Introduction
HMC Markets provides access to trading and investment-related services. Financial markets involve risk, and users should carefully understand the potential risks before using any trading or investment service.
1. Market Risk
Financial markets can be highly volatile. The value of currencies, gold, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies, and other financial instruments can move rapidly due to economic, political, financial, and market conditions.
2. Risk of Loss
Trading and investment activities may result in partial or total loss of invested capital. There is no guarantee that an investment will generate a profit.
3. Past Performance
Past performance, historical results, or previous returns should not be considered a guarantee of future performance. Market conditions can change at any time.
4. Investment Decisions
Users are responsible for evaluating their own financial circumstances, objectives, and risk tolerance before making an investment or trading decision.
5. Leverage Risk
Where leveraged trading is available, leverage can increase both potential gains and potential losses. Users should understand the risks associated with leverage before using it.
6. Liquidity Risk
Certain markets or financial instruments may experience limited liquidity. This may affect the ability to open, close, or execute positions at the expected price.
7. Technology and Operational Risk
Trading and investment services depend on internet connections, payment systems, software, servers, and other technology. Technical problems, maintenance, network interruptions, or system failures may temporarily affect access to services.
8. Currency Risk
Where transactions involve currencies different from a user's base currency, exchange-rate movements may affect the value of deposits, investments, profits, or withdrawals.
9. Regulatory and Legal Risk
Financial regulations and legal requirements may vary between countries and may change over time. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of HMC Markets services is permitted in their jurisdiction.
10. No Guaranteed Returns
HMC Markets does not represent that any investment or trading activity will produce a guaranteed profit or fixed financial outcome unless expressly stated in an applicable official agreement and permitted by applicable law.
11. User Responsibility
Users should not invest money they cannot afford to lose. Users should seek independent financial, legal, or tax advice where appropriate before making financial decisions.
Important Warning
Trading and investment in financial markets carry significant risk. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. By using HMC Markets services, you acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with financial markets and accept responsibility for your own investment decisions.
