Comercial Terms Olikriet Capital Limited

  • 1. INTRODUCTION

    Investing in our Products or other financial derivatives instruments carries a high level of risk to your capital, which may not be appropriate for all investors. The prices of our Products may change to your disadvantage very quickly. When investing in CFD Margin Trades, it is possible to lose more than your investment and you may be required to make further payments. Therefore you should ensure you understand the risks involved and seek independent, financial and professional advice if necessary.

    1.1 Our agreement with you.

    1.1.1 This document (referred to as the “Terms”) is part of a wider agreement between you (also referred to as “our client”, “your” and “you”) and Olikriet Capital Limited (also referred to as “Olikriet Capital ”, “we”, “us” and “our”) in relation to your CFD investment activities carried on with us.

These documents are available on our Website and through our Platform and are together referred to as the Agreement. In accordance with clause 9, we will notify you of any changes to the Agreement. You must ensure that you keep informed of these changes. If we agree to provide you with our sales trader service, we will provide confirmation in writing. Any additional terms offered by us in writing and agreed by you in writing in relation to that service will form part of the Agreement.

    1.1.4 There are additional documents and information available to you on our Website and through our Platform which contain useful information but are not part of the Agreement. These include our Summary of Conflicts of Interest Policy, our Privacy and Security Policy and our Complaints Procedure.

    1.1.5 For your own benefit and protection, you should take sufficient time to read the Agreement, as well as the additional documents and information available on our Website and through our Platform, before you apply to open an Account and/or place any Order. If you do not understand any aspect of this Agreement, you should contact us before opening an Account, or you should seek independent professional advice.

    1.1.6 It is our intention that this Agreement contains all the terms and conditions that govern our relationship and your activities carried on with us in relation to the Platform and supersedes any prior oral or written representations and/or agreements between you and us which relate to our Platform.
