written consent which may be given at the Company’s sole and absolute
discretion.
You place your market
request at the prices you see on your terminal/ platform and the execution
process is initiated. Due to the high volatility of the market as well as the
internet connectivity between the client terminal and the server, the prices
requested by the client and the current market price may change, during this
process.
You have the right to
use a Power of Attorney to authorize a third person (representative) to act on
behalf of you in all business relationships with the Company. The Power of
Attorney should be provided to the Company accompanied by all identification
documents of the representative. If there is no expiry date, the Power of
Attorney will be considered valid until the written termination by you.

orders the Company does not represent or warrant that it will be possible to
execute such order or that execution will be possible according to your
instructions. In case the Company encounters any material difficulty in carrying
out an order on your behalf, for example in case the market is closed and/ or
due to illiquidity in financial instruments and other market conditions, the
Company shall promptly notify you.
Orders can be placed,
executed, changed or removed only within the operating (trading) time and shall
remain effective through the next trading session. Your Order shall be valid
and in accordance with the type and time of the given Order, as specified. If

specific risk resulting in a predicted fall in value, the Company reserves the
right to withdraw the specific financial instrument from the Company’s trading
platform.
Unless expressly

transactions that you can enter into on any one day and also in terms of the
total value of those transactions. You acknowledge that some markets place
restrictions on the types of orders that can be directly transmitted to their
electronic trading systems. These types of orders are sometimes described as
synthetic orders. The transmission of synthetic orders to the market is
dependent upon the accurate and timely receipt of prices or quotes from the
relevant market or market data provider.

sending of the quote and the time your order is executed. Such movement may be
either in your favor or against it. Prices that may be quoted and/ or traded upon,
from time to time, by other market makers or third parties shall not apply to
trades between the Company and you. For example, in times of high volatility

sufficient available funds deposited with the Company or in your bank account
to pay the purchase price of an Order along with the respective charges and

which the Company may have against you or your assets.
If the order is a
result of the use of inside confidential information (insider trading).

20. CLIENTS FUNDS OR
MONEY
20.1 Safeguarding of
Client funds or money
We cooperate with
various banks, credit institutions and/or payment service providers which are
regulated within an account in the Republic of Cyprus, the European Union (EU)
and/or European Economic Areas (EEA). For more information about the complete
list of the providers that we cooperate with us are available on our website.
You acknowledge that
funds that belong to you may be used for trading purposes and kept in an
account with any bank or credit institutions, and the Company may notify you
from time to time regarding any changes regarding such arrangements. The legal
and regulatory regime applying to any such banks or credit institutions may
differ from the legal and regulatory regime in the Republic of Cyprus and the
European Union (EU), and in the event of the insolvency or any other analogous
events in relation to that bank or credit institutions or financial
institutions, your funds may be treated differently from the treatment which
would apply if the funds were held with banks or credit institutions in an
account in the Republic of Cyprus and the European Union (EU)/ European
Economic Areas (EEA).
Without foregoing the
above, all funds and/or assets (including collateral by that we mean
securities, investments or financial instrument, or acceptable to us in lieu of
cash) held by us on behalf of the Client for the provision of our services,
will be held in one or more accounts opened with the central bank or reputable
credit institutions or bank within European Economic Area (EEA), or any
electronic payment service providers/processors (PSPs) or a qualifying money
market fund approved by us and will be segregated and held separately from the
Company’s own fund as required by the applicable Laws and Regulations. You
accept that such Client funds will be subject to the laws of that territory
and therefore your rights differ accordingly.
By accepting this
Agreement, you expressly consent that we may maintain your funds in an omnibus
account separated from Company’s money. This means that all Clients’ Funds are
treated as belonging to our clients and under no circumstance we will use those
funds to meet any of our obligations, at any time, An omnibus account means
that your funds will be pooled with funds belonging to other clients in a
Segregated Account. On the contrary, in the event of default, a Client has no
right to claim against a specific sum in a specific account in the event of
insolvency or default of the credit institution. Clients’ claims may be made
against the monies held in the segregated account according to the Laws of that
jurisdiction. In this respect, the relevant Deposit Guarantee Scheme(s) (or the
equivalent) at national levels may be enforceable without consideration of the
ultimate beneficial owners of the omnibus account.
In the event of
insolvency, Clients’ funds will be excluded from the assets available to our
creditors. We reserve all rights not to be held liable with the latter where
complexity and/or safety offered by third parties referred to herein and
includes any event where the Client holds with us a minimum balance of Client
funds this requirement is not applicable. Where we are or become unable to meet
the above obligations and you have been categorized as a Retail client you are
entitled to compensation from the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF). This Scheme
protects a proportion of the Client funds that are held with any credit
institution or bank or third party referred to in this paragraph. You are
kindly requested to read more information through our website.
The Company will
exercise all due skill, care and diligence in the selection, appointment and
periodic review of the credit institutions, banks and the qualifying market
fund for the holding and safekeeping of Clients’ funds.
It is commonly
understood that any amount payable by the Company to you, shall be paid
directly to you to a bank account the beneficial owner of which is you. Fund
transfer requests are processed by the Company within the time period specified
on the Company’s official website and the time needed for crediting into your
personal account will depend on your bank account provider.
The Company retains a
right of set-off and may, at its discretion, from time to time and without your
authorization, set-off any amounts held on behalf and/or to the credit of you
against your obligation to the Company. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by
the Company and you, this Agreement shall not give rise to the rights of credit
facilities.
The Company will
perform reconciliation of funds on a regular basis and in line with our
internal policies and procedures, in order to comply with the applicable Laws.
20.2 Withdrawal and
Deposit of Funds
You have the right to
withdraw the funds which are not used for margin covering, free from any
obligations from your Account without closing the said Account, subject
to any applicable restrictions regarding its operation, and any other right or
limitation on such withdrawal. We reserve the right to decline a Client’s
withdrawal request where such instruction is intended to manipulate the
Negative Balance Protection policy of the Company.
The Company reserves
the right to decline a withdrawal or deposit request if the request is not in
accordance with certain conditions mentioned in this Agreement or delay the
processing of the request if not satisfied with the full documentation
provided. More information on our accepted payment methods can be found on our website.
The Company covers
most payment processing fees. There are rare occasions when fees may occur when
depositing to or withdrawing from your Errante account. These are set and
applied by your payment provider or bank, not Errante.
Third parties may add
fees for:
International credit
cards – When transactions are processed through foreign (non-local) acquirers.
Incoming/Outgoing
bank wire – When transferring funds from your bank account to Errante, and vice
versa.
Currency conversions
– When the deposit is in a currency that the selected payment method does not
support.
You are fully
responsible for the payment details that you provided to the Company and the
Company accepts no responsibility if you have provided false or inaccurate bank
details. You may be requested to provide proof of ownership of the account or
of the card to which the funds are being transferred on withdrawal or closure
of the account request.
You agree that any
amounts sent by you to an account in the Company’s name, under its bank or
merchant accounts, will be deposited to your trading account at the value date
of the payment received and for the gross amount received in the bank or at the
payment processor. In order for the Company to accept any deposits by you, the
identification of the sender must be verified and ensure that the person
depositing the funds is you. If these conditions are not met, the Company
reserves the right to refund the net amount deposited via the method used by
the depositor.
The Company reserves
the right to decline a withdrawal with a specific payment method and to suggest
another payment method where you need to complete a new withdrawal request. In
the event that the Company is not fully satisfied with the documentation
provided in relation to a withdrawal request, the Company can request
additional documentation and if the request is not satisfied, the Company can
reverse the withdrawal request and deposit the funds back to your trading
account.
The Company shall
ensure that all withdrawals, either in part or in full of the funds you deposit
with us are sent to the same source where the funds came from. Where we are
unable to do so, for some reason, and subject to restrictions under the
applicable Regulations, we shall return the funds as requested in part or fill
to another verified source, net of any transfer fees, charges or other
deductions incurred by the Company.
In the event we are
not satisfied as to the above and decline an incoming transaction, we reserve
the right to return the funds to the sender, net off any transfer fees or
charges which we may incur. We will send back refunds to the same source
from where the funds were received. The Company may deviate from this policy
provided we have been satisfied that this will not be contrary to any of our
policies and applicable Laws.
When a withdrawal

ABUSIVE TRADING AND/ OR UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES

objective is to provide the most efficient trading liquidity available in the
form of streaming, tradable prices for most of the financial instruments we
offer on the trading platform. As a result of the highly automated nature of
the delivery of these streaming, tradable prices, Clients acknowledge and
accept that price misquotations are likely to occur from time to time.
31.1 Abusive Trading
Should the Clients
execute trading strategies with the objective of exploiting such
misquotation(s) or act in bad faith (commonly known as ‘sniping’) the Company
shall consider this as unacceptable behavior. Should the Company determine, at
its sole discretion and in good faith, that any of the Clients and/ or any of
his/ her representative trading on his/ her behalf is taking advantage,
benefitting, attempting to take advantage or benefit of such misquotation(s) or
that any Client is committing any other improper or abusive trading activities
such as for example:
orders placed based
on manipulated prices as a result of system errors or system malfunctions;
arbitrage trading on
prices offered by our platforms as a result of systems errors;
fraud/ illegal
actions that led to the transaction;
coordinated
transactions by related parties in order to take advantage of systems errors
and delays on systems updates.
In the event that,
you perform, directly or indirectly Abusive Trading, the Company shall reserve
the Right, without prejudice to any other rights we may have under this
Agreement, to reverse all previous Transactions and/or Contracts that have been
considered as a result of Abusive Trading.

Activities
Clients agree and

Activity. “Unauthorized Activity” means any act, including but not limited to
money laundering, arbitrage, or trading on off-market quotes or any other
activity involving the purchase of the Financial Products on one market for
immediate resale on another market in order to profit from a price discrepancy
or pricing error.

or abusive activity, the Company will have and retain the right to:
adjust the offered
payouts available to such Clients; and/ or

access to streaming, instantly tradable quotes, including providing manual
quotation only; and/ or

trading strategies aimed at exploiting errors in prices and/or concluding
trades at off-market prices and/or by taking advantages of internet delays,
commonly known as ‘arbitrage’, ‘sniping’ or ‘scalping’ (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “Arbitrage”), cannot exist in an OTC market where
the Client is buying or selling directly from the Principal.
The Company reserves
the right, not to permit the abusive exploitation of Arbitrage on its Online
Trading Facility and/ or in connection with its services.
31.4 Changes in
Market Conditions

following execution of any transaction, Clients are solely responsible for
making and maintaining contact with us and for monitoring open positions and
ensuring that any further instructions are given on a timely basis.

DIFFERENCE (CFDs) TRADING TERMS
32.1 Overnight Swaps
A daily financing
charge may apply to each Forex, CFDs, open position at the closing of the
Company’s trading day related to that Forex, CFD and other derivatives. If such
financing charge is applicable, it will either be requested to be paid by a
client directly to the Company or it will be paid by the Company to the client,
depending on the type of CFD and the nature of the position the client holds.
The method of calculation of the financing charge varies according to the type
of CFD to which it applies. The financing charge will be credited or debited
(as appropriate) to the client’s account on the next trading day following the
day to which it relates.
The Company reserves
the right to change the method of calculating the financing charge, the
financing rates and/or the types of CFDs to which the financing charge applies.
For certain types of CFDs, a commission is payable by a client to open and
close CFD positions. Such commission payable will be debited from the Client’s
account at the same time as the Company opens or closes the relevant CFD.
Changes in our swap interest rates and calculations shall be at our own
discretion and without notice. Clients need to always check information for the
current rates charged. Information concerning the swap rates for each
Instrument is displayed on the trading platform. Rates may change quickly due
to market conditions (changes in interest rates, volatility, liquidity, etc)
and due to various risk related matters that are at the firm’s sole discretion.
As
a client, you acknowledge that when leaving a position on a CFD overnight, a
premium may be either debited or credited to your account balance. Information
concerning the swap rates for each Instrument is available on the Trading
Platform and on our website.
32.2 Expiry
Transactions and Rollover
Trading CFDs are
linked to the market price of a certain base asset, including the market price
of future contracts. A few days prior to the expiration date of the base asset
to which the CFD linked, the base asset shall be replaced with another asset,
and the quotation of the CFD shall change accordingly.
For certain
Instruments on our platform that are based on Futures Contracts, we may, in our
sole and absolute discretion, set an Expiry Date and time for a specific
Instrument. Information concerning the expiration date for each Instrument is
displayed on the Website.
If you do not close
an open transaction with respect to an Instrument which has an Expiry Date,
prior to such Expiry Date, the transaction shall automatically rollover and

the two contracts.

note that it is the Client’s sole responsibility to be aware if an upcoming

might charge the costs associated with the underline corporate actions,
depending on Clients’ position direction (Buy/Sell), without notice as this has
been applied directly by our Liquidity Providers to the Company.

a dividend adjustment to be applied to the Client’s account, the Client must
hold an open trade at the close of the trading session on the Business Day
before the ex-dividend date.

the market, or on selected products as limit stop orders to trade when the
price reaches a predefined level. Limit orders to buy and stop orders to sell
must be placed below the current market price, and limit orders to sell and
stop orders to buy must be placed above the current market price. If the bid
price for sell orders or ask price for buy orders is reached, the order will be
filled as soon as possible at the price obtainable in the market. Limit and

and are not guaranteed executable at the specified price or amount unless
explicitly stated by the Company for the specific order.
32.5 Execution
Practices in the Financial Instruments
32.5.1 Slippage
You are warned that
Slippage may occur when trading in financial instruments. This is the situation
when at the time that an Order is presented for execution, the specific price
showed to the Client may not be available; therefore, the Order will be
executed close to or a number of pips away from the Client’s requested price.
So, Slippage is the difference between the expected price of an Order and the
price the Order is actually executed at. If the execution price is better than
the price requested by the Client, this is referred to as positive slippage. If
the executed price is worse than the price requested by the Client, this is
referred to as negative slippage.
A Slippage is a
normal element when trading in financial instruments. Slippage often occurs
during periods of illiquidity or higher volatility (for example due to news
announcements, economic events, and market openings and other factors) making
an Order at a specific price impossible to execute. Your Orders may not be
executed at declared prices. Slippage may appear in all types of accounts we
offer. It is noted that Slippage can occur also during Stop loss orders, Limit
orders, and other types of Orders.
We do not guarantee
the execution of your Pending Orders at the price specified. Limit Orders can
be filled at either requested or better price, while Stop Orders can be filled
at worse, requested or better price. The resulting Slippage is always subject
to market conditions at the time of the execution and the Company has no power
of controlling the executed price.
32.5.2 General terms

place.
As a result of such
an event, if any Instrument becomes subject to an adjustment as the result of a

order we will not be able to comply with our obligations under the applicable
