IMPORTANT NOTICES
Trading on the EB markets implies that the transactions are not carried out on a regulated stock exchange. There are no guarantees as to the creditworthiness of the counterparty to your position in assets, CFDs and Spread Bets. In addition, there may be some cases where there is a reduction in liquidity, leading to dilution of trades in assets, CFDs and Spread Bets in and on commodities, assets, metals and indices, preventing the liquidation of an adverse position and with the possibility of a substantial financial loss.
BRTrader does not provide investment advice. Recommendations, signals and information provided or distributed by BRTrader are general in nature and are based solely on the judgment of BRTrader personnel or outside information providers. These market recommendations may or may not be congruent with the market positions of BRTrader, its marketing partners or employees.

The foregoing with the understanding that the impossibility to satisfy the supplementary margin requirements may lead to the liquidation of open positions, with the consequent losses. BRTrader reserves the right to refuse to accept an order.

(i) Any profits or losses arising from Asset, CFD and Differential Bets fluctuations shall be at the sole account and risk of the Client; (ii) all initial and subsequent deposits for margin purposes shall be made in United States dollars, euros, pounds sterling or Japanese yen, in amounts as BRTrader may specify at its sole discretion; and (iii) BRTrader is authorized to convert funds from the Client’s account to and from the specified currency at the exchange rate determined by BRTrader at its absolute discretions, on the basis of quotations in force in the currency markets.
19. INDEMNISATION
19.1 The Customer agrees to indemnify and defend BRTrader, its subsidiaries, marketing partners, agents, employees, successors and designated persons (“BRTrader Indemnities”) for and against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by any of the Indemnified Persons of BRTrader as a result of the Customer’s failure to fulfill its obligations in time and form, or if any of its commitments or guarantees prove to be incorrect or certain.
19.2 The Customer also agrees to pay BRTrader Compensators as soon as possible for all damages, costs and expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by the implementation of the terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between BRTrader and the Customer.
19.3 In addition to the limitations of liability specified in this Agreement, BRTrader Compensators shall not be held liable and shall be exempt from claims and losses incurred if they were due to: (i) Actions or omissions of the Client; (ii) Any action or omission by a person with access to the Client’s account, whether or not the Client has authorized such access; (iii) System and equipment imperfections and malfunctions (whether the Customer’s equipment or BRTrader), system interruptions or unavailability; (iv) Delays, failures or errors in the implementation of the instructions; (v) Instructions, requests, service orders, demands or any inaccurate or incomplete communications received by BRTrader Customer; or (e) That the Client or any third party uses to conduct an account investigation, analysis, or other information transactions, such as news or market information, for any purposes, for which a trading platform, financial information, or any information is made available, or for which any information or information is negotiated.
In accordance with this section, BRTrader shall be entitled to deduct liabilities from the Client’s account.
20. MARKET ABUSES AND MANIPULATION
20.1 BRTrader does not allow the practice of financial arbitration when operating, and strictly prohibits any form of price manipulation in its service, as well as the conduct of transactions based on errors, omissions or wrong quotations.
20.2 Price latency, connectivity delays and price data loading problems often create situations in which published prices do not accurately reflect market quotations. The concepts of financial arbitration and scalping (high-pressure technique of accumulating profits in very rapid and small increases), as well as taking advantage of these delays of the Internet, cannot exist in EB markets, where the Customer is buying or selling directly from and to the market maker.
20.3 Any transaction based on price latency or errors in the price burden may be the subject of intervention, which includes the right to cancel any transactions that BRTrader has determined to be the result of any of these practices, as well as to revoke profits, extend differentials, block operations and any other necessary account corrections or adjustments without notice.
20.4 If BRTrader suspects or has reason to believe that the Customer abused the terms and conditions by hedging positions inter (through other trading accounts held with BRTrader) or externally (through other trading accounts held with external parties), BRTrader reserves the right to cancel any trades or profits associated with the Customer’s account(s).
21. MARKET ABUSE
21.1 BRTrader may cover its liability to you by opening similar positions in other institutions or in the underlying market. The result of this will be that, when you trade with us, these may, through our coverage, exert a distorting influence on the underlying market for that index, in addition to the impact it may have on our own prices. This creates opportunities for market abuse.
21.2 The Client declares, warrants and agrees that this statement and warranty will be deemed to be repeated whenever the Client opens or closes a position, that:
(a) The Client will not carry out or have carried out with us a transaction relating to a particular index or any other CFD price if this entails that the Client or other persons with whom the Client acts in concert are exposed to the price of the underlying financial instrument, which may create a situation of market abuse.
This exposure may be equal to or greater than the level of a declarable interest in the relevant financial instrument. For such purposes, the level of a declarable interest shall be the level in force at the material time, as established by other types of markets in which the underlying financial instrument is traded; and
(b) You shall not undertake or have undertaken any transaction with us in relation to:
(i) a placement, issuance, distribution or other similar event;
(ii) an offer, takeover, merger or other like event; or
(iii) any other corporate financial activity in which You are involved or interested.
21.3 In the event that the Client opens or closes a transaction or executes an order in breach of the commitments and guarantees assumed, or if BRTrader has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Customer has done so, BRTrader may, in its sole discretion and without having an obligation to inform the Client of the reasons, close that transaction and any other operation or transactions that it may have open at the time, if applicable, and also in its absolute cancellate any operation or profit associated with the Client’s account(s).
21.4 The Customer acknowledges that operating is a speculative business, and agrees not to undertake any transaction with us in connection with corporate finance activities.
21.5 The Customer acknowledges that it would be inappropriate to trade in the underlying market if the sole purpose of such transaction was to affect our purchase or sale prices, and therefore agrees not to carry out any such transactions.
22. EXECUTION OF ORDERS, TOPS AND LIMITS
22.1 BRTrader shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to execute any orders that it may choose to accept, in its sole discretion, following the Client’s oral, written or computer instructions, through the official channels of Communication established between BRTrader and the Client.
22.2 BRTrader reserves the right to refuse to accept an order, instruction or request from the Customer.
22.3 BRTrader may, in its sole discretion, allow the Customer to specify the closing price of a transaction on the trading platform through a “loss closure” or “profit closure”, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the terms and conditions that BRTrader may implement from time to time.
22.4 “loss closure” means an offer to close a transaction at a price previously determined by the Customer that, in the event that it has been opened by a purchase offer for a specific amount of a given instrument, is lower than the opening price of the opening transaction, and in the case of a trade opened through the sale offer of a specific quantity of a particular instrument, it is higher than the transaction opening price.
22.5 “Closure with profits” means an offer to close a transaction at a price previously determined by the Client that, in the event that it has been opened by a purchase offer for a specific amount of a given instrument, is higher than the opening price of the transaction, and in the case of a trade opened through the offer to sell a specific quantity of a particular instrument, it is lower than the price of opening the trade.
22.6 In the event of the Customer’s offer and the acceptance by BRTrader of an order, Customer authorizes BRTrader to close the transaction at the closing price with loss or closing with profits, as applicable, and is accepted in the order, without further instructions from Customer.
22.7 BRTrader may, at its sole discretion, close the transaction when the price quoted by BRTrader on the trading platform is equal to the price accepted by BRTrader for such an order.
22.8 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that BRTrader will not be obliged to close a transaction that does not comply with the other agreed limitations for such transaction.
22.9 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, due to market volatility and factors beyond the control of BRTrader, BRTrader cannot guarantee that a loss-closing order will be executed at the level specified in the Customer’s order. In that case, BRTrader will close the transaction at the next best price.
22.10 If, before the Customer’s “Limit Order” offer to open or close a transaction is accepted by BRTrader the BRTrader quote fluctuates for the benefit of Customer (for example, if the price drops when Customer buys or rises when sells), Customer agrees that BRTrader will execute the closing transaction at the price specified by Customer and not at the best. The Customer agrees that BRTrader may retain such price fluctuation for its own account.
22.11 The Customer has been informed that BRTrader receives part of its income from the differential of each transaction. The differential is the difference between the sale and purchase prices of the quote of a transaction. Therefore, in the event that the fair market price reduces the differential of BRTrader in a specific transaction, BRTrader may, at its sole discretion, choose not to execute such transaction in which case it may send the Customer a modified quote for consideration. BRTrader may execute a transaction, at its sole discretion, if the fair market price does not affect and/or increases the transaction difference.
23. RISK RECOGNITION
23.1 The Customer acknowledges that investing in leveraged and non-leveraged transactions is speculative, involves a high level of risk and is only suitable for individuals who can assume the risk of losing their entire margin deposit, as notified at the beginning of this Agreement and that it is here to be reproduced as if it were inserted to the letter.
23.2 The Customer understands that, due to the low margin normally required in EB transactions, price fluctuations in the EB markets may result in significant losses, so that, at this time, the Customer disclaims any civil, criminal, administrative, tax liability to BRTrader for decisions that may be taken in implementation of this Agreement.
23.3 The Customer warrants that he/she wishes, and is in financial and other capacity to, assume the risks of operating in EB markets and, in return for BRTrader mantaining his/her account(s), the Customer agrees not to hold BRTrader and any of its subsidiaries, marketing partners or agents liable for any losses incurred by the Client.
23.4 The Customer acknowledges that in EB markets transactions it is impossible to guarantee the obtaining of profits or that there will be no losses.
23.5 You acknowledge that you have not received any such warranties from BRTrader or any of its representatives, derivative agents or other entities with whom you have entered into your account at BRTrader, and that you do not have signed this Agreement in consideration of, or based on, such guarantees or similar commitments.
23.6 The high level of leverage obtained by trading in Assets, CFDs and Differential Bets may act against you and also in your favor. Leverage can result in large losses and also large gains.
23.7 In times of extreme volatility it can be difficult or impossible to execute commands.
24. RECOMMENDATIONS AND MARKET INFORMATION
24.1 The Customer acknowledges that: (i) all recommendations, signals and market information communicated to the Customer by any means by BRTrader and any of its subsidiaries, marketing partners, agents or persons within BRTrader, do not constitute offers to buy and sell EB contracts, and that BRTrader does not provide investment advice; (ii) such recommendations and information, although generally based on data obtained from sources which BRTrader considers to be reliable, may be based solely on opinions that may be incomplete and unverified; and (iii) BRTrader does no guarantee, assumes no commitments, and disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information or market opinions transmitted to the Client, as well as for losses and damages, including, inter alia, losses of margins or profits, derived directly or indirectly from its own recommendations or information.
24.2 The Customer understands that it is his/her sole responsibility to assess the risks and benefits of any action he/she may take with BRTrader, either as a result of the information provided by BRTrader or otherwise.
24.3 The Customer acknowledges that BRTrader and/or its managers, advisers, marketing partners, partners, shareholders or representatives may hold positions in, or attempt to execute trade or civil acts of Assets, CFDs and Differential Bets, which are the subject of the market opinions communicated to the Customer, and that the market positions of BRTrader or any of the aforementioned executives, advisors, marketing associates, associate, shareholder or representative may not coincide with the opinions received by the Client from BRTrader.
24.4 The Customer acknowledges that BRTrader assumes no commitment as to the tax implications and tax treatment of the activities relating to this Agreement.

28. DISCLOSURE OF THE DERIVATION OF THE MARKETING PARTNER
28.1 BRTrader may hire marketing partners or derivatives (the “marketing partners”), wholly separate and independent of each other and of BRTrader. No agreement between BRTrader and the marketing partner will result in the formation of a joint venture or association. The marketing partner is not an agent or employee of BRTrader
28.2 BRTrader does not control and cannot assert the accuracy or completeness of any information that the Customer may have received or may receive in the future from any marketing partners of BRTrader or any other person not employed by, or acting on behalf of, BRTrader, about the risks involved in Asset, CFD and Differential Betting transactions.
28.3 As the marketing partner is not an employee or agent of BRTrader, it does not endorse the services provided by the Marketing Partner. It will be the responsibility of the Customer to carry out the due diligence process on the marketing partner before contracting any of its services.
28.4 The Customer understands that in order to operate with BRTrader there must be a profile directly on BRTrader. BRTrader makes available to Customers appropriate risk disclosure information when they open their profiles. Customers should read the information carefully and do not rely on any information from other sources that are not verified or authorized.
28.5 The Customer acknowledges that BRTrader, its subordinates, agents or individuals associated with BRTrader do not assume any commitments or warranties in relation to future losses or profits on the Customer’s account.
28.6 The Customer understands that trading with Assets, CFDs and Differential Bets is very risky, that many people lose money in these transactions and all of them, including those carried out on the basis of a system, course, program, research or recommendations of a marketing partner, merchant or other third parties entail substantial losses risks. Furthermore, the Customer acknowledges, accepts and understands that the use of a system, course, program, research or recommendations of a marketing partner, sales agent or other third party will not necessarily result in earning profits or avoiding or limiting losses risks.
28.7 Since the risk factor is high in Assets, CFDs and Differential Bets, if the Client does not have additional capital to bear losses, he should carefully consider the convenience of participating in these investments.
28.8 The Customer understands and acknowledges that BRTrader may compensate the marketing partner for deriving a Customer BRTrader and that such compensation may be based on the transactions carried out or on another basis. Moreover, the Customer has the right to be informed about the precise nature of such compensation.

The Client authorizes BRTrader to debit the Client’s account in accordance with the terms agreed between the Client and the merchant, which will be established in the NA.
29.6 Client acknowledges that the merchant agent and many third party providers of systems, courses, programs, research or recommendations for goods and services covered by this Agreement may not be regulated by a governmental agency.

29.7 The Customer acknowledges that he or the trader may choose to use an automated trading system. The Customer acknowledges that BRTrader assumes no responsibility for such system. The Customer is aware of the trading volume and the resulting commissions that such systems may generate, as well as the repercussions that this could have on account performance.
