In such circumstances, without prejudice to any rights it may have, U TRADE MARKETS shall not be bound by any Contract which purports to have been made (whether or not confirmed by U TRADE MARKETS) at a price which: i U TRADE MARKETS is able to substantiate to the Client was manifestly incorrect at the time of the transaction; or ii was, or ought to have reasonably been known by the Client to be incorrect at the time of the transaction. In which case U TRADE MARKETS reserves the right to either a. cancel the trade all together or b. correct the erroneous price at which the trade was done to either the price at which U TRADE MARKETS hedged the trade or alternatively to the historic correct market price. 5.13 Trading strategies aimed at exploiting errors in prices and/or concluding trades at off-market prices (commonly known as "sniping") are not accepted by U TRADE MARKETS Provided that U TRADE MARKETS can document that there on the time of theconclusion of the trade were errors in prices, commissions, or in the Trading Platform, and provided U TRADE MARKETS can render probable that the Client, based on its trading strategy or other provable behavior, deliberate and/or systematically has exploited or attempted to exploit such an error, U TRADE MARKETS is entitled to take one or more of the following countermeasures: i adjust the price spreads available to the Client; ii restrict the Client's access to streaming, instantly tradable quotes, including providing manual quotation only; iii retrieve from the Client's account any historic trading profits that U TRADE MARKETS can document have been gained through such abuse of liquidity at any time during the client relationship; and/or iv terminate the client relationship immediately by giving written notice. 5.14 If the Client is more than one person (for example, joint accountholders): i the liabilities of each such person shall be direct, joint and several; iii any notice or other communication provided by U TRADE MARKETS to one such person shall be deemed to have been provided to all such persons; and iv the rights of U TRADE MARKETS under Clause 19 shall apply if an event described in Clause 19 shall be deemed to have occurred in respect of any one of such persons. 5.15 The Client agrees that U TRADE MARKETS may record all telephone conversations, internet conversations (chat), and meetings between the Client and U TRADE MARKETS and use such recordings, or transcripts from such recordings, as evidence towards any party (including, but not limited to, any regulatory authority and/or court of law) to whom U TRADE MARKETS at its reasonable discretion sees it to be desirable or necessary to disclose such information in any dispute or anticipated dispute between U TRADE MARKETS and the Client. However, technical reasons may prevent U TRADE MARKETS from recording a conversation, and recordings or transcripts made by U TRADE MARKETS will be destroyed in accordance with U TRADE MARKETS's normal practice. Consequently, the Client should not rely on such recordings to be available. 5.16 When the Client instructs U TRADE MARKETS to enter into a position opposite to one or more of the Client's open positions, U TRADE MARKETS will close out the opposite position in accordance with the FIFO principles unless the position has related orders or otherwise agreed. 5.17 The Client acknowledges that U TRADE MARKETS has the right to, but not the obligation to close directly opposite positions. This applies not only when the positions are held on the on the same account, but also when they are held on separate accounts. 5.18 If the Client operates several Accounts (or subaccounts) and opposite positions are opened on different Accounts (or sub-accounts), U TRADE MARKETS shall not close out such positions. The Client is specifically made aware that unless closed manually, all such positions may be rolled over on a continuous basis and thereby consequently all incur a cost for such roll-over.
