An offer will be deemed to have been completed only when your offer has been received and accepted by us. Our acceptance of an offer will be evidenced by our confirmation of its terms to you and its completion.

14.2. The following rules apply to Orders and their execution:
a. Orders should be placed over the Trading Platform under normal circumstances. We will generally not accept any orders from any other medium;
b. in the event of a Trading Platform failure within our usual trading hours (details of which are set out on Website) closing orders only may be placed over the telephone and other live communication mediums if we are able to verify your identity. We may refuse to accept any opening orders over the telephone and other live communication mediums;

d. we shall only accept, monitor and execute Orders during our usual trading hours for the relevant market (details of which are set out on the Website);

f. all Orders must be at price levels and on other terms acceptable to us (acting reasonably);
g. the price level at which orders are executed is NOT guaranteed;

14.3. You may request to cancel or amend a Transaction at any time prior to our completing such a Transaction.

14.5. You shall comply with any restrictions that we notify to you from time to time with respect to your activities on the Trading Platform, including without limitation, the size of Transactions or other conditions that may apply to our Quote. You acknowledge that we may offer to and impose on each Client, in our sole discretion, different terms and restrictions with respect to their use of the Trading Platform.

14.6. You acknowledge that the Trading Platform is independent of any Underlying Markets and we are under no obligation to quote a particular price or follow the trading rules consistent with such Underlying Markets. You further acknowledge that the triggering of your Order is linked to the prices quoted on the Trading Platform, not the prices quoted elsewhere on the relevant Underlying Markets and the Company does not guarantee that when executing an Order its price will be more favourable than one which might be available elsewhere. In determining whether the prices quoted on the Trading Platform reach or exceed the price accepted by us in a Transaction, we will be entitled (but not obliged), in our absolute discretion, to disregard any prices quoted on our Platform during any pre-market, post-market or intra-day auction periods in the relevant Underlying Markets, during any intra-day or other period of suspension in the relevant Underlying Markets, or during any other period that in our reasonable opinion may give rise to short-term price spikes or other distortions. Our prices may differ from the current prices on the relevant Underlying

Markets and you acknowledge that a Transaction may be triggered even though:
(a) an Underlying Market never traded at the level of your Transaction; or
(b) the Underlying Market 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 Underlying Markets.

14.7. When you place an Order on the Trading Platform, you agree that you are not dealing a recognized exchange.

14.8. You undertake and agree not to use the prices quoted on the Trading Platform for any purpose other than for your own trading purpose, and you agree not to redistribute our prices to any other person whether such redistribution is for commercial or other purposes.

You acknowledge and agree that we may set, in our sole and absolute discretion, the "Unit Amount" for each Underlying Asset.

14.11. You may request a Quote to open or close a Position for a particular Underlying Asset, at any time during the Trading Hours for such Underlying Asset. We will be under no obligation to but may, in our absolute discretion, provide a Quote and accept and act on your offer to open or close a Position for an Underlying Asset outside of the Trading Hours of such Underlying Asset. In some cases, Transactions may only be traded during the time when the relevant Underlying Market is open. Trading Hours are displayed on the Trading Platform under the details link for each specific Underlying Asset. It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of which Underlying Asset may be affected.

14.12. Without prejudice to any of our right hereunder, if, prior to the acceptance of your Order to open or close a Position, we become aware that any of the factors set out in paragraph 14.13 herein, have not been met, we reserve the right to reject your Order outright. If we have, nevertheless, already opened or closed a Position prior to becoming aware that a factor set out in paragraph 14.13 herein has not been met, we may in our discretion, either treat such a Transaction as void from the outset or close the Open Position at our then prevailing price. However, we may, in our absolute discretion, allow you to open or, as the case may be, close the Open Position in which case you will be bound by the opening or closure of such Position, notwithstanding that the factors in paragraph 14.13 herein were not satisfied.

14.15. The Company is under no obligation, unless otherwise agreed in the Agreement, to monitor or advise the Client on the status of any Transaction or to close out any Client’s Open Positions. When the Company decides to do so, this will be done on a discretionary basis and will not be considered an undertaking of an obligation to continue. It is the Client’s responsibility to be aware of his positions at all times.

14.16. 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, our policy is to close out any customer open positions at the market price immediately prior to the event taking place. As a result of such event, if any Underlying Asset becomes subject to an adjustment as the result of a takeover or transformation action we shall determine the appropriate adjustment to be made to the contract price or contract quantity as we consider appropriate to account for the diluting or concentrating effect of the action. Such adjustment shall represent the economic equivalent of the rights and obligations of us and you immediately prior to the action.

14.17. Insolvency. If a company, whose Underlying Asset forms the CFD goes into insolvency or is otherwise dissolved, we shall close any such of your open Transactions in CFD of that Underlying Asset. The closing date shall be the date of insolvency.

The exercise of our right to force close your Open Positions will not result in termination of your Trading Account or of this Agreement, unless we send you a notice of termination.

15.2. We may specify on the Trading Platform expiration times and dates for various Underlying Assets traded on the Trading Platform. If the Trading Platform specifies such a time of expiration for an Underlying Asset, you hereby authorize us to close any open Transactions with respect to such an Underlying Asset at the price quoted on the Trading Platform at such time.
