CTM's copytrade-market.com portal is aimed exclusively for experienced and well-informed customers who are aware of the risks associated with trading in foreign exchange and derivatives and who make their investment decisions independently and on their own responsibility. The customer's investment decisions are based solely on his own knowledge and the information and documents that the customer has obtained himself and without the intervention of CTM.
Only persons who are of legal age and have full legal capacity are authorised to use the CTM services.
CTM has set up a hotline for questions. Details of this customer service can be found on the website www.copytrade-market.com.
1. Scope of application
1.1 The website www.copytrade-market.com contains information and applications that are freely accessible and can be used by the customer free of charge. Separate general terms of service apply to this use.
1.2 The following General Terms and Conditions apply to the provision of information on products offered by asset management companies. CTM merely establishes contact between the client and the asset management companies. CTM is neither a representative of the asset management companies nor a party to any contract between the customer and an asset management company. In the case of asset management, the corresponding contract is concluded exclusively between the client and the respective asset management company. Within the framework of such a contractual relationship or in the case of other additional service and contractual relationships, the respective general terms and conditions of business or contractual conditions of the respective contractual partner shall apply.
1.3 This offer is aimed at clients who make all investment decisions themselves. The copytrade-market.com platform only offers you publicly accessible information about products from regulated asset management companies. However, CTM does not provide advice on individual products.
1.4 These GTC are available on the website www.copytrade-market.com. The customer can view them there by clicking on the "GTC" button. Furthermore, he can print or save this document, by using the usual function of his internet service programme. To open PDF files, the free Adobe Reader programme is required (at www.adobe.de) or comparable programmes that support the PDF format.
2. Object of performance
2.1 On the basis of an application completed and submitted by the customer, CTM arranges the possibility of linking a broker account with a trading strategy of a regulated asset management company. The customer cannot open broker accounts with CTM itself. Furthermore, CTM itself does not provide any investment or banking services. CTM acts solely as a platform on which various products from different asset management companies can be viewed and forwards the customer to the asset management company. Successful brokerage is neither promised nor owed. The respective asset management company alone decides on the acceptance of asset management and the associated contract. This regulation also applies to other client orders.
2.2 CTM forwards the customer data to the responsible asset management company, provided the customer has decided in favour of a product. For all clients from countries in country groups 1 and 2 (see "CTM Guide for onboarding countries"), the responsible asset management company is Fonds Direkt AG, with registered office at Seifgrundstrasse 2 in 61348 Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany, an asset management company regulated by BaFin (German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority). For all clients from country groups 3 and 4 (see "CTM Guide for Onboarding of Countries"), the responsible asset management company is CTM Global Investment Ltd, with registered office at C2-401, 4th Floor, Grand Baie La Croisette, Grand Baie, Mauritius, an asset management company regulated by the FSC (Financial Services Commission). The allocation as to whether the client is from an EU or EU-like country (country group 1+2) or from a non-EU country (country groups 3+4) is made by the client's chosen broker. If the customer has a broker account with an EU-regulated broker, an EU country is assumed. Otherwise, a non-EU country is assumed. CTM is authorised to exchange the connected assets management firms at any time, provided that this does not result in any financial disadvantages for the customer.
2.3 Any information provided on the website www.copytrade-market.com does not constitute investment advice, risk assessment or recommendation, but merely serves to provide the customer with independent information and decision making. Nor does it replace a personal discussion with a qualified financial expert, but is to be regarded merely as support and non-binding information. CTM prepares the information to the best of its knowledge and with due care, but cannot guarantee that the content of is correct, complete and up to date. CTM also provides sales and contractual documents as well as advertising material and other information required by law, which CTM generally receives from third parties (online brokers and asset managers or other third parties) for this purpose. CTM cannot accept any liability for the completeness and accuracy of the content of these third-party documents and does not carry out any corresponding plausibility checks.
3. Opening and managing a broker account
3.1 On the website www.copytrade-market.com you will find information about the online brokers with whom CTM co-operates. However, it is not possible to open a broker account directly at copytrade-market.com. Instead, a broker account with one of the brokers listed at copytrade-market.com is required in order to utilise the services of the platform.
3.2 CTM forwards the client's information to the relevant asset management company as part of the proper workflow. The broker account required for asset management is opened exclusively by the previously selected broker. The management of this broker account is then carried out exclusively by the asset management company. CTM reserves the right to forward the application form in justified exceptional cases, in particular if the client has provided false or untrue information.
3.3 The acceptance of the offer submitted by the client is at the sole discretion of the asset management company. CTM has no influence on and assumes no guarantee that the asset management company will accept the application for broker account management submitted by the client. The contract is concluded when the asset management company confirms the asset management to the client following the necessary legitimisation check. The asset management company reserves the right to refuse to manage a broker account. This can also be done without stating specific reasons.
3.4 The General Terms and Conditions of Business and Contract, service and product descriptions of the respective contractual partners apply exclusively to the opening and management of broker accounts.
3.5 If the client submits his enquiry regarding asset management to CTM by sending relevant documents, he instructs CTM to forward this enquiry to the asset management company concerned.
4. Asset management
Costs and fees are charged by the respective asset management company for the execution of the asset management in accordance with the contract concluded between the client and the asset management company. (see List of Prices and Services for Asset Management)
5 Obligations of the customer
5.1 The customer must ensure that no other person obtains knowledge of the respective access data for the platform.
5.2 The customer undertakes to enter and transmit all information and data required in the context of an enquiry or an offer completely and correctly.
5.3 The customer shall provide CTM with a valid e-mail address. The customer agrees that communication and the provision of documents may take place by e-mail. The customer shall notify CTM immediately of any changes to the e-mail address.
6. Liability
6.1 The information and documents on the asset management product presented on the website www.copytrade-market.com are provided by the asset management companies and/or the clearing broker. The respective asset management company and/or clearing broker is responsible for this information. None of the information constitutes a promise, guarantee or assurance by CTM. CTM therefore assumes no liability for its up-to-dateness, accuracy or completeness. Furthermore, CTM does not guarantee that a contract will be concluded with the desired asset management company under certain conditions. Whether and under what conditions a contract is concluded with the asset management company depends exclusively on the agreements and the discretion of the asset management company.
6.2 When forwarding enquiries to the asset management company, CTM's obligation and liability shall be limited to forwarding the enquiry within the framework of the proper workflow.
6.3 CTM shall be liable without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the infringing party or one of its legal representatives or vicarious agents. Furthermore, CTM shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations whose fulfilment is essential for the proper performance of the contract, whose breach jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance the customer regularly relies (essential contractual obligations). In this case, however, CTM's liability shall be limited to the typical foreseeable damage. CTM shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those specified in the above sentences.
The above limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, for a defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the product and in the event of fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. Insofar as the liability of CTM is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
7. Grants and costs
7.1 CTM receives a commission for as long as the client broker account is managed by the asset management company. The commission currently amounts to 75% of the performance fee charged by the asset management company.
These commissions are not paid directly by the client, but are paid to CTM by the relevant investment companies from their fees. As these inducements are paid from fees that have already been charged to the client, the client does not incur any additional costs as a result of these inducements.
7.2 The respective management fees can be found in the information provided by the asset management companies for their respective products.
7.3 In addition, CTM occasionally receives non-cash benefits such as training courses, invitations to social events, information material and smaller gifts. CTM has no influence on the scope and amount of these benefits; they cannot be allocated to any individual information presentation/forwarding.
7.4 The customer agrees that CTM accepts these commissions/benefits from third parties as remuneration for forwarding the customer information to the asset management companies at the customer's request and waives any claims for surrender that may exist against CTM.
7.5 CTM assures that the acceptance of the inducements does not conflict with the proper presentation of information or the desired forwarding of information to the asset management companies in the interests of the client.
7.6 If the customer wishes further specification of this information, CTM shall provide the desired information on request.
8. Cancellation and revocation
8.1 The contract between CTM and the customer exists for an indefinite period and may be terminated at any time by either the customer or CTM with immediate effect.
8.2 The cancellation as well as any revocation of contracts between the client and the respective broker / asset management company shall be governed exclusively by the terms and conditions or the contractual terms and conditions of the respective contractual partner.
9. Amendments to these GTC
Amendments or new versions of these GTC shall be offered to the customer in text form no later than two months before the proposed date of their entry into force. If the customer has agreed an electronic communication channel (e.g. e-mail) with CTM as part of the business relationship, the amendments may also be offered by this means. The customer shall be deemed to have given his consent if he has not notified CTM of his refusal before the proposed date of entry into force of the changes. CTM shall make special reference to this authorisation effect in its offer. If the customer objects, CTM shall be entitled to terminate the business relationship.
10. Final provisions
10.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply.
10.2 If the contractual partner is a registered business person, the place of jurisdiction shall be Hanover, Germany.
10.3 The standard language of contract and negotiation is German, this English version is for translation purposes only. In case of differences, the German version shall be legally binding.
10.4 CTM reserves the right to change the services offered on the website or to offer different services.
