Compensation arrangements

As an FSA regulated firm, we participate in the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“the Scheme”). If you are an eligible claimant under the Scheme you may be entitled to compensation from it if we cannot meet our obligations. For most kinds of investment, you would receive 100% of the first £50,000. Further information about the Scheme can be obtained from Financial Services Compensation Scheme, 7th Floor, Lloyds Chambers, Portsoken Street, London E1 8BN.

The contract and law applicable to it

The contract and all future correspondence will be in English. Without agreement to the contrary, English Law will apply.

Tax laws and betting duty

We will pay the betting duty in respect of your spread bets. Legislation and tax laws change. You take the risk that your bets may be or become subject to tax (other than betting duty) e.g. because of your personal circumstances, for example if you bet by way of a business. We do not represent or warrant that no tax or stamp duty (other than betting duty) will be payable. You will be responsible for all taxes and stamp duty (other than betting duty) in respect of your bets and will indemnify us against them. If in doubt, you should obtain legal and/or independent financial advice.

Charges

For spread betting , commission and charges are built into the spread (except for daily rolling bets where financing is charged daily, please refer to the Market Information Sheets for full details).
