It is also important to have relevant experience when entering financial contracts and transactions. As You know, the forex, commodities, indices market is a dynamic arena and their respective prices are often highly unpredictable and volatile. In addition, use of our Services and can never be considered a safe investment rather only an investment with a high risk of loss inherently associated with it. Furthermore, our own spread is added to existing calculations and online quotes which makes a trade on our websites even more volatile.

If You do not settle a transaction performed through your account You shall be liable to Us and must indemnify Us in the amount necessary to cover the entire cost, whether indirect or direct, of the transaction. In the unlikely event that a contract is entered to acquire or sell currency at a price that does not reflect the market price (such as an event where a technical error such as a bug or defect has caused a malfunction that has affected the price of the transaction), We reserve our right to terminate and cancel any such transaction. We will notify You of our decision to cancel the transaction and explain our reasons to You. On the other hand, You are required to inform Us of any such malfunction should You experience such a malfunction whilst trading on our system.
4.3. Restrictions on Financial Transactions
You understand that financial regulations, financial codes, financial ethics and contractual requirements vary worldwide. As such, You understand that ultimately it is your responsibility to make sure that You comply with any and all local regulations, directives, restrictions and laws in your local place of residence before using our Services. We strictly state that We do not permit the use of our Services by users from jurisdiction in which the use of our Services is not permitted.

Please note that RETAILFX shall apply its own spread to all transactions and trades made by using our Services which can increase the cost of the transactions and trades accordingly.
By using our Services, You declare that all the funds that You use and invest on our Services do not originate in any way from drug trafficking, abduction, terrorist activity or any other criminal activity that is unlawful or could be considered unlawful by any authority.

We shall be entitled to inform the relevant authorities, other online service providers and banks, credit card companies, electronic payment providers or other financial institutions of your identity and of any suspected unlawful, fraudulent or improper activity and You will cooperate fully with Us to investigate any such activity.
4.4. Additional Risk Disclosures
It is important that You be fully aware of the following points:

  • RETAILFX reserves the right to close part, or all, of customers' open positions, in order to facilitate the charge of any fees or amounts due by You. Notwithstanding, You shall be liable for promptly paying such fee(s) to RETAILFX even if You has had full loss of all margins deposited by him.
  • RETAILFX does not guarantee any order. Placing stops, regardless of the entry or closing designation, does not guarantee that the trade will be filled at the order price. All entry Stops and Stops will be filled, upon activation, at the first/best available market price that may or may not match the requested order price.
  • In the event liquidity providers are unable to provide liquidity to Us your order may experience delays in execution or You may not be able to place orders entirely. The size of the order may also impede the speed at which the order is executed. Keep in mind that it is only necessary to enter any order once. Multiple entries for the same order may inadvertently open unwanted positions.
  • While trading on our visual electronic trading system, You might encounter system errors that are resulted from hardware and/or software failures. The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions, executing with account balance errors and discrepancies or not executed at all. RETAILFX will not be liable for the resulting errors in account balances. RETAILFX reserves the right to make the necessary corrections or adjustments on the account involved.
  • The high level of leverage effect possible in conducting CFD transactions with respect to foreign currencies, commodities and indices stems from the fact that it is only necessary to pay relatively modest margins or guarantees in relation to the scope of the contract.
  • The result of the above is that even a slight fluctuation of the market could mean substantial gains when these fluctuations are in your favor, but that could also mean considerable losses if the fluctuations are to your detriment.
  • No system exists that could assure You that CFD transactions with respect to foreign currencies, commodities and indices should bring You great benefits, nor is it possible to guarantee, that your transactions will yield favorable results.
  • Even though the foreign currencies, commodities and indices markets are liquid as compared with other financial and exchange markets, the market conditions might at times render the execution of an order or of a limit on an order (either stop loss or take profit) at a stipulated price impossible.
  • Accordingly, even though the extent of the losses could be subjected to an agreed upon limit, the risk of incurring losses could be higher, and that loss could occur in a relatively short period of time.
  • Since deposit of an additional guarantee is not obligatory in this case, RETAILFX reserves the right to close the outstanding balances without Your consent.
  • Under abnormal market conditions, CFDs may fluctuate rapidly to reflect unforeseeable events that cannot be controlled either by Us or by You.
  • It is important to make a distinction between indicative prices which are displayed on charts and dealable prices which are displayed on our WebTrader. Indicative quotes only give an indication of where the market is. Because the forex and derivatives products market are decentralized, meaning it lacks a single central exchange where all transactions are conducted, each market maker may quote slightly different prices. Therefore, any prices displayed on any chart made available by us or by a third party will only reflect "indicative" prices and not necessarily actual "dealing" prices where trades can be executed.
  • The risk information presented here does not reflect all of the risks as well as other important aspects intrinsic to CFD transactions with respect to foreign currencies, commodities and indices. Therefore, before starting to trade, You should learn the specifics of trading on such transactions in detail or seek further advice.  
  • Unless You have elected to carry a trade over the weekend, all trades will automatically close out in the real money mode when market closes at the end of the business week at the rates available on the end of the last trading day of the relevant week. All statements with respect to real money accounts will be open during the weekend and all traders are welcome to view their trading account info. RetailFX reserves the right not to offset contracts carried over the weekend shortly after markets are open. RetailFX will allow offsetting contracts carried over the weekend when market liquidity conditions are reasonable.
  • There are a series of inherent risks with the use of the mobile trading technology such as the duplication of order instructions, latency in the prices provided, and other issues that are a result of mobile connectivity. Prices displayed on the mobile platform are solely an indication of the executable rates and may not reflect the actual executed price of the order.

4.5. Risks Associated with Social Trading
EToro Group Ltd. And its affiliates are proud to provide You with the ability to interact, follow and copy other traders by using Information and/or social trading features provided and/or made available on our websites. Such social trading features include but are not limited to the eToro Open Book, ג€œfollowג€, ג€œcopyג€ and/or ג€œcopytraderג€ traders rankings, ג€œfeatured usersג€ and/or any advanced search options etc. (collectively, ג€œSocial Trading Featuresג€). However, We note that Social Trading Features are associated with various risks and You are urged to carefully read and consider the following risks before utilizing either of our Social Trading Features:
4.5.1. Social Trading Features are provided by Us solely for informational purposes. Etoro Group Ltd. and its affiliates and their employees and agents are not investment or financial advisers. IF YOU MAKE INVESTMENT DECISIONS IN RELIANCE ON INFORMATION WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITES OR AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE SOCIAL TRADING FEATURES, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ETORO GROUP LTD. AND ITS AFFILIATES, THEIR EMPLOYEES AND ITS AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES THAT YOU MAY SUSTAIN. YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY INVESTMENT DECISION WITHOUT FIRST CONDUCTING YOUR OWN RESEARCH. YOU ARE SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER ANY INVESTMENT, OR STRATEGY, OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT OR SERVICE IS APPROPRIATE OR SUITABLE FOR YOU BASED ON YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL SITUATION.
4.5.2    A copied traderג€™s positions shall be copied with the same proportional amounts and with the same leverage, to the maximum extent possible. All such positions shall be closed automatically if and when closed by the copied trader and/or if the copied traderג€™s positions were automatically closed by Us, for whatsoever reason, without providing any further notice and without any action on your part. You should be able and prepared to bear the loss of the entire investment You made in such a copied trader. You are fully responsible for any losses You may sustain as a result of our automatic execution of instructions generated as a result of the utilizing of any of the Social Trading Features.
4.5.3. If You place additional trades in your account or You modify or cancel an order generated by a Social Trading Feature You may achieve a materially different result than the user that You copied.
4.5.4. Any past performance of our users indicated on our websites is not indicative of future results and should be considered as hypothetical as more fully described below. It is important to understand that historical performance is not a guarantee of future performance. When reviewing the Content, portfolio, financial performance information, opinions or advice of another registered user, You should not assume that the user is unbiased, independent or qualified to provide financial information or advice.
4.5.5. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS. NO REPRESENTATION OR GUARANTEE IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN AND MAY NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FEES, SPREADS AND/OR TRADING COMMISSIONS THAT MAY BE CHARGED. THE ACTUAL PERCENTAGE GAINS/LOSSES EXPERIENCED BY INVESTORS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON MANY FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: STARTING ACCOUNT BALANCES (DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS), MARKET BEHAVIOR, THE INVESTORג€™S ACCOUNT SETTINGS AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COPIED USER. BECAUSE OF THIS, ACTUAL PERCENTAGE GAINS/LOSSES EXPERIENCED BY INVESTORS MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE PERCENTAGE GAINS/LOSSES AS PRESENTED ON THIS WEBSITE. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
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

Notwithstanding the above and without derogating in any way from your sole, exclusive and personal obligation to pay taxes in your local jurisdiction, You unequivocally agree that We may deduct any taxes due under applicable law and regulations that may arise from the results of your investment on our System.

9.4. Marketing promotions and Bonuses
General Bonus Policy - In the interest of fair trading, traders must buy or sell at least (10) Ten mini lots in real-money mode for each unit of $10 bonus granted by RetailFX before submitting any withdrawal requests. Each mini lot accounts for 10,000 currency units You choose to buy or sell.
For Example:
If You receive a bonus of $25 your trading requirement is 25 mini lots which equal 250,000 currency units. Keep in mind that the number of currency units youג€™re buying or selling per trade is determined by the amount of your trade X the leverage. So for example if youג€™re making a trade for the amount of $25 with a leverage of 1:400, 25x400=10,000 so youג€™re buying or selling one mini lot.
By accepting any bonus from RetailFX You deem to accept all of the terms & conditions of Bonus Policy above.
