Your payment instruction will be acted on the earliest possible payment date available once the Contract has been performed unless you have requested a specific future date.

9. Receiving Payments. If you receive funds into your Account, we will send you a notification e-mail and display the payment in your transactions history. You should regularly reconcile incoming payments with your own records.

You should be aware that receipt of funds to your Account does not necessarily mean that these transactions cannot be reversed.

10. Prohibited Payments.

12. Safeguarding.Funds received in accordance with a payment instruction will be subject to the segregation requirements as set out in the Regulations and are referred to as “Relevant Funds”.

For the purposes of this clause “Relevant Funds” means sums received from you or for your benefit from a payment service provider such as a bank for the execution of Payment Services on your behalf. Relevant Funds are held in segregated bank accounts which are independent of our business bank accounts. The purpose for so holding funds is to ensure that in the event of our insolvency, or if a financial claim is made against us, no creditor or claimant should be able to claim funds held in these accounts. This is because no other person or institution may have any rights or interest over the funds held in these accounts such as a lien over funds in these accounts. Relevant Funds are not covered under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Relevant Funds do not include funds received from or to you or on your behalf in settlement of a Contract. When you transfer funds to us to pay Margin Call(s) full ownership and title to these funds transfers to us absolutely and such funds are considered as our funds. They will not be Relevant Funds and so they will placed into our business bank account and will not be afforded protection under the segregation rules of the Regulations.

Pursuant to the Regulations, we will not pay interest on funds paid to us including balances held in segregated or client bank accounts and we may retain, for our own benefit, any interest which accrues from funds held in any accounts

The following provisions will apply to the Foreign Exchange Services and Branded Payment Engine Services and to all Contracts

1. Individual contracts. Each Contract shall be an individual contract and we may at any time and at our sole discretion refuse to offer terms for any Contract.

2. No Advice.We shall not provide you with any advice in connection with the Services or in respect of a Contract such as whether to proceed or not to proceed with a transaction or in respect of timing of a transaction or the legal, regulatory, tax, business, financial, accounting or other consequence of a transaction. All Services are provided by you to us on an execution only basis. Any decision to transact is always your decision and we cannot be liable for any loss including loss if exchange rates move before or after you transact. Any market information we provide is not provided as advice and you should not infer anything from the information. Foreign exchange conditions are very complex and volatile and subject to fluctuations outside of our control and as a result we cannot accept responsibility for your decision to enter a transaction under these Terms of Use.

3. Purpose. We buy and sell currency to support personal and/or commercial purposes including, but not limited to, the buying of goods and services or property and therefore you should not use any Contract or the Services for investment or speculative purposes such as by trying to profit from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and you should tell us if that is your intention. We may decline to deal with you if we have reason to believe that you are using any Contract or the Services for investment or speculative purposes and we shall not be liable to account to you any gains following any Close Out of a Contract or further Contract entered into by us pursuant to paragraph 6 below.

4. Instructions and Orders.You may give us electronic or verbal instructions relating to a transaction for the purchase or sale and delivery of currency and we will at our sole discretion offer the commercial terms of a proposed Contract. Once you accept the commercial terms of the Contract (by electronic or verbal or by any other means), you will become legally bound to perform the contract in accordance with the terms of the Order. Following receipt of an Order, we shall subsequently transmit electronically to you a contract note, which will confirm the details of the Order. Once we have agreed an Order, you may not amend or cancel the Contract if we expressly agree (and any such amendment or cancellation shall be on the conditions specified by us). We may require further confirmation or information from you or an Authorised Person of any Order.

5. Limit order. We may accept your instructions which include a limit order and we will use our reasonable endeavours to execute such an Order but if market conditions prevent us from executing your instruction(s) in full or at all, then we have no liability in respect thereof.

6. No Cancellation.Each Contract constitutes an irrevocable and legally binding agreement by you to purchase or buy (as the case may be)the relevant currency and as such you will have no right to cancel a Contract. However you may prior to the Maturity Date request that we Close Out a Contract or enter into a further Contract to (as the case may be), sell the currency you agreed to buy or purchase the currency you agreed to sell but we shall have sole discretion as to whether we enter into such further Contract or Close Out the Contract.

7. Funding a Contract. You must pay all funds specified by us as required to pay to us in connection with a Contract (including any applicable transfer charges by electronic transmission) in full and in cleared funds into a client account specified by us. Payment must be made on or before the Maturity Date or such earlier date as we may specify and for the full value of the currency to be sold by you under the Contract and will hold and operate such account as a client-specified account. We may deduct from any payment any fees, costs, taxation liabilities, or charges incurred by us in respect of any transaction. You should be aware that receipt of funds from us into your nominated/beneficiary bank account may result in charges being applied by the beneficiary/receiving bank which are your responsibility. We are entitled to apply default interest pursuant to these Terms of Use if you fail to make any payment when it falls due. Please see the daily cut-off times available at http://help.currencycloud.com for settlement times. If funds do not arrive we may at our discretion roll the trade to the next settlement day and apply a charge in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Agreement.

8. Disputes.If a dispute arises between you and us relating to the existence or terms of any Contract (a “Disputed Contract”), we may at our sole discretion Close Out the Disputed Contract pending settlement of the dispute. We will notify you (orally or in writing) of such action as soon as practical but if we do not the validity of any action by us shall not be affected.

9. Default & Refusal to Perform. We may at our sole discretion refuse to perform or Close Out a Contract with or without giving prior notice to you, upon or at any time after any of the following events:

9.1 You fail to make any payment when due;

9.2 An Insolvency Event occurs or you take step to or suspend payment of your debts;

9.3 You fail in any respect to fully and promptly comply with any obligations owed to us, or if any information supplied by you or any representations made by you are or become materially inaccurate;

9.4 It becomes or may become unlawful for us to maintain or to provide any of the Services or if you or we are requested not to perform or to close out a Contract (or any part thereof) by the FCA and any governmental or regulatory authority whether or not that request is legally binding; or

9.5 We consider it necessary to do so for our own protection including (without limitation) in the following circumstances: (i) protection from fraud; (ii) protection from your default; and (iii) protection from broad-based market failure.

If you become aware of the occurrence of any such event or any circumstances that mean that any such event is likely to occur you must notify us immediately.
