16. RISKS ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Customer acknowledges that in leveraged transactions are speculative, involve a high degree of risk, and
is appropriate only for persons who can assume risk of loss of their margin deposit. The Customer understands
that because of the low margin normally required in trading FX contracts, price changes in FX contracts may
result in the loss of the Customer's margin deposit. The Customer warrants that the Customer is willing and
able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risk of FX contracts trading, and in consideration of FXOpen
carrying his/her account(s), the Customer agrees not to hold FXOpen responsible for losses incurred through
following any information received from FXOpen or those of its employees, agents or representatives. The
Customer recognizes that guarantees of profit or freedom from loss are impossible performances in foreign
exchange contracts trading. The Customer acknowledges that the Customer has received no such guarantees
from FXOpen or from any of its representatives or any introducing agent or other entity with whom the
Customer is conducting his/her FXOpen account and has not entered into this agreement in consideration of
or in reliance upon any such guarantees or similar representations.
If the Customer directs FXOpen to enter into any FX contracts: (a) any profit or loss arising as a result of a
fluctuation in the exchange rate affecting such currency will be entirely for the Customer's account and risk;
(b) all initial and subsequent deposits for margin purposes shall be made in USD, or any other currency which
FXOpen may choose to accept, in such amounts as FXOpen may in its sole discretion require, with subsequent
deposits being in the same currency as the initial deposit; and (c) FXOpen is authorized to convert funds in
Customer's account for margin into and from such foreign currency at a rate of exchange determined by
FXOpen in its sole discretion on the basis of the then prevailing money market rates.
Foreign exchange trading can involve a high degree of volatility which may result in substantial movements in
the level of the Customer’s multi-currency exposure, possibly leading to significant losses. The risk that the
value of Customer’s open positions may change even though trading for the relevant financial instrument is
not available and the Customer is not able to open or close a position until trading reopens. This may result in
suffering a financial loss or a lost opportunity to trade.
Execution risk (delays in execution): the risk that an execution the Customer places is delayed or not executed
due to a delay in transmission of data between Customer’s trading platform and FXOpen's servers (see System
Risk). This may result in the available price the Customer had placed an order at no longer being available.
As the Customer will generally be accessing the trading platform over a third party Internet service provider
there is a risk that this may be caused by the Customer’s computer not maintaining a constant connection with
the FXOpen servers.
Systems risk: the operational systems risk inherent in online trading systems apply to every trade placed. This
includes disruptions to communications, IT systems, software or hardware errors or other events that delay,
interrupt or otherwise effect our systems operation. In the event such a disruption to the system does occur,
the Customer may suffer a financial loss or loss of opportunity. In accordance with this Agreement and relevant
Terms of Business, FXOpen makes no warranties and is not liable in relation to the operation of the trading
platform or any other related service offered by FXOpen except to the case when disruption is caused by the
fraud or dishonesty on the part of FXOpen or its employees, agents or representatives.
The Customer is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of multi-currency exposure which may exposure
the Customer to increased risks of losses and may lead to significant losses. The Customer agrees to not hold
FXOpen liable for any losses incurred as a consequence of FXOpen maintaining such multi-currency exposure
in the Customer’s account.
