Terms and Condition
1. Introduction
This Agreement (the ‘Agreement’), including the schedules (if any) as amended from time to time, is the document that governs the relationship between you (referred to as ‘client’, ‘customer’, ‘you’, 'your', and ‘yourself’ as appropriate) and Probotx (also referred to as ‘probot’, ‘firm’, ‘company’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’, and ‘ourselves’ as appropriate) concerning the services provided by us to you and your activity with us.
2. Term
This agreement will take effect on the date that you (the “client”) receive and agree separately to its terms or, if earlier, once your account with us has been activated.
3. Communication Methods
We may communicate with you by telephone, letter, email, text message, or in-person meetings. We will use the contact details you gave us when you opened your account or any such details that you notified us of later on.
4. Scope of Service
- After we have accepted your application form, we will open your account. We may open different accounts for you. Depending on your knowledge, experience, and types of trades, certain account types and features may or may not be available to you. When we open an account for you, we will inform you of the type of account opened. We reserve the right to refuse to open an account for any reason. Furthermore, we may change the features and criteria of our accounts at any time by notifying you of the change, whether on our website, trading platform, via email, or otherwise in person.
- In this clause 4, we describe the services we may agree to carry out for you were you have elected to receive such a service in the client application form and/or such other services as may be specifically agreed in writing between us. The available services are: •
- a. Reception and transmission of orders.
- b. Execution of orders on your behalf; and
- c. Dealing on your account through the bots offered by our platforms.
“Bots” are here defined as “an automated trading bot that executes trades across multiple markets, including Forex, Indices, and Commodities. Using advanced algorithms, it scans market data, identifies trading opportunities, and executes trades based on your predefined settings and risk preferences.”
- We will only accept instructions transmitted via the means approved by us, including, but not limited to, the email address you used to activate your account (i.e., your registered email address), and under certain circumstances, as determined within reason by us, accept instructions via telephone, provided that we are satisfied of your identity and of the clarity of the instructions. You may transmit orders by contacting the Dealing Department of Probot by telephone, in which case we need to be satisfied with your identity. Orders via telephone will be accepted only in our official language. It should be noted that Probot reserves the right to reject such verbal orders when the operator of the dealing department is not satisfied with the client’s identity or clarity of the orders. The client accepts that at times of excessive transaction flow there might be a delay in connecting over the telephone with an operator of the dealing department, especially when there are important market announcements. We do accept the orders placed by you through verbal communication, which takes place in person in a meeting with our representatives.
- We bear no responsibility for any loss that arises as a result of delayed or unread communication sent by us to you.
- That you will be able to submit your investment in our platform through multiple means, including but not limited to online banking transactions, crypto transactions, including Mcoin, cash transactions, or through any other channel that is approved by us.
- You understand that time is important when trading on leveraged products; therefore, you are responsible for ensuring that any communication in relation to your dealings with us is sent to us on time.
- You understand and accept that all your orders are executed by the bots available on our platform upon the instructions and specifications given by you. This means that the bot uses advanced strategies to scan the Forex market and execute trades and the order placed by you. By accepting the agreement and placing any order with us, you expressly provide your prior express consent before proceeding to execute your orders outside through using this bot technology introduced by our platform.
- We, along with our bots, are authorised by you to take any action we consider reasonably necessary or appropriate either to provide the services (including but not limited to acting as your agent and delegating our authority as your agent to another) or to comply with any applicable laws or regulations as may reasonably be appropriate. You agree to ratify and confirm everything lawfully done in the exercise of such discretion.
- There are multiple service charges and costs incurred by our platform in order to fulfil the transaction or order placed by you. By placing any order, you further confirm that our team leader has conveyed to you all the details of such costs, taxes, and charges, and you are fully aware of all such taxes, charges, and costs that we will bear, and you further agree that we have all rights to deduct all such taxes, amounts, and costs incurred by us in reference to the services provided to you by us under this Agreement before the completion of the transaction.
- We reserve the right to reverse any transactions that we deem to be contrary to your interest or ours, for any reason.
- We further reserve all the right to withhold any of your transaction or amount invested with us at any time due to suspicion of, including but not limited to, money laundering, terror financing, illegal source of money, etc. This shall further lead to due diligence and enhanced due diligence of the account and the transactions, after which the risk assessment department shall take the final decision regarding the disputed amount or the account.
6. Risks associated with the service
We provide services for trading derivative financial contracts. Our contracts are traded on a margin or leverage basis, a type of trading that carries a high degree of risk to your capital. The price of the contract you make with us may change quickly, and your profits and losses may be more than the amount of your investment or funds. If you do not hold sufficient funds to meet your margin requirements, then we may close your open positions immediately and without notice. Please read the Risk Warning Notice carefully to understand the risks of trading on a margin or leverage basis. You should not deal in our contracts unless you understand and accept the risks of margin trading. Trading in these products may not be suitable for everyone.
- All investment is subject to risk, and the degree of risk is a matter of judgement and cannot be accurately predetermined.
- We give no warranty, representation, or promise as to the performance or profitability of your account with us or your investments or any part thereof.
- The value of investments and the income derived from them can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed.
- Risk of Loss and Margin Calls Trading can result in the loss of some or all of your funds deposited. Unless you are a retail client, it is possible that you may lose more than your original amount invested (such excess loss, the “shortfall"), and you will be required to repay the shortfall immediately to us. The shortfall could be a substantial amount relative to the size of your amounts.
- In order to execute transactions on your behalf, we transact with third parties, including but not limited to banking institutions, when we have a requirement to hold client money, and we may also deposit client margin with our liquidity counterparties, which may also be a regulated banking institution or other financial institutions. The insolvency of any of these third-party entities may cause the insolvency of us and may delay the return of client money to you. Note, however, that we attach the greatest importance to client money protection and have taken steps to protect client funds. We are also required to hold a statutory amount of regulatory capital as a financial buffer to mitigate the adverse financial effects of its insolvency and/or winding up on its own.
- If, despite provisions put in place for such instances, our own technology or that of our liquidity counterparty or bots that execute transactions or any third-party on which our operations depend, including, without limitation, our data centre servers or commercial broadband as well as backup providers or systems for essential infrastructure, suffer a fault for any reason or an attack, you may suffer loss as a result. The firm will in each circumstance assess the reason for the losses incurred, and if the circumstance could reasonably have been expected to be avoided, then where possible and at its sole discretion, it will compensate the affected.
5. Advice
- As a retail client, you must advise us of your investment objectives and any relevant restrictions you want to impose when placing the order. Any such restrictions shall not be treated as breached solely as a result of subsequent variations in the value of any investment or asset credited to the account.
- We do not provide any advisory service, and any investment decision taken is exclusively by you alone, and should you require any advisory services, you must rely upon your own financial advisor. Therefore, any explanation we may provide as to the terms of a transaction or its performance characteristics will not amount to advice.
7. Representation and warranties
You hereby represent and warrant (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to be repeated by you on each date on which a transaction is entered into under this Agreement) that:
- You have full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, each authorisation to bot, transaction, and any other documentation relating thereto, and to perform your obligations under this Agreement and each transaction, and you have taken all necessary action to authorise such execution, delivery, and performance.
- Any such execution, delivery, and performance will not violate or conflict with any law applicable to you, any provision of any constitutional documents, any charge, trust deed, contract, or other instrument, or any contractual restrictions applicable to, binding on or affecting you or any of your assets, or oblige you to create any lien, security interest, or encumbrance.
- All governmental, regulatory, and other consents that are required to have been obtained by you in relation to this Agreement have been so obtained and are in full force and effect, and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with.

- You are acting as principal in entering into this agreement and each transaction hereunder.

- The funds are not the direct or indirect proceeds of any illegal act or omission, nor are they the product of any criminal activity that constitutes a predicate offence under any Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism legislation.
- You warrant that any documents sent to us during your account opening process, as well as throughout the duration of the agreement, are valid and authentic. In the event that we believe, in our sole discretion, that any document is incorrect or invalid, we will request alternative documentation. Failure from you to provide such documentation may lead us to take any necessary action, such as rejecting or terminating your account.
- Where you are an individual (i.e., a natural person), you warrant that you are over 18 years of age at the moment of entering into the agreement.
- You represent and warrant that you have been provided with a warning that trading leveraged products through bots involves a significant risk of loss and that, due to the speculative nature of trading, you should not invest more than you can afford to lose.
- You will not enter into any transaction that contravenes the governing legislation or any other law against insider dealing or market manipulation, either on an individual account or multiple accounts or multiple profiles and/or between one or more clients.
- You will not use the trading platforms offered by Probotx in any abusive way, including but not limited to latency arbitrage, swap arbitrage, and/or contrary to good faith, either on an individual account or multiple accounts or multiple profiles and/or between one or more clients.
- In the event that you entered into a transaction in breach of the representations and warranties given in the above clause or we have reasonable grounds for suspecting that you have done so, we reserve the right to cancel or consider void part or all your abusive transactions, close all or any of your account(s), recover any losses incurred from such practices, and terminate the agreement.
8. Delegation and use of agents
Without prejudice to the powers of executing transactions and delegation of authority to the bot offered by our platform, we may delegate any of our functions in respect of the services to an associate of ours and provide information about you and the services to any such associate on such terms as we may determine without your further consent, but our liability to you for all matters so delegated shall not be affected thereby. We will act in good faith and with due diligence in our choice and use of such agents.
9. Complaints and disputes
- If you wish to raise any complaint or dispute, you should contact us as soon as practicable. If we identify a dispute, we will notify you as soon as possible.
- We operate a complaints handling procedure to enable us to deal promptly and fairly with complaints. Details of this procedure are available on request from Client Management.
- Please keep your own record of dates or times of trades and other issues, as that will help us to investigate any complaints or disputes. It may be difficult or not reasonably possible for us to locate records/tapes in relation to trades and other issues in the absence of information about the dates and times of any trades or other issues in dispute.
- If either you or we notify the other party of a dispute, you and we will consult in good faith in an attempt to resolve the dispute in a timely manner, including, without limitation, by exchanging any relevant information and by identifying and using any agreed process that can be applied to the subject of the dispute, or, where no such agreed process exists or you and we agree that such agreed process would be unsuitable, by determining and applying a resolution method for the dispute.
