If transaction is conducted via telephone Justrader staff reserves the right not to execute order if staff is not satisfied in the determination of the identity of the client. In such circumstances client may be asked additional information in order to determine the authenticity of the trade request. Please note that the telephone conversation may be taped.

No draft will be issued to a name other than the name of the account holder. This policy is in compliance with International anti money laundering laws. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
F) PLATFORM ISSUES
Justrader provides clients with three electronic vehicles from which to trade from. The flagship downloadable platform is the award winning MT4 Trading platform. This program is considered the premium platform by many market participants. It is the responsibility of the end user to fully understand its attributes. Justrader will not be responsible for any erroneous trades. Please note that until further notice the standard one lot size is 100,000. Consequently, a position of .01 lots represents 1000 units of the underlying.
Justrader also provides an internet based solution via the Justrader webtrader. This platform is found to be optimal by many clients who work behind a firewall and consequently have difficulty (if not out right impossible) in downloading a desk top, although there are no material differences in operation between the two platforms, it is the responsibility of the client to ensure that he has mastered the functionality of the program.
The third platform is a web based solution for hand held devices. As is the case with all platforms it is the client’s responsibility to understand its functionality.
Although Justrader makes every reasonable effort to assure no disruption to the service, if and when there is any disruption Justrader will not be held liable. As a backup it is recommended that clients close positions via telephone if and when system is not operating. Access to the trading platform is the sole responsibility of the account holder. If account holder believes his password has been compromised it is his responsibility to change password or inform Justrader to change password for him.
Justrader expects clients to diligently operate the software given to them. In effect, clients are to act as prudent administrators of the provided software. Any attempt to resale in whole or in part any of the services provided by Justrader will precipitate legal action.
G) TEMPORARY AND/OR PERMANENT WITHDRAWAL OF SERVICE
At Justrader’s discretion, we may without notice cancel your software.

H) CLIENT FUNDS
Client funds are co-mingled with other client funds and our own working capital. Client funds do not earn interest. Procedures to facilitate a withdrawal will commence within 24 hours of receiving the request in good form. If request cannot be made because funds are currently used to finance open positions, the client will be notified, and the client will have to make adjustments to his position in order to facilitate his withdrawal.
In the event that the account is dormant with a balance, after a period of six months of inactivity, attempts will be made to contact client via email and/or phone, to return his funds. If contact fails then ownership of these funds is transferred to Justrader.
I) LEVERAGE AND MARGIN
Justrader is operating under the assumption that client understands the negative implications that may arise due to the use of financial leverage. Please review our Risk Disclosure Statement. Leverage in any multiple can trigger a margin call. A margin call arises when there is insufficient equity to carry the open position(s). The Justrader platform provides the client with a live continuously updated number pertaining to the available margin. This statistic has to be understood by the client, our staff is able to explain all related questions. When a margin call is triggered the client must decide if he is to honour it, or close out his positions. If the client agrees to maintain his position and honour the margin call, he must immediately forward funds. Failing to fund his margin call may and probably trigger a forced liquidation. In such an event Justrader staff closes out the open positions. These positions may be closed out at a point in time where the client incurs a debit in his account. Irrespective of the fact that the position was closed out by Justrader, any negative balances (debit) are still the responsibility of the account holder. Margin has to be provided in acceptable form, which implies that it be in the form of an inflow through a credit card or bank wire, in either US dollars or Euros.
J) CLIENT ATTRIBUTES
With respect to the attributes declared by the client and documentation provided, Justrader while making a reasonable effort to verify all documents presented, operates under the presumption that all forwarded documents are lawful, and the client is fully aware of the criminal nature of providing false documentation. Thus if a natural person is the client Justarder further assumes that the individual is of majority age, sound mind and a financially responsible. If client is a corporation Justarder presumes that it has been duly organized and constituted, and that the corporation is permitted to trade in financial instruments, and has the ability to sustain financial losses.
Irrespective, if the client is a natural person or a corporation, Justrader expects the client to behave in a compliant manner. Primarily being a prudent administrator of the software provided, adhering to any margin calls, and refraining from any behaviour that may disrupt a market or behaviour that is deemed to be predatory in nature.
