29. DECLARATION

By acceptance of this Agreement, Client hereby declares that the moneys invested in Client’s account with MAKASKY do not originate from drug trafficking, abduction, or any other criminal activity.

30. TAX COLLECTION

Client knows, understands and agrees that, in general, MAKASKY does not collect tax for any authority in any form or manner. Without limiting the foregoing, it is Client’s obligation alone to calculate and pay all taxes applicable to you in Client’s country of residential jurisdiction, or otherwise arising as a result of Client’s trading activity from the use of the MAKASKY’s services. Without derogating from Client’s sole and entire responsibility to perform tax payments, Client agrees that MAKASKY may deduct tax, as may be required by the applicable law, but is not obligated to do so, from the results of the activity with MAKASKY. Client is aware that amounts that may be withdrawn by Client from Client’s account are “gross amounts”, from which the MAKASKY may deduct such taxes, and that Client shall have no claim towards MAKASKY with regard to such deductions.

31. ACCOUNT PROCEDURES - IDENTIFICATION

Client acknowledges that applicable laws require financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information identifying each person who opens an account and, accordingly, Client has provided MAKASKY with certain identifying information and documents. Client confirms that Client has provided true, accurate, current and complete information during the registration process, and that Client has not impersonated any person or entity, or misrepresented any affiliation with another person, entity or association, used false headers or otherwise concealed Client’s identity from MAKASKY for any purpose.

32. WITHDRAWAL AND DEPOSIT PROCEDURES

Client further acknowledges and accepts MAKASKY’s procedures with respect to withdrawals and deposits to accounts as set forth below: Withdrawal orders: The provision of documentation as may be required from time to time by AML regulations, credit card companies and MAKASKY, is a prerequisite, prior to the execution of a withdrawal order. Credit card deposits may be, according to credit card companies’ regulations, returned to the same credit card when a withdrawal is performed. A withdrawal to a bank account where initial deposits have been performed by credit cards will be executed back to credit card or to the bank account at MAKASKY’s discretion. Withdrawals to bank account may take a longer time period, due to additional security procedures. Credit Card Deposits Variance: When choosing an account base currency other than USD, Client’s credit card may be debited sums which due to exchange rates and credit card companies’ fees, may slightly vary from the initial sum that has been deposited by Client in the account base currency. Client hereby accepts that such variations may occur and hereby affirms that Client shall not seek to object or charge this back. When depositing by a Bank Transfer, as required by anti money-laundering regulations, Client is required to use only one bank account, which is in Client’s country of residence and in Client’s name. An authentic SWIFT confirmation, showing the origin of the funds, must be sent to MAKASKY. Failure to submit such SWIFT may result in the return of the deposited amount, hence preventing the deposit of such pending amounts to Client’s account. Any withdrawal of funds, from Client’s MAKASKY account to a bank account, can only be refunded to the same bank account that the funds were originally received from. Alternative payment methods (internet payment vendors; money transfer services; etc.): when depositing funds using a facility other than credit cards and/or banks, you agree to, and acknowledge being bound by, the regulations and rules of such service, including, but not limited to, fees and other restrictions. MAKASKY, at its sole discretion, may execute withdrawals to a facility other than the facility used for the original deposit, in accordance with anti money laundering regulations.

33. THIRD PARTY ADVISOR DUE DILLIGENCE

If Client’s account is associated with a third party trading advisor, Client recognizes that foreign currency trading advisory may include false advertising and misleading information. Client acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to conduct any necessary due diligence regarding their third party trading advisor, including but not limited to: (a) reviewing a disclosure document that, at the minimum, provides: the Agent’s biography, outlines the investment methodology, discloses the fees charged by the Agent, and discloses the risks associated with the investment methodology examining references from another client; or (b) having his/her attorney or accountant verify the accuracy of any performance record provided to Client, and review any contractual agreement to be executed by and between Client and the third party trading advisor. Client recognizes the foregoing, and confirms that he/she has: (a) not been guaranteed any rate of return from the foreign broker prior to making this investment; (b) not been coerced or pressured into making this investment; and (c) may lose the entirety of the investment due to the speculative nature of foreign exchange trading.
