4. Notification of risks.

The purpose of this notification is to provide the Client with information about the risks related to conversion arbitrage transactions in financial market and warn of probable losses. This notification does not disclose all of the risks in the financial markets because of the variety of situations that may arise. The risk of performing arbitrage transactions means the possibility of an event bringing significant losses for the Client.

4.1 The Client should understand clearly that trading in the financial markets involves a high degree of risk. The Client must carefully assess his abilities and financial opportunities with regard to arbitrage deals in this market.

The risks in the financial market are classified in the following way:

4.2 Leverage effect. The collateral margin is smaller than the required minimum amount for a transaction, so transactions are performed with leverage. A relatively insignificant market movement produces a proportionally larger impact on the Client's assets deposited to perform operation. If the market moves against the open position of the Client, the Client may suffer losses equal to the initially deposited collateral margin and any additional assets deposited to maintain the open position. The Client takes total responsibility for selection of an appropriate trading strategy, estimation of all risks and use of financial resources.

4.3 Market risk. Because of sharp and substantial changes in currency rates the Client's orders may be executed at the rates which differ significantly from stated in the orders. For example in the case when the price breaks out of the trading range and leaves on the chart an empty space with no trading activity ( such situation is called gap). The order will be executed at the price first appeared after gap. Likewise placing orders for reducing losses/profits may be inefficient as market conditions may make it impossible to execute these orders.

4.4 Technical risk. Carrying out transactions via an electronic trading system the Client runs the risk related with possible faults in the system, including equipment and software failures. In case of transactions via telephone it can be difficult to get though to operator at the moments of peak loads. The Client is fully responsible for the risks of financial losses caused by the mentioned failures.

4.5 Legal, social and political risks. The risk of radical change in the political or economic course of the country, especially when the new President takes the post, in case of changes in the Parliament or Government, the risk of social unrest, including strikes is totally upon the Client.

4.6 Force majeure. The Company cannot be responsible for the losses which are directly or indirectly caused by the restrictions imposed by the Government, related to foreign exchange and market regulations, interruption of trading, military actions or other events which are usually called "force majeure".

Taking into consideration all the risks associated with operations in the financial market, the Company recommends the Client to consider carefully whether these risks are acceptable for the Client with regard to his targets and financial opportunities.

The purpose of this notification is not to make the Client turn away from dealing with conversion arbitrage transactions in financial markets, but it is designed to help the Client to assess the risks related to such activity and with full responsibility step into determining the trading strategy for carrying out arbitrage transactions.

5. Anti-money laundering policy.

Money laundering is the act of converting money or other material values gained from illegal activity (terrorism, drug dealing, illegal arms trade, corruption, human traffic and etc.) into money or investments that appear to be legitimate. Such activity is used because of the illegal source of money and other material values cannot be traced.

In order to confront the penetration of criminal money into state economy and to prevent expansion of terrorist activity, countries carry on a struggle against money laundering and terrorism financing. Financial organizations are one of the easiest of access and convenient instruments that allow to legalize revenue from illegal activity. The increased integration of financial markets and liberty of capital mobility between them make market penetration of criminal capital easier.
Thereat the Company applies by-law and programs of its implementation to help international organizations to struggle against money laundering and financing of terrorist activity all over the world.

6. Identification of the Client.

For the purpose of complying with anti-money laundering recommendations when the Client withdraws from the account significant sum of money for the first time, the Company requires two different documents to verify the identity of the Client. The Company has a right to request other necessary documents.

6.1 The first document is a legal government-issued, identifying document with the picture of the Client on it. It may be a government-issued passport, driver's license (for countries where the driver's license is a primary identification document) or local ID card (no company access cards).
