    1. FXTRADING.com will establish one or more Accounts in respect of the Financial Products or financial services it provides to you. An Account may comprise one or more sub-accounts (each referred to as a Trading Account), including sub-accounts relevant to Financial Products or financial services provided by more than one FXTRADING.com entity. Transactions entered into by you pursuant to these terms will be recorded in the relevant Account or sub-account established by FXTRADING.com for that Financial Product or financial service. Unless you have specifically requested FXTRADING.com to open separate Accounts, you will be taken to have only one Account, with Transactions in respect of each Financial Product or financial service provided to you being recorded in a sub-account of that Account.
    2. The calculations, reporting and administration may be performed by FXTRADING.com separately for each Account or sub-account, so that (without limitation):

      (a) Margin calculations may be managed and enforcement action may be taken for each Account or sub-account separately; and

      (b) FXTRADING.com may at any time aggregate one or more Accounts or sub-accounts (for reporting or managing Margins or otherwise for the purposes of these terms), even if you cannot immediately access reports for aggregated Accounts or sub-accounts.

    3. FXTRADING.com may set off any amount owing by you (including any negative balance in one or more Accounts or sub-accounts) against any amount FXTRADING.com owes you in any other Account or other sub-account, without notice. FXTRADING.com may choose, in its absolute discretion, which Financial Products, cash, or account balance or other property to apply to offset the debt. For the avoidance of doubt, this right of set off (and other rights of set off under these terms) apply in respect of rights and obligations across more than one Account or sub-account even if the FXTRADING.com entity in respect of those Accounts or sub-accounts are different. You agree that FXTRADING.com may apply the set off as among one or more Accounts including any sub-Accounts, before Default and on and following Default.
    4. The Overall Balance of your Account or sub-account may reflect any such aggregation or set off any debt or other amount owing from time to time.
    5. All Accounts and sub-accounts will be denominated in Australian dollars unless we agree with you that one or more Accounts or sub-accounts may be denominated in a foreign currency. You may only instruct FXTRADING.com to effect a Transaction denominated in another currency if you have established a relevant Account or sub-account denominated in that currency. FXTRADING.com will not convert any Transaction or any Account or sub-account balance from one currency to another without an express instruction from you to do so.
    6. You must maintain Margin in the currency of the relevant sub-account, even if FXTRADING.com converts that Margin into Australian dollars for the purposes of managing reports about your Accounts. The conversion for reporting will be at the rate determined by FXTRADING.com and that rate will not represent any actual conversion or agreed rate for actual conversion.
    7. You must maintain Margin for Foreign Exchange Transactions in the Term Currency. If you do not have Margin in the Term Currency in your Account (or relevant sub-account) or your Account (or relevant sub-account) has a negative account balance in the Term Currency but you have sufficient funds in another currency (at the current market rate), FXTRADING.com may allow those other funds to be used to offset the required Margin. FXTRADING.com may withdraw that permission at any time, without reason or prior notice to you.
    8. A client may be comprised of two or more persons. If the client is comprised of more than one person then the Account will be deemed to be held by the persons as joint tenants despite any actual or constructive notice to FXTRADING.com of any partnership or other agreement between the persons. The joint holding will be only be deemed not to be held as joint tenants if FXTRADING.com expressly agrees that in writing that the persons consisting the client hold the Account as tenants in common in equal shares or by a court determination of that it is not held as joint tenants.
  4. Calculations and Valuations
    1. The Overall Balance of an Account will be determined by FXTRADING.com on the basis of:

      (c) Margin payments received and credited;

      (d) Unrealised Profit & Loss;

The value of the Withdrawable Funds is the amount calculated by FXTRADING.com as the total amount of cash which would be paid to you (and debited form the cash balance of the Account) if requested. The amount is subject to final adjustment by FXTRADING.com at any time including immediately after payment of cash to you for appropriate reflection of the total value of the Account, including changes in value or level of Underlying Securities, interest rates, currency rates, and unposted (or unreported) but accrued Finance Charges or Transaction Charges. Withdrawable Funds may also be reported as the “cost to close” a Transaction, according to the method of dealing.
    5. FXTRADING.com may from time to time calculate and report the Unrealised Profit & Loss for an Account (Unrealised Profit & Loss). Unrealised Profit & Loss is the indicative amount of net profit or loss of an Account calculated by FXTRADING.com (including by On-line Services) by reference to prevailing market prices and so:

      (a) may be adjusted by FXTRADING.com at any time without notice; and

      (b) is not definitive and so does not assure you that the Transactions in that Account will have that value if actually terminated or sold at that particular time or at a later time.

    6. Terms and expressions used in these terms for reporting and calculating amounts may differ from time to time from terms or expressions used in On-line Services usage or desk usage or market practice. You should have regard to the statements, Confirmations, guides and dealing practices used from time to time.
    7. If the composition or calculation of an Underlying Security is adjusted by its issuer, regulator or sponsor, FXTRADING.com will make such adjustment to the Transaction at the time determined by FXTRADING.com which reasonably preserves the intended economic effect of the Transaction, but without being obliged to consider your particular circumstances or any adjustments made by any other Market Participant. FXTRADING.com need not give notice of the adjustment. If the Underlying Security becomes subject to a take-over bid, a take-over offer, scheme of arrangement or other mechanism for change in control, then FXTRADING.com may elect to Close Out the Transaction on a new Closing Date determined by FXTRADING.com.
    8. For CFD Transactions, ordinarily the Long Party will be credited with an amount equal to the gross unfranked amount of any dividend payable to the Holder of the Underlying Security (as determined by FXTRADING.com) and the Short Party will be debited with an amount equal to the gross unfranked amount of any dividend payable to the Holder of the Underlying Security (as determined by FXTRADING.com).

    2. We will use our reasonable endeavours to execute your instructions. Without limiting clause 13, we will not be responsible for delays or errors in the transmission or execution of your instructions (except to the extent that responsibility cannot be excluded by law).
    3. We may refuse to accept an Order and we may place a limit on any Order or place other conditions on the receipt of instructions or Orders, in our absolute discretion and for any reason. We may at any time use, add and change filters within a trading system which prevent delivery of Orders or execution of Orders. We will notify you of any refusal or limitation as soon as reasonably practicable, unless we are prevented by law or a direction from a regulatory authority from notifying you.
    4. We may cancel or amend an Order:

      (a) if required by a relevant Financial Market or CS Facility or Applicable Law to do so or if a Hedge Counterparty is required to do so in respect of its hedge which corresponds with the Hedge Contract corresponding with your Transaction;

      (b) in the event of an error;

      (c) if we consider the cancellation appropriate, having regard to the desirability to maintain a fair and orderly market, our obligations as the holder of a financial services licence or as a participant or user of the relevant Financial Market and our other legal and regulatory obligations; or

      (d) if the Financial Product the subject of the Transaction has been subject to a trading halt on a Financial Market and you have not reconfirmed instructions.

      You acknowledge that an Exchange has a range of powers, including the power to cancel or amend a Transaction. This power can be exercised without your permission or our agreement.

    5. We will make reasonable efforts to effect any instructions to cancel or amend Orders as quickly as possible. If, however, an Order is filled prior to a cancellation or amendment instruction being effected, you are obliged to accept the Transaction on the original terms prior to your amendment or cancellation instruction, unless the Transaction is itself cancelled or amended.

      (c) have material price sensitive information relating to the relevant Financial Products if the individuals processing your Order are prevented from knowing or taking into account such information (including, but not limited to, by reason of procedures known as “Chinese walls”); or

      (d) have a potential conflict of interest or duties including, for example, a conflict of interest of which you are not aware and which we are unable to disclose to you.

    7. Notwithstanding any rule of law or equity to the contrary, FXTRADING.com is not disqualified from contracting with any person and no contract, transaction or arrangement in which FXTRADING.com is in any way interested is avoided or rendered voidable by virtue of your agreement with us, a Transaction or any Market Agreement. FXTRADING.com is not liable to account to you for any profit realised by any such contract, transaction or arrangement in connection with these terms, a Transaction or a Market Agreement. FXTRADING.com is not required to make any disclosure to you concerning any such contract, transaction or arrangement.
    8. We and our related bodies corporate may enter into Transactions with you as principal, whether in respect of Financial Products able to be traded on a Financial Market or in respect of over-the-counter Transactions such as Derivatives or Foreign Exchange related Transactions. If permitted by law and the Rules, we or an associate may take the opposite position in a Transaction with you. Your Orders may match opposite Orders of another person who is our client, and this may entitle us to receive commission from both sides of the Transaction. Similarly, if we deal as principal, then your Orders may match opposite Orders entered by us as principal or as agent for others and you authorise us to charge you commission in respect of your Transaction in those circumstances.
    9.

    10. Unless otherwise specified in these terms, all Orders will remain open until either cancelled by you or purged by the trading system or the On-line Service for the relevant Financial Market. An Order or unfilled part of an Order will be purged from the date of the Order entry or such earlier time as determined by FXTRADING.com without having to notify you of that. Once an Order has partially traded, only the remaining volume can be cancelled and you remain liable for the volume traded. We do not accept responsibility for reinstating lapsed Orders or for contacting you to seek new instructions.
    11. If a security code or identifier changes, you are responsible for replacing all live and contingent Order codes with the new relevant security code or identifier. We will not be responsible for any live or contingent Orders with the incorrect security code or identifier.
    12. You must not instruct us to submit an Order to enter into a Transaction which would breach or cause us or any other person to breach the Financial Products Law, the Rules or any other Applicable Laws including, without limitation, any law or the Rules in relation to:

      (e) market manipulation, false trading, market rigging, fictitious transactions, wash trading or matching of Orders;

      (f) insider trading;

Your instructions to FXTRADING.com to enter into a Transaction, your Order to FXTRADING.com to enter into the Transaction and the Transaction remains valid and enforceable against you, without affecting your other liability to FXTRADING.com even if you (or your Authorised Person) are not authorised by your own rules (such as a corporate or trust constitution or an investment management agreement).
    14. You agree not to make any Claim against FXTRADING.com for any Loss incurred or suffered by you which arises, directly or indirectly, whether reasonably foreseeable or not, in connection with the exercise of any power by an Exchange pursuant to the Exchange Rules (whether or not directly affecting a Hedge Contract corresponding with your Transaction).

      (i) all administration fees, including but not limited to fees associated with returned cheques, payment processing, Short Message Service (SMS), debt collection and telephone transcript copies from your Account with FXTRADING.com during the full term of these terms while you use such services; and

      (c) withdraw from the Client Moneys Trust Account and pay ourselves the amount of any other amount reimbursable in accordance with these terms; and

      (d) deduct from the Account any amount reimbursable in accordance with these terms.

    7. You must reimburse FXTRADING.com for all fees (both direct and indirect) and expenses charged in connection with any Transaction (other than Tax on the income of FXTRADING.com) and for all costs and expenses incurred by FXTRADING.com in implementing these terms and in enforcing its rights under these terms (including its legal costs of external or internal legal advisers on a full indemnity basis).
    8. The rolling of a Transaction to a forward date (regardless of whether the existing or new position is a spot or forward position) is a new Transaction. A Transaction Fee is payable in respect of each Transaction.
    9. FXTRADING.com may charge a Finance Charge on an Account at any time chosen by FXTRADING.com, such as (without limitation):

      (a) either immediately at the time of entering into the Transaction;

      (b) at day’s end, or month’s end;

      (c) at a rollover of the Transaction;

      (d) at end of the Transaction; or

      (e) at any other time after entering into the Transaction.

    10. You remain liable to pay the Finance Charge even though:

      (a) the charge may be called other things from time to time, even across different Accounts at the same time;

      (b) the charge is not stated on a statement for an account or interim confirmation for a Transaction;

      (c) the charges differ according to whether the Transaction was made offline or on-line;

      (d) the charges differ according to the amount of the Account, regardless of the amount or value of the Account;

      (e) different rates apply at the same time to other clients’ accounts;

      (f) the charge is applied at rollover but is not levied or enforced until termination of the Transaction;

      (g) the Transaction is denominated in a currency other than Australian dollars or the Term Currency; and

      (h) the rates will be as determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion.

    11. The Finance Charge may be an amount owing by you to FXTRADING.com or, if applicable, by FXTRADING.com to you, in respect of a Transaction, and may be applied from day to day or at other times determined by FXTRADING.com. The rate payable by FXTRADING.com to you on a Finance Charge may be less than the rate for a Finance Charge payable by you to FXTRADING.com. The net Finance Charges payable by you to FXTRADING.com will take into account the accumulated Finance Charges for a Transaction and the aggregate Finance Charges for an Account.
    12. If Foreign Exchange Transactions are “rolled over” or “swapped”, you will be charged or will be entitled to receive a Finance Charge at the daily rollover rate determined by FXTRADING.com. The rollover rate is the interest rate differential between the two applicable currencies. The Finance Charge ordinarily is calculated and applied by way of being added to the Transaction amount (“forward points”) which will therefore vary depending on a number of factors including (but not limited to):

      (a) the currency pair you are trading;

      (b) the applicable interest rates in the interbank markets according to the period of the rollover that is the interest rates offered for each currency pair (paid or earned);

      (c) the size of the Transaction;

      (d) the standard FXTRADING.com fees that may apply; and

      (e) other factors, all as determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion.

    13. The forward points can either be:

      (a) accumulated as an offset to your Account balance and will be directly debited or credited to your Account balance on settlement date; or

      (b) reflected in the Price at which the Open Contract is rolled forward, that is, it is included in the Price (or rate at which the contract is rolled) and debited or credited to your Account balance on its settlement date.

  7. CLIENT MONEYS

If you pay moneys into any Client Moneys Trust Account maintained by FXTRADING.com in anticipation of you creating and meeting any liability, obligation or other Loss which you will owe to FXTRADING.com including to pay for your Financial Products (including payment for Margin) before that liability or obligation has arisen, by these terms you authorise and direct FXTRADING.com to withdraw those moneys to pay FXTRADING.com on the basis that the paid amount must be credited to your Account.

  8. Settlement of transactions
    1. The date and time for settlement of a Transaction is the date and time specified on the relevant Confirmations.
    2. Before placing an Order with us to purchase Financial Products or to enter into a Transaction which requires you to pay an amount of money to settle the Transaction, you must, if required by FXTRADING.com, ensure FXTRADING.com is able to access cleared funds in a Client Moneys Trust Account or through a margin lending facility either provided by us or by another provider acceptable to us, sufficient to cover that amount, any fees (including our brokerage), Finance Charges, Transaction Fees and any other amounts required to meet your obligations in respect of the Order. If that requirement is imposed by FXTRADING.com, from the time of placing the Order you may not withdraw from the Client Moneys Trust Account money required to settle the Transaction and you acknowledge that we may take steps to ensure that does not happen. We are not required to issue to you any Financial Products until we have received payment in full for the relevant Transaction.
    3. The proceeds of a Transaction to which you are entitled under these terms and which are under the control of FXTRADING.com will be paid in accordance with Applicable Laws and these Terms.

      (a) pass on to or charge you all costs incurred by us as a result of that failure;

      (b) charge an administration fee calculated by reference to the additional cost which we estimate has been or is reasonably likely to be incurred by us as a result of your failure to settle (even though we have not yet incurred that additional cost at the time of charging you for that);

      (c) charge interest at the Base Rate plus 4% per annum on any debit balances resulting from your failure to settle any Transaction;

      (d) charge interest at the Base Rate plus 4% per annum on any other amount you owe which is outstanding from time to time;

      (g) apply any cash held by us or to which we have access, or payments received for or from you, whether held in a Client Moneys Trust Account or otherwise, to reduce your liability to us;

      (h) cancel any of your unexecuted Orders; and

We may deduct any of the amounts contemplated in this clause 9 (and any GST) from any sale proceeds or other amounts otherwise payable to you.
  10. Cancellation of transactions
    1. Applicable Laws may give the operator of a Financial Market or CS Facility the power to cancel, amend or require the cancellation or amendment of a Transaction. If FXTRADING.com determines that affects the Hedge Contract corresponding with your OTC Financial Product, FXTRADING.com cancel or amend your OTC Financial Product without your permission.
    2. You authorise us, and agree that we may, without your consent, cancel or amend (or request or agree to the cancellation or amendment of) any Transaction:

      (a) if a Financial Market or CS Facility exercises any power under their respective operating rules to cancel or amend (or require the cancellation or amendment of) a transaction that corresponds with your OTC Financial Product;

      (b) in the event of an error (if relevant, as defined in the Rules of the relevant Financial Market) or otherwise in circumstances required or contemplated in the Rules or by Applicable Laws; or

      (c) if we consider the cancellation appropriate, having regard to the desirability to maintain a fair and orderly market and our obligations as the holder of a financial services licence or as a participant or user of the relevant Financial Market and our other legal and regulatory obligations.

    3. Your obligations under these terms in relation to the settlement of a Transaction which is cancelled in accordance with this clause cease to apply in respect of that cancelled Transaction from the time it is cancelled (whether or not we or someone on our behalf has given you a Confirmation in respect of any affected Transaction).
  11. MARGIN COVER
    1. You agree and acknowledge with each of the following:

      (a) Margin cover refers to the amount paid or payable to FXTRADING.com as it requires and which is credited to your Account (or to a Trading Account). The minimum amount of the Margin is determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion.

      (b) A Margin payment is the amount you pay FXTRADING.com for crediting your Account (or Trading Account) as Margin cover.

      (c) You must maintain at least the amount of Margin cover specified by or on behalf of FXTRADING.com from time to time, as required by FXTRADING.com, including those imposed by the requirements of On-line Services made available by FXTRADING.com to you, whether or not FXTRADING.com gives any notice to you to make those payments or you have actual notice of the required amount. The required amount of Margin cover can change continuously and can change automatically, including over the week-end or other non-trading days. Your obligation to maintain at least the required amount of Margin cover is continuous.

      (d) You have an obligation to satisfy a Margin call (in addition to your obligation to maintain Margin cover) within the required time by any combination of Closing Out positions or making payments (or both) as accepted by FXTRADING.com, in its absolute discretion. The minimum amount of the Margin call will be determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion. The payments to be made towards satisfying a Margin call must be made, as specified by FXTRADING.com from time to time to a Client Moneys Trust Account and then dealt with in accordance with these terms.

      (e) Margin calls may be made by any means of notice permitted by these terms, including by telephone call to you or your Authorised Person or by way of the On-line Service (even if you do not access your Account during the time the Margin call requires payment). You acknowledge that it is fundamental that you remain contactable by FXTRADING.com at all times by FXTRADING.com using the contact details you give FXTRADING.com from time to time and that your failure to be contactable or to receive notice of a Margin call at any contact address you give does not affect the validity of the Margin call or your obligation to satisfy it.

      (f) If no other time is stipulated by FXTRADING.com for when you must satisfy the Margin call then you must comply within 24 hours of the Margin call being made, even if you have not received it or are actually aware of it and even if the time of making the Margin call or the time for satisfying it are outside of normal working hours of a Business Day. You acknowledge that Margin calls may be payable immediately if required by FXTRADING.com.

      (g) If you fail to satisfy the Margin call by the required time, then FXTRADING.com may (without prejudice to any other rights or powers under these terms) in its absolute discretion, and without creating an obligation to do so, Close Out, without notice, all or some of your Transactions, whether or not those Transactions caused the need for more Margin cover.

      (h) The time for your payment to maintain Margin cover and to satisfy any Margin call is of the essence.

      (i) Your obligations to maintain Margin cover and to satisfy Margin calls arise at the time the Transaction is executed irrespective of the time any later Margin call is made.

      (j) It is solely your responsibility to monitor and to satisfy all Margin cover and Margin call obligations, whether or not a Margin call is notified to you.

      (k) A Margin payment is credited by FXTRADING.com at the time cleared funds have been received and credited to the account nominated by FXTRADING.com or such earlier time as allowed by FXTRADING.com, so a Margin cover requirement or a Margin call for a CFD or other OTC Transaction issued by FXTRADING.com is not satisfied unless and until your payment is received in cleared funds from the Client Moneys Trust Account as required by FXTRADING.com. Credit for the Margin payment in respect of any Financial Product issued to you by FXTRADING.com as principal to you means that you have paid FXTRADING.com and the cash balance of your Account is credited with that payment (so you do not have any beneficial interest in any funds paid to or for the account of FXTRADING.com).

      (l) Without limiting any other right of FXTRADING.com, in respect of any Financial Product issued to you by FXTRADING.com acting as principal to you, you authorise and direct, by these terms, that all of the funds which you deposit into the Client Moneys Trust Account be immediately withdrawn and paid to FXTRADING.com for its own account, towards satisfying your obligations to pay Transaction Fees, Finance Charges, to pay Margin to maintain Margin cover and to meet Margin calls and to pay all other amounts owing under these terms, even if:

      (i) your payment (after deduction for Transaction Fees, Finance Charges and other amounts owing) is in an amount less than or more than the amount required to satisfy a Margin call or to maintain the total amount of required Margin cover;

      (ii) more than one Margin call is made after your payment to a Client Moneys Trust Account;

      (iii) the required amount of Margin cover reduces after your payment to a Client Moneys Trust Account;

      (iv) there is any delay between the time you make the payment to the Client Moneys Trust Account and when FXTRADING.com makes the withdrawal;

      (v) your purport to withdraw your authority and direction but you still have at that time an obligation to FXTRADING.com to maintain an amount of Margin cover or to satisfy a Margin call which has not been satisfied; or

      (vi) you do not tell us your intended use of the Margin cover which will be directed to your Account after your payment or you change your mind after you tell us and you deal in Financial Products for a lesser value than you told us or you do not deal.

      You understand and agree that FXTRADING.com may for the purposes of this clause make regular or specific withdrawals from the Client Moneys Trust Account into which your initial payment was deposited.

      (m) Your liability in respect of Margin requirements is not limited to the amount, if any, initially paid to FXTRADING.com for your Account. You are responsible to pay in cash any deficit owing to FXTRADING.com after Close Out of a Transaction and if you default in payment of such deficit, FXTRADING.com may pay the deficit out of the Account or realise any Financial Products held by FXTRADING.com (whether or not by sale on any Exchange and, if so, for whatever price and at whatever time is chosen by FXTRADING.com in its discretion) and apply the proceeds against that deficit and you are responsible for the full and prompt discharge of the deficit (which exceeds the value of the Account) by making payment in full to FXTRADING.com immediately that deficit arises.

    2. FXTRADING.com and may make Margin calls more frequently than daily and you must fully and punctually comply with such calls.
    3. FXTRADING.com may (without notice to you) Close Out, but will not be obliged to Close Out or to attempt to Close Out, some or all Open Transactions, at that time or any later time as FXTRADING.com determines (whether in its discretion or by automatic trading platform management) if:

      (n) on any day on which you have an Open Transaction, the value of the Account and any other Margin paid by you under these terms does not exceed the required Margin cover; or

      (o) you fail to make a Margin payment by the due date and time, which may be immediately the call is made; or

      (p) at any time, and from time to time, FXTRADING.com determines that the value of all of your Open Transactions (and not taking into account any cash balance in your Account) represents a substantial net unrealised loss to you such that, in FXTRADING.com’s belief, the continued trading, or failure to Close Out, one or more of your Open Transactions will or is likely to materially prejudice your Account balance.

  12. Settlement of Open Transactions
    1. If you want to Close Out an Open Transaction earlier than by other agreement with FXTRADING.com, you must instruct FXTRADING.com accordingly with at least two (2) Business Days’ notice prior to the intended settlement date for Close Out of any Open Transaction, subject to the Rules, prevailing market conditions or as otherwise agreed with FXTRADING.com.
    2. In respect of each Open Transaction, subject to:

      (a) prior Close Out of that Open Transaction; or

      (b) the express agreement pursuant to clause 12.3 to settle that Open Transaction, FXTRADING.com is by these terms instructed:

      (c) to vary the Open Transaction (in which case it will be deemed to be a new Transaction) so that its settlement date is deferred to a Business Day to be agreed between FXTRADING.com and you (and failing agreement by 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the then applicable settlement date as agreed previously, it will be the following Business Day); and

      (d) to Close Out the Open Transaction and enter into a new Transaction for the same Underlying Security and being the same bought or sold position except that the settlement date is to be one Business Day later and adjusted for any interest differential.

    3. Subject to prior Close Out, no Transaction will be physically settled unless, in exceptional circumstances, FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion gives express prior permission to you to settle the Transaction by physical settlement of the Underlying Security (but in any case physical settlement of a Futures Transaction or a Commodities Transaction will not be permitted). If FXTRADING.com agrees to settle on that basis, then you must fully and punctually discharge all your obligations.
  13. Limitation of liability, indemnities and payments
    1. Subject to those provisions of the Financial Products Law, any other legislation and any other rights, duties or other obligations imposed or implied by law which cannot be excluded by agreement between the parties, to the extent each of the following is not prohibited by those laws:

FXTRADING.com will not have any liability as a result of a failure to issue a deal confirmation. If FXTRADING.com decides not to accept your offer to enter into a Position or Option, FXTRADING.com will advise you of that decision as soon as is practicable.

    (f) You undertake to examine the terms of each Confirmation immediately upon receipt and unless within 48 hours of issue of a written confirmation you notifies FXTRADING.com of any disputed detail in the confirmation, you agree that the contents of the confirmation, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive evidence of the executed deal. Upon receipt within those 48 hours of written notice as to a disputed detail, FXTRADING.com will investigate the matters disputed and you will co-operate with FXTRADING.com in good faith to resolve the dispute. You must, notwithstanding any such dispute, continue to satisfy your obligation to pay Margin calls made by FXTRADING.com in respect of that Position or Option as if the details contained in the confirmation were correct and not the subject of dispute.

    (g) FXTRADING.com may, in its absolute discretion, limit the value of Positions or Options you may have outstanding under these terms:

    (i) beyond which if you decide to enter into any further Positions or Options, you must seek and obtain credit approval from FXTRADING.com; and

    (ii) beyond which you may not enter into any further Positions or Options.

    (h) FXTRADING.com may vary this limit at any time by notice to you.

    (i) You may exercise an Option by notice to FXTRADING.com between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Sydney time) on any Business Day until the Expiry Date for the Option. The exercise of an Option, subject to these terms, creates the rights and obligations that constitute a Position.

    (j) FXTRADING.com is under no obligation to accept the exercise of a Bought Option until FXTRADING.com has received the Premium and brokerage required in respect of the Option in cleared funds. If FXTRADING.com exercises a Sold Option, it will credit the Premium to your Account.

    (k) You undertake to advise FXTRADING.com of your intention to take delivery of the Bought Currency at the time you offer to enter into a Position or exercises an Option and you agree that if you fail to advise of such intention, FXTRADING.com may, in its absolute discretion, allow you to unwind that Position or Option on terms acceptable to FXTRADING.com. Any notice to take delivery is irrevocable.

  5. Interest charges on positions remaining open after value date

    (a) FXTRADING.com is entitled to interest which will accrue on a daily basis and be payable daily by you in respect of a borrowing by you of the Sold Currency under a Position.

    (b) You are entitled to interest which will accrue on a daily basis and be payable daily by FXTRADING.com in respect of a borrowing by FXTRADING.com from you of the Bought Currency under a Position, from the Value Date of the Position until the date that the Position is unwound by delivery or by being Closed Out at FXTRADING.com’s prevailing rates of interest.

    (c) Interest payments will be settled by FXTRADING.com on each day by debiting or crediting your Account with the daily interest rate differential between the amount of interest payable by you under the Position and the amount of interest payable by FXTRADING.com to you under the Position. In the event that there is insufficient Excess Variation Margin in your Account, you acknowledge that any amount due under this Schedule is a debt due and owing by you to FXTRADING.com.

    (d) In debiting or crediting interest to your Account, FXTRADING.com may charge or pay you interest at a rate different to the interest rate which FXTRADING.com is charged or paid on equivalent borrowings of foreign currency by a bank and may retain the difference.

    (e) The rates of interest applicable under this Schedule may be as agreed between you and FXTRADING.com from time to time and, in the absence of such agreement, will be a rate determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion.

  6. Delivery of Positions

    (a) If you have specified that delivery is required in a notice accepted by FXTRADING.com, you must pay to FXTRADING.com on the Value Date the amount of the Sold Currency under the Position in cleared funds and following receipt by FXTRADING.com of the Sold Currency, FXTRADING.com will credit your Account the Bought Currency under the Position.

  7. Close Out of Positions and Options

    (a) Unless you have previously given a notice which has been accepted by FXTRADING.com, you may at any time give FXTRADING.com notice of your request to have all or any of its Positions or Options Closed Out. Following receipt of such a notice FXTRADING.com may at a time it chooses in its absolute discretion, enter into a matching and opposite Position or Option on your behalf. Without limiting its discretion FXTRADING.com acknowledges that this may occur as soon as practicable after the later of:

    (i) receipt from you of such notice; and

    (ii) any time and date specified in such notice at which you request the Close Out to occur, FXTRADING.com will use its best endeavours to achieve such Close Out at the Market Rate for delivery on the later of the Value Date of the original Position and the Spot Date in respect of the matching Position.

    (b) The difference (if any) between the amount of the Bought Currency under the matching Position and the amount of the Sold Currency under the original Position or, in respect of an Option the difference between the Premium paid by you for the original or matching Option and the Premium received by you for the matching or original Option respectively, if positive, will be a “Realised Profit” and, if negative, will be a “Realised Loss”.

    (c) The Closing Out of a Position or Option in accordance with this Schedule will constitute a complete discharge of all obligations of FXTRADING.com and you will give or take delivery of any currency under that Position or Option and has the effect of immediately cancelling the Position or Option so that the only obligations that continue in respect of the Position or Option are those provided for under this Schedule.

    (d) You acknowledge that if you give FXTRADING.com standing instructions to enter into a Position or Option when a particular price level is reached in the Foreign Exchange market the price at which the Position or Option is entered into might not be that exact price.

  8. Settlement of Closed Out Positions and Option

    (a) When a Position or Option is Closed Out in accordance with this Schedule which:

    (i) results in a Realised Profit, FXTRADING.com will credit your Account the Realised Profit; or

    (ii) results in a Realised Loss, you must pay to FXTRADING.com the Realised Loss in such currency as FXTRADING.com may require in cleared funds within 24 hours of being advised of the amount so payable.

    (b) If there is then sufficient Excess Variation Margin any amount owing by you under this Schedule may be settled in whole or in part by debiting your Account with FXTRADING.com.

    (c) If you have requested payment of any money owed to you under this Schedule, FXTRADING.com will (at its discretion) deduct that money from your Account and pay it to you by cheque or in such other manner as may be agreed between FXTRADING.com and you.

    (d) FXTRADING.com may set off any money owed to you under this Schedule against any money owed by you in respect of a Foreign Exchange Transaction. If such a set-off is made, references in this Schedule to Realised Profit and Realised Loss will be read as including the net amount of Realised Profit or Realised Loss (as the case may be) remaining after the set-off.

  9. Revaluations

    FXTRADING.com may at any time, by reference to the Market Rate, revalue all Positions and Options. Such revaluation will be effected in the following manner:

    (a) for the purpose of this Schedule:

    (i) an Option created by the sale by you to FXTRADING.com of a Call Option (“Sold Option”) will be treated as a Position under which the amount and denomination of the currency specified in the Call Option will be regarded as that amount of currency sold at the Strike Price of the Call Option;

    (ii) an Option created by the sale by you to FXTRADING.com of a Put Option (“Sold Option”) will be treated as a Position under which the amount and denomination of the currency specified in the Put Option will be regarded as that amount of currency bought at the Strike Price of the Put Option; and

    (iii) any other Option will be referred to as a “Bought Option”;

    (b) in order to carry out a revaluation under this Schedule, FXTRADING.com will ascertain:

    (i) in relation to each Position or Sold Option, the amount of the Sold Currency which could be purchased with the amount of the Bought Currency at the prevailing Market Rate; or

    (ii) in relation to each Bought Option, the rate at which FXTRADING.com would repurchase the Option;

    (c) if the amount calculated in accordance with sub-clause 9(b):

    (i) is greater than the amount of the Sold Currency under the Position or Sold Option or greater than the original Premium paid for a Bought Option, then the difference will represent an Unrealised Profit; and

    (ii) is less than the amount of the Sold Currency under the Position or Sold Option or less than the original Premium paid for a Bought Option, then the difference represents an Unrealised Loss; and

    (d) the sum of each Unrealised Profit will be the “Unrealised Profits” and the sum of each Unrealised Loss will be the “Unrealised Losses”.

  10. Foreign Exchange Physical Delivery Terms

    (a) These FX Physical Delivery Terms apply to Foreign Exchange Transactions for physical delivery (FX Physical Delivery Transactions) and must be read and construed together with the remainder of this Schedule.

    (b) Some terms are defined in these FX Physical Delivery Terms. Any term not defined in these FX Physical Delivery Terms has the same meaning as contained in this Schedule.

    (c) FXTRADING.com enters into an FX Physical Delivery Transaction as principal with you.

    (d) You must, at the time of placing an order with FXTRADING.com, specify that physical delivery of the Bought Currency is required. If FXTRADING.com agrees to settlement by physical delivery, the agreed Foreign Exchange Transaction will be an FX Physical Delivery Transaction on these FX Physical Delivery Terms. It is unnecessary to identify the Foreign Exchange Transaction for this purpose formally or precisely in any particular way.

    (e) The exchange rate and the time for physical delivery of the Bought Currency must be agreed between you and FXTRADING.com. The exchange rate and the time for physical delivery of the Bought Currency described in this Schedule will be stated in a Confirmation sent to the Client.

    (f) A reference in these FX Physical Delivery Terms to physical delivery is a reference to settlement by payment of the required amount of Bought Currency into a bank account as agreed by you and FXTRADING.com. The bank account for settlement will be the nominated trust account of FXTRADING.com unless otherwise agreed by you and FXTRADING.com.

    (g) Unless otherwise advised by FXTRADING.com, you must make all of its payments (Client Moneys Trust Account Moneys) for FX Physical Delivery Transactions, including any payment for Margin, into the nominated trust account of FXTRADING.com.

    (h) Unless otherwise advised by FXTRADING.com, the payments to be made by you as described in clause 10(g) must be made on or before the Trade Date.

    (i) If FXTRADING.com does not require full payment on the Trade Date, FXTRADING.com may require one or more payments for Margin. The time and the amount of each Margin payment is at the discretion of FXTRADING.com provided the total of all required Margin payments does not exceed the amount of Sold Currency which was agreed to be paid for the Bought Currency. It is confirmed that the Client Moneys Trust Account Moneys paid by you as Margin are beneficially held for you and may be dealt with in the same manner as Client Moneys Trust Account Moneys which were payment in full for a FX Physical Delivery Transaction.

    (j) FXTRADING.com will not withdraw Client Moneys Trust Account Moneys unless one or more of the following applies:

    (i) the withdrawal is to pay costs, fees or other charges in respect of the FX Physical Delivery Transaction;

    (ii) it has complied with its obligation to ensure physical delivery of the Bought Currency; or

    (iii) it has notified (orally or in writing) you of the intended withdrawal prior to doing so and it may only apply that withdrawal as payment by you to FXTRADING.com (wholly or partly) for the FX Physical Delivery Transaction and FXTRADING.com will only do that in order to satisfy (wholly or partly, as the case may be) its payment obligations under a Hedge Contract with the corresponding Hedge Counterparty.

    (k) Each FX Physical Delivery Transaction is subject to the condition subsequent of settlement actually occurring. Despite agreeing to a Foreign Exchange Transaction, FXTRADING.com will not be liable in any way if settlement does not occur (regardless of the reason) other than to pay you or as you direct the Sold Currency (without any adjustment for the failure to settle).

    (b) If the Contract Value determined by FXTRADING.com in accordance with clause 5(a) above is higher than the Contract Value determined by FXTRADING.com in respect of the previous Close of Business, then the Short Party must pay to the Long Party the difference.

    (c) If the Contract Value determined by FXTRADING.com in accordance with clause 5(a) above is lower than the Contract Value determined by FXTRADING.com in respect of the previous Close of Business, then the Long Party must pay to the Short Party the difference.

    (d) In order to determine in accordance with clause 5(b) or 5(c) the Contract Value at Close of Business on the Business Day on which the CFD is entered into, the Contract Value will be determined by FXTRADING.com using the Underlying Security Price at which FXTRADING.com and you agreed to enter into the CFD.

    (e) If FXTRADING.com determines that the Contract Value of a CFD at Close of Business cannot be determined in accordance with clause 5(a) above for any reason, the Contract Value at Close of Business will be the value determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion.

  6. Dividend Payment and Receipt

    (a) If you are the Long Party to a CFD, and the issuer of the Reference Asset makes a cash distribution in respect of the Reference Asset (for example, a dividend in respect of a Reference Asset which is a security), FXTRADING.com will credit to your Account in respect of the CFD an equivalent amount (less any Taxes and costs) within a reasonable period following the date the cash distribution is paid in respect of the Reference Asset corresponding with your CFD being the amount that will be equal to the cash dividend payable to the holder of the Underlying Security multiplied by the quantity on the first Business Day following the ex-dividend date for the Underlying Security.

    (b) If you are the Short Party to a CFD, FXTRADING.com will debit your (relevant) Account with an amount that will be equal to the cash dividend plus any imputation or franking credits payable to the holder of the Underlying Security multiplied by the quantity on the first Business Day following the ex-dividend date for the Underlying Security.

  7. Closing out a CFD

    (a) At any time you may give FXTRADING.com notice of your intention to close any CFD (whether in whole or part) by specifying the Underlying Security and the quantity of CFDs that you wish to close.

    (b) Upon receipt of notice of intent to close a CFD, FXTRADING.com will use reasonable endeavours to provide a quote for the Closing Price and notify you of that quote (by telephone or otherwise).

If you accept the Closing Price quoted by FXTRADING.com, the CFD, or relevant portion of the CFD, will be closed on the Closing Date by issuing you with a CFD which is equal but opposite to the open CFD, or relevant portion of the CFD, to be closed.

    (i) If the Closing Value is greater than the Contract Value, the Short Party must pay to the Long Party the difference; and

    (ii) If the Closing Value is less than the Contract Value, the Long Party must pay to the Short Party the difference.

    (e) If the issuer whose security represents the Underlying Security on which all or part of a CFD is based becomes externally administered in accordance with the meaning in the Financial Products Law (or equivalent legislation), the CFD will be taken to have been Closed at that time. The Closing Price of the CFD will be determined by FXTRADING.com who may consider a number of factors it deems appropriate including, for example, the last traded price of the Underlying Security.

    (f) If the Underlying Security on which the CFD is based ceases to be listed for quotation on an Exchange, or is suspended from quotation for 5 consecutive Business Days, FXTRADING.com may, in its absolute discretion, without limiting clause 7(g) elect to terminate the relevant CFD. If FXTRADING.com elects to do so then:

    (i) the Closing Date will be deemed to be the date which FXTRADING.com determines (Early Closing Date); and

    (ii) you will be treated as having given notice under clause 7(a) on the Early Closing Date.

    (g) If FXTRADING.com determines that the Closing Value of a CFD cannot be calculated on or with effect on the Closing Date for any reason, the Closing Value will be the value determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion.

    (h) Without limiting clause 7(g), if at any time trading in the Underlying Security on an Exchange is suspended or halted at any time, FXTRADING.com will, in its absolute discretion in determining the Closing Value of a CFD, have regard to (but is not limited by) the last traded price before the suspension or halt.

    (c) If there is any free equity in your Account, any amount owing by you in accordance with clause 8(b) above will be settled in whole or in part by debiting your Account with FXTRADING.com.

    (d) If you request payment of any money owed to you under this clause 8, FXTRADING.com will deduct the amount of the requested payment from your Account and pay you, electronically, by cheque or in any other manner as agreed.

    (a) If the Underlying Security on which a CFD is quoted is subject to an Adjustment Event or possible Adjustment Event, FXTRADING.com will determine the adjustment, if any, that will be made to the Contract Value of that Underlying Security, the related quantity (or both) that would have placed the parties in substantially the same economic position they would have been in had the event not occurred. FXTRADING.com will notify you as soon as practicable of the adjustment. In the absence of any manifest error any adjustment determined will be deemed to be conclusive and binding on you.

    (b) FXTRADING.com may give you an opportunity to elect to participate in an adjustment to the CFD which corresponds with the Adjustment Event, but FXTRADING.com is not obliged to give you that opportunity, or give reasonable notice of it or make its terms correspond exactly with the Adjustment Event, nor is FXTRADING.com obliged to accept in part or at all any election you make to participate.

  11. Margin Requirements

    (a) This clause 11 supplements clause 11 in the main terms of this document and only prevails over it to the extent of any inconsistency.

    (b) Prior to entering into a CFD with FXTRADING.com you acknowledge that FXTRADING.com requires you to pay cleared funds as an Initial Margin and to maintain the minimum total Margin determined by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion from time to time. The Margin cover requirements may be determined automatically by an On-line Service. The required Margin cover may change at any time, including outside of trading hours and without prior notice to you. The amount of Initial Margin required by FXTRADING.com and the time at which it is required will be at the absolute discretion of FXTRADING.com. FXTRADING.com is not obliged to permit any offset of any Initial Margin required by FXTRADING.com.

    (c) All of your payments for Margin (after withdrawal from any Client Moneys Trust Account) are received and held by FXTRADING.com absolutely for its benefit (and not on any deposit held on trust for you). At the time your payment is credited to the benefit of FXTRADING.com in cleared funds, FXTRADING.com will credit your Account with the payment of the Margin by applying it to the cash balance of the Account (or Trading Account which you nominate).

    (d) You have an absolute obligation to maintain the amount of Margin cover required by FXTRADING.com from time to time, even if FXTRADING.com also calls for more Initial Margin or Variation Margin. Your failure to maintain the required margin cover is automatically a Default.

    (e) The Initial Margin requirement applicable in respect of any CFD may be increased by FXTRADING.com in its absolute discretion in respect of the time for payment and the amount of it. In the event of such an increase FXTRADING.com may require that you pay FXTRADING.com additional cleared funds equal to such an increase.

    (f) Without affecting your obligation to maintain the required amount of Margin cover, at any time in the discretion of FXTRADING.com you may be required by FXTRADING.com to pay additional Margin (Variation Margin) by paying FXTRADING.com cleared funds equal to the amount FXTRADING.com may determine in its absolute discretion.

    (g) Without affecting your obligation to maintain the required amount of Margin cover, if FXTRADING.com requires additional funds from you to pay Variation Margin (sometimes referred to as “calling for more Margin”) or making a Margin call you must pay the amount called by FXTRADING.com by the time required by FXTRADING.com, which could be immediately. If no time is specified, the time specified for payment of a Variation Margin is within 24 hours of the Margin call being made, whether or not you actually receive notice of the Margin call. Failure to pay a Variation Margin will result in you being taken to be in Default under these terms. FXTRADING.com may require payment within a shorter time period (for example, without limitation, when there is Unusual Volatility).

    (h) Your payment into a Client Moneys Trust Account will not satisfy your obligation to make payment to FXTRADING.com in cleared funds, even if FXTRADING.com temporarily waives reliance on this term. The payment obligation is not satisfied unless and cleared funds are received for the benefit of FXTRADING.com.

    (i) In all respects, time is of the essence for all of your payment obligations to FXTRADING.com.

    (j) If FXTRADING.com increases the required Margin cover or makes a call for more Margin, you acknowledge and agree that FXTRADING.com may refuse any request by you to enter into any further CFD positions until FXTRADING.com has confirmed the receipt of the payment for more Margin in the form of cleared funds.

    (k) Any net positive amount of Margin credited to your Account will not constitute a debt due by FXTRADING.com to you. Subject to you meeting all Margin cover requirements and all Margin calls, you are entitled to be paid by FXTRADING.com an amount equal to the Withdrawable Funds and, on being paid, there will be a corresponding reduction in the balance of your Account.

    (l) You acknowledge that your liability with respect to maintaining Margin cover or to pay calls for more Margin (if any) is not limited to the amount you initially or later pay FXTRADING.com. You authorise FXTRADING.com to withdraw or otherwise apply funds or Financial Products held on your behalf by FXTRADING.com in any Account, or funds in any Client Moneys Trust Account, to satisfy partially or fully any liability you have to maintain Margin cover or to pay a Margin Call.

    (m) FXTRADING.com will have sole, absolute and unfettered discretion, as to the exercise of any power or right under this clause 11, including, without limitation, the calling of Margin.

    (n) Any power or right exercised by FXTRADING.com under this clause 11, including, without limitation, the calling of Margin, will be binding upon you.

    (o) Any reference to time under this clause 11 includes weekends and public holidays.

    (i) in accordance with clause 16 terminate these terms;

    (v) in the event of there being insufficient funds in your Account to satisfy amounts owing to FXTRADING.com (including to maintain the Margin cover), FXTRADING.com may cancel any outstanding Orders in order to close your Account;

    (vi) satisfy obligations that you have to FXTRADING.com out of any property belonging to you including, money or security in FXTRADING.com’s custody or control including, without limitation, setting off obligations such that security transferred as collateral is not required to be returned but instead the value of them (as determined by FXTRADING.com) is applied in calculation of the set-off of obligations and to enforce any asset or security held by FXTRADING.com in such manner as it sees fit at your risk and expense;

    (vii) transfer from your other accounts with FXTRADING.com, if any, such funds as may be required for that purpose to satisfy any obligation you may have to FXTRADING.com; and

    (b) FXTRADING.com does not forgo any of the rights outlined in this clause 12 incurred as a result of a delay in the exercise of such rights. If FXTRADING.com does not exercise any of its rights, it reserves the right to do so at any time in the future.

    (c) If FXTRADING.com exercises its rights under clause 12(a)(ii) or 13 (or both), you authorise FXTRADING.com to Close Out the CFDs, at your risk and expense as if you had given notice on the date that FXTRADING.com exercises its right, in accordance with clause 7.

    (d) If FXTRADING.com treats a CFD as having been terminated by you and FXTRADING.com exercises its rights in accordance with clause 12(a)(iii), FXTRADING.com will calculate the amount owing by you or by FXTRADING.com as if you had been given a Closing Notice and you had accepted the Closing Price determined by FXTRADING.com in accordance with clause 7. FXTRADING.com may debit from your Account an amount equal to the amount which would have been payable by you to FXTRADING.com had the CFD been closed at the Closing Price. It is agreed that this amount represents a reasonable pre-estimate of the damages incurred by FXTRADING.com.

    (e) Any action taken by FXTRADING.com in accordance with this clause 12 does not limit any other provision of these terms and is without prejudice to any other rights which FXTRADING.com may have to any other remedy or damages.

  13. Position Closures

    If any amounts payable by you to FXTRADING.com in accordance with a CFD entered into under these terms exceed 50% of the Margin cover required with respect to that CFD, FXTRADING.com will Close Out the CFD in accordance as if that event were a Default.

A termination of these terms will also result in the closure of all CFDs in accordance with clause 12(c) as if it were a Default. Any such termination will not relieve you of any obligations you may have to FXTRADING.com in accordance with these terms prior to its termination.

    For this clause, events include any change in law, regulation, treaty, order, official directive or ruling or in their interpretation or application by any governmental authority or agent, and the introduction, implementation, operation or taking effect of, any law, regulation, treaty, order or official directive or ruling.
