LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT SHALL IMMFX, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OUR WEBSITE, OUR SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT (HOWEVER ARISING, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

THE LIABILITY OF IMMFX, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES, TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES IN ANY PROVEN CIRCUMSTANCE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU TRANSFERRED OR DEPOSITED IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT IMMFX IN RELATION TO THE TRANSACTION GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.

RISK STATEMENT

You agree to use the Web site at your own risk. Without limiting the foregoing, the financial services contained within this site are suitable only for client(s) who are able to bear the loss of all the money they invest, and who understand the risks and have experience in taking risks involved in the acquisition of financial contracts.

International currency prices are highly volatile and are very difficult to predict. Due to such volatility, in addition to the spread that IMMFX adds to all calculations and quotes (as described below in further detail), no financial contract purchased or other Service offered in our Website (whether or not the payout exceeds the premium amount) may be considered as a safe trade.

The maximum loss that may be incurred by any client is the amount of money paid by them to the Company including rolling fees for day trade deals.

Subject to market conditions, Stop Loss Orders shall be executed either at the exact exchange rate selected by the client, where amount will be calculated automatically, or at the exact amount of loss selected by the client, where the exchange rate will be calculated accordingly. A transaction of that nature shall be executed as soon as the distinctive (“indicative”) exchange rate is found on the financial information systems, which including the Company’s spread, is either identical to the order given by the client, or indicates an identical amount of loss declared by the client.

The calculation of the price to be paid (or the payout to be received) for financial contracts on this site, at the time the financial contract is purchased on sold, will be based on the Company’s best estimate of market prices and the expected level of interest rates, implied volatilities and other market conditions during the life of the financial contract, and is based on a complex arithmetic calculation.

The calculation will include a spread in favor of the Company. The financial contract prices (or the payout amounts) offered to clients speculating on market or index prices, may differ substantially from prices available in the primary markets where such contracts are traded, due to the spread favoring the Company in the price calculation system referred to above.

IMMFX does not provide a market amongst or between clients for investments or speculations. Each financial contract purchased by a client via this site is an individual Agreement made between that client and the Company, and is not transferable, negotiable or assignable to or with any third party.

ACCESS TO THE SITE

You shall be responsible for providing and maintaining the means by which to access the Website, which may include, but is not limited to, a personal computer, modem and telephone or other access line.

You shall be responsible for all access and service fees necessary to connect to the Website and assume all charges incurred in accessing such systems. You further assume all risks associated with the use and storage of information on your personal computer or on any other computer through which you will gain access to the Website and the services (hereinafter referred to as “computer” or “your computer”).

You represent and warrant that you have implemented and plan to operate and maintain appropriate protection in relation to the security and control of access to your computer, computer viruses or other similar harmful or inappropriate materials, devices, information or data.

You agree that IMMFX will not be liable in any way to you in the event of failure of or damage or destruction to your computer systems, data or records or any part thereof, or for delays, losses, errors or omissions resulting from the failure or mismanagement of any telecommunications or computer equipment or software.

You will not transmit to or in any way, whether directly or indirectly, expose IMMFX or any of IMMFX’s online service providers to any computer virus or other similarly harmful or inappropriate material or device.

Acquisition of a financial contract is completed when the financial contract has been customized, the premium (or the margin, as the case may be) has been calculated and payment has been verified.

You agree to be fully and personally liable for the due settlement of every transaction entered into under your account with the Company. You are responsible for ensuring that you alone control access to your account, and that no minor or other person is granted access to trading on the Web site using your account. In any case, you alone remain fully liable for any and all positions traded on your account, and for any credit card transactions entered into the Site for your account. You agree to indemnify IMMFX fully in respect to all costs and losses whatsoever as may be incurred by IMMFX as a result of, direct or indirect, to perform or settle such a transaction.

You agree that in the case that any financial contract is acquired or sold at prices that do not reflect its market prices, or that is acquired or sold at an abnormally low level of risk (the “mis- pricing”) due to an undetected programming error, bug, defect, error or glitch in our Website software or any other reason resulting in mis-pricing (for the purpose of this section the “error”), IMMFX reserves the right to cancel such transactions upon notifying you of the nature of the computer error that led to the mis-pricing. You have a duty to report to IMMFX any problem, error or suspected system or other inadequacies that you may experience.

COPYRIGHTS AND TRADEMARKS

All content, trademarks, services marks, trade names, logos and icons are the property of IMMFX or its affiliates or agents and are protected by copyright laws and international treaties and provisions.

You agree not to delete any copyright notices or other indications of protected intellectual property rights from materials that you print or download from the Web site. You will not obtain any intellectual property rights in, or any right or authorization to use such materials or the Website, other than as set out in this Agreement.

Images displayed on the Web site are either the property of IMMFX or used with permission. You agree not to upload, post, reproduce or distribute any information, software or other material protected by copyright or any other intellectual property right (as well as rights of publicity and privacy) without first obtaining the permission of the owner of such rights and the prior written consent of IMMFX.

Nothing contained on the Web site shall be construed as granting, by implication, estoppels, or otherwise, any authorization or right to use any trademark without the written permission of IMMFX and/or such third party that may own the trademarks. Your use of the trademarks, or any other content of the Web site, except as provided herein, is strictly prohibited.

HYPERLINKS

IMMFX may provide a link to other sites that are controlled or offered by third parties. Such link to a site or sites is not an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship or affiliation with respect to such site, its owners or its providers.

IMMFX cautions you to ensure that you understand the risks involved in using such sites before retrieving, using, relying upon or purchasing anything via the Internet.

Links to these Websites are provided solely for your convenience, and you agree that under no circumstances will you hold IMMFX liable for any loss or damage caused by use of or reliance on any content, goods or services available on other sites.

DISCLOSURES

It is important that you be fully aware of the following points: A Day-Trading position may be extended to the following day, as presented to you on the site. Such extension is subject to a Renewal Fee (Rolling Fee) at the rate and time as specified on the site. IMMFX via the IMMFX Trading platform shall collect such Renewal Fee from the free balance in your account held with IMMFX.

In the event there are not sufficient funds in your free balance to cover such fee(s), you hereby agree that IMMFX reserves the right to close part, or all, of your open positions. You shall be liable for promptly paying all Renewal Fees fee(s), even if all margins previously deposited by you have been lost. The high level of leverage effect possible in conducting foreign currency transactions stems from the fact that it is only necessary to pay relatively modest margins or guarantees in relation to the scope of the contract.

The result of the above is that even a slight fluctuation of the market could mean substantial gains when these fluctuations are in your favor, but that could also mean considerable losses if the fluctuations are to your detriment. No system exists that could assure you that transactions on the foreign currency market should bring you great benefits, nor is it possible to guarantee that your transactions will yield favorable results. Even though the currency markets are fluid (liquid) as compared with other financial and exchange markets, the market conditions might at times render the execution of an order or of a limit order at a stipulated price impossible. The amount you could lose in a transaction carrying limited risk never be more appreciable than that which you can lose in transactions having no predetermined limit on loss.

Nevertheless, even though the extent of the losses could be subjected to an agreed upon limit, the risk of incurring losses could be higher, and that loss could occur in a relatively short period of time. It is possible that some unfavorable situations on the market could occur, in a relatively short period of time, resulting in the TOTAL LOSS of your investment.

Since deposit of an additional guarantee is not obligatory in this case, IMMFX reserves the right to close the outstanding balances without the client’s consent.

The risk information presented here does not reflect all of the risks as well as other important aspects intrinsic to the FOREX or CFDs market. Therefore, before starting to trade, you should learn the specifics of trading on FOREX and CFDs markets in detail. You should conclude an Agreement for opening and/or closing transactions on the FOREX and CFDs markets only if you are absolutely sure of the size of its possible risks and consequences, and if you understand in detail the scope and range of your rights and obligations.

Products offered on this site: the products offered on this site are solely “Day Trading” and “Limit orders”. For additional information regarding these products please refer to our FAQ and Trading Conditions.

Phone call recording: IMMFX records, at its sole and absolute discretion, telephone calls made from and to its offices.

You hereby agree that telephone calls made, either by you contacting IMMFX, or when being contacted by IMMFX, may be recorded by the Company.

ONLINE DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS

Withdrawal orders: The provision of documentation or any other type of Client authentication as may be required from time to time by Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations, Credit Card companies and IMMFX, is a prerequisite, prior to the execution of a withdrawal order.

Credit card deposits may be, according to credit card companies’ regulations, returned to the same credit card when a withdrawal is performed. A withdrawal to a bank account where initial deposits have been performed by credit cards will be executed back to credit card or to bank account at company’s discretion. Withdrawals to bank account may take a longer time period, due to additional security procedures and documentation from the Client.

Credit Card Deposits Variance: When choosing an account base currency other than USD, your credit card may be debited sums which due to exchange rates and credit card companies’ fees, may slightly vary from the initial sum that has been deposited by you in the account base currency. You hereby accept that such variations may occur and you hereby affirm that you shall not seek to object or charge this back. Note that when using USD as an account base currency, this phenomena will be avoided.

Wire Transfers: When depositing by a Bank Transfer, as required by anti money-laundering regulations, you are required to use only one bank account, which is in your country of residence and in your name.

An authentic SWIFT confirmation or Transfer Confirmation, showing the origin of the funds, must be sent to IMMFX. Failure to submit such SWIFT/Confirmation may result in the return of the deposited amount, hence preventing the deposit of such pending amounts to your IMMFX account. Any withdrawal of funds, from your IMMFX account to a bank account, can only be refunded to the same bank account that the funds were originally received from.

Alternative payment methods (money transfer services; internet payment vendors; etc.): when depositing funds using a facility other than Credit Cards and/or Banks, you agree to, and acknowledge being bound by, the regulations and rules of such service, including, but not limited to, fees and other restrictions. IMMFX, at its sole and absolute discretion, may execute withdrawals to a facility other than the facility used for the original deposit, in accordance with Company and Anti money-laundering regulations.

TERMINATION

IMMFX may exercise full discretion in modifying or discontinuing any part or whole of this Web Site Terms and Conditions Agreement at any time without cause or prior notice.
