Written notification shall be understood as e-mail, mail or announcement on Xenia’s website.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any judicial or administrative action or proceeding arising directly or indirectly hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether brought by Client or Xenia, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in all respects by the laws of the Cayman Islands and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands courts.

16. Termination

The Client may terminate and close the Forex Account(s) with immediate effect by giving Written Notice to Xenia. Accordingly, Xenia may terminate and close the Forex Account(s) with immediate effect by giving Written Notice to the Client. Any such termination will not affect any obligation which has already been incurred by either the Client or Xenia in respect of any Open Position or any legal rights or obligations which may already have arisen under normal trading operations or any Transactions and deposit/withdrawal operations made thereunder. Upon termination Xenia will be entitled without prior notice to the Client to cease to grant the Client access to the Trading Platform. Further, all amounts payable by the Client to Xenia will become immediately due and payable including (but without limitation):

– all outstanding fees, charges and commissions;

– any dealing expenses incurred by terminating the Forex Account(s); and

– any losses and expenses realized in closing out any Transactions or settling or concluding outstanding obligations incurred by Xenia on the Client’s behalf.

Xenia may change these Terms of use at any time and without prior notice. Xenia will attempt to inform users of changes to these Terms Of Use in connection with the Services. Changes to the Terms Of Use will take effect at a time indicated by Xenia. By using the Services or by express recognition, the user accepts any and all changes as binding. If the user does not accept any change to the Terms Of Use then they must cease use of the Services immediately.

18. Entry/Exit for PAMM Strategies and Risk of Loss

Strategy PAMM Entry (Deposits) / Exit (Withdrawals) are usually processed on (or just after) the 28th of each month, and NOT immediately upon request of a transfer by a client. Participants may pre-request transfers in / out (Entry/Exit) of the Strategy ahead of the 28th for batch processing to be done at the to be determined Entry/Exit. It’s important to understand that risk of loss exists when participating in PAMM Strategies, and withdrawals are NOT processed until the Entry/Exit time for a given Strategy.  This is due to the fact that when the Entry/Exit of funds for any participant is processed, the ratio allocation for every participant changes, and must be calculated and properly reset. The transfer requests are collected and done as a batch set of transactions on the Entry/Exit date.

Entry/Exit processing MUST be co-ordinated with the Strategy Provider (traders) to determine the best time to process the batch of transfers and to ensure that adequate funding is available in Cash Equity for the processing of withdrawals.

19. Dormant Account and Inactivity Account Fee ($10.00 USD per month) Due to the ongoing costs to Xenia of maintaining accounts with funds, such as annual FATCA/CRS reporting, client accounts that have a balance, but are without any trading can be a costly burden to Xenia. Clients with accounts that are inactive for more than 2 or more months in terms of trading or are not participating in Strategies will be charged a inactivity account fee of $10.00 USD per month until the balance is zero.
