Forex Transactions agreed between you and Moni Plus are known as Spot Contracts which normally have a Value Date that is two business days after the contract date. Moni Plus does not enter into Forward or other Derivative Forex Transactions.

3.2 Where a Forex Transaction is entered into, Moni Plus shall promptly confirm the terms by issuing to you, either online or by email, a written Confirmation of the Forex Transaction. The failure of Moni Plus to do so, shall not prejudice the rights of either party under the contract.

3.3 You may enter into Forex Transactions either online, by email or by telephone. Forex Transactions become legally binding;

Such "out of market quotes" are not binding and Moni Plus will re-quote as soon as the error is discovered by us or has been bought to the attention of Moni Plus.

3.6 Once a Forex Transaction has become legally binding you are not able in any circumstances to cancel the contract. You may only take action to correct any of the details in the Confirmation that do not correctly reflect the detail that we had agreed.

3.7 In entering into Forex transactions Moni Plus acts as principal and not as your broker or agent.

 

Limit Orders

4.1 Moni Plus will accept from you Limit Orders to enter into a new Forex Transaction. Limit Orders are only accepted on a best endeavors basis.

4.2 Once accepted by Moni Plus, Limit Orders remain valid until the earlier of execution by Moni Plus or cancellation/modification by you.

Client Settlements

5.1 Your settlement obligation for each Forex Transaction is to pay the currency specified in the Confirmation without any deduction, set-off or counter-claim. Settlement must be exactly as specified in the Confirmation and must be made on or before the "Balance Date".

5.2 All settlements, unless otherwise advised in the Confirmation, must be made to our account electronically. You acknowledge that, as a matter of policy, we do not accept cash or cheques as a means of settlement. Acceptance of cash, in settlement of FX transactions, constitutes a breach of our agreement with our service providers. Consequently, where it is determined that a client has settled a Foreign Exchange (FX) transaction by depositing cash directly to the bank account of MoniPlus, Moni Plus reserves the right to cancel the transaction and such cancellation will be at the current rate of exchange.

The Kina funds (less any fees charged by our bank) will be either returned to you by cheque or frozen in accordance with other AML requirements, at the sole discretion of MoniPlus.

5.3 Any deduction from the amount due by you, either as a result of bank charges or otherwise, may at the sole discretion of Moni Plus be recovered from you by reducing, at the current market rate, the amount due to you in respect of that Forex transaction. In the event that we agree to make full payment for you without having first received your settlement in full, you agree that any shortfall is an amount still owing by you and Moni Plus does not waive any of its right to seek recovery of that shortfall.

5.4 Where the settlement amount due by you is received after Value Date, Moni Plus reserves the right to charge for any funding costs arising from the late payment. Any such amount will be charged as a fee and not as an adjustment to the rate specified in the Confirmation.

Moni Plus Payments.

6.1 Moni Plus's obligation to you is to pay on Value Date, as per your instructions, the currency you have purchased, subject to and conditional upon you having first paid all amounts required to be paid to Moni Plus under each Forex Transaction.

6.2 These amounts must be received by Moni Plus as cleared funds without recourse. Moni Plus will not be responsible for or have any liability for any delay in payment to your Beneficiaries accounts, where such delay is caused by recourse still existing, or any other delay caused by any bank or other third party.

6.3 Moni Plus will not be responsible for or have any liability for any bank charges deducted by paying or receiving banks or other financial intermediaries from amounts transferred to your Beneficiary accounts.

6.4 Where Moni Plus sends the funds you have purchased to the wrong Beneficiary account as a result of your error, we shall take all reasonable action in assisting you in the recovery of those funds but we will be under no obligation to recover such funds or to resend them to the correct Beneficiary account. Where recovery is not possible you will need to enter into a new Forex Transaction for any shortfall that you wish to settle to your Beneficiary.

6.5 Where Moni Plus sends the funds you have purchased to the wrong Beneficiary account as a result of our error we shall take immediate action, at our own expense to recover those funds, providing that you also assist us in that recovery process, if the Beneficiary is in any way associated with or known to you. Moni Plus shall within a reasonable period of time after initiating the recovery process credit the correct Beneficiary account with the full amount of funds that you instructed to be remitted to that account, but that shall be the full extent of Moni Plus's liability.

(a) The amounts concerned relate to Forex Transactions.

(b) The amounts concerned are due in the same or different currencies.
