Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with this Agreement and Terms.
The following Agreement and Terms apply to all investment (Company, Individual / Joint and Discretionary Investment Management DIM) accounts opened and maintained with us.

The Client Agreement
The Client Agreement is intended to simplify your relationship with us.
You are agreeing that its terms will apply to all your accounts, transactions and services while you are our client.
When you open a new account or enroll in a service, we will provide you with a specimen signature card that you are required to sign, scan and return it to us. This also acts as your agreement to the terms of the new account or service. As a result, in many cases, you will not need to sign an additional account agreement or other forms.
In particular, you are agreeing to arbitrate all controversies that arises between us.
We reserve the right at our sole discretion to modify or replace these terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.
By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Service.
Commissions and Fees
Fees:
Weybridge Assets charges a commission fee on each transaction, whether buying or selling shares. Account holders will be subject to the following trading fees;
- All transactions up to the maximum value of $20,000.00 will be charged a fee of $50.00 per trade;
- All transactions exceeding $20,000.00 will be charged a fee equal to 0.25% of the trade value;
- The commission fee will be included on the Trade Confirmation and it is the responsibility of the Transfer Agent, notary public or solicitor handling the trade to remit these funds to Weybridge Assets if client has not settled directly with the company.
You must also ensure that cleared funds are available on or before the day they are required.
Convenience with client protection:
Dependent on the relevant trading exchange, celerity and locality of the client, payments for shares are usually settled either directly with Weybridge Assets or through the relevant secure registered Transfer Agent. Transfer Agents function as a secure currency transfer facility between client and broker. In addition to transferring funds for the purchase or sale of shares, they may also be responsible for the safe and secure issuing and redeeming of certificates.
Exchange Rate
Where currency conversion is necessary to affect the purchase or sale of security, Weybridge Assets will not charge for currency conversion, which will be at bank base rate on date of execution and time of issue.
Client Restrictions
Minors cannot use the Service, designated accounts may however be ‘held’ for minors, but they must be operated by a person over 18 years.
To protect Broker/Client confidentiality we do not permit use of, or contact via, web based social networking or web based media chat sites, to any of its employees by their clients. These include, but not limited to; LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Skype, WhatsApp, MSN, MySpace and Yahoo.
Risk
Transactions in complex instruments may include risks that are unsuitable for some people. You should not deal in these unless you understand fully the nature of the agreement (and contractual relationship) you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to risk. If operating your account on an ‘execution-only’ basis we will need to be satisfied that the transaction in question is suitable for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.
You should be aware that the price and value of any investments and the income or dividend, if any, from them, can fluctuate, and may fall. You may get back less than the amount originally invested. Information on past performance where given, is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Exchange rate fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the value of investments and we shall not be liable for adverse market conditions or circumstances beyond our control.
There is an extra risk of losing money when shares are bought in some smaller companies. There is often a big difference between the buying and selling price of these shares. If they have to be sold immediately, you may get back much less than you paid for them. The price may change quickly and it may go down as well as up.
Recording
We may (but not obligated to) record communications between us and the Client. The Client consents such recordings by us may be used as evidence of the contents of the communications if pertinent in any dispute.
Termination
Either party may terminate the account by giving the other seven business days written notice, except in the case of DIM account holders.
Discretionary Investment Management accounts: DIM agreements and accounts exist a minimum duration of 12 months from date of inception and cannot be terminated until 1 calendar year has elapsed. Preferred 2% commissions levied on portfolio maturity are calculated on minimum average DIM account longevity.
Notwithstanding clause above, we shall be entitled to terminate, or suspend the account immediately, and without notice to the Client, on the happening of any of the following events:
- the Client fails to comply with any of its obligations herein or under any account or transaction;
- an encumbrancer takes possession, or a receiver, or receiver and manager is appointed over any of the property or assets of the Client;
- the Client makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order;
