CMS Prime acknowledges its authority to impose such charges as a direct consequence of the charges imposed by the bank or PSP facilitating the transaction. The client agrees and acknowledges that they may be liable for transaction charges corresponding to the charges levied by the bank or PSP. It is important to note that the transaction charges passed on by CMS Prime are separate from any charges or fees imposed by the bank or PSP. CMS Prime shall not be held responsible for any charges or fees imposed by the bank or PSP. By engaging in a transaction with CMS Prime, the Client explicitly consents to the passing on of transaction charges as outlined herein.

If not cleared, CMS Prime holds rights to take action, as deemed appropriate, including but not limited to closing the account or opting for legal route.

  1. RISK OF LOSS

All transactions effected for Customer’s accounts and all fluctuations in the market prices of the Contracts carried in Customer’s accounts are at Customer’s sole risk and Customer shall be solely liable under all circumstances. By execution of this agreement, Customer warrants that Customer is willing and financially able to sustain any such losses. CMS Prime is not responsible for the obligations of the persons with whom Customer’s transactions are not affected, nor is CMS Prime responsible for delays in transmission, delivery or execution of Customer’s orders due to malfunctions of communications facilities or other causes. CMS Prime shall not be liable to Customer for the loss of any margin deposits which is the direct or indirect result of the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, custodianship or assignment for the benefit of creditors of any bank, another clearing broker, and exchange, clearing organization or similar entities. If at any time, Customer is not able, for whatever reason, to communicate with CMS Prime, CMS Prime shall not be responsible for any act, error, delay or omission resulting there from where such loss, damage or cost is a result of Customer’s inability to enter into a transaction. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any instruction and communication transmitted by Customer or on his behalf is made at Customer’s risk and Customer authorizes CMS Prime to rely and act on, and treat as fully authorized and binding upon Customer, any instruction (whether or not in writing) which CMS Prime believes in good faith to have been given by Customer or on his behalf by any agent, attorney or intermediary whom CMS Prime believes in good faith to have been duly authorized by Customer. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that CMS Prime is not responsible for any losses resulting directly or indirectly from any government restriction, exchange ruling, suspension of trading, promulgation of new laws and regulations, actions of independent floor brokers, or other persons beyond CMS Prime’s control, clearing house failures, delays in receipt of funds and margins, hostilities, terrorist acts, war, strikes, national disaster or wire malfunction, delay in mails, electronic transmission or any other delay or inaccuracy in the transmission of orders or the information because of a breakdown or failure of transmission or communication facilities.

  1. TRADING RECOMMENDATIONS

Customer acknowledges that any trading recommendations and market or other information communicated to customer by CMS Prime, although based upon information obtained from sources believed by CMS Prime to be reliable, may be incomplete, may not be verified, are subject to change and errors, may differ from advice given to other customers and may be changed without notice to Customer. Customer understands that CMS Prime or one or more of its affiliates may have a position in and buy or sell Contracts which are the subject of information or recommendations furnished to Customer and that these positions and transactions of CMS Prime or any affiliate may not be consistent with the

 

recommendations furnished to Customer. CMS Prime makes no representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy of trading recommendation and other information, nor to the tax Consequences of Customer’s transactions. The Customer at all times shall enter into Contracts at his own risk and shall limit his dealing with CMS Prime on an execution-only basis.

  1. OVER-THE-COUNTER TRADING

Customer understands that Over-the-counter (“OTC”) products are not traded on exchanges as there is no central clearing mechanism to guarantee OTC trades. CMS Prime may apply its own risk analysis in deciding whether to participate in a particular market where its credit must stand behind each trade. Depending on the policies adopted by CMS Prime as counter-party, the company may decline to execute an order placed by a customer. CMS Prime will rely on their own knowledge of market prices in agreeing to an execution price. The execution price obtained for a customer to a large extent will reflect the true market price of a particular currency. While the OTC market as a whole is highly liquid, certain currencies, are less frequently traded and for this reason, CMS Prime may take longer to fill an order or may obtain an execution price that differs widely from the market.

  1. TRANSACTION CHARGES

    • Exotic Pairs for e.g. (all pairs with ZAR, TRY, SEK, DKK, NOK, HUF, SGD, HKD, RUB, CNH etc.): Keeping a position open for more than 01 day will result in transaction charges from the day of the opening of the position and will vary according to market rates.

Customer hereby agrees to indemnify CMS Prime and hold CMS Prime harmless from any liability, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and any fines or penalties imposed by any governmental agency, contract market, exchange, clearing organization or other self-regulatory body) which CMS Prime may incur or be subjected to with respect to Customer’s account or any transaction or position therein, or which arise out of, or which in any manner or way whatsoever are related to any representation made by Customer in this Agreement, or by Customer’s failure to perform any of his agreements made herein, including, but not limited to, the failure to immediately pay any deficit balances which may arise in Customer’s account(s). This indemnity shall not apply in case CMS Prime shall become a party, without fault on CMS Prime’ part, to any action or proceedings arising out of Customer’s account(s) or orders given by CMS Prime. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer agrees to reimburse CMS Prime on demand for any cost of collection incurred by CMS Prime in collecting any sums

 

owing by Customer under this agreement and any cost incurred by CMS Prime in successfully defending against any claims asserted by Customer, including all attorneys’ fees, interest and expenses.

  1. RECORDING

Customer understands that all conversations regarding Customer’s accounts, orders and contracts between Customer and CMS Prime may be recorded by CMS Prime, and Customer irrevocably consents to such recordings and waives any right to object to CMS Prime’ use of such recordings as evidence in any proceeding or as CMS Prime otherwise deems appropriate. Such recordings shall remain the sole property of CMS Prime.

  1. FOREIGN CURRENCY

If any transaction for Customer’s accounts is affected on any exchange or in any market on which transactions are settled in a foreign currency, any profit or loss arising as a result of a fluctuation in the rate of exchange between such currency and the United States Dollar shall be entirely for Customer’s account and at Customer’s sole risk. CMS Prime is hereby authorized to convert funds in Customer’s accounts into and from such foreign currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the banking and other institutions with which CMS Prime normally conducts such business transactions.

  1. MARGIN REQUIREMENTS

Customer agrees to maintain at all times without demand from CMS Prime margin requirements for the positions in the customer’s account(s). Customer will at all times maintain such margin or collateral for Customer’s account(s) as requested from time to time by CMS Prime in its sole discretion (which requests may be greater than exchange and clearing house requirements). CMS Prime’ determination of the current market value and the amount of additional and/or variation margin shall be conclusive and shall not be challenged by Customer. The Customer agrees to pay immediately and on demand any amount of margin deposits owing with respect to any of his accounts. It is agreed and understood that one hour is deemed to be a reasonable time for the customer to pay margin deposits, provided, however that CMS Prime, in its sole and absolute discretion, may request that deposits be made in a lesser period of time. Margin deposits shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by such other means as CMS Prime may direct and shall be deemed made when received by CMS Prime. CMS Prime’ failure at any time to call for a deposit of margin shall not constitute a waiver of CMS Prime’ rights to do so at any time thereafter, nor shall it create any liability of CMS Prime to Customer.

  1. LIQUIDATION OF POSITIONS

In the event that (a) Customer shall fail to timely deposit or maintain margin or any amount hereunder; (b) Customer (if an individual) shall die or be judicially declared incompetent or (if an entity) shall be dissolved or otherwise terminated; (c) a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or an application for a receiver, custodian, or trustee shall be filed or applied for by or against Customer; (d) the property deposited as collateral is determined by CMS Prime in its sole discretion,

 

regardless of current market quotations, to be inadequate to properly secure the account; or (f) at any time CMS Prime deems it necessary for its protection for any reason whatsoever, CMS Prime may, in the manner it deems appropriate and without prior notice or demand, close out Customer’s open positions in whole or in part, sell any or all of Customer’s property held by CMS Prime, buy any securities, Contracts, or other property for Customer’s account, and may cancel any outstanding open orders and commitments made by CMS Prime on behalf of Customer. Such sale, purchase or cancellation may be made at CMS Prime’ discretion without advertising or notice to Customer or his personal representatives and without tender, demand for margin or payment, or call of any kind upon Customer. It is understood and agreed that CMS Prime has no duty and is not required to liquidate positions in Customer’s account(s) and that the provisions of this paragraph are solely for the protection of CMS Prime. The proceeds of such transactions, if any, are to be applied first to reduce any indebtedness owing by Customer to CMS Prime and thereafter to Customer’s account. CMS Prime may purchase the whole or any part thereof free from any right of redemption. It is understood that a prior demand or call or prior notice of the time and place of such sale or purchase shall not be a waiver of CMS Prime’ right to sell or buy without demand or notice as herein provided. Subject to applicable laws and rules, and in order to prevent non-permitted trading in debit/deficit accounts, profits on any trades executed without CMS Prime’ express permission, for a Customer account that is debit/deficit at the time the order is placed, shall be for CMS Prime’ account if CMS Prime in its discretion so elects. Losses on any such trades shall be jointly and severally borne by the Introducing Broker, if any, and the Customer. Stop-out level is set at 30%. Should the equity in the account fall to or below this threshold, all open positions will be automatically closed. Customer shall remain liable for and pay CMS Prime the amount of any deficiency in any account of Customer with CMS Prime resulting from any transaction described above.

  1. TRADING LIMITATIONS

CMS Prime at any time, in its sole discretion, may limit the number of positions, which Customer may maintain or acquire through CMS Prime, and CMS Prime is under no obligation to affect any transaction for Customer’s accounts, which would create positions in excess of the limit which CMS Prime has set. Customer agrees not to exceed the position limits established for any contract market, whether acting alone or with others, and to promptly advise CMS Prime if Customer is required to file any reports on positions. CMS Prime also reserves the right to decline any additional orders after the limit has been exceeded, and to liquidate all or part of the surpassed positions thereafter. CMS Prime, at its discretion, reserves the rights to take action against profit generated by the client from wrong quotes, misuse of system, hedging and scalping / trading under four minutes. If multiple positions of same symbol are open at the same time, we reserve the rights to withhold the distribution of any realized profits.

  1. ERRORS IN PRICES
  1. It is acknowledged that errors, omissions, or misquotes (“material errors”) may occasionally arise in the pricing of currencies, margin contracts, option contracts, or Leveraged Financial Derivative Products provided by us or any third party. Such errors may result in materially incorrect information

 

regarding market conditions and quotes of underlying instruments prevailing at the relevant time. Material errors encompass incorrect prices, dates, times, margin contracts, option contracts, leveraged financial derivative products, or any other form of erroneous or unclear information. In the event that a trade is executed based on a material error, as reasonably determined by us in good faith, we retain the right, without requiring your consent, to:

    1. Modify the terms and conditions of the margin contract, option contract, or leveraged financial derivative products to reflect what we deem to be the fair price at the time of entering into the margin contract or leveraged financial derivative products, assuming no material error had occurred;
    2. Close the trade and any associated open positions resulting from it;
    3. Declare the margin contract or leveraged financial derivative products void from the outset;
    4. Choose not to take any action to amend or declare void the margin contract, option contract, or leveraged financial derivative products;
    5. Retrieve from your account any historical trading profits that were gained through abuse of liquidity, as determined by us at any point during our trading relationship;
    6. Reject an order or cancel a trade; or
    7. Promptly terminate our trading relationship.
  1. In the event that we reasonably suspect intentional manipulation or exploitation of pricing errors on our trading platform, such actions will be considered a form of trading platform manipulation, and clause 17 of our agreement shall apply.
  1. PRICE, EXECUTION PROCESS AND TRADING PLATFORM MANIPULATION

If, in our sole and absolute discretion, we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have engaged in the manipulation of our prices, execution processes, or trading platform, without any obligation to provide prior notice to you, we reserve the right to take the following actions:

  • Enforce the trade(s) against you, specifically those trades that result in you owing monetary

obligations to us;

  • Declare all your trades as void ab initio if they are trades that result in us owing monetary obligations

to you;

  • Retain any funds suspected to have been derived from such activities;
  • Implement any necessary corrections or adjustments to your account;
  • Close your account; and/or
  • Take any other appropriate actions that we deem necessary.

These actions may be taken independently or in combination, and we shall exercise our judgment to determine the appropriate response based on the circumstances at hand.

  1. EXPERT ADVISER (EA) TRADING RESTRICTIONS

 

  1. To ensure the stability and integrity of the CMS Prime platforms and Products, the usage of Expert Adviser (EA) strategies on our platform is strictly prohibited unless explicitly permitted under below mentioned conditions:

In order to enable EA trading, clients must formally request permission and acknowledge their intention to utilize an EA either during the account opening process or prior to implementing such a strategy. There shall be no additional fees imposed for this mode of trading. However, it is imperative that CMS Prime reserves the right to reverse orders executed through EA methods on accounts that are not designated as EA accounts or where the necessary advance confirmation has not been obtained.

Clients are required to follow the prescribed procedure for obtaining approval, ensuring compliance with our policies and regulations surrounding EA trading. Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in the reversal of trades and appropriate actions taken by CMS Prime to maintain the stability and reliability of our platforms and Products.

  1. MACHINE GUNING POLICY

To ensure the stability and reliability of the CMS Prime platform and its products, a policy has been established. For the purpose of this policy, CMS Prime defines “machine gunning” as the submission of multiple orders of the same contract/instrument type (e.g., EURUSD) in rapid succession and in the same direction, involving a significant order size.

The objective of this policy is to restrict clients from submitting multiple orders in quick succession as a means to exceed our maximum order size limitations within a short timeframe. Such activity can disrupt the pricing we receive from liquidity providers, thus affecting all our clients. Additionally, this policy aims to mitigate the potential for our platform to be exploited for market abuse.

By implementing this policy, CMS Prime seeks to maintain fair and orderly trading conditions, safeguard the integrity of our platform, and protect the interests of all clients. Any violations of this policy may result in appropriate measures being taken by CMS Prime, including but not limited to order cancellations, account restrictions, or termination, as deemed necessary.

  1. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER

CMS Prime explicitly states that it does not endorse, maintain, or provide support for any third-party software or tools installed or used in conjunction with the trading platforms it offers, including but not limited to “Expert Advisors” (EAs). By installing, accessing, or utilizing such third-party software or tools, including any charts, signals, analytical tools, or reports provided by such third parties, CMS Prime hereby disclaims all liabilities and losses associated with the third-party software or tools that you choose to employ alongside our trading platform(s).

If you choose to utilize an EA and do not possess a Virtual Private Server subscription, it is important to note that the EA will cease to operate once you log out of Meta Trader. While it is not necessary to

 

constantly monitor the markets when using EAs, it is essential to recognize that any single point of failure (e.g., computer, internet connection, Meta Trader 4) can disrupt the functioning of your EA. Therefore, please exercise due caution when deciding whether to employ EAs. As these EAs are created by separate and independent third parties, CMS Prime holds no responsibility for their completeness, reliability, or accuracy. In simpler terms, their usage is entirely at your own risk.

  1. STOP LOSS AND LIMIT ORDERS

The availability of stop loss orders and limit orders is limited to specific instruments as determined by CMS Prime. We reserve the right to decline the acceptance of any stop loss orders or limit orders for any trades. In the event that such orders are accepted, we retain the discretion to place or cancel them at any time during the trading hours of the exchange where the underlying instrument is traded.

It is important to note that regardless of the trading resources available in your account at the time an order is filled, you shall remain responsible for any losses incurred as a result of the execution of an order.

Please be aware of the risks associated with the filling of orders and understand that you bear the ultimate liability for any potential losses arising from such order execution, irrespective of the resources present in your account.

OUR RIGHT TO IMPOSE A STOP LOSS ORDER

We reserve the right to impose a stop loss order on your account in the following circumstances:

    1. If we have reasonable grounds to believe that you will fail to make payment for any amount that is currently or may become due to us;
    2. If you provide us with any statement that we have reasonable grounds to believe is false or may not be true;
    3. If you fail to fulfil any obligation that you have undertaken to us.

In such cases, we may exercise our discretion to impose a stop loss order on your account as a precautionary measure to protect our interests. This action is intended to mitigate any potential financial risks arising from the aforementioned circumstances.

  1. OPTION TRANSACTIONS

Customer understands that some exchange clearing houses have established exercise requirements for the tender of exercise instructions and that options will become worthless in the event that Customer does not deliver instructions by such expiration times. At least two business days prior to the first notice day in the case of long positions in futures or forward contracts, and at least two business days prior to the last trading day in the case of short positions in open futures or forward contracts or long and short positions in options, Customer agrees that Customer will either give CMS Prime instructions to liquidate or make or take delivery under such futures or forward contracts, or to liquidate, exercise, or allow the expiration of such options, and will deliver to CMS Prime sufficient funds and/or any documents required in connection with exercise or delivery. If such instructions or such funds and/or documents, with regard to option transactions, are

 

not received by CMS Prime prior to the expiration of the option, CMS Prime may permit an option to expire. Customer also understands that certain exchanges and clearinghouses automatically exercise some “in the money” options unless instructed otherwise. Customer acknowledges full responsibility for taking action either to exercise or to prevent exercise of an option contract, as the case may be; CMS Prime is not required to take any action with respect to an option, including without limitation any action to exercise a valuable option contract prior to its expiration or to prevent the automatic exercise of an option, except upon Customer’s express instructions. Customer further understands that CMS Prime also has established exercise cut-off times which may be different from the times established by the contract markets in clearing houses. In the event that timely exercise and assignment instructions are not given, Customer hereby agrees to waive any and all claims for damage or loss Customer might have against CMS Prime arising out of the fact that an option was or was not exercised. Customer understands that CMS Prime randomly assigns exercise notices to Customers, that all short option positions are subject to assignment at any time, including positions established on the same day that exercises are assigned, and that exercise assignment notices are allocated randomly from among all Customers’ short option positions which are subject to assignment.
