty US dollars) (or equivalent in the base currency). Processing a withdrawal request of  less than the minimum withdrawal amount will incur a fee of USD $10 (ten US dollars) (or equivalent in the base currency).

19.7 Where you wish to close your account and have funds remaining, please note that where funds returned, a fee of USD $10 (ten US dollars) (or equivalent in the base currency) will be charged to  your Trading Account.

19.8 You shall be liable for any and all taxes, fees and assessments with respect to any Transaction  you complete on the Trading Platform. It is your obligation alone to calculate and pay all taxes  applicable to you in your country of residence, or otherwise arising as a result of your trading  activity from the use of the Trading Platform.

19.9 Notwithstanding the above, if required by applicable law, the Company shall deduct from any  payments due to you such amounts as are required by the tax authorities to be deducted in accordance with applicable laws.

19.10 A potential client warrants that such potential client has the requisite exchange control approvals in place for making a foreign investment. The potential client further warrants that it has obtained the necessary tax clearance certificate, issued by the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”), as required in line with foreign investment allowances.

19.11 It is possible that other costs, including taxes, relating to Transactions carried out on the Trading Platform may arise for which you are liable and which are neither paid via us nor imposed by us. Without derogating from your sole and entire responsibility to account for tax   due, you agree that we may deduct tax, as may be required by the applicable law, with respect to your trading activity on the Trading Platform. You are aware that we have a right of set-off  against any amounts in your Trading Account with respect to such tax deductions, and you hereby authorize us to withdraw amounts from your Trading Account with which to pay such taxes. You shall have no claim against us with regard to such deductions. You further agree that such deductions do not derogate from our rights when your Trading Account is in Margin Call under this Agreement.

19.12 It is hereby clarified that subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Difference is the only payment required by you for the use of the Trading Platform, subject to any fees applicable as  per Sections 12, 19.11 and 20. Notwithstanding the above, we reserve the right to charge additional payments in the future, upon prior notice.

19.13 We reserve the right to seek reimbursement from you, if we receive a charge-back from any credit card issuer or with respect to any other payment method, for any reason. We may obtain  such reimbursement by charging your Trading Account, deducting amounts from future payments owed to you, charging your credit card or obtaining reimbursement from you by any other lawful means.

19.14 In situations where the company suspects that you have abused the Trading Platform, we reserve the right to seek reimbursement from you if Transactions conducted on your account   result in a recurring need for the Company to cover losses. We may obtain such reimbursement by charging your Trading Account, deducting amounts from future payments owed to you or obtaining reimbursement from you by any other lawful means.

19.15 Should your country of residence have or enact regulations or laws which restrict the use of currency or require you to report receipts and payments of that currency to a regulator or legal authority, you agree that you will fulfil any reporting obligations or obtain any required consents or approvals which may arise as a result of your use of the Trading Platform or associated transactions.

19.16 Where possible, KLIPS SA will ordinarily remit money using the same method and to the same source from which it was received. We reserve the right to decline or cancel a withdrawal request with a specific payment method and suggest another payment method for which you will need to proceed with a new withdrawal request and supply further supporting documentation, upon request, for our internal checks and proper processing of the withdrawal  request.

19.17 Withdrawals from your Trading Account are carried out within a minimum of one (1) business day and up to three (3) business days upon receipt of the withdrawal request. Please note, however, that withdrawals may be subject to additional processing time depending on the procedures of the third-party remitters, the banking institutions and the jurisdictions in question. Withdrawals may be subject to further delays if a security review is undertaken by third party providers or by us. Following receipt of a withdrawal instruction, the request is processed, and the requested withdrawal amount will be deducted from your Trading Account  balance. During such time and until the withdrawal request is in the status “Approved in progress”, the withdrawal request can be cancelled by you (DIRECTLY OR IMPLICITLY BY OPENING NEW POSITIONS WITH THOSE FUNDS). Until the withdrawal request is in status “Approved Settled” it can be cancelled by us and can be used to satisfy your liabilities for any  Margin Alerts or Transactions that occurred during such time, pursuant to Section 19.1in conjunction with the terms of Section 19.3.

20. INACTIVITY FEE

20.1  By virtue of the fact that the KLIPS SA Derivatives Trading Platform is provided to you regardless of actual use, a fee of up to USD $10 (ten US dollars) may be payable by you if there is no login detected on your    account for a period of at least 3 (three) months. This fee will continue to be charged monthly as long        as there is no login detected on your account. The inactivity fee will be equal to the lesser of  your account equity or USD $10 (ten US dollars) (or equivalent depending on your chosen currency). You agree  that we may deduct this fee from any funds held by us on your behalf.

20.2  Upon assessment of the Inactivity Fee, your Trading Account may be closed.

21. IDENTITY CHECKS

21.1 In addition to our rights under Section 5.4 of this Agreement we may disclose your name, residential address and your date of birth to the credit reporting body.

21.2 By entering into this Agreement, you consent to us or our agents making a verification request to a Credit  reporting body to assist in verifying your identity and to the disclosure of your personal information for this purpose.

21.3 If you do not wish for your personal information to be disclosed to a Credit reporting body, you must notify us prior to us making the verification request, and we will provide you with an alternative means of verifying your identity.

CHAPTER IV – GENERAL TERMS RELATING TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU

22. TERM, TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION

22.1 You have the right to cancel the Client Agreements and the use of the Trading Platform by providing us with fourteen (14) days written notice in advance and only if you have not instructed any Transactions on the Trading   Platform. Such cancellation period will be deemed to begin on the day we receive your written notice.

22.3.1 the other party fails to make any payment when due under the client agreements; or

22.3.2 the other party dies, become of unsound mind, is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, is subject to proceedings for sequestration (if an individual) initiated by a third party, an administrator or receiver is appointed in respect of such other party or its  assets, or such other party makes an arrangement or composition with its creditors or any other similar or analogous procedure is commenced in respect of such other party.

22.4 We may immediately terminate the Client Agreements by providing written notice if:

22.7 If you have committed an Event of Default or breach of warranty or we decide to terminate the Client Agreements pursuant to Section 22.5, we may, in our absolute discretion, at any time and without prior notice:

The “bid price” is the price at which we are willing to buy the underlying asset from you and the “offer price” is the price at which we are willing to sell to you. Taking the example of a foreign currency trade, we buy currency on the wholesale market and sell it to you after building in a spread. We also buy currency from clients and sell it to other clients after building in a spread. The price difference of this spread will depend on factors such as the size and value of the transaction and prevailing market rates. This spread is paid by you, but is incorporated into the quoted rates and is not an additional charge or fee payable by you above those quoted rates. We earn a spread whenever you trade with us. Of course, all buying and selling is notional, because we typically do not actually deliver the currency. We offer a platform that lets you trade currencies.
Commission	KLIPS SA does not charge dealing commissions.
Currency Conversion Fee	KLIPS SA will charge a Currency Conversion Fee when you trade an instrument denominated in a different currency to  that of your account currency. Our Currency Conversion Fee is currently up to 0.5% (zero point five percent) of the realized Net Profit and Loss for such position and it is reflected in real time.
Daily Overnight Funding	You may earn or pay interest, (Overnight Funding rate) by  entering and holding a Derivative contract after a certain time in  the day has passed. An Overnight Funding adjustment is either added to or subtracted from your account to cover the benefit/cost of the associated funding. The Overnight Funding Time for each instrument is shown under the details tab on the Trading Platform. The Overnight Funding you earn or pay depends on the type and size of products that you buy or sell, and the duration of the position. The Overnight Funding is a percentage of the Position value. When trading Share Derivatives, the Position value is calculated every day based on the Trade size multiplied by the Daily Close Rate (the average [(Buy+Sell)/2] of the last  quote 30 (thirty) minutes before the Overnight Funding time) and multiplied by the Point Value. Otherwise, the Position value is calculated at the position opening by multiplying the Trade size by the opening rate and by the Point Value. To view the Overnight Funding and “% (percent) per day” for a specific instrument, go to the main lobby screen, select the instrument required and press details on the far right of the  row. We may adjust Overnight Funding rates at any time based on market conditions. This may affect both new and existing open positions. If the Overnight Funding rate is adjusted for an open position, it will be applied from then on, based on the updated position value. Your account balance will be automatically credited or debited with overnight funding at the daily overnight funding time. Weekends and holidays: i f a position is opened on a Friday and held overnight until the following Monday (being the next trading day) the overnight funding adjustment added to or subtracted from an account is three times the daily amount to cover the entire weekend period. If a position is opened during a holiday period, the Overnight Funding adjustment will be added or subtracted during that period until you close the position
Conversion cost	Your account balance is always denominated in South   African Rand (ZAR), unless you have specified you wish to maintain your balance in another (home) currency. When you trade we convert the asset currency into your own currency with the rate available in the currency pair in our trading platform. When:1. Close Position – we will convert the Net Profit and Loss (P&L) to your own currency at the moment the position is closed – until then the position P&L is valued in its asset currency. 2. Open Position – we will convert the Initial Margin and Maintenance Margin to your base currency at the time when the position is opened. Example of conversion: Your balance is AUD $100 (one hundred Australian dollars). You open a 500 EUR (five hundred euros) VodaFone position and make a net loss of -10 EUR (ten euros). VodaFone: Initial Margin 10% (ten percent), Maintenance Margin 2% (two percent). In our platform EUR/AUD pair is quoted: 1.2562 (one point two five six two) /1.2572 (one point two five seven two) Initial Margin = 500 EUR (five hundred euros) * 0.1 (zero point one)* 1.2572 (one point two five seven two) = AUD $62.86 (sixty two Australian dollars and eighty six cents) Maintenance Margin = 500 EUR (five hundred euros)* 0.02 (zero point zero two)* 1.2572 (one point two five seven two) = AUD $12.57   (twelve Australian dollars and fifty seven cents) margins won’t change for this position even if rates change. Net loss = -10 EUR (ten euros)* 1.2572(one point two five seven two) = AUD $-12.57(twelve Australian dollars and fifty seven cents) Your new balance: AUD $100 (one hundred Australian dollars)- AUD $12.57 (twelve Australian dollars and fifty seven cents)= AUD $87.43 (eighty seven Australian dollars and forty three cents)
Interest on client money	We place client money into our Segregated Funds Account   which is a client trust account. We are entitled to earn any interest (which is calculated daily) on positive balances in the client trust account and do not pay it on to clients.
Credit card payment	We will not charge you a fee for accepting a credit-card  payment from you.
Withdrawal	All account withdrawal requests are subject to a minimum withdrawal amount. The minimum withdrawal amount for is USD $100 (one hundred US dollars) (or equivalent). Processing a withdrawal request of less than the minimum withdrawal amount will incur a fee of USD $10 (ten US dollars) (or equivalent). Where you wish to close your account and have funds remaining, please note that funds returned via Credit Card (where your Credit Card is refundable) do not incur an additional fee (or the fee is minimal and will be absorbed by KLIPS SA in these instances). However, where funds are returned via other methods (e.g. Bank Transfer, PayPal, etc.) a fee of USD $10 (ten US dollars) (or equivalent) will be charged to your trading account.
Inactivity Fee	Fees may be payable by you by virtue of the fact that the Trading Platform is continually provided to you for trading  in Derivatives, regardless of your actual use. If there are no log-ins on your account for a period of at least three months, you will be liable to pay an Inactivity Fee. The Inactivity Fee will be equal to the lesser of the remaining balance in your      account or USD $10 (ten US dollars) levied monthly and in the currency of your account. Upon assessment of the Inactivity Fee your account may also be closed.

4. RISK

4.1 Trading FX Contracts are highly speculative, potentially involving a significant risk of loss and are  not suitable for all investors.

4.2 Clients for whom FX contracts may be suitable include   those Clients who:

• understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal and other risks involved;
• are experienced and knowledgeable about trading in Forex Trading and in underlying asset types; and
• are financially able to assume losses significantly in excess of margin or deposits because investors may lose the total value of the contract not just the margin or the deposit.

4.3 When trading on Forex currency pairs the loss can be substantial as you could lose more than your Initial Amount invested and any additional amounts, including Margin Adjustment Payments, paid into the Margin Account. If the market moves against a long or short FX position, you could, in a relatively short time, sustain more than a total loss of Margin in your Margin Account. The Company will cover any loss accrued that is more than your initial amount.

4.4 NO GUARANTEES

4.4.1 The risks associated with investing in Forex Investments are that there are no guarantees of profit or of avoiding losses when trading FX Contracts. Client has received no such guarantees from the Company or from any of its representatives. Due to market conditions which may cause any unusual and rapid market price fluctuations, or other circumstances, the Company may be unable to close out Client’s position at the price specified by Client and the risk controls imposed by the Company may not be effective and Client agrees that the Company will bear no liability for a failure to do so.

4.4.2 When a Client trades online (via the internet), the Company shall not be liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses, caused, directly or indirectly, by any malfunction, disruption or failure of any transmission, communication system, computer facility or trading software, whether belonging to the Company, customer, any exchange or any settlement or clearing system.

4.4.3 Client is aware that the Company is not reachable by telephone. Client shall place his/her order through the Company’s Site.

4.4.4 Should Platform quoting error occur (including responses to Client requests) the Company, is not liable for any resulting errors in account balances and reserves the right to make necessary corrections or adjustments to the relevant Margin account. Any dispute arising from such quoting errors will be resolved on the basis of the fair market value, as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion and acting in good faith, of the relevant market at the time such an error occurred. In cases where the prevailing market represents prices different from the prices the Company has posted on our screen, the Company will attempt, on a best-efforts basis, to execute transactions on or close to the prevailing market prices. These prevailing market prices will be the prices which are ultimately reflected on the Client statements. This may or may not adversely affect the Client’s realised and unrealised gains and losses.

4.5 CURRENCY RISK

4.5.1 Investing in FX / a foreign currency denominated investment instrument, including a foreign currency deposit with an underlying asset listed in a currency other than your base currency entails a currency risk, due to the fact that when the FX Contract/is settled in a currency other than your base currency, the value of your return may be affected by its conversion into the base currency.

4.6 EVENT RISK

4.6.1 The Company’s Platform provides immediate transmission of the Client’s order (Market Order) once the Client enters the notional amount and clicks “Buy/Sell.” This means that there is no opportunity to review the Market Order after clicking “Buy/Sell” and Market Orders cannot be cancelled or modified. This feature may be different from other trading systems you have used. Client should utilize the demo trading system to become familiar with the Platform before actually trading online with the Company Client acknowledges and agrees that by using the Company, Client agrees to the one-click system and accepts the risk of this immediate transmission/execution feature.

4.6.2 WHERE THE COMPANY PROVIDES GENERIC MARKET RECOMMENDATIONS, SUCH GENERIC RECOMMENDATIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION OR INVESTMENT ADVICE AND HAVE NOT CONSIDERED ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES. Each decision by a Client, to enter into a foreign currency denominated investment instrument, including a foreign currency deposit with the Company and each decision as to whether a transaction is appropriate or proper for Client, is an independent decision made by the Client.

4.6.3 Klips SA will not vote on behalf of Clients. The rendering of financial services will be on a self-directed account basis only.

4.7 OPERATIONAL RISK

Client agrees that the Company has no fiduciary duty to Client and no liability, in connection with, and is not responsible for any liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with Client following the Company generic trading recommendations or taking or not taking any action based upon any generic recommendation or information provided by the Company.
