n) Should you become indebted to Investors Europe for any reason, you will repay such debts forthwith.

Should you only pay part of such debts you shall be liable to Investors Europe for any difference still owed.

o) Any expenses on Investors Europe’s part in connection with replies to inquiries by public authorities, pursuant to national or international legislation, will be recharged to the Client.

q) If you do not require your trade executions to be faxed or Emailed daily, it will be wholly incumbent on you to confirm all trading details daily over the trading phone (which are recorded) or by arranging a meeting with the company on a regular basis so as to satisfy yourself fully and entirely that your instructions have been followed to the letter and you agree to hold Investors Europe and its agents, affiliates, officers and employees harmless from any claim, demand or damage arising thereof, if you do not do so. In any event clause n.) above will apply.

r) If you receive execution reports and statements directly from your online trading platform, rather than from investorseurope's back office, you accept and acknowledge that investorseurope may be working with third party software technology and third party trading platforms and will not send any trade execution information or statements as this will be provided to you by your own trading platform and it will be wholly incumbent on you to confirm the validity and correctness of the trading platform information provided to you and you agree to hold Investors Europe and its agents, affiliates, officers and employees harmless from any claim, demand or damage arising thereof. investorseurope will facilitate information, execution reports and statements for these platforms at your request by liaising with the platform and software supplier(s) and will actively support you and generally help in good faith to resolve any issues with executions & statements on your online trading platform.

s) Investors Europe has the right at its sole discretion to close positions or any part thereof at any time, with or without notice, if the Company deems it necessary for its own protection. A position may be closed in such a manner as the Company deems appropriate.
t) investorseurope will hold client money as trustee in a segregated non-interest earning account at an approved bank or banks or segregated client trading accounts at approved clearing brokers or brokers chosen by the Company. When client money is held in Gibraltar it will be held in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations that may be in force in Gibraltar at the time. Client money may also be deposited in a client transaction account outside Gibraltar and you may notify investorseurope in writing that you do not wish your money to be held in a particular regulated jurisdiction. In such circumstances your money may be held in a client transaction account in a regulated jurisdiction to which you do not object. Where client money is held in a client transaction account outside Gibraltar it will be held subject to the regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdiction, and it will not be held subject to Gibraltar’s Accounting & Financial Regulations. Where, for example, money is held in the UK, it will be held in accordance with the UK’s FSA Regulatory Framework. In such circumstances, the legal and regulatory regime applicable to the broker where the client money is held will be different from that of Gibraltar, and in the event of a failure by that broker, client money may be treated differently than would be the case if the client money were held by a broker, settlement agent or counterparty in Gibraltar and that broker may reserve the right of set-off or counterclaim against money held in a client transaction account, in respect of any sum owed on any other account.

u) The Company will be entitled, in the absence of specific instructions from the Client, to take such or no action as it thinks appropriate or necessary in relation to take-overs and other offers and to the exercise of conversion, subscription or voting rights or any other privileges conferred by such investments.

RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
There is a risk in investing in stocks, futures, options, contracts for difference, forward contracts and foreign exchange and the losses can be substantial. Careful consideration should be given as to whether such investments are suitable for yourself/ your company given your profile and financial resources. This brief statement does not disclose the level of risks involved in investing in global markets and you should, in addition, read investorseurope’s Special Risks Brochure before opening your account to appraise yourself of some of the risks involved in investing in financial markets. These risks are not suitable for many members of the public and you should carefully study such investments before you commit funds to them. The risk of loss in investing in stocks, futures, options, contracts for difference, forward contracts and foreign exchange can be substantial. You should carefully consider whether such investments are suitable
for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. You should understand that whilst Investors Europe may give investment advice to you, it cannot make any guarantees as to performance and that any decisions taken by yourself as a result of any such advice given will be your responsibility alone. You agree to indemnify and hold Investors Europe and its agents, affiliates, officers and employees harmless from any claim, demand or damage, including reasonable legal fees due to or arising out of your use of the Services.
You should be aware of the following points:
1. If the market moves against your position, you may, in a short time, sustain a total loss of the funds placed by way of margin or deposit and you may be called upon to deposit a substantial margin, at short notice, to maintain your position. If you do not provide such additional funds within the time frame required, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

2. Under certain market conditions (rapid price movement) it may be difficult or even impossible to liquidate a position.

3. Placing a stop-loss order will not necessarily always limit your losses. Extreme market conditions could make it impossible to execute such orders at the price you stipulated.

4. A spread or straddle position can be as risky as a simple long or short position and can potentially be more complex to gauge in terms of your overall risk.

5. Futures, options and contracts for difference, forward contracts and foreign exchange Markets can be highly volatile and investment in them carries a substantial risk of loss. The high degree of "gearing" or "leverage" which is often obtainable in trading these markets stems from the payment of what is a comparatively modest deposit or margin when compared to overall contract value. As a result, a relatively small market movement can result in substantial loss exceeding your original investment.

6. If you take (buy) an option, your risk in most cases will be less than trading in futures, spot or forward foreign exchange since you should not lose more than the premium you paid plus any transaction charges.

7. If you grant (sell) an option your risk of loss may be as great as your exposure in trading futures, spot* or forward foreign exchange since you carry the risk of unlimited potential loss which, following a relatively small adverse market movement, can exceed the premium payment received by you for granting (selling) the option. Moreover, you may have no control over when you might be required to exercise the option. Only experienced traders with substantial capital should contemplate granting options. *It is important that you understand that amongst the services provided by investorseurope is spot forex trading. This activity is outside the scope of MiFID and you would therefore not be considered to be dealing in ‘financial instruments’, as defined by MiFID, if you traded spot forex and would not be given the protection afforded to MiFID instruments.

8. There are many different types of options and you should discuss with your broker, your investment requirements and the risks involved in entering such contracts, before committing yourself. This brief statement cannot disclose all risks of investments in options, futures, forward contracts, CFDs and foreign exchange markets. They are not suitable for many members of the public and you should carefully study such investments before you commit funds to them. The may also have tax consequences and on this you should consult your lawyer, accountant or other tax adviser.
I/we declare, bindingly and finally, that I/we are fully satisfied with:
the contract documents, its terms and conditions.

For receipt, understanding and acceptance of any and all information I/we hereby sign:

Best Execution Policy

General principle
Best Execution refers to our obligation as a firm to execute orders on behalf of customers to ensure that the prices those orders receive reflect the optimal mix of price improvement, speed and likelihood of execution. This policy describes Investors Europe Limited’s (IEL’s) approach to best execution and describes the main factors that IEL evaluates to determine the best way to execute an order on behalf of the client. It applies both to retail and professional clients as defined in IEL’s general terms and conditions.
Best Execution In Practice
We will take all care to obtain the best possible result for our customer with reference to price, costs born by the customer, size, nature of the transactions, time of reception of order, speed and likelihood of execution and trading venue taking into account the state of the relevant market(s).

The relevant market(s) shall be deemed to be the market(s) offering the most favourable trading conditions also in terms of transparency, liquidity and clearing and settlement arrangements in connection with the envisaged transaction. If IEL executes in another trading venue, we will demonstrate that this has been done in accordance with the customer’s best interest.

IEL will act with due skill, care and diligence and will pay due regard to its customer’s interests – selecting the most opportune time to execute the customer order. We will endeavour to take reasonable care to ascertain the price which is the best available for the customer order in the relevant market at the time for transactions of the kind and size concerned

We shall pass on to the customer the details of the price at which the trade was executed to meet the customer order.

Where a customer order is subject to a special condition we will disclose any additional cost involved in satisfying the special condition or in respect of the non-standard element.

An example of when IEL will take particular care to assess the timing of execution of all or part of a current customer order includes when:
o We receive a customer order outside the normal trading hours of the relevant market or trading platform with a view to executing that customer order on that market or other trading platform;

o A foreseeable improvement in the level of liquidity in the relevant designated investment is likely to enhance the terms on which the firm executes the customer order;

o Executing the customer order as a series of partial executions over a period of time is likely to improve the terms on which the customer order as a whole is executed.

We may have reasonable grounds for postponing execution of a current customer order in the best interests of the customer. An example would be if the deal is part of an aggregated transaction.

IEL will occasionally execute orders in emerging markets (i.e. markets in countries with one or more of the following characteristics: political instability, uncertainty regarding financial markets and economic growth, developing financial markets and weak economies). It will only do so on behalf of clients who have a thorough understanding of such investments and the risks involved, and who have sufficient funds to assume these risks.
Execution Venues

We have included the list below of the Execution Venues which we believe best meet customer interests for the Best Execution of their orders on a consistent basis.When selecting a venue we have not only taken into account the fees and commissions when under taking a transaction but in addition we have also focused on the quality of execution available on the venue. The list of venues is not exhaustive and execution may occur in alternative venues from time to time provided those venues are consistent with this policy
Annexe VI
Conflicts of Interest Policy
General principle

Where a conflict of interest arises we will disclose this openly to our customers. We will endeavour to act professionally and independently with the customer’s best interests always in mind. We will manage any conflict of interest situation fairly. IEL will take all reasonable steps to identify conflicts of interest between:
o Ourselves, including our managers, employees, appointed representatives (or where applicable tied agents), or any other person directly or indirectly linked to IEL and its clients;
o One client and another.

IEL will maintain and operate effective organisational and administrative arrangements with a view to taking reasonable steps designed to prevent conflicts of interest from adversely affecting the interests of our clients. These arrangements will take into account any circumstances which may give rise to a conflict of interest arising as a result of the structure and business activities of each and every member of the IEL group.

We will endeavour to disclose the general nature and/or specific sources of conflict with the interest of our clients.

We will keep records of the services and activities performed by IEL in which a conflict of interest has arisen or may arise. These records will be updated regularly. Such obligation may, in some circumstances, be discharged through our Compliance Department with the requirement to prepare, maintain, and implement effective policies to minimise the potential for Conflicts of Interest to arise.

IEL continually monitors the above policy statements to ensure that they remain accurate and correct and offer the customer the best level of service expected from our firm.
