Customer agrees to be conclusively responsible for any instruction received electronically that is identified with Customer’s password and Account number and for any electronic, oral and written instruction (including, but not limited to, any Order) to GENETRADE from persons GENETRADE, in its sole judgment, believes are apparently authorized by Customer. If Customer’s Account is titled as a joint account, GENETRADE is authorized to act on the instructions of any one owner, without further inquiry, with regard to trading in the Account and the disposition of any and all assets in the Account.

GENETRADE shall have no responsibility for further inquiry into such apparent authority and no liability for the consequences of any actions taken or failed to be taken by GENETRADE in reliance on any such instructions or on the apparent authority of any such persons.

 

• Pricing Information. GENETRADE will make available, by posting on the GENETRADE Online Trading System or by telephoning the GENETRADE Trading Desk, Bid Prices and Ask Prices at which GENETRADE is prepared to enter Foreign Currency Contracts, and any other contracts for difference (CFDs) with Customer. Each Bid Price or Ask Price shall be for a Spot Contract with a specified Value Date and shall specify each Eligible Foreign Currency or tradable U.S. dollar-based currency pairs involved where applicable. GENETRADE expects that these prices will be reasonably related to the bid prices and ask prices available in the market at that time for similar transactions, but a number of factors, such as communication system delays, high volume or volatility can result in deviations between prices quoted by GENETRADE and other sources. GENETRADE makes no warranty, express or implied, that Bid Prices and Ask Prices represent prevailing bid prices and ask prices. In addition, these Bid and/ or Ask Prices may reflect, at the direction of any Introducing Broker, additional pips added to the BID and/or ASK price that may result in an increase of the dealable spread available for the Customer’s account as well as a per trade or per lot commission and/or fees. See Section 11-Charges.

 

• Order Execution. GENETRADE will attempt to execute all Orders that it may, in its sole discretion, accept from Customer in accordance with Customer’s instructions received through the GENETRADE Online Trading System or via telephone to the GENETRADE Trading Desk. In cases where the prevailing market represents prices different from the prices GENETRADE has posted on our screen, GENETRADE will attempt, on a best efforts basis, to execute trades on or close to the prevailing market prices. This may or may not adversely affect customer realized and unrealized gains and losses. All Contracts made and entered into by GENETRADE hereunder will be entered into by GENETRADE as principal. Customer acknowledges, understands and agrees that GENETRADE is not acting as a broker, intermediary, agent, and advisor or in any fiduciary capacity. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph, Customer acknowledges, understands and agrees that all non-market orders such as Limit Orders, Stop/Loss Orders, One Cancels the Other Orders, Day Only Orders, and Good till Cancelled Orders, are accepted by GENETRADE and undertaken on a “best-efforts basis” in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Trading Policies and Procedures, as amended from time to time

 

• Transmission. GENETRADE shall have no responsibility for delays in the transmission of orders due to disruption, failure or malfunction of communications facilities and shall not be liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to any person or entity arising other than as a direct result of GENETRADE’s gross negligence.

5. Prohibited Trading Strategies

• Circumvention & Reverse Engineering:
  You shall not illegally access our Online Trading Facility and computer system or try to bypass or reverse engineer the security measures we have implemented. If we establish in our sole and absolute discretion that you have broken this clause, we shall take actions we deem appropriate such as entirely restricting access, to the Online Trading Facility, preventing and/or cancelling your Access Codes and suspending your Account. In this scenario, we bear the right to confiscate any earnings and proceeds produced by exercising directly or indirectly any banned trading activity and at the liberty to inform any concerned third parties about this clause violation; we have created and plan to continue evolve any measured required to detect unauthorised and/or illegal entry and utilisation of our Online Trading Facility; every difference of opinions caused from such a deceptive and illicit trading activity will be fixed exclusively by us in a way that we find most appropriate; such a resolution would be considered final for all participants involved without entering into a correspondence.
• Artificial Intelligence Software:
  We disallow the use of a software that is found to apply any kind of artificial intelligence to our Online Trading Facility and/or our computer systems for the sole reason to obtain an upper hand and reap the benefits of our trading facility; if we find that an artificial intelligence software has been/is being used then we hold the authority to take whatever action that seems necessary including entirely preventing entry to our Online Trading Facility, cancelling your Access Codes, and closing your account. In such instances, we hold the authority to get hold of every profit/proceeds made through any banned trading activity and/or exert additional charges. Furthermore, we are at liberty to contact any concerned parties regarding your attempted violation; all disagreements involving the falsified and/or unauthorised access shall be cleared entirely by us, in a way we choose to be fair and just; our resolution would be considered absolute for all participants and avoid any communication whatsoever.Moreover, using software of any kind in a way that jeopardises or affects the performance of our servers negatively is banned because it obstructs us from getting the ideal outcome for customers after carrying out an order. If we find such an activity occurring, then we will assume the power to deal with it appropriately like cutting off entry to our Online Trading Facility, invalidate your access codes and/or sudden closure of your account. Furthermore, it should be obvious that after closing your account we have the authority to settle all open positions or contracts. To do the same, you would not be allowed to create any new accounts to resume trading. But in case you manage to open a new trading account somehow by technical issues or human error, we can instantly seal that account after recognising, annul any proceeds and repay the main deposit amount except the deposit and withdrawal fees paid.
• Illicit trading procedures:
  Internet connectivity and technical delays have the possibility of causing errors with our price feeds and cause it to display inaccurate market rates on our Online Trading Facility. The idea behind using certain trading strategies to make use of the errors in price feeds and closing trades at off-market that happen due to unforeseeable internet connectivity problems are called “arbitrage”, “sniping”, and “scalping” (we shall refer to it as arbitrage) is not meant to be a part of an over-the-counter market that clients use for buying/selling openly; for this reason, we have decided to forbid any deliberate misuse of Arbitrage on our Online Trading Facility or related to our services; we can liquidate trading positions/contracts depending on price latency arbitrage as decided by us without informing beforehand; moreover in such cases, we hold the authority to (a) apply modification and amendments on the accounts as well as altercating the price spreads for clients; (b) cease entry of accounts involved in arbitrage from streaming and instantly tradable quotes  and also offer manual quotes and require submission for our approval for subsequent orders; (c) recover all historic gains that could have been obtained by misusing liquidity at any point during the relationship with the client; (d) suspend client relationship and/or close any associated accounts owned by the same account holder by giving written notification; and/or (e) notifying any concerned third party entities.If GENETRADE suspects any type of arbitrage (and also obtaining gains risk free), misuse (and concluding from the trading activities of any involved participant that they prioritise financial gains by avoiding getting exposed to market trading risks), inner equivocation with the help of other entities, exploitation of our “no negative balance” rule, scam, cash-back arbitrage or other types of malicious doings, then the all gains, losses, and transactions experienced would be nullified. Such a situation allows us to rightfully cease (for sometime or forever) every single one of the client’s trading accounts and also terminate their transactions. Moreover, one should note that we will also severely forbid new account creations and trading with our company. In the event of any unexpected error, we can terminate your account after it has been identified instantly, cancel all profit/loss produced, and also pay back the deposit amount minus deposit and withdrawal fees.We intend to keep building strategies required to point out scam and/or illicit utilisation and entry of our Online Trading Facility as we have before; all disagreements associated with these incidents would be decided entirely by us as fairly as possible; our conclusion would be final and applicable on all entities without any room for further communication.
• Alterations in Market situations:
  Keep in mind that we are not obliged to get in touch with you with the intention of advising about the correct course of action regarding the ever-changing market conditions or market disturbances. You accept the fact that Over-the-Counter (OTC) Market in leveraged financial products is increasingly risky and unpredictable including that by executing any transaction, only you become accountable for creating and managing contract with us for keeping an eye on active positions and guaranteeing that all following directives would be provided on time. In case you cannot comply, we cannot guarantee to contact timely and deny being responsible for any damages incurred as an outcome of your disregard to follow the rules.
• Indemnification:
  In absence of any discrimination to this contract, you consent to assure us and keep us and our associated contacts, risk free from all kinds of responsibilities, financial sufferings, compensation, overheads such as authorised charges and costs related to any sort of unauthorised entry or utilisation of our Online Trading Facility or its remedy and avoidance given that such responsibilities, financial sufferings, compensation, overheads have been caused by our neglect and intended deceit.
• MT4 Multiterminal: The Company provides MT4/MT5 Multiterminal platform to trade using which clients can handle not one but many trading accounts. You correspond to, authorise, and consent to avoid using the MT4/MT5 Multiterminal for controlling accounts that are not yours.

Customer shall only be liable for the payment of any deficit balance in Customer’s account upon demand by GENETRADE where such deficits are the result of a mark to market after a weekend or holiday.

When a withdrawal or refund is performed, we reserve the right (but shall under no circumstances be obliged) to remit the funds to the same remitter from, and by the same payment method through which such funds were initially received by us.

Under these circumstances, we shall not be responsible for any transfer fees or charges charged by the receiver and/or for any currency exchange rates resulting from the payment of such amount.

Withdrawal requests that are accepted and approved by us in accordance with the terms of this Agreement are, in principle, processed within one Business Days following the receipt of the transfer request instructions. The amount to be transferred reduces the balance of the relevant account from which such transfer is to be made, when the transfer request process is concluded. We reserve the right (a) to decline a withdrawal request if the request is not in accordance with the provisions of this Section, or (b) to delay the processing of the request if we are not satisfied with the ancillary documentation submitted with the withdrawal request.

You agree, when we so request, to pay any bank transfer fees incurred when you are withdrawing funds from your account or when funds are refunded by us to your designated bank account. You are solely responsible for the payments details you are providing us with and we do not accept any responsibility for your funds, if the payment details you have provided to us are incorrect or incomplete. It is also understood that we do not accept any responsibility for any funds that are not directly deposited into our bank accounts.

GENETRADE does not require Customers to pay the full price of Foreign Currencies Customer may buy and sell. Instead, Customer is required to post a small percentage of the full amount which Customer is obligated to pay to GENETRADE under the Contract, to secure Customer’s obligations to GENETRADE Margin includes Required Margin for Open Positions, which is based on (i) the Opening Margin Requirement, (ii) the Minimum Margin Requirement, (iii) the market value of Open Positions and (iv) any additional amount as GENETRADE, in its sole discretion, believes is prudent to require.

The Withdrawal Request Form requires a minimum of two (2) Business Days from receipt of the withdrawal request for issuance of a check or wire transfer of funds.

SECONDARY RISK DISCLOSURE

HIGH RISK INVESTMENT Trading is very speculative and risky. Foreign Exchange and CFD Trading is highly speculative and is suitable only for those customers who (a) understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal and other risks involved, and (b) are financially able to assume losses significantly in excess of margin or deposits. Customer represents, warrants and agrees that Customer understands these risks that Customer is willing and able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risks of Foreign Exchange and CFD Trading and that loss of Customer’s entire account balance will not change Customer’s life style. The high leverage and low margin associated with Foreign Exchange Trading can result in significant losses due to price changes in Foreign Exchange and CFD Contracts, Cross Currency Contracts. Company’s margin policies may require that additional funds be provided to properly margin Customer’s account and that Customer must immediately meet such margin requirements. Failure to maintain the Minimum Margin Requirement may result in the liquidation of any open positions with resultant loss to Customer.

FOREX AND OTHER CFDS IS AN OVER THE COUNTER (OTC) MARKET, MEANING THE FOREIGN CURRENCY TRADING YOU ARE ENTERING INTO IS NOT CONDUCTED ON AN EXCHANGE. AS A MARKET MAKER, GENETRADE IS THE COUNTERPARTY IN THESE TRANSACTIONS AND, THEREFORE, ACTS AS THE BUYER WHEN YOU SELL AND THE SELLER WHEN YOU BUY. AS A RESULT, GENETRADE’S INTERESTS MAY BE IN CONFLICT WITH YOURS. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN YOUR WRITTEN AGREEMENT OR OTHER WRITTEN DOCUMENTS GENETRADE ESTABLISHES THE PRICES AND WHICH IT OFFERS TO TRADE WITH YOU. THE PRICES OFFERED MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST PRICES AVAILABLE AND DIFFERENT PRICES MAY BE OFFERED TO DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS. IF GENETRADE ELECTS NOT TO COVER ITS OWN TRADING EXPOSURE, THEN YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT GENETRADE MAY MAKE MORE MONEY IF THE MARKET GOES AGAINST YOU. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE GENETRADE ACTS AS THE BUYER OR SELLER IN THE TRANSACTION, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY EVALUATE ANY TRADE RECOMMENDATIONS YOU RECEIVE FROM GENETRADE OR ANY OF ITS SOLICITORS.

 

8. Unlawful Trading Techniques

Any suggestion or implication, in GENETRADE’s sole discretion, of any form of arbitrage (including but not limited to risk free profiting), abuse (including but not limited to participant’s trading activity patterns that indicate that the participant solely aims to benefit financially without being genuinely interested in trading in the markets and/or taking market risk), internal hedging in coordination with other parties, fraud, manipulation, cash-back arbitrage or any other forms of deceitful or fraudulent activity, will constitute all Transactions carried and/or profits or losses garnered as invalid. In these circumstances, we reserve the right to close/suspend (either temporarily or permanently) the client’s trading accounts, and/or cancel all Transactions. Such deceitful activity will be detected by GENETRADE’s anti-fraud tools. Any dispute arising from such fraudulent and/or unlawful trading activity, will be resolved by us in our sole and absolute discretion, in the manner we deem to be the fairest to all concerned that decision shall be final and/or binding on all participants; no correspondence will be entered into.
