Compensation arrangements

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. In the unlikely event that we were to face liquidation and cannot meet our obligations, private customers may be entitled to compensation from the scheme. Most types of investment business are covered for 100% of the first £30,000 and 90% of the next £20,000, so the maximum compensation is £48,000. Further information about compensation arrangements is available from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

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).
