Trading Terms & Conditions

The domain www.aimsfx.com (the “Main Website”) is owned by the Company. The Company may also operate other websites, mainly for promotional and marketing purposes, in languages other than English.

The official language of the Company is English. The Client should always refer to the legal documentation posted on the Main Website for all information and disclosures about the Company and its activities.

Where a Client prefers a signed Agreement, the Client may send two copies to the Company, which will sign, stamp and return one copy to the Client.

Access Codes — the credentials provided by the Company for accessing its trading platform or Client portal.

Balance — the total financial result of all fully executed transactions and deposits/withdrawals to or from an account. Equity — Balance +/- open positions +/- swap − commission. Free Margin — Equity − Margin.

Margin — the funds required to open a position. Margin Level — (Equity / Margin) × 100. Electronic Systems — any trading facility offered by the Company (e.g. MetaTrader, web-based and mobile platforms) including the Client portal.

Introducing Broker — any entity or person obtaining remuneration from the Company and/or Clients for introducing Clients to the Company under an Introducers Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes any previous agreement between the Company and the Client on the same subject matter and sets out the basis on which the Company provides investment and ancillary services and Financial Instruments.

Depending on the service and instrument, the Company is subject to the Regulations, data protection law and other applicable codes issued by the LFSA. The Agreement should be read in its entirety before deciding to acquire or hold any Financial Instrument.

The Company provides execution of orders on behalf of Clients in Contracts for Differences (CFDs) on spot products, as well as options, futures, swaps, forward rate agreements and other derivative contracts relating to securities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, financial indices or measures.

Ancillary services include safekeeping and administration of financial instruments, granting credit or loans connected to a transaction, foreign exchange services connected to investment services, and investment research and financial analysis.

These transactions are not admitted to trading on a Regulated Market or MTF, and do not constitute the provision of investment advice. The Client gives express consent for executing such transactions.

CFDs on spot products are leveraged products that involve a high level of risk. It is possible for the Client to lose all invested capital, so these products may not be suitable for everyone.

The Client acknowledges that the value of any investment may increase or decrease and may even become of no value, and accepts the great risk of incurring losses as a result of buying and/or selling any Financial Instrument.

General views expressed on markets, strategies, trading suggestions or research are not investment advice or recommendations. Each trading decision is made independently by the Client.

The Client is responsible for keeping Access Codes confidential and for all orders placed through the Client’s account, including by any Authorised Person.

The Company is not liable for any loss arising from unauthorised access where this is not due to the Company’s wilful default or fraud. The Client must notify the Company immediately if Access Codes are lost or known by an unauthorised party.

The Company executes instructions through its Electronic Systems. Orders include market (instant) orders, pending orders (Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop), and protective orders such as Stop Loss, Take Profit and Trailing Stop.

Telephone conversations and electronic communications between the Client and the Company may be recorded and used as evidence of instructions given.

The Company may make corporate-event adjustments and reserves the right to amend, decline or close positions in defined circumstances, including margin call or stop-out levels.

The Company may refuse to transmit or execute any order in defined circumstances, without being obliged to give reasons. Such refusal does not affect any obligation the Client may have towards the Company.

Transactions are settled in accordance with normal practice and the Contract Specifications. The Company executes orders in accordance with its Order Execution Policy, always acting as principal (counterparty) and sole execution venue.

The Company opens one or more accounts for the Client to trade. Client money is held in accounts segregated from the Company’s own money in accordance with current regulations, though this may not afford complete protection.

The Company will not use Client funds for its own account. Deposits and withdrawals are processed in accordance with this Agreement and applicable anti-money-laundering requirements.

Withdrawals are paid to the same source from which funds were deposited where possible. The Client is responsible for providing accurate payment details, and the Company may decline transfers that breach applicable regulations.

Company fees, spreads, swaps, commissions and other charges are set out in the Contract Specifications on the Main Website and may be amended from time to time. The Company may pay or receive fees, commissions or non-monetary benefits to/from third parties such as Introducing Brokers, designed to enhance service quality.

Where a Client is introduced by an Introducing Broker, the Client acknowledges that the Introducing Broker is not an agent of the Company and the Company is not responsible for any agreement between the Client and the Introducing Broker.

The Client is not entitled to receive interest on funds held in the Client account, and waives any such entitlement.

The Company is not liable for failure to perform obligations due to a Force Majeure event (such as natural disasters, war, government action, market suspension or technical failures), and may take measures including closing positions or suspending trading.

The Company maintains a Conflicts of Interest policy and takes reasonable steps to identify and manage conflicts between itself, its associates and its Clients.

Clients are categorized in accordance with applicable regulations. Each category carries a different level of regulatory protection.

The Company is subject to anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing provisions and may request identification and source-of-funds information at any time. The Company may delay or refuse transactions where it suspects a breach of these provisions.

Communication between the Client and the Company may take place by phone, email, the Client portal or post, using the contact details provided by the Client.

The Company processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law. The Client consents to such processing by accepting this Agreement.

Either party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice. Termination does not affect any obligation already incurred by either party in respect of an open position or any legal rights or obligations that have arisen.

On termination, the Company is entitled to combine accounts, close open positions, convert currencies and deduct amounts owed before returning any remaining balance to the Client.

The Client represents and warrants that the information provided is true and complete, that they act on their own behalf, and that they are duly authorised to enter into this Agreement.

The Company is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the Client’s use of, or reliance on, its services, except where such liability cannot be excluded by law or results from the Company’s gross negligence, wilful default or fraud.

The Company may amend this Agreement by posting an updated version on the Main Website. Continued use of the services constitutes acceptance of the changes.

The governing language of this Agreement is English. Any translation is provided for convenience only; in case of inconsistency, the English version prevails.

This Agreement is governed by the laws applicable to the Company and disputes are subject to the relevant place of jurisdiction. Questions may be sent to cs@aimsfx.com.
