Any and all such differences shall compose Operational Premiums or Operational Expenses of WPFX. Neither the Operational Premiums, nor the Operational Expenses shall be

subject to any reimbursement duty by either party, and the Client expressly releases WPFX from any duty to inform the Client of the amount of such Operational Premiums or Operational Expenses, if any.

The Client acknowledges, recognizes and agrees that WPFX may occasionally receive certain retrocession from Counterparties, banks and other third parties involved in the transactions executed by WPFX for the account of its clients, including the Client, and that WPFX has the right to receive and retain such payments; WPFX will provide the Client from time to time, upon written request, with information regarding such payments.

9. Trading Orders

Each trading order shall be considered as an instruction of the Client to WPFX on the manner to execute the mandate contemplated under Clause 2.1, and not a new, independent mandate.

To be considered as valid, each order has to be both received and confirmed by WPFX. WPFX shall, as applicable, confirm orders received in writing, by  electronic mail or by telephone. The execution of an order means confirmation of it. Any unconfirmed orders are considered as null and void under the present Agreement.

Upon receipt and confirmation of a trading order, WPFX shall make all possible endeavors to execute such trading order in accordance with the terms set out in Clauses 2.1 and 6.

WPFX may provide the Client with any programming tools to facilitate the planning of the trading activity of the Client. Such tools shall be provided on “AS IS” and “WITH ALL ITS FAULTS” basis. All technical facilities of planning the trading orders shall be provided exclusively for the convenience of the Client at the sole discretion of WPFX and shall be used by the Client at its own risk.

10. Information

The information provided by WPFX through the World Pro FX Metatrader 4 Platform and/or the website of WPFX may be based on and reflect information provided by third parties, and it may prove to be faulty, unverified or unverifiable.

The Client shall be entitled to use any of the means of communication at his own discretion for the purpose of communication with WPFX. All the means of communication shall be provided by WPFX strictly on “AS IS” and “WITH ALL ITS FAULTS” basis, and any mistakes, errors, interruptions or unavailability of any of the means of communication shall not expose WPFX to any liability towards the Client. Any and all mistakes, errors, interruptions or unavailability of the means of communication may lead to mistakes, errors, interruptions or unavailability of trading;

The Client acknowledges, agrees and accepts the possible occurrence of such mistakes, errors, interruptions or unavailability, and agrees not to hold WPFX in any way liable for such occurrence and/or its consequences.

The Client acknowledges the electronic nature of the World Pro FX Metatrader 4 Platform and the inherent risk that communications by electronic means may not reach their intended destination or may do so much later than intended for reasons outside the control of the parties to this Agreement.

The Client agrees that WPFX may record and/or protocol all telephone conversations, Internet conversations (chats), and meetings between the Client and WPFX,  as well as use such recordings or transcripts from  such recordings, as evidence towards any party (including but not limited to any regulatory authority and/or any court of law) to whom WPFX at its entire discretion sees it to be desirable or necessary to disclose such information in any dispute or anticipated dispute between WPFX and the Client. However, technical reasons may prevent WPFX from making the above recordings.  Consequently, the Client should not rely on such recordings to be available.

In case of joint account holders, their liability shall be joint and several, and WPFX may act upon instructions received from any of them.

12. Live Trading Account

The concept of “Live Trading Account” shall, for the purpose of this Agreement, have exclusively the meaning traditionally established in the FX industry practice, i.e. the Live Trading Account shall limit the maximum size of the Client’s FX transactions and multi- currency exposure. The granting of the Live Trading Account shall not establish a credit or similar relationship between WPFX as a creditor and the Client as a debtor.

The amount of the Live Trading Account shall be calculated by WPFX in the basic currency, by multiplying the Equity of the account of the Client by the leverage determined by WPFX.

The trading leverage provided by WPFX to the Client shall be subject to change at the sole discretion of WPFX, according to the usual practice of WPFX considering the general FX market circumstances, the Equity of the account of the Client, the type of trading activity of the Client, the day of the week, the holiday’s calendar and other factors.

WPFX shall be entitled to use and operate with the funds on the account of the Clients to obtain the FX trading-lines from the third parties that are necessary to provide the corresponding Live Trading Account to the Client.

The Client shall not be entitled to withdraw funds from his account in case he has a trading exposure, i.e., while he uses the Live Trading Account. In order to withdraw the funds, the Client shall be obliged to close all trading positions on his account.

13. Exclusion and limitation of liability

The Client agrees not to hold WPFX or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries or affiliates liable for any trading losses or other losses that may be incurred by the Client, except in case of willful default or gross negligence. WPFX shall in particular not be liable for any loss of any kind suffered or incurred by the Client (i) as a result of WPFX’s negligence, or (ii) caused by the auxiliary persons of WPFX.

WPFX assumes no liability towards the Client for the ability of the World Pro FX Metatrader 4 Platform to meet the user’s requirements, be error-free, or operate without interruption, or that information transmitted through the World Pro FX Metatrader 4 Platform (or via phone) shall be accurate or timely. WPFX shall also assume no liability for other users of the World Pro FX Metatrader 4 Platform or any employees of WPFX to perform as expected. The World Pro FX Metatrader 4  Platform shall be provided strictly on “AS IS” and “WITH ALL ITS FAULTS” basis.
