8.4 The Company may record telephone conversations, without any prior warning (unless required to give prior warning by Applicable Regulations), to ensure that the material terms of a transaction and/or order placed by the Client and/or any other material information relating to a Transaction are properly recorded. Such records if created, shall be the property of the Company and shall be accepted by the Client as evidence of his orders or instructions. The Company may use recordings and/or transcripts thereof for any purpose which it deems desirable.

8.5 The Company may in its sole discretion reject any order from the Client but will notify the Client of any such rejection, without giving any reasons, promptly following receipt of the Client’s instructions. The Company may cancel any instructions previously given by the Client provided that the Company has not acted on the Client’s instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Client acknowledges that the Company may reject orders and/or instructions by the Client when they are not clear when the Client seeks to open a position, close a position or modify or withdraw an order.

8.6 If any Financial Instrument Reference Asset which is a security becomes subject to possible adjustments as a result of any of the events set out in paragraph 8.7 (referred to as “Corporate Event”), the Company will determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to the opening/closing price, size, value and/or quantity of the corresponding transaction (and also the level or size of the corresponding orders). This action is made in order to (i) account for the diluting or concentrating effect necessary to preserve the economic equivalent of the rights and obligations of the parties under that transaction immediately prior to that Corporate Event, and/or (ii) replicate the effect of the Corporate Event upon someone with an interest in the relevant underlying Reference Asset security, to be effective from the date determined by the Company.

8.7 The events to which paragraph 8.6 refers to are any of the following, by the declaration of the issuer of a security:

1. a) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of shares, a share buy-back or cancellation, or a free distribution of bonus shares to existing shareholders, capitalization or share split or reverse share split or similar event;
2. b) a distribution to existing holders of the shares or additional shares, other share capital or securities, granting the right to payment of dividends and/or proceeds from the liquidation of the issuer equally proportionate to such payments to holders of the underlying shares, securities, or warrants granting the right to receive or purchase shares for less than the current market price per share;
3. c) any other event regarding shares analogous to any of the above events or otherwise having a diluting or concentrating effect on the market value of shares;
4. d) any event analogous to any of the above events or otherwise having a diluting or concentrating effect on the market value of any security not based on shares; or
5. e) any event that is caused by a merger offer made regarding the company of the underlying asset.

8.8 If any Financial Instrument Reference Asset which is a security becomes subject to a specific risk resulting in a predicted fall in value, the Company reserves the right to restrict short selling or even withdraw the specific Financial Instrument from the Trading Platform.

8.9 Determination of any adjustment or amendment to the opening/closing price, size, value and/or quantity of the Transaction (and/or the level or size of any order) shall be at the Company’s sole discretion and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Client. The Company shall inform the Client of any adjustment or amendment via its internal mail as soon as is reasonably practicable.

8.10 In the case where the Client has any open positions on the ex-dividend day for any of the Financial Instrument Reference Assets, the Company has the right to close such positions at the last price of the previous trading day and open the equivalent volume of the underlying Financial Instrument at the first available price on the ex-dividend day. In this case, the Company will inform the Client via the internal mail of the said adjustment and no Client consent will be required. In the case where the Client deliberately attempting to take advantage of the fact that shares in a particular Spot Index going exdividend, the company reserves the right to apply a dividend adjustment in the form of commission without prior notice or consent. In the case of short positions, the dividend adjustment will be debited from the clients’ account where dividend adjustment = Index Dividend declared x position size in Lots. 8.11 The Client acknowledges that orders shall be executed at the bid and ask prices that are offered by the Company, derived by its Liquidity Provider. Due to the high volatility of the market as well as the internet connectivity between the Client terminal and the Company’ server or the Company’s Server and the Liquidity Provider, the prices requested by the Client and the current market price may change in the period between the Client placing his order with the Company by the time the order is executed. The Client acknowledges that in the case of any communication or technical failure which results in the quotation of off-market prices on the quotes feed (i.e. prices to freeze/stop updating or price spikes), The Company reserves the right not to execute an order or, in cases where the order was executed, to change the opening and/or closing price of a particular order or to cancel the aforesaid executed order.

8.12 Considering the levels of volatility affecting both price and volume, the Company is doing its best efforts to provide client orders with the best execution result reasonably possible under the prevailing market conditions. Client’s orders (Buy/Sell, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop, Stop Loss and/or Take Profit) are executed at the next available Market price. However, at the duration of periods of volatile market conditions, during news announcements, on opening gaps (trading session starts), or on possible gaps where the underlying instrument has been suspended or restricted on a particular market, Buy/Sell Stop and Stop Loss orders may not be executed at requested/declared price but instead at the next best available price. In such case, Take Profit orders below/above Buy Stop/Sell Stop orders or Stop Loss orders above/below Buy Stop/Sell Stop orders during activation will be removed. The same execution policy applies when a trading strategy is deemed as abusive, because it is aiming towards potential riskless profit or another strategy deemed by the Company to be abusive. Accordingly, placing a Stop Loss order will not necessarily limit the Client’s losses at the intended amount.

8.13 The Company shall not be liable for any delays, inaccuracies or other errors in the transmission of any order, instruction or information from the Client to the Company and also form the Company to its Counterparty due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Delays can be caused by various reasons depending on the current market conditions (e.g. high market volatility) as well as a slow/weak internet connection (e.g. between the Client’s terminal and the Company’ server).

8.14 “Manifest Error” means a manifest or obvious misquote by the Company, or any market, liquidity provider or official price source on which the Company has relied in connection with any Transaction, having regard to the current market conditions at the time an order is placed as the Company may reasonably determine. When determining whether a situation amounts to a Manifest Error, the Company may take into account any information in its possession, including information concerning all relevant market conditions and any error in, or lack of clarity of, any information source or announcement. The Company will, when making a determination as to whether a situation amounts to a Manifest Error, act fairly towards the Client but the fact that the Client may have entered into, or refrained from entering into, a corresponding financial commitment, contract or Transaction in reliance on an order placed with the Company (or that the Client has suffered or may suffer any loss) will not be taken into account by the Company in determining whether there has been a Manifest Error.

8.15 In respect of any Manifest Error, the Company may (but will not be obliged to):

(a) amend the details of each affected Transaction to reflect what the Company may reasonably determine to be the correct or fair terms of such Transaction absent such Manifest Error; or

(b) declare any or all affected Transactions void, in which case all such Transactions will be deemed not to have been entered.

8.16 The Company shall not be liable to the Client for any loss (including any loss of profits, income or opportunity) that the Client or any other person may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with any Manifest Error (including any Manifest Error by the Company) or the Company’s decision to maintain, amend or declare void any affected Transaction, except to the extent that such Manifest Error resulted from the Company’s own willful default or fraud, as determined by a competent court in a final, non-appealable judgment.

8.17 The Company has the right in considering the volume of the Client’s order and the current market conditions to proceed with partial execution of such order.

8.18 The Company has the right at its discretion to increase or decrease Spreads of Financial Instruments depending on the current market conditions and the size of the Client’s order.

8.19 The Swap rate is mainly dependent on the level of interest rates as well as the Company’s fee for having an open position overnight. The Company has the discretion to change the level of the Swap rate on each Financial Instrument at any given time and the Client acknowledges that he needs to regularly check for this at the trading platform. From Friday to Monday swap are calculated once, from Wednesday to Thursday swaps are calculated in triple size.

8.20 Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the imposition of a Swap rate charge can occur if the Client abuses the Company’s trading conditions/systems or where the Client’s trading strategy imposes a threat to the Trading Platform or where the Company deems necessary in order to protect the smooth operation of its Trading Platform.

8.21 Internet, connectivity delays, and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where there is price latency on the Electronic Systems such that there is a disparity between the Company quoted prices and current market prices for short periods. Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall not execute Transactions with the Company that rely on price latency arbitrage opportunities either by using additional functionalities/plug-ins (i.e. Expert Adviser, etc.) or by any other means. If the Client acts in contravention of this clause the Company reserves the right to (i) make corrections or adjustments to the relevant Transaction execution prices to reflect what would have occurred had there been no price latency arbitrage; and/or (ii) cancel all the relevant Transactions; and/or (iii) terminate without notice the Client’s Account with the Company and/or (iv) charge an administration fee equal to 10% of the deposited funds, with the maximum charge set at $200 or deposit currency equivalent. The company at its discretion may not apply its rights under this clause provided that the client informs the Company in advance of his/her linked trading accounts with the Company that are going to be used for a hedging strategy within those accounts (i.e. mirror accounts) in that event hedging activity in those mirror accounts might not be considered by the Company as an abusive trading strategy.

8.22 The Company reserves the right to reverse any cumulative profits derived from the said trading at any given time. This can occur at times where there is suspicion of swap abuse aiming at generating riskless profit whereby the Client abuses the Company’s trading conditions/systems or if the trading strategy of the Client imposes a threat to the Company’s trading facility or where the Company deems necessary in order to protect the smooth operation of its trading facility.

9.Expiry Transactions

9.1 For certain Financial Instrument Transactions an expiry date may apply (an “Expiry Transaction”). The details of these dates are available in the Contracts Specification on BROKERS-DOMAIN.COM website. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Company will have the right to close any Transaction in its sole and absolute discretion without notice if the Reference Asset is a derivative Financial Instrument which may settle on expiry by a delivery other than in cash, a reasonable period prior to the expiry date as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. The Company will not be subject to any obligation to roll over a position in such a derivative Financial Instrument. The client is urged to close his position prior to the expiration time.

9.2 The price of an Expiry Transaction will be (a) the last traded price at or prior to the close or the applicable official closing quotation or value in the relevant Reference Asset as reported by the relevant exchange or market, errors and omissions excluded; plus or, as the case may be, minus (b) any Spread that the Company applies when such an Expiry Transaction is closed. Details of the Spread that the Company applies when a particular Expiry Transaction is closed are available on request.
