26.2 Any financial advice on the Website or provided by FXPIG including through the FXPIG Content, the FXPIG Community, or otherwise through providing the FXPIG Services, is general only. In relation to this, you acknowledge and agreethat:

26.2.1 the advice is general and is prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs;

26.2.2 because of that, you should, before acting on any general advice, consider the appropriateness of the general advice, having regard to your objectives, financial situation and needs; and

Part 8 - Risk and liability

27. General Risk Statement

You acknowledge and agree that:

27.1 you use the FXPIG Services at your own risk;

27.2 you alone bear the loss of any money you have invested;

27.3 trading in currencies and metals is inherently risky, including as a result of the unpredictable and volatile nature of currency and metals valuations and prices. Trading in FX Contracts is suitable for those sophisticated institutions and individual participants financially able to withstand losses which may SUBSTANTIALLY EXCEED THE VALUE OF MARGIN OR DEPOSITS;and

27.4 use of FXPIG Services can never be considered a safe investment, and carries with it a high risk of loss.

28. Restrictions on Financial Transactions

28.1 By using the FXPIG Services, you declare that all the funds that you use and invest through the FXPIG 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 in any jurisdiction.

28.2 If we terminate, suspend or block your use of the FXPIG Services as a consequence of a breach or suspected breach of this clause, then you acknowledge and agree that:

28.2.1 FXPIG is under no obligation to refund any funds that may be in your Trading Account until directed by a relevant regulatory authority. In those circumstances we may also prevent you from accessing any of the FXPIG Services; and

28.2.2 FXPIG may 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.

29. Additional Risk Disclosures

29.1 You acknowledge and agree that:

29.1.1 FXPIG reserves the right to close part, or all, of a Client's open positions, in order to facilitate the charge of any fees, costs or amounts due by you. Notwithstanding, you remain liable to pay, in accordance with our Fee Schedule, all fees, costs, Losses (including trading losses and trading losses that result in a negative balance, whereas the negative balance is also due to be repaid to FXPIG) and other amounts to FXPIG even if you have had full loss, or more, of all margins deposited by you;

29.1.2 FXPIG 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;

29.1.3 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. You acknowledge and agree that it is only necessary to enter any order once and that multiple entries for the same order may inadvertently open unwanted positions;

29.1.4 While trading through the FXPIG Services, you may encounter system errors that result 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, executed with Trading Account balance errors and discrepancies, or not executed at all. FXPIG will not be liable for, and you release FXPIG in respect of, any Claim or Loss associated with the resulting errors in Trading Account balances. FXPIG may make the necessary corrections or adjustments on the Trading Account involved;

29.1.5 Concerning margin based contracts or trades:

(a) the high level of leverage possible when conducting those transactions with respect to foreign currencies is because it is only necessary to pay relatively modest margins or guarantees in relation to the scope of the contract; and

(b) accordingly, even a slight fluctuation of the market could mean substantial gains when these fluctuations are in your favour, but could also mean considerable losses if the fluctuations are to your detriment;

29.1.6 We do not guarantee that a contract or trade you enter into will generate a return for you;

29.1.7 At any time, market conditions might render the execution of an order, or of a limit on an order (either stop loss or take profit), at a stipulated price impossible, including on the basis of market illiquidity. 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;

29.1.8 Since FXPIG does not require you to deposit an additional guarantee with us, FXPIG may close the outstanding balances without your consent in accordance with these Terms;

29.1.9 In volatile market conditions, foreign currencies may fluctuate rapidly to reflect unforeseeable events that cannot be controlled either by us or by you;

29.1.10 There is a distinction between indicative prices which are displayed on charts and dealable prices which are displayed on the Website;

29.1.11 Indicative quotes only give an indication of where the market is; and

29.1.12 Because the foreign exchange and derivatives products markets are decentralized, without a single central exchange where all transactions are conducted, each market maker may quote slightly different prices. Accordingly, 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 at which trades can be executed.

29.2 The risk information presented here and elsewhere in these Terms does not reflect all of the risks as well as other important aspects intrinsic to foreign currency and metals transactions. Accordingly, before starting to trade, you agree to seek appropriate financial, legal and/or taxation advice.

29.3 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. Any prices displayed on a mobile platform are solely an indication of the executable rates and may not reflect the actual executed price of the order.

29.4 To the extent that your use of the FXPIG Services relies upon using a public communication network, we will not be liable for any Claim or Loss you suffer or incur in consequence of a delay in price quotation or an inability to trade caused by the availability of transmission quality of that network, software or hardware problems, or any other problems outside our direct control, which include but are not limited to the strength of the mobile signal, latency, or any other issues that may arise between you and any internet service provider, phone service provider, or any other service provider.

29.5 You acknowledge and agree that some of the features available on our Website or on the FXPIG Community may not be available on any mobile device application we offer.

30. Risks Associated with the FXPIG Community and social trading

30.1 You acknowledge and agree that there are risks specific to the FXPIG Community, and the trading features which it contains – referred to in this clause as Social Trading Features.

30.2 You acknowledge and agree that:

30.2.1 FXPIG provides Social Trading Features for information purposes only; and

30.2.2 If you make investment decisions in reliance on information which is available on the Website, or as a result of the use of the Social Trading Features, then you do so at your own risk, and you release and indemnify FXPIG in respect of any such use of the Social Trading Features.

30.3 Concerning any process by which you use the FXPIG Services to copy another Client's position, you acknowledge and agree that:

30.3.1 the copied position will be copied with the same proportional amounts and with the same leverage, to the maximum extent possible;

30.3.2 all such positions will be closed automatically if and when closed by the copied Client and/or if the copied Client's positions were automatically closed by us, for whatsoever reason, without providing any further notice and without any action on your part;

30.3.3 you acknowledge and agree that you may bear the loss of the entire investment you made in such a copied trade and you are fully responsible for any Loss or Claim you may suffer or incur as a result of our automatic execution of instructions generated as a result of using any of the Social Trading Features;

30.3.4 If you place additional trades in your Trading Account or you modify or cancel an order generated by a Social Trading Feature, you may achieve a materially different result than the Client that you copied.

30.4 Any past performance of our Clients indicated on the Website is not indicative of future results and should be considered as hypothetical performance results.

30.5 You acknowledge and agree that historical performance is not a guarantee or reliable indicator of future performance. When reviewing the Client Content, portfolio, financial performance information, opinions or advice of another Client, you should not assume that the Client is unbiased, independent or qualified to provide financial product advice or provide any other financial service. FXPIG does not endorse, support, sanction, encourage, verify or agree with any Client position you may copy.

30.6 Any hypothetical performance results indicated on the Website have many inherent limitations. No representation or guarantee is being made that any Client or Trading 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 which Clients' experience will vary depending on many factors, including but not limited to:
30.6.1 starting Trading Account balances (deposits and withdrawals);

30.6.2 market behavior;

30.6.3 your Trading Account settings; and

30.6.4 the performance of the copied Client,

and, accordingly, actual percentage gains/losses experienced by Clients may be materially different from the percentage gains/ losses as presented on the Website.

30.7 You acknowledge that there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

30.8 You acknowledge and agree that:

30.8.1 hypothetical performance results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight; and

30.8.2 hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading performance can completely or accurately account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. You acknowledge that 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.
