‍

22. JURISDICTION AND ENFORCEABILITY

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IT REQUIRES MANDATORY ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESSES INSTEAD OF LITIGATION AND AFFECTS LEGAL RIGHTS YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE.

‍

Disputes & Arbitration

‍
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. You may choose to be represented by a lawyer in arbitration or proceed without one. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this agreement. If, however, either the class action waiver or coordinated claims provision below are found invalid, then the specific invalid provision will be unenforceable and will be severed, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will remain in full force.

In the event the parties are not able to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy, including those known or unknown that may be later discovered, between them arising out of or concerning these Terms or any provisions hereof, or other agreements on the Site, other agreements between us, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, legal or equitable, then such dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules (“ICDR”), conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the ICDR as those Rules exist on the effective date of this Agreement. If the arbitrator finds this location of arbitration unreasonably burdensome to you, a new location may be selected in a location mutually agreed upon by the parties, or the arbitration may be conducted over the phone, using video conferencing, or similar. You may be entitled to an in-person hearing near your place of residence. The following conditions for arbitration will apply:

1. There will be a panel of one (1) arbitrator.
2. The place of arbitration shall be Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
3. The arbitration shall be held, and the award rendered, in English.
4. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
5. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction.

If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to us, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to us must be addressed to:

Aqua Funds Consulting FZCO
Address: Dubai Silicon Oasis, DDP, Building A2, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Email Address: support@aquafutures.io

If we initiate arbitration, we will send a written Notice to an email address you have previously provided to us, if available. We may also use any other means to contact you, including a message in your account or to an address we have on file. A Notice, whether sent by you or by us, must:
(a) Describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and
(b) Set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).

If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. Arbitration forms can be downloaded from http://www.icdr.org.

Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS/REPRESENTATIVE/COLLECTIVE ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ARBITRATION OR CLASS ACTION. Further, unless both you and AquaFutures agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Class Action Waiver and the Disputes & Arbitration provisions shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

‍

23. Force Majeure

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these Terms that is caused by a Force Majeure Event. Our obligations under these Terms will be suspended, and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of a Force Majeure Event.

‍

24. Violation of These Terms

IF THE USER OR VISITOR VIOLATES ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING BY ACCESSING THE SERVICES IN CONFLICT WITH THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDING INCOMPLETE, UNTRUE, OR NON-UPDATED INFORMATION, OR ACTING IN A MANNER THAT (A) MAY CAUSE AquaFutures RISK OF OR ACTUAL REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE, OR (B) VIOLATES THE TRADING RULES, AquaFutures MAY PREVENT COMPLETELY OR PARTIALLY RESTRICT YOUR ACCESS TO ANY OR ALL OF THE SITES AND/OR SERVICES, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE AND WITHOUT ANY COMPENSATION OR REFUNDS.

‍

25. Waiver of Class Action Rights

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IT REQUIRES A WAIVER TO YOUR ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE (AND THE RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE IN) A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL.

THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW OR DEEMED BY A COURT OF LAW TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY. TO THE EXTENT EITHER PARTY IS PERMITTED BY LAW OR COURT OF LAW TO PROCEED WITH A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT:
(A) THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PURSUING THE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT); AND
(B) THE PARTY WHO INITIATES OR PARTICIPATES AS A MEMBER OF THE CLASS WILL NOT SUBMIT A CLAIM OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY RECOVERY SECURED THROUGH THE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

‍

26. Indemnification

‍You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the AquaFutures Parties, for all costs, liabilities, and legal fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party arising out of or relating to:
(a) Your access to or use of our Sites or Services,
(b) Your violation of the Terms or applicable law,
(c) The infringement by you, or any third party using your account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity,
(d) Any funding of your account from any source and any payment methods used.

AquaFutures reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any such matter without the prior written consent of AquaFutures. AquaFutures will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

‍

27. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

Activity in the AquaFutures Trading is subject to the functioning of a real market. Taking advantage of the simulated environment to gain an edge in AquaFutures Trading is not permitted. By way of example, slippage, preferential order in the queue, market gaps, and high volume of trades within short periods of time are areas you are not permitted to take advantage of in AquaFutures Trading.

Trading activity in AquaFutures Trading that knowingly or unknowingly circumvents targets and rules or generates profits that could not otherwise be achieved in live market trading is a violation of the Terms. In the event of such actions, AquaFutures retains the right to:

• Reject any claims of passing or advancing in AquaFutures Trading
• Render your account ineligible
• Prohibit you from further use of any of AquaFutures' site or services

If you are found to have profited from taking advantage of the simulated environment to gain an edge in your AquaFutures Trading at any time you have graduated past AquaFutures Trading, or otherwise deemed to have engaged in other Prohibited Conduct (defined below), you will not be entitled to receive any withdrawals from any other account maintained with AquaFutures. All such accounts will be forfeited and closed immediately.

Prohibited Conduct

In connection with the use of the Site or Services, the user is prohibited from the following activities (collectively, "Prohibited Conduct"):

• Using any trading strategy intended to exploit or create errors in the Services, such as errors in the display of prices or delay in their updates.
• Using any trading strategy that includes disruptive practices (as determined in AquaFutures' sole discretion), including but not limited to spoofing strategies.
• Trading an excessive or unrealistic number of contracts within a single day.
• Performing trades at any time outside the best bid or offer.
• Performing trades using an external or slow data feed.
• Performing, alone or in concert with others, including between connected accounts or accounts held with different AquaFutures parties, trades or combinations of trades, the purpose of which is to manipulate, abuse, or give the user an unfair advantage while using the Site or Services. For example, this includes engaging in short-term or high-frequency trades or simultaneously entering into opposite positions.
• Performing trades in conflict with the terms and conditions of AquaFutures of the User Section and the terms and conditions of AquaFutures Trading.
• Using any software, artificial intelligence, ultra-high-speed, or mass data entry techniques that might manipulate, abuse, or give the user an unfair advantage while using the Site or Services.
• Otherwise performing trades in contradiction with how trading is actually performed in the applicable futures markets, or in a way that establishes justified concerns that AquaFutures might suffer financial or other harm as a result of the user’s activities.
• In concert with others, including between unconnected accounts and third parties, performing the same trading strategy (i.e., performing the same trades in the same time increments), the opposite strategy, or other activity meant to pool or hedge the risk of the aggregate, unconnected accounts.
• Using any instruments that may adversely affect the operation of the Site and Services or that would be intended to misuse any errors, bugs, or other deficiencies of the Site and Services.
• Circumventing geographical restrictions of availability or any other technical restrictions.
• Holding a position within 2% of a product’s lock limit.
• Trading on behalf of others, including but not limited to sharing any incentives as part of any business arrangement.
• Engaging in other conduct which, in the sole discretion of AquaFutures, represents uncommercial activity, is intended to game the market, or otherwise is not a viable trading strategy.

Trading Rules & Obligations

All use of the Site and Services, including trading in AquaFutures Trading, is subject to trading rules established by AquaFutures (collectively, "Trading Rules"), which are subject to change by AquaFutures in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time. The current Trading Rules are set forth on the Site. The user acknowledges and agrees that the user is solely responsible for staying current on the Trading Rules, which remain subject to change at any time and from time to time, with or without notice.

• Trading hours: Products may be traded during normal electronic trading hours unless otherwise indicated. The Daily Loss Limit is an objective for your account, and if broken, counts as a rule violation. If the Net P&L should hit or exceed the Daily Loss Limit during the trading day (5:00 PM CST to 3:10 PM CST), the account will hit a Hard Breach and will be auto-liquidated for the remainder of the then-current trading session. This means any open trading positions will be flattened, any pending orders will be canceled, and your account will be prevented from placing any new trades until the start of the next trading day (5:00 PM CST).
• Market close: Trading can only occur during normal electronic trading hours unless otherwise indicated by AquaFutures. Abbreviated holiday hours can be found on the AquaFutures website. All positions MUST be closed prior to 3:10 PM CST or prior to the market close, whichever is sooner. Traders are only permitted to trade permitted products by AquaFutures. For more information, please visit our help center.
• Excessive trades: Excessive or unrealistic single-day trades or single trade profits will be subject to review by AquaFutures for any possible violations of these Terms or Trading Rules or engaging in any Prohibited Conduct or Prohibited Uses.
