    • Clients should be aware that it can take up to five Business Days for funds to clear with the beneficiary, depending on the destination country and local banking arrangements and that banks have fixed cut off times for the receipt and sending of electronic payments which vary from bank to bank.

    • SATFX will not be obliged to provide any Services to a Client unless the Client has met the requirements of clause 8 of this Agreement:
      • to perform the onward payment until SATFX are in receipt of cleared funds from the Client;
      • accept any money to perform a Trade from any person other than the Client;
      • proceed with any Trade having a value higher than any Trade limit which SATFX may impose from time to time on a Client’s Account.
    • SATFX reserves the right, in settlement of liabilities and deductions, to use and, if required, offset in any sum which SATFX receive from a Client (including any sum forming part of any Margin Payment or Additional Margin SATFX has received from a Client) at any time to settle any outstanding liability which SATFX may incur relating to any Trade.
    • SATFX reserves the right where SATFX are required by the law of any country, territory or state (for example, for tax reasons) to make a deduction from any amount that SATFX receive from a Client for the Trade. The amount that SATFX deduct will be no more than the amount of SATFX’s legal liability. SATFX reserve the right to make a reasonable and proper charge for dealing with the administration requirements of any such competent requesting authority.

    • SATFX will, when making a determination as to whether a situation amounts to a manifest obvious error, act fairly towards the Client but the fact that the Client may have entered into, or refrained from entering into, a corresponding financial commitment, contract or Trade in reliance on a Contract placed with SATFX (or that the Client has suffered or may suffer any loss) will not be taken into account by SATFX in determining whether there has been a manifest error.
  4. FORMING A CONTRACT TO COMPLETE A FOREIGN CURRENCY TRADE
    • The Client or, if applicable, an Authorised Person may telephone or email SATFX during SATFX’s business hours to request a quotation for a Trade. On receipt of the Client’s request to Trade, SATFX may (at its absolute discretion) provide the Client with any relevant non-binding foreign exchange rate quotations and details of any applicable charges. The Client or, if applicable, an Authorised Person may then use such quotation to place an Order with SATFX for the Trade (an “Offline Order”). SATFX may (at its absolute discretion) accept or reject the Client’s Order in whole or part. If SATFX accepts the Client’s Order, the Client cannot (subject to clause 5.3) cancel, rescind or amend it without SATFX’s express written consent and (subject to clause 5.3) a binding contract will be created between SATFX and the Client to buy or sell the relevant foreign currency in the relevant amount at the quoted foreign exchange rate for the relevant Value Date on and subject to the legal terms and conditions of this Agreement (an “Offline Contract”).
    • Using such quotation(s) the Client or, if applicable, an Authorised Person may, during the hours stipulated on the Online Platform, submit an Order for the relevant foreign exchange Trade or electronic payment (a ‘Online Platform Order’). Once the Client’s Order is Accepted by the Online Platform the Client cannot (subject to clause 5.3) cancel, rescind or amend it without SATFX’s express Written consent and (subject to Manifest Error and clause 5.3) a binding contract will be created between SATFX and the Client to buy or sell the relevant foreign currency, in the relevant amount, at the quoted foreign exchange rate and/ or to make an electronic transfer for the relevant Value Date on and subject to the legal terms and conditions of this Agreement (a “Online Contract”).
    • Where SATFX accepts an Order, which is a Limit Order or Stop Loss Order, whilst SATFX shall endeavor to achieve an agreed foreign exchange rate, Limit Orders and Stop Loss Orders may be subject to Slippage and therefore SATFX does not guarantee that SATFX will be able to achieve an agreed foreign exchange rate. The Client also acknowledges that SATFX must add a Spread on the foreign exchange rate SATFX can obtain from SATFX’s Counterparty to achieve the foreign exchange rate SATFX has agreed with the Client. The Client may cancel or amend a Limit Order or Stop Loss Order at any time up until the time at which the earlier of the following occurs:
      • SATFX informs the Client that the agreed foreign exchange rate is achieved; or
      • SATFX incurs a liability (including, without limit, to SATFX’s Counterparty) on the Client’s behalf in relation to such Order; this is known as “Good Til Cancelled”, after which time a Contract will exist unless agreed otherwise.
    • Where SATFX agrees to notify the Client when a foreign exchange rate becomes available but where the Client does not place a Limit or Stop Loss Order, SATFX will endeavor but does not guarantee to do so.
    • The Client must instruct SATFX to place a Market Order via email to which SATFX will reply with Acceptance. If the Client doesn’t receive Acceptance of the Market Order in writing, then no Market Order has been placed for the Client.
    • SATFX will send a Trade Confirmation via email to the email address provided by the Client at Onboarding notifying the Client of all the Trade details and the Nominated Account Details for the Client to send their sold funds. If the Client does not receive the Trade Confirmation this does not invalidate the Client’s Contract and the Client should contact SATFX to request the Trade Confirmation is resent to an alternative email address.
    • The Client must provide to SATFX all Onward Payment details before the Value Date in writing before the Value Date of the Trade. SATFX cannot accept Onward Payment details verbally.

    • Where the Client or, if applicable, an Authorised Person telephones SATFX to ask SATFX to make an Online Platform Contract on the Client’s behalf, clause 5.1 will replace clause 5.3 as the relevant clause in relation to the formation of the Contract. The Contract will otherwise be regarded as an Online Platform Contract.
    • SATFX will act as principal in relation to any Contracts and/or Trades and SATFX will not act as the Client’s agent or otherwise act on the Client’s behalf in relation to any Contracts and/or Trades unless SATFX informs the Client that SATFX is dealing with the Client as agent generally or with respect to any Contracts or Trades. Rather, SATFX provides the Client with price quotes and the Client may place Orders based on those price quotes. Accordingly, while SATFX seeks to ensure that SATFX’s quotes are price competitive SATFX does not owe the Client any obligation of best execution and does not agree to obtain the best possible price for the Client. In this regard, SATFX is not obliged to comply with the FCA Rules on best execution. The Client will enter into Contracts as principal unless otherwise agreed in writing by SATFX.
    • If at any point the purpose of the Client’s Trades is not to facilitate payment for identifiable goods, services or direct investment, the Client will immediately notify SATFX by telephone or email.

Additionally, information may be passed to governmental, regulatory, or judicial organisations to prevent fraud or financial crime where we consider it appropriate. The foregoing use of Personal Data may render us a Data Controller.

During an Account Refresh SATFX may request information from the Client that includes a current proof of address, updated source of funds evidence and another CDD or KYC documentation the SATFX deems, at SATFX’s absolute discretion, to be necessary.
    • The Client may be prevented from completing a Trade and or an Onward Payment even if SATFX is in receipt of a Client’s funds until the Account Refresh has been completed. If a Trade has been completed via the Online Platform, SATFX reserves the right to delay or cancel the Onward Payment until the Account Refresh has been completed.

Information may also be passed to other organisations or persons to prevent fraud. Additionally, information may be passed to governmental, regulatory or judicial organisations to prevent fraud or financial crime where we consider it appropriate.  The foregoing use of Personal Data may render us a Data Controller.
