ANNEX 1 RISK DISCLOSURE
General
The following risk disclosure statements cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects involved. The intention is to inform the Client that the risk of loss may be substantial in certain circumstances. In light of the risks, the Client should invest or trade only if it understands the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) it is entering into and the extent of its exposure to risk. The Client should carefully consider whether the FX Transaction or IBAN service is suitable for it in light of its experience, financial position, resources, objectives and other circumstances. The Client should undertake its own research and study before it invests or trades. The Client is advised to seek independent financial and professional advice before it invests or trades. The Client should seek independent professional advice if it is uncertain of or has not understood any aspect of these risk disclosure statements or the nature and risks involved in investment or trading.
- (i) The FX Transactions and IBAN services are “non-transferable” and it may be impossible for the Client to close out or liquidate them.
- (ii) Any recommendation, suggestion or information given by BCXPay to the Client is for the Client’s reference only. Reliance on such recommendation, suggestion or information is at the Client’s own risk. BCXPay makes no representations regarding the performance of the Client’s investment.
- (iii) The Client confirms to BCXPay that it has sufficient knowledge and experience to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of entering into each FX Transaction or IBAN service, that it is acting in reliance solely upon its own judgment or upon professional advice obtained independently of BCXPay as to those merits and risks (including, where relevant, the tax and accounting treatment of each FX Transaction or IBAN service) and is not relying upon BCXPay’s views or advice.
Commission and other charges
Before the Client begins to trade or use IBAN services, it should obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which it will be liable. These charges will affect its net profit (if any) or increase its loss.
