2.4. Bonus. Virtual funds credited by the Company to the Client’s Account
when the Client meets the conditions established by the Company. When the Client
makes trades, the funds deposited by the Client are used first, and only after
such funds are completely exhausted, the Client has the right to use the Bonus
for further trading. As a general rule, the Client may not withdraw the Bonus
to a Client's External Account. In the event the Client withdraws previously
deposited funds to the Client's External Account, the Company has the right to
deduct the full sum of the previously accrued Bonuses from the Client’s Account.

to the Client’s account simultaneously with the mentioned Client’s funds), may
be published by the Company on its Website.
In addition to Bonuses, the Company reserves the right to provide Clients
with risk-free trades and use other ways of rewarding and retaining the
Client. In this case, a risk-free trade is defined as a trade, at the close
of which the Client either receives the Income (if the Client fulfills the
payout conditions established in Clause 2.3 of the Agreement) or receives a
refund of the Trade Amount (if the Client does not fulfill the payout
conditions established in the Clause 2.3. of this Agreement). When the

used by the Client.

of the derivative financial instruments formed at the time of Making of a Trade
before the trade is closed at the Fixed Time Trade expiration time. It is only

the Company due to a fault of the Client, including:
a) Damages caused as a result of the Client’s failure to provide (or

regard to their relationship with the Client: those in a kinship relationship
of any degree, family members, partners, or other relations, those residing at
the same address, those using the same devices, those engaged as the Company’s
Clients by the same partner or the Client of the Company, and those engaged in
any collective activity with or without the formation of a legal entity. The
Company reserves the right to expand the list of situations and attributes based
upon which the Client and third parties may be recognized as affiliates.

to illegally use the software provided by the Company and the funds transferred
to the Company’s account.

of the Company’s technical and other equipment and tools). The Company also
has the right to block further transactions in the Trading Terminal and the

Client does not take any measures or actions to remedy the mentioned reasons
within thirty (30) days, the Company reserves the right to deduct all the funds
from the trading account. The Company reserves the right but is not obligated
to recover all the deducted funds back into the Client’s trading account if the
Client satisfies all the requirements needed to lift the block on their trading
account.

parts listed in Cl. 1.2., including the refusal to undergo the necessary checks
