The password can be changed at any time by the customer by accessing the Client Profile through the Agility Forex platform. Should the customer forget his password a new temporary password will be issued once the Company has verified the customer’s identity. It is your responsibility to ensure the security of your username and password. We will rely on any Instructions received pursuant to the use of the username and password without checking the identity of the user and you will at all times be bound by those Instructions. You can provide us with instructions either online, by email or by telephone. 

Authority – If you appoint somebody else to act on your behalf (“Agent”) in accordance with section 1.2, we will act in accordance with all Instructions received from your Agent, and you will be bound by those Instructions, until you withdraw your authority for that Agent. 

Right not to accept Orders – We may, but shall not be obliged to, accept instructions to enter into a Transaction. If we decline to process your instructions we shall not be obliged to give a reason. 

We may suspend any service provided to you as part of the Agility Forex service without notice where we consider it necessary to do so. We take our exchange rates from various market sources that we believe to be accurate however if one of those sources produces an ‘off market’ rate then we reserve the right to correct the rate. An off market rate is considered to be an exchange rate that is outside the day’s trading range. 

Cancellation of Instructions – We can only cancel your instructions if we have not acted upon them. Once a Transaction has become legally binding, you may not cancel the Transaction in any circumstances. If the customer made an error in inputting instructions then Agility Forex will make reasonable efforts to correct the Transaction but the customer understands and accepts that Agility Forex is not obliged to make corrections and if corrections are made the Customer is liable for any costs incurred. 

Customers can enter into a transaction by giving Instructions via the platform, by telephone or by email. The Transaction will be legally binding when we receive your Instructions. If transacting via the platform, the transaction is legally binding as soon as we receive your electronic instructions. We will provide you with confirmation of the Transaction details on the screen at the time of transaction and also send details by email. If you book a transaction by telephone the Transaction is legally binding at the conclusion of the telephone call. A Transaction Confirmation will be sent by email. If you book a Transaction by email, the Transaction will be legally binding when we process the email. This method may not be immediate but will be processed as soon as the email is picked up. A Transaction Confirmation will be sent by email. 

Transaction Confirmation 

The terms of each Trade will be set out in the Transaction Confirmation presented to the Customer on the Transaction Confirmation Screen, which follows the Customer acceptance of the Transaction. The Transaction confirmation is evidence of the completed Transaction and the terms of the completed Transaction. 

The Transaction will not be invalidated if, for any reason, the Transaction Confirmation is not presented to the Customer by Agility Forex on the Transaction Confirmation Screen as a result of a computer malfunction or any other reason. If, for any reason, the Transaction confirmation is not presented to the Customer, the records of Agility Forex with respect to that Transaction will constitute conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction. If a Transaction confirmation is not presented to the Customer for any reason, the Customer should notify Agility Forex immediately by calling the Customer Support Number, and Agility Forex may provide the Customer with a confirmation by email or other means setting out the terms of the Transaction. 

Forward Transactions 

A forward transaction is an agreement to exchange currencies at a maturity date beyond the spot settlement date. Agility Forex offers forward transactions out to one year maturity. Forward transactions are currently only offered by telephone dealing. Upon the completion of the telephone call any transaction agreed on the call becomes legally binding and a Transaction Confirmation will be sent by email to the customer. Any errors in the Confirmation should be reported immediately to the Company. Should we not hear from the customer within 24 hours the confirmation will be deemed to be correct. In the event of any dispute the recording of the telephone conversation will be used as evidence. 

Payment Reserve 

To secure the forward transaction and protect the Company against adverse market movements and customer counterparty risk Agility Forex reserves the right to ask the Customer for an advance payment (Payment Reserve). This will generally be in the region of 8-10% of the full value of the forward contract. It is possible that we may request additional Payment Reserves at any time prior to Maturity Date. You acknowledge that the amount of the Payment Reserve is determined at our discretion. 

Failure to pay a Payment Reserve when requested may result in the Forward Transaction being closed out as per Section 8. 

Maturity Date 

It may be possible at our discretion to adjust the Maturity Date, either to extend it or bring it forward. If we agree to this you acknowledge that the Rate may need to be adjusted to account for the new Maturity Date. 

Payment for Transaction 

Once a Trade has been finalized and entered into following the Customer’s acceptance, the Customer must make each payment or delivery required to be made by it under the terms of the Trade in the Currency, in the amount, on the date and in accordance with the settlement instructions for the Trade, as set out in the related Trade confirmation. All payments must be received by us in cleared funds and for the full amount being transferred, including any fees that may be payable, before we credit your Recipient account. 

Spot Transactions 

Payment into our account of the full amount required to settle the Spot Transaction must be initiated on the day the Transaction becomes legally binding. If we have not received the funds within 2 business days we reserve the right to Close Out the Transaction in accordance with Section 9 with the Customer liable for any losses the Company might take. 

Forward Transactions 

The Payment Reserve must be initiated on the day the Transaction becomes legally binding. The balance of the Forward Contract must be paid to us in full on or before the Maturity Date. The balance is determined as the full amount of the forward transaction less any Payment Reserves already paid. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in the transaction being Closed Out as per Section 8. 

Electronic Funds Only 

You agree to make all payments into our account electronically and you acknowledge that we will transmit your funds by electronic means only. We do not accept cash or cheques.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Agility Forex does not accept or bear any liability or responsibility for any loss, including Consequential Loss, incurred or sustained by the Customer as a result of or arising from Agility Forex paying a third party account. 

Funds Held by US 

We do not hold your funds in trust. Funds are held in a client account separate from the working capital account of the Company. 

Interest

In particular, you acknowledge that we operate an online dealing platform that could be subject to technical, or other, problems, the nature and duration of which may be beyond our control. Our service also involves the use of intermediaries who are outside our control.

(iii) loss of any other opportunity, or

In some circumstances, Agility Forex may not be able to onboard a customer and/or transfer funds to certain jurisdictions based upon Sanctions, Regulations or licensing laws in the jurisdiction.

The Customer understands that law enforcement and regulatory agencies may periodically inspect all Trades executed with Agility Forex either by the consent of Agility Forex or pursuant to applicable law.

You agree to provide, when requested, additional information and assistance and comply with all reasonable requests to facilitate our compliance with AML/TF Laws in Canada or an equivalent overseas jurisdiction.

You acknowledge that operating an account on behalf of an undisclosed Third Party is a violation of these Terms and Conditions. You further understand that transfers to an unrelated Third Party may result in a Third Party determination requirementand, requests for additional supporting documentation to identify the purpose of the transaction and relationship to you. 

You undertake that you are not aware and have no reason to suspect that: 

(i) the money you are transferring is derived from or related to money laundering, terrorism financing or similar activities (Illegal Activities); and 

(ii) the money you are transferring will be used to finance, or is connected with, Illegal Activities. 

In certain circumstances, we may be obliged to freeze or block an account where it is used in connection with Illegal Activities or suspected Illegal Activities. Freezing or blocking can arise as a result of the account monitoring that is required by AML/TF Laws. If this occurs, we are not liable to you for any consequences or losses whatsoever and you agree to indemnify us if we are found liable to a third party in connection with the freezing or blocking of your account. 

We retain the right, at any time, to refuse, in our sole discretion, to provide services.

We may suspend any service provided to you as part of the Agility Forex service without notice where we consider it necessary to do so. We take our exchange rates from various market sources that we believe to be accurate however if one of those sources produces an ‘off market’ rate then we reserve the right to correct the rate. An off market rate is considered to be an exchange rate that is outside the day’s trading range. 

Cancellation of Instructions – We can only cancel your instructions if we have not acted upon them. Once a Transaction has become legally binding, you may not cancel the Transaction in any circumstances. If the customer made an error in inputting instructions then Agility Forex will make reasonable efforts to correct the Transaction but the customer understands and accepts that Agility Forex is not obliged to make corrections and if corrections are made the Customer is liable for any costs incurred. 

Customers can enter into a transaction by giving Instructions via the platform, by telephone or by email. The Transaction will be legally binding when we receive your Instructions. If transacting via the platform, the transaction is legally binding as soon as we receive your electronic instructions. We will provide you with confirmation of the Transaction details on the screen at the time of transaction and also send details by email. If you book a transaction by telephone the Transaction is legally binding at the conclusion of the telephone call. A Transaction Confirmation will be sent by email. If you book a Transaction by email, the Transaction will be legally binding when we process the email. This method may not be immediate but will be processed as soon as the email is picked up. A Transaction Confirmation will be sent by email. 

Transaction Confirmation 

The terms of each Trade will be set out in the Transaction Confirmation presented to the Customer on the Transaction Confirmation Screen, which follows the Customer acceptance of the Transaction. The Transaction confirmation is evidence of the completed Transaction and the terms of the completed Transaction. 

The Transaction will not be invalidated if, for any reason, the Transaction Confirmation is not presented to the Customer by Agility Forex on the Transaction Confirmation Screen as a result of a computer malfunction or any other reason. If, for any reason, the Transaction confirmation is not presented to the Customer, the records of Agility Forex with respect to that Transaction will constitute conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction. If a Transaction confirmation is not presented to the Customer for any reason, the Customer should notify Agility Forex immediately by calling the Customer Support Number, and Agility Forex may provide the Customer with a confirmation by email or other means setting out the terms of the Transaction. 

Forward Transactions 

A forward transaction is an agreement to exchange currencies at a maturity date beyond the spot settlement date. Agility Forex offers forward transactions out to 1 one year maturity. Forward transactions are currently only offered by telephone dealing. Upon the completion of the telephone call any transaction agreed on the call becomes legally binding and a Transaction Confirmation will be sent by email to the customer. Any errors in the Confirmation should be reported immediately to the Company. Should we not hear from the customer within 24 hours the confirmation will be deemed to be correct. In the event of any dispute the recording of the telephone conversation will be used as evidence. 

Payment Reserve 

To secure the forward transaction and protect the Company against adverse market movements and customer counterparty risk Agility Forex reserves the right to ask the Customer for an advance payment (Payment Reserve). This will generally be in the region of 8-10% of the full value of the forward contract. It is possible that we may request additional Payment Reserves at any time prior to Maturity Date. You acknowledge that the amount of the Payment Reserve is determined at our discretion. 

Failure to pay a Payment Reserve when requested may result in the Forward Transaction being closed out as per Section 8. 

Maturity Date 

It may be possible at our discretion to adjust the Maturity Date, either to extend it or bring it forward. If we agree to this you acknowledge that the Rate may need to be adjusted to account for the new Maturity Date.

All payments must be received by us in cleared funds and for the full amount being transferred, including any fees that may be payable, before we credit your Recipient account. 

Spot Transactions 

Payment into our account of the full amount required to settle the Spot Transaction must be initiated on the day the Transaction becomes legally binding. If we have not received the funds within 2 business days we reserve the right to Close Out the Transaction in accordance with Section 9 with the Customer liable for any losses the Company might take. 

Forward Transactions
