5. RISK ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

5.1 CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT TRADING AND INVESTMENT IN LEVERAGED OTC SPOT FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE, INVOLVES AN EXTREME DEGREE OF RISK, AND IS GENERALLY APPROPRIATE ONLY FOR PERSONS WHO CAN ASSUME RISK OF LOSS IN EXCESS OF THEIR MARGIN DEPOSIT. Customer understands that because of the low margin / high leverage normally available in Foreign Currency and Precious Metals trading, price changes in Foreign Currency and Precious Metals Contracts may result in significant losses. Such losses may substantially exceed Customer’s investment and margin deposit. By Customer directing BLUE SUISSE to enter into any Foreign Currency and Precious Metals Contract, any profit or loss arising as a result of a fluctuation in the exchange rate affecting such Currency will be entirely for the Customer’s account and risk, all initial and subsequent deposits for margin purposes shall be made in U.S. dollars, in such amounts as BLUE SUISSE may in its sole discretion require; and BLUE SUISSE is authorised to convert funds in Customer’s account for margin into and from such Foreign Currency at a rate of exchange determined by BLUE SUISSE in its sole discretion on the basis of the then prevailing money market rates. Customer warrants that the Customer is willing and able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risk of Foreign Currency and/or Precious Metals trading. In consideration of BLUE SUISSE carrying his/her Account(s), Customer agrees not to hold BLUE SUISSE responsible for losses incurred through following its trading recommendations or suggestions or those of its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Customer recognises that guarantees of profit or freedom from loss cannot be given and it is impossible to predict performance in Foreign Currency and Precious Metals trading. Customer acknowledges that Customer has received no such guarantees from BLUE SUISSE or from any of its representatives or any Introducing Broker or other entity with whom Customer is conducting his/her BLUE SUISSE account and has not entered into this Customer Agreement in consideration of or in reliance upon any such guarantees or similar representations. 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 risk, and Customer shall be solely lliable therefore under all circumstances. Customer represents and warrants that Customer is willing and financially able to sustain such losses, and that the trading of Spot Foreign Exchange (Currencies) and/or Precious Metals is a suitable investment vehicle for the Customer. BLUE SUISSE is not responsible and liable for delays or partial or total failures in any online (electronic) Trading Platforms or any communications facility or other causes beyond BLUE SUISSE’s reasonable direct control. The Customer understands and recognises that the transactions to be conducted pursuant to this Customer Agreement are NOT conducted on a Regulated Market or Exchange. Customer represents that he/she/it is aware of the risks inherent in the trading of OTC Foreign Exchange (Currencies) and/or Precious Metals and is financially able to bear such risks and withstand any losses incurred.

If the Customer opts to be treated as a Professional Client, this would mean that the Customer has chosen to waive some of the protections afforded in terms of the Laws to Retail Clients. BLUE SUISSE may, at its discretion, accept such request by the Customer to be treated as a Professional Client, but only if the relevant regulatory criteria and procedure established by the Laws are fulfilled and in accordance with BLUE SUISSE’s internal client classification policy and procedures. Further information on this matter will be provided to the Customer upon request.

(b) return to investors any instruments belonging to them and held, administered or managed on their behalf in connection with licensed business or, where this is not possible, their monetary equivalent or value.

8.5 The process leading to a possible claim for compensation payable by the Investor Compensation Scheme is triggered by a determination which the MFSA will make to the Investor Compensation Scheme in accordance with the terms stipulated in the Investor Compensation Scheme Regulations. If the Customer qualifies as an “investor” as defined in the Investor Compensation Scheme Regulations, the Customer may make a claim against the Investor Compensation Scheme subject to the terms and conditions set out in the said Regulations, in respect of all his investments, taken in aggregate, with the licence holder concerned. It should be noted that certain categories of professional and institutional investors are excluded from claiming under the Investor Compensation Scheme Further information on the Investor Compensation Scheme is made available on the following website:
http://www.compensationschemes.org.mt/, or may be provided by BLUE SUISSE upon the Customer’s request.

(ii) Poor investment advice;

(iii) A failed investment that had been duly executed;

(iv) Inflation;

(v) A decrease in interest rates; and

17.2 The Inducements which BLUE SUISSE may be entitled to receive from or pay to third parties as at the date of this Agreement, are summarised below. BLUE SUISSE will provide the Customer, upon request, with further details on the existence, nature and amount, or where the amount cannot be ascertained, the method of calculation of the amount, of the relevant Inducements

17.3 BLUE SUISSE has concluded or may conclude agreements regarding the introduction or referral of clients with its Introducing Brokers, in terms of which BLUE SUİSSE is or may be obliged to pay remuneration to the Introducing Broker. The amount of such remuneration depends on the type and the volume of the transactions carried out by the introduced client as well as on the Introducing Broker concerned. Prices applicable to clients which are introduced through an Introducing Broker are higher than those applicable to clients which were not so introduced as set out in the Price and Condition Table. In the case of introduced clients, the remuneration payable to the Introducer will be based on one of two different models: either (i) the first model, the remuneration is calculated as a mark-up to rate applicable to the spreads as may be negotiated with such Introducing Broker; in this case the mark-up for the Introducing Broker widens the spreads for the bid and ask price on the Internet Trading Platform and the Introducing Broker will receive the mark-up described above; or (ii) in the second model the client will be charged the rates as set out in Price and Condition Table and the Introducing Broker mark-up is calculated as extra commission to each trade, and the Introducing Broker will be entitled to receive the fixed commission as may be negotiated.

17.4 Customer should also understand that Introducing Brokers or third party advisors may not be regulated by a regulatory authority. The Customer further understands and agrees that the Introducing Broker or third party advisor shall have the right to access information regarding the account of the Customer with BLUE SUİSSE including but not limited to account information, Customer address, phone number, e-mail address. The Introducing Broker or third party advisor will not have trade authorisation privileges unless granted in writing by the Customer.

17.5 BLUE SUİSSE IS A WHOLLY SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT ENTITY FROM ANY INTRODUCING BROKER WITH WHICH IS HAS A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. THE CLEARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN BLUE SUİSSE AND INTRODUCING BROKER DOES NOT ESTABLISH A JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP AND ANY SUCH INTRODUCING BROKER IS NOT AN AGENT OR EMPLOYEE OF BLUE SUİSSE. Furthermore

(a) BLUE SUISSE does not control, and cannot endorse or vouch for the accuracy or completeness of any information Customer may have received or may receive in the future from the Introducing Broker or from any other person not employed by BLUE SUISSE regarding Foreign Currency and/or Precious Metals trading or the risks involved in such trading.

(b) BLUE SUISSE provides risk disclosure information to all new Customers when they open accounts. Customers should read that information carefully, and should not rely on any information to the contrary from any other source.

(c) Customers acknowledge that no promises have been made by BLUE SUISSE or any individual associated with BLUE SUISSE regarding future profits or losses in Customer’s account. Customer understands that trading involves a substantial risk of loss and that many people lose money trading.

(d) If Introducing Broker or any other third party provides Customer with information or advice on Foreign Currency, Precious Metals or exchange trading, Customer agrees that BLUE SUISSE shall in no way be responsible for any loss to Customer resulting from Customer’s use of such information or advice

(e) To the extent Customer has previously been led to believe or believes that utilizing any third party trading system, course, program, research or recommendations provided by Introducing Broker or any other third party will result in trading profits, Customer hereby acknowledges and understands that all Foreign Currency, Precious Metals and exchange trading, including trading done pursuant to a system, course, program, research or recommendations of Introducing Broker or another third party involves a substantial risk of loss. In addition, Customer hereby acknowledges, agrees and understands that the use of a trading system, course, program, research or recommendations of Introducing Broker or another third party will not necessarily result in profits, avoid losses or limit losses.

(f) Customer understands that Introducing Broker and many third party vendors of trading courses, programs, research or recommendations are not regulated by a government agency or regulatory authority

(g) Because the risk factor is high in Foreign Currency or Precious Metals transactions trading, only genuine “risk” funds should be used in such trading. If Customer does not have the extra capital the Customer can afford to lose, Customer should not trade in the Foreign Currency and/or Precious Metals markets

(h) Customer understands and acknowledges that BLUE SUISSE may compensate Introducing Broker for introducing Customer to BLUE SUISSE and that such compensation may be on a per-trade basis or other basis. Such compensation to the Introducing Broker may require the Customer to incur a mark up above and beyond the ordinary spread generally provided by BLUE SUISSE.

(i) Customer understands and agrees that if Customer’s account with BLUE SUISSE is introduced by an Introducing Broker, that Introducing Broker shall have the right to access Customer’s BLUE SUISSE account, but the Introducing Broker shall not have the right to enter into any trades on Customer’s BLUE SUISSE account unless authorised by the Customer under a power of attorney between Customer and Introducing Broker granting such Introducing Broker the right to trade on Customer’s account

17.6 The Company reserves the right to charge a fixed account maintenance fee of USD 70 every 3 months for inactive accounts (no movements within the last 3 months), assuming the account has the available funds.

Where the organisational or administrative arrangements made by BLUE SUISSE to manage conflicts of interests are not sufficient to ensure, with reasonable confidence, that risks of damage to the Customer’s interests will be prevented, BLUE SUISSE will disclose the nature and/or sources of conflicts of interest to the Customer before undertaking business on the Customer’s behalf
