CFTC 承认,如有机会通过仲裁解决争议,在某些情形下,能够为客户带来诸多优势,包括能够迅速、最终解决争议而不产生大量成本。 然而,CFTC 要求各客户单独调查仲裁的相对优点并要求您自愿同意本仲裁协议。
签署本仲裁协议表明您:(1) 放弃在法院起诉的权利;(2) 同意受您或 XXXXX.xxx 可能根据本仲裁协议提交仲裁的任何索赔或反诉的仲裁约束。 然而,您不会放弃请求 CFTC 根据《商品交易法》 (Commodity Exchange Act) 第 14 条就根据本仲裁协议进行仲裁的任何争议提起赔偿程序的权利。 如果发生争议,将告知您 XXXXX.xxx 是否打算将争议提交仲裁。 如果您认为涉及到违反《商品交易法》并且您希望向 CFTC 申请第 14 节的“赔偿”程序,自通知日期起,您有 45 天的时间作出该选择。
您在 XXXXX.xxx 开立账户无需签署本仲裁协议。 参见 17 CFR 166.5。日期:

(To Be Completed by Customer Consenting to Arbitration for Dispute Resolution)
If Customer consents to arbitration for dispute resolution, Customer agrees that the following terms will be applicable to and will constitute a part of the XXXXX.xxx Customer Agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) to which this Arbitration Agreement is attached, and all capitalized terms used but not defined in this Arbitration Agreement will have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Customer Agreement.
Customer and XXXXX.xxx agree that any and all disputes arising out of the Customer Agreement will be settled by arbitration. If such a dispute arises, Customer will have the opportunity to elect a qualified forum for conducting such proceeding from a list provided by XXXXX.xxx, which list will include: (a) the contract market, if available, upon which the transaction giving rise to the dispute was executed or could have been executed; (b) the National Futures Association; and (c) at least one other organization that will provide Customer with the opportunity to select the location of the arbitration proceeding from among several major cities in diverse geographic regions and that will provide Customer with the choice of a panel or other decision maker composed of at least one or more persons, of which at least a majority are not members or associated with a member of a contract market or employee thereof, and which are not otherwise associated with a contract market (a “Mixed Panel”). XXXXX.xxx will provide Customer such list within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice from Customer that Customer intends to submit a claim to arbitration. Forty-five (45) days after receipt by Customer of such list, XXXXX.xxx may select a forum from such list. XXXXX.xxx agrees to pay any incremental fees that may be assessed by a qualified forum for the provision of a Mixed Panel, unless the arbitrators determine that Customer has acted in bad faith in initiating or conducting the proceeding.
The CFTC requires XXXXX.xxx to provide the following disclosure:
