b) for forward transactions:
i) you will immediately (in the normal course of events within 24 hours after the Order is placed unless otherwise agreed) pay into the Margin Nominated Account in cleared funds a Margin as determined in accordance with clause 23.6(b) below or such other percentage as we may specify at our sole discretion;
ii) we must receive payment of the sale currency in full from you into the Client Nominated Account no later than 17:00 on the Value Date of the particular forward transaction.
23.5 If paying under the above terms, we will honour the rate and value of the transaction, however for payments to be sent as same day, earlier cut off times may apply. We will inform you of this earlier time, if it applies, when you are setting up your Order with us.
23.6 The provisions of this clause apply to forward transactions.
a) We may in our absolute discretion, at any time before or after we agree to enter into a Contract, require you to provide us with a Margin. You acknowledge that this money will not generally be covered by the safeguarding requirements in regulation 23 of the Payment Services Regulations 2017 and agree that the principles set out in this clause will apply;
b) In assessing the sum to be requested as Margin we will, acting reasonably, use our discretion in making a determination of the risk of the trade and request an appropriate sum, given the risk determination, as Margin for that forward transaction;
c) We will hold the Margin for you in a segregated client account. You are still the beneficial and legal owner of this money until such point in time as we incur any costs, losses or liabilities in connection with or arising out of your Order(s) including, without limit, liabilities we incur with third party currency dealers, exchanges, brokers, banks or similar entities. Then we will become the beneficial owner of that proportion of the money, held as Margin, equal to our costs, losses, or liabilities, without notice or demand by us;
d) We reserve the right to transfer the Margin to our counterparty bank or third party provider as Margin to cover the corresponding forward transaction entered into.
e) We reserve the right to make a Margin call to re-establish the Margin to the original percentage level agreed for the particular Order if the Margin subsequently falls below an acceptable threshold for that Order;
f) All Margin calls must be paid within 24 hours of our first communicating the Margin call to you;
g) The Margin will vest in us automatically;
on the Value Date;
if you breach any material term of these terms;
in the circumstances set out in clause 26.1(e)
h) We may also offset any Margin(s) or other monies we are holding in respect of any one of your Orders, against any costs, losses and/or liabilities that we incur in connection with or arising out of any other Order you have with us.
23.7 We accept no responsibility in the event that you send currency to any account other than the Client Nominated Account so you must check that the correct Client Nominated Account is set out in your Order.
23.8 All funds provided by you under an Order (whether as security or otherwise) may be appropriated by us if we incur any liability in respect of any transaction or in the event that you are unable to pay sums due to us or breach of these terms.
23.9 We may, at our discretion, make payments to third party introducers.
23.10 We will not be obliged to pay you interest on any Margin or client money held by us on your behalf.
23.11 You must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
23.12 We are not a currency trading platform. Accordingly, you should not use our services for this purpose (including sending us multiple Orders without the intention of completing all the Orders). If we detect that you are using our services for this purpose, we may, at our discretion, set a limit on the number of Orders you may send to us or refuse to accept any further Orders from you.

a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the Contract (or to get a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back);
b) If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 24.3;
c) In all other cases (if we are not at fault) see clause 24.4.
24.3 If you are ending a Contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided. The reasons are:

c) there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

e) you have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong.
24.4 Even if we are not at fault, you may still be able to end the Contract before it is completed, but this may be subject to deductions and/or you may have to pay us compensation. A Contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a Contract before it is completed where we are not at fault, just contact us to let us know. If this is possible, the Contract will end and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the Contract.

g) we are requested or directed to do so by any competent court of law, government authority, public agency, or law enforcement agency;
h) we have reason to believe you are involved in any fraudulent activity, money laundering, terrorism financing or other criminal or illegal activity; or

26.2 If we end the Contract in the situations set out in clause 26.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the Contract.
27.1 Both parties recognise that Orders that are activated are filled at the best possible rate and on a best efforts basis, and are not guaranteed at the rate at which they are entered. There is therefore a risk that such Orders may be executed on less advantageous terms.
27.2 It should be recognised that any Order is entered at your risk and that we shall not be liable for any errors in such payment requests entered by you. Should any errors occur due to the incorrect inputting of data by you, we shall endeavour to retrieve such funds (but make no guarantee that we will be able to) on the basis that any costs incurred in this retrieval shall be paid by you (whether or not such retrieval is successful).

27.4 We shall not be liable to you, whether in Contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss, management time, Contracts, goodwill and anticipated savings even if such loss was reasonably foreseeable arising under or in connection with any Contract between us.
