a) For buying of one currency against the sale of another currency and the currency bought has a higher interest rate than the currency sold, the amount of interest arising therefrom shall be added to the Client’s Account;

6.8 Margin Deposit

6.8.1 Before executing a Contract, HML may in its absolute discretion require a deposit of between 0.01% and 100% of the Contract’s value in respect of any anticipated or existing Open Positions which the Client has or will have with HML; (“the Margin Deposit”).

6.8.2 Payment must be made pursuant to clause 6.3 of this Agreement.

6.9 Forced Liquidation

6.9.1 The Client is required to maintain sufficient level of Margin Deposit (as recorded in the Client Account or as otherwise notified by HML). HML reserves its full rights to close out all Open Positions:

6.12 Rates

6.12.1 Rate indications from HML are available by telephone, face to face, or via the Online Platform (the “Indication”). The Indication is not binding, and the Client agrees to accept the prices offered by HML when the Contract is executed

6.13 Quoting Error

6.13.1 HML will take reasonable steps to prevent quoting errors from occurring. Should a quoting error occur due to a typographical error or obvious mistake in a quote or indication (the “Quoting Error”), HML is not liable for any damages, claims, losses, liabilities or costs arising from the Quoting Error. HML reserves the right to make the necessary adjustments to correct the Quoting Error.

6.15.2 The Client acknowledges and agrees, and will ensure that each Authorized User acknowledges and agrees, that HML may make a recording of any telephone conversation between any person and HML at any time. The recording remains the property of HML. The telephone recording can be used by HML to confirm the terms and conditions of any transaction where there is dispute with a Client as to the Trade Contract Terms of the transaction, and for training and monitoring purposes.

7. Online Transaction Platform

7.1 If the Client uses HML’s online transaction systems (the “Online Platforms”), the Client confirms and accepts the following:
a) The Client will be able to enter into Contracts at the rates and/or prices quoted on the Online Platform.
b) All transactions must be completed using the logins and passwords allocated to the Client by HML and valid entry of such a login and password will constitute an authorization by the Client to complete the Contract specified irrespective of whether the login and password are entered by an Authorized User.
c) The Client must ensure that the logins and passwords are kept secure and confidential. The Client must also ensure that each Authorized User to whom a login and password is provided, will keep them secure and confidential. The Client will advise HML immediately if the Client has any reason to believe that the login and passwords allocated to the Client have not been kept secure and confidential.
d) The Client must ensure that no unauthorized person is able to use the logins and passwords. As part of this obligation the Client must ensure that each Authorized User quits the Internet browser after using the Online Platform.
e) HML may at any time without Notice to the Client suspend, withdraw or deny access to the Online Platform for any reason including but not limited to security, quality of service, failure by the Client to pay an amount when due or breach by the Client of any provision of this Agreement.

8. Deduction of Intermediary/Receiving Bank Fees

8.1 In some circumstances a number of intermediaries may be involved in payment transaction and may deduct a charge. The receiving bank may also take a charge. These charges cannot always be calculated in advance, and the Client will be liable for these expenses.

8.2 HML will not be liable for losses that result from fees under clause 8.1 being levied. HML will use its best endeavors to ensure that all fees associated with a transaction are disclosed in the Trade Contract Terms. However, due to the complexity of the international foreign exchange markets this may not always be possible. If it is important that an exact amount of a particular currency arrives, please advise HML accordingly and HML may be able to pre-cover any undefined charges. The Client should ensure that they clearly discuss third party fees and charges when providing a HML representative with Instructions for a transaction.

9. Circumstances Beyond Our Control

9.1 If HML is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or a Contract because of factors beyond its control or because of a Force Majeure Event, HML will notify the Client as soon as is reasonably practicable and will use reasonable endeavors to secure the return of any money paid by the Client in respect of which HML has been unable to discharge its obligations under this Agreement.

9.2 Market Disturbance

9.2.1 HML may give a notice (“a Disturbance Notice”) to the Client at any time if it forms the view that market conditions in the relevant market for the underlying asset are seriously disturbed.

9.2.2 This includes circumstances where, in HML's opinion, the underlying asset is not available (for example, deposits in the currency concerned are not available) in the ordinary course of business to HML in the relevant market or because of national or international financial, political or economic circumstances, or because of exchange controls.

9.2.3 When a Disturbance Notice is given, HML's obligations will be suspended while it and the Client negotiate alternative arrangements.

If they do not reach agreement within that period, each will be released from its obligations under the relevant transaction.
