Instant Trading terms

Overview

●These are the Terms under which DriveWealth facilitates Instant Trading through the DriveWealth Platform.

●Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in Company’s most recent Carrying Agreement, as amended from time to time (“Prior Agreements”). By integrating to the DriveWealth Platform to offer Instant Trading, Company accepts these Terms and agrees to incorporate them into the Prior Agreements. These Instant Trading Terms supersede any prior versions. Wherever there is a general conflict between these Terms and the Prior Agreements, these Terms will control and the Prior Agreements will be construed accordingly.

Limitations

●Company’s ability to offer Instant Trading is subject to integration between Company’s Platform and the DriveWealth Platform.

●Additional limitations may be contained in DriveWealth’s Customer Account Agreement and Margin Risk Disclosure.

Definitions

Capitalized terms shall have the following meanings as used in these Instant Trading Terms. Terms in the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Other capitalized terms have the same meaning as in the Prior Agreements.

●“T” means the then current date (Eastern time). T+1, T+2, T+3, etc. refer to the number of days after T.

●“Net Trading” means the amount required for Company to settle based on current trading, as calculated exclusively by DriveWealth.

●“Settlement Amount” means the funds necessary to settle a day’s Transactions, as calculated by DriveWealth and communicated to Company.

Additional Terms

●Company certifies that it may offer Instant Trading to its Customers under Applicable Law.

●To the extent that Company’s Customers are fully disclosed to DriveWealth:

○Customers who instant trade will be set up with Xxxxxx Accounts. The creation of a Margin Account for a Customer does not constitute approval by DriveWealth for leverage to be extended to a Customer, and additional approval will be required for leverage to be extended. Some types of accounts are ineligible for the extension of leverage; and

○Company will deliver and continue to make available to its Customers DriveWealth’s Margin Risk Disclosures, or other disclosures that DriveWealth makes available related to Instant Trading, and provide or otherwise make available to DriveWealth, in a manner mutually agreed between Company and DriveWealth, the audit trail or data sufficient to show such delivery; and

○Company will deliver to Customers, and obtain their agreement to, the most recent version of DriveWealth’s Customer Account Agreement (whether at Customer onboarding or upon enrollment in Instant Trading) and continue to make DriveWealth’s Customer Account

Agreement available to Customers and provide or otherwise make available to DriveWealth, in a manner mutually agreed between Company and DriveWealth, the audit trail or data sufficient to show each Customer’s agreement to DriveWealth’s Customer Account Agreement.

●Settlement. Company must deliver funds to DriveWealth equal to the Settlement Amount by 1:30pm ET on T+1, or such other time as may be communicated by DriveWealth in writing to you (“Settlement Cutoff”), in order for trades to be timely settled.

●Failure to Cover Settlement Amount. In the event that Company does not timely send funds sufficient to cover the Settlement Amount for a particular day’s Transactions, DriveWealth will first use Company’s Clearing Deposit to settle Transactions. If Company’s Clearing Deposit is insufficient to cover the Settlement Amount, then DriveWealth maintains sole discretion as to whether or not to use its own funds to settle Transactions on behalf of Company or its Customers. Failure to send the Settlement Amount will result in a Late Settlement Fee as described in the Prior Agreements or Fee Schedule, as applicable. Repeated failure to timely send funds sufficient to settle Transactions may constitute a Default by Company of the Prior Agreements.

●Clearing Deposit. By using Instant Trading and thereby agreeing to these Terms, Company allows DriveWealth to use the Clearing Deposit, as necessary 1) to settle transactions when funds sufficient to cover the Settlement Amount are not received, 2) for any other purposes necessary to enable Instant Trading, and 3) as may be further described in the Prior Agreements.

●Fees. In the event that the Settlement Amount is not received by Settlement Cutoff, and DriveWealth must use alternate funds to settle Transactions, including use of the Clearing Deposit, Company will trigger the Late Settlement Fee, as described in the Prior Agreements or Fee Schedule, as applicable.

●Net Trading Limits. If Net Trading reaches certain levels (“Net Trading Limits,” as communicated by DriveWealth in writing), DriveWealth reserves the right to take action including immediately cutting off or limiting trading. DriveWealth will determine the Net Trading Limits based on a variety of risk factors, and will review the Net Trading Limits on an ongoing basis to determine whether adjustments are necessary.

●Company understands and acknowledges that DriveWealth may rely on Company’s certifications, acknowledgments, and representations contained within these Terms. Company acknowledges that it has an ongoing obligation to notify DriveWealth if any of its certifications, acknowledgements or representations are no longer accurate.

●In the case that the requirements described in these Instant Trading Terms are not met, DriveWealth reserves the right to discontinue, suspend, or otherwise restrict availability of Instant Trading to Company and to require cash on hand in Customers’ Accounts before allowing trading.
