You may only complete Transactions on the Trading Platform for the minimum number of units as set forth on the Trading Platform as the “Unit Amount”, and in multiples of such “Unit Amount” up until the maximum amount permitted by the Trading Platform. You acknowledge and agree that we may set, in our sole and absolute discretion, the “Unit Amount” for each Underlying Asset.
15.11. Each Transaction opened by you, and any Transaction completed, will be binding on you notwithstanding that by opening the Transaction you may have exceeded any credit or other limit applicable to you or in respect of your dealings with us.

In some cases, Transactions may only be traded during the time when the relevant Underlying Market is open. Trading Hours are displayed on the Trading Platform under the details link for each specific Underlying Asset. It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of which Underlying Asset may be affected.
15.13. Without prejudice to any of our right hereunder, if, prior to the acceptance of your Order to open or close a Transaction, we become aware that any of the factors set out in paragraph 15.14 herein have not been met, we reserve the right to reject your Order outright. If we have, nevertheless, already opened or closed a Transaction prior to becoming aware that a factor set out in paragraph 15.14 hereinhas not been met, we may, e in our discretion, either treat such a Transaction as void from the outset or close it at our then prevailing price. However, we may, in our absolute discretion, allow you to open or, as the case may be, close the Transaction in which case you will be bound by the opening or closure of such Transaction, notwithstanding that the factors in paragraph 15.14 were not satisfied.
15.14. The factors referred to in paragraph 15.13 include the following:
15.15. If, before your offer to open or close a Transaction is accepted by us, our quote moves to your advantage (for example, if the price goes down as you buy or the price goes up as you sell) you agree that we can (but do not have to) pass such price improvement on to you. The effect of such action being that the level at which you offer to open or close a Transaction will, upon acceptance by us, be altered to the more favorable price. You acknowledge that it is in your best interests for us to alter the level of your offer in the manner contemplated in this paragraph and you agree that any offer altered in accordance with this paragraph, once accepted by us, results in a fully binding agreement between us. Without derogating from the foregoing, you acknowledge that it is within our complete discretion as to when we will pass on a price improvement to you. You should also note that we will only pass on a price improvement within allowable limits.
15.16. Use of any robots, spiders or other automated data entry system with the Trading Platform is expressly prohibited, unless you receive express written consent by the Company prior to activating the robot.

15.17. The Company is under no obligation, unless otherwise agreed in the Agreement, to monitor or advise the Client on the status of any Transaction or to close out any Client’s Open Positions.

It is the Client’s responsibility to be aware of his positions at all times.
15.18. Benefits – Dividends. An adjustment to your Trading Account may be made in respect of a dividend or distribution attributable to any specific Underlying Asset and shall be calculated by us. Where you hold a Long Position, we adjust your Trading Account in your favor by the dividend multiplied by the long quantity as adjusted, if necessary, for taxation. Where you hold a short position, we adjust your Trading Account in our favor by the dividend multiplied by the sort quantity as adjusted, if necessary, for taxation.

Depending on the circumstances of each event, our policy is to close out any customer open positions at the market price immediately prior to the event taking place. As a result of such event, if any Underlying Asset becomes subject to an adjustment as the result of a takeover or transformation action we shall determine the appropriate adjustment to be made to the contract price or contract quantity as we consider appropriate to account for the diluting or concentrating effect of the action. Such adjustment shall represent the economic equivalent of the rights and obligations of us and you immediately prior to the action.
15.20. Insolvency. If a company, whose Underlying Asset forms the CFD or Binary Option goes into insolvency or is otherwise dissolved, we shall close any such of your open Transactions in CFD or Binary Option of that Underlying Asset. The closing date shall be the date of insolvency.

16.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the prices quoted on the Trading Platform move against the price of your Transaction, we may, without obligation or liability, request that you increase the amount in your Trading Account, within a short period of time, to cover the Difference and/or meet the Maintenance Margin requirements for the purpose of keeping a Transaction open.

It is your responsibility to monitor, at all times, the amount deposited in your Trading Account against the amount of any margin required as a result of your trading decisions.
16.3. We may specify on the Trading Platform expiration times and dates for various Underlying Assets traded on the Trading Platform.
