SERVICES AND THEIR ORDER

You can order the Services through the Website by completing the appropriate registration or order form. After registration, we will e-mail you the login details for the Client Section and/or Trading Platform and allow you to access them.

All data that you provide to us through the registration or order form, the Client Section, or otherwise must be complete, true, and up to date. You must immediately notify us of any change in your data or update the data in your Client Section. The Customer is responsible for all the provided data being accurate and up to date; the Provider is not obligated to verify the data.

You acknowledge that if you provide an identification number, tax registration number or other similar information in the registration or order form or in the Client Section, or if you state that you are a legal entity, you will be considered as an entrepreneur (trader) for the purposes of these GTC and when using the Services, and the provisions of these GTC or the applicable law that grant rights to consumers will not apply to you.

The fee for the SGB Challenge varies according to the option selected and depends on the amount of the initial capital, the degree of the acceptable risk, the parameters that must be fulfilled so that the conditions of the SGB Challenge and the subsequent Verification are met, and possibly other configurations. More detailed information on individual options and fees for those options are provided on our website here. The final fee will be determined based on the option you select when completing the form for ordering the SGB Challenge. The Provider reserves the right to also provide the Services under individually agreed conditions. All individually agreed conditions shall be determined by the Provider at its own discretion. Individual discounts and other benefits may not be combined, unless expressly stipulated otherwise by the Provider.

The fee is paid for allowing you to access the SGB Challenge, or the Services provided under the SGB Challenge. The Customer is not entitled to a refund of the fee, for example, if the Customer cancels the Customer’s Client Section or requests the cancellation by e-mail, if the Customer terminates the use of the Services prematurely (for example, fails to complete the SGB Challenge or the Verification), fails to meet the conditions of the SGB Challenge or the Verification, or violates these GTC.

If the Customer lodges an unjustifiable complaint regarding the paid fee or disputes the paid fee with the Customer’s bank or payment service provider (e.g. through chargeback services, dispute services, or other similar services), on the basis of which an annulment, cancellation or refund of the fee or any part thereof is requested, the Provider is entitled, at its own discretion, to stop providing to the Customer any services and refuse any future provision of any services.

Your choice of the option of the SGB Challenge that you select when making an order shall also apply to the subsequent Verification. You will start the subsequent Verification and, possibly, other products related thereto, with the parameters and the same currency that correspond to the option of the SGB Challenge selected by you. Once you make a selection, it is not possible to change it.

the Provider reserves the right to unilaterally change the fees and parameters of the Services at any time, including the parameters for their successful completion. The change does not affect the Services purchased before the change is notified.

Any data entered in the order form can be checked, corrected, and amended until the binding order of the Services. The order of the Services of your choice is made by submitting the order form. In the case of the SGB Challenge, the order is completed upon the payment of the fee for the selected option (more on this in clause 3), whereby the contract between you and the Provider is executed, the subject of which is the provision of the SGB Challenge and, if the conditions of the SGB Challenge are met, the Verification. The contract is concluded in English. We archive the contract in electronic form and do not allow access to it.

You acknowledge that the operators of trading platforms are persons or entities different from the Provider and that their own terms and conditions and privacy policies will apply when you use their services and products. Before sending an order form, you are obligated to read those terms and conditions and privacy policies.

If the Customer places an unusually large number of orders for the Services within an unreasonably short period of time, the Provider may notify the Customer through the Client Section as a protective precaution to mitigate potentially harmful behavior of the Customer. If such unreasonable behavior continuous after such notice, we reserve the right to suspend any further orders of the Services by the Customer. If we identify that the unusual behavior as per this paragraph relates to the Customer’s involvement in Forbidden Trading Practices, we may take respective actions as perceived in Section 5 of this GTC. The Provider reserves the right to determine, at its own discretion, the nature of the behavior described above and reasonable boundaries for such determination.
