4. Client Categorisation
4.1. According to Applicable Regulations, the Company has to categorise its Clients in one of the
following categories: Retail Client, Professional Client and certain Professional Clients may be further
categorised as an Eligible Counterparty. The categorisation is undertaken on the basis of objective
criteria and shall depend on the information provided by the Client in his Account Opening Application
Form and according to the method of categorisation as this method is explained under the document
“Client Categorisation Policy”. By accepting this Agreement, the Client accepts application of such
method. The Company will inform the Client of his categorisation as a Retail Client or Professional Client
or, as the case may be, Eligible Counterparty according to Applicable Regulations. The Client has the
right to request different categorisation.
4.2. The Client accepts that when the Company is categorising the Client and dealing with him, the
Company will rely on the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the information provided by the
Client in his Account Opening Application Form and the Client has the responsibility to immediately
notify the Company in writing if such information changes at any time thereafter. It is noted that
different rules and different levels of protection apply to Clients depending on their categorisation. The
Client accepts that he may be put in different categories for particular investment services and/or
transactions and/or types of transactions and/or products.
4.3. The Company shall have the right to review the Client’s Categorisation, according to Applicable
Regulations and inform the Client accordingly of the change before it comes into effect by providing the
Client with advance notice of at least five (5) Business Days. The Client has the right to request a different
client categorisation.
4.4. Where the Company has categorised a Client as a Retail Client, the Client may ask the Company in
writing at any time to be treated as a professional client (and hence may lose certain protection and
investor compensation rights), either generally and/or in respect of a particular investment service
and/or transaction and/or type of transaction and/or product. The Company, however, at its discretion,
may decide not to take into consideration such request. Should the Company agree to take into
17 NAGA Markets Ltd (former Hanseatic Brokerhouse Global Markets Ltd) is regulated by CySEC under license
No. 204/13
Trading CFDs carries risk and could result in the loss of your deposit, please trade wisely
consideration such a request by the Client, it will, upon receipt of such request, assess whether the
Client meets the objectives of the ‘opt up’ conditions. The Company will further assess the expertise,
experience and knowledge of the Client and/or any other element that the Company deems to be
appropriate and in accordance with the information provided by the Client. In the course of the above
mentioned Company’s assessment, as a minimum, two of the following criteria should be satisfied,
following which the Company will notify the Client if and when it agrees to categorise the Client as a
Professional Client:
i. the Client has carried out transactions, in significant size, on the relevant market at an average
frequency of 10 per quarter over the previous four quarters; and/or
ii. the size of the Client's financial instrument portfolio, defined as including cash deposits and/or
financial instruments exceeds EUR 500 000; and/or
iii. the Client works and/or has worked in the financial sector for at least one year in a professional
position, which requires knowledge of the transactions or services envisaged.
4.4.1 It is further understood that if the Client is categorised as a Professional Client, the Client will lose
the protection afforded by certain CySEC Rules. This may include, but is not limited to:
a) the requirement for the Company to act in accordance with the Client’s best interests;
b) the Company’s obligation to provide appropriate information to the Client before providing the
Services;
c) the restriction on the payment or receipt by the Company of any inducements;
d) the Company’s obligation to ensure that all information it provides to the Client is fair, clear and
not misleading;
e) the requirement that the Client receives from the Company adequate reports on the Services
provided to him; and
f) the cover under the Investor Compensation Fund.
4.5. Where the Company has categorised a Client as a Professional Client which meets the ‘opt-up’
conditions, the Client may, with his express consent, be treated as an Eligible Counterparty either for all
services for which such ‘opt-up’ is permitted by Law and/or in respect of a particular investment service
and/or transaction and/or type of transaction and/or product.
18 NAGA Markets Ltd (former Hanseatic Brokerhouse Global Markets Ltd) is regulated by CySEC under license
No. 204/13

4.5.1 It is further understood that if the Client is categorised as an Eligible Counterparty, in addition to
the above mentioned protections lost for Professional Clients, the Client categorised as an Eligible
Counterparty will lose additional protection afforded by certain CySEC Rules as stated below. This may
include, but is not limited to:
a) the Company’s obligation to comply with the provisions of the Law on conduct of business
obligations when providing services to Clients;
b) the Company’s obligation to execute orders on terms most favourable to the Client; and
c) the Company’s obligation to provide for the prompt, fair and expeditious execution of its client
orders, relative to other client orders.
4.6. Where the Company has categorised a Client as a Professional Client, the Client may ask the
Company in writing at any time to ‘opt-down’ and be treated as a Retail Client (and hence benefit from
the higher level of protection of Retail Clients). Likewise, an Eligible Counterparty may, at any time,
request the Company to be treated as a Professional Client or as a Retail Client. Should the Company
accept such a Client request, the Client shall enter into a separate written agreement with the Company
which will specify the particular services and/or transactions and/or the types of products and/or
transactions to which the ‘opt-down’ applies.
4.7. Professional Clients and Eligible Counterparties are responsible for keeping the Company informed
of any change which could affect their categorisation as professional clients or eligible counterparties.
Should the Company become aware that a Professional Client/Eligible Counterparty no longer fulfils the
initial conditions that made him eligible for a Professional Client/Eligible Counterparty treatment, the
Company may take appropriate action, including re-categorising the Client as a Professional Client
and/or a Retail Client accordingly.
4.8. The Client, in accordance with MiFID, EMIR and FATCA applicable legislation, is bound by the
method of categorisation as this method is explained thoroughly in the Company’s official website under
the title “Client Categorisation Policy”. Further, and without limiting the foregoing, the Company, is
required to comply based on the Intergovernmental Agreement between Cyprus and the United States
and has taken all reasonable steps to be considered in compliance with FATCA. The Client acknowledges
and accepts that the Company, as an FFI, is required to disclose information in relation to any US
reportable person(s) to the relevant authorities, as per the reporting requirements of FATCA.

5. Assessment
5.1. In providing the investment Service of Reception and Transmission and Execution or dealing in own
account of Client Orders (as described in paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2 of this Client Agreement), the Company
is obliged under Applicable Regulations to seek information from a Client or potential Client regarding
his knowledge and experience in the investment field relevant to the specific type of investment service
or Financial Instrument offered or demanded, so as to enable the Company to assess whether the
investment service or Financial Instrument is appropriate for the Client. Where the Client or potential
Client elects not to provide the information regarding his knowledge and experience, or where he
provides insufficient information regarding his knowledge and experience, the Company will not be able
to determine whether the service or Financial Instrument is appropriate for him. The Company shall
assume that information about his knowledge and experience provided from the Client to the Company
is accurate and complete and the Company shall have no responsibility to the Client if such information
is incomplete or misleading or changes or becomes inaccurate and the Company will be deemed to have
performed its obligations under Applicable Regulations, unless the Client has informed the Company of
such changes.
5.2. Appropriateness
In accordance with current applicable regulatory and statutory legislative rules and requirements, the
Company is required to apply an Appropriateness Test which main objective is to obtain such
information as is deemed necessary for the Company to assess whether the Client has the necessary
experience and knowledge in order to understand the risks involved in the investment product and/or
in the investment service, to which requirement the Client explicitly consents herein.
The "Appropriateness Test" is a regulatory requirement which aims to increase investor protection in
the non-advised market. It applies in relation to the application of the following MiFID provisions,
namely;
• Articles 19(5) and (6) of MiFID (2004/39/EC) &
• Articles 36-38 of the MiFID Implementing Directive (2006/73/EC).
The requirements do not apply to Eligible Counterparties. In addition, the Company may assume that a
Professional Client has the necessary knowledge and experience to understand the risks involved
20 NAGA Markets Ltd (former Hanseatic Brokerhouse Global Markets Ltd) is regulated by CySEC under license
No. 204/13
Trading CFDs carries risk and could result in the loss of your deposit, please trade wisely
relating to the specific product and/or service for which they are classified as ‘Professional’. Where
applicable the Company will require from the Client to provide information regarding their knowledge
and experience in the investment field, relevant to the specific type of product and/or service offered,
to enable the Company to assess whether the service and/or product is appropriate for the Client and
prior to the provision of investment and / or ancillary services to Clients.
5.2.1. The Company is not obliged to perform the Appropriateness Test prior to the provision of
Investment and/or Ancillary Services in relation to Financial Instruments for specific type of transactions
only if it has previously received all the information required by the Law so as to assess the suitability of
the Clients’ investment decisions for the specific type of transactions. Further, the Company may
request from the Client to re-perform the Appropriateness Test in cases where a substantial and/or
material change, in the initial information provided by the Client, has occurred. As such, the Company
encourages Clients and/or potential Clients to provide all required information in order to assess their
suitability to take investment decisions and the appropriateness of the financial instruments they wish
to invest into.
5.2.2. The Company relies on the information provided by the Clients and/or potential Clients and it has
no responsibility unless it is aware and/or ought to have been aware that the information provided by
the Client and/or potential Client is manifestly out of date, inaccurate and/or incomplete. Subject always
to any applicable obligations in the Regulations, the Client is responsible for making an independent
appraisal and investigation into the risks of a particular transaction he wishes to invest into.
5.2.3. The Company further gives no warranty as to the appropriateness of the Investment and/or
Ancillary Services in relation to Financial Instruments and assumes no fiduciary duty in its relations with
the Client. Where applicable to the categorisation of the Client and only in relation to the Investment
and/or Ancillary Services in relation to Financial Instruments subject to the Regulations, the Company
will assess the appropriateness of proposed Investment and/or Ancillary Services in relation to Financial
Instruments offered to the Client. The Company will further warn the Client if it concludes that a
particular Investment and/or Ancillary Services in relation to Financial Instruments is not appropriate
for the Client, subject to the Client providing sufficient information to allow the Company to conduct
the assessment of appropriateness.
5.2.4. Information about knowledge and experience
21 NAGA Markets Ltd (former Hanseatic Brokerhouse Global Markets Ltd) is regulated by CySEC under license
No. 204/13
Trading CFDs carries risk and could result in the loss of your deposit, please trade wisely
Under Article 37 of MiFID, where the appropriateness test applies (i.e. other than for execution-only
transactions), the Company will need to ask for the following information from a Client:
• the types of services and products with which the client is familiar;
• the nature, volume and frequency of the client’s previous transactions;
• the client’s level of education; and
• the client’s profession and/or former profession.
However, this is not an exhaustive and/or definitive list of information gathering requirements. MiFID
provides that the precise components and rigour of information gathering and assessment will vary
according to the nature of the Client, the nature and/or extent of the service to be provided and the
type of product and/or transaction envisaged, including their complexity and the risks involved. The
Company may also use existing information it has (unless it is aware that the information is manifestly
out of date, inaccurate or incomplete) without requesting more from the client, if it is satisfied it has
the necessary information to satisfy the appropriateness test.
The Client further understands, accepts and agrees as per Article 19(6) (together with Article 38 of MiFID
implementing Directive), there is an exemption from the appropriateness test for certain types of
‘execution-only’ business. However, this is currently only available if all of the following conditions are
met:
a) the service consists only of the execution and/or the reception and transmission of orders
involving shares admitted to trading on a regulated market or in an equivalent third country
market, money market instruments, bonds or other forms of securitised debt (excluding those
bonds or other securitised debt that embed a derivative), UCITS and other noncomplex financial
instruments; and
b) the service is provided ‘at the initiative of the client or potential client’; and
c) the client or potential client has been clearly informed that in the provision of this service the
investment firm is not required to assess the suitability of the financial instrument or service
provided or offered, and that therefore the client does not benefit from the corresponding
protection of the relevant conduct of business rules; and
d) the investment firm complies with its obligations under Article 18 of MiFID (conflicts of interest).

5.2.5. As such, the Company follows internal processes and procedures (i) to distinguish between
‘complex’ and ‘non-complex’ products (which may already have been done at the product design stage);
(ii) to identify whether contact with the client is at the initiative of the Company; and (iii) to ensure that
necessary warnings have been provided.
5.2.5.1. The Company performs the Appropriateness Test for Clients categorised as “Retail” Clients and

an equivalent third country market, money market instruments, bonds and undertakings for collective
investment in transferable securities) admitted to trading on a regulated market or in an equivalent
third country market and the service is provided at Client’s initiative, the Company is not required to
either obtain information from the Client regarding his knowledge and experience and/or his financial
situation and/or his investment objectives so as to enable the Company to make an assessment as to
the appropriateness of the Financial Instrument or Service provided or offered. As such, the Client
herewith understands, accepts and agrees that he will not benefit from the protection of the relevant
rules requiring the Company to assess the appropriateness of the product, Service or Transaction for
the Client as the Company is not required to perform appropriateness test for the Retail Client, given
that the following conditions are met:
• the service is provided on the initiative of the Client or potential Client;
• the Company informs the Client that is not required to assess the appropriateness of the
financial
instrument and/or the service provided;

• the Company informs the Client that he is not subject to protection according to the
predetermined
conduct rules, policies and procedures; and
• the Company complies with its obligations with regard to conflicts of interest.
5.2.5.3. Process of reception, transmission and execution of orders in complex financial instruments
In the cases where the Company provides the services of Reception & transmission and Execution of
orders for buying or selling complex financial instruments (such as those financial instruments which
contain derivatives) , the Company is required to make an assessment as to whether the product and/or
service being provided and/or offered is appropriate for the Client, The Appropriateness Test is
performed on the provided services to Retail Clients, by deriving information regarding their experience
level and knowledge that would enable them to understand the risks related to the requested
transaction.
Should following the Appropriateness Test the Company considers the financial instrument, in relation
to the services provided, appropriate, in relation to the services provided to the specific Client, then the
service is properly provided to the Client. In this case, the elements to be assessed will be the Client’s
knowledge and experience in the investment sector relating to that particular category of financial
instrument offered or required, so as to secure that the Client is aware of any risks.
Should following the Appropriateness Test the Company considers the financial instrument, in relation
to the services provided, not appropriate, in relation to the services provided to the specific Client, then
the Company warns the Client accordingly through a disclaimer/on-line or electronic notification. Should
the Client insist on receiving services in relation to the specific financial instrument the Company can
only proceed after having warned the client that the Company is not responsible for the risks resulting
from the execution of the specific transaction and the provision of these services and only after having
received specific and written instructions by the Client. In any other case, the Company will not execute
the order.

The financial institution(s) (of paragraph 16.1 of this Client Agreement) where Client money will be held
may be within or outside Cyprus or the EU/EEA. The Client understands, accepts and agrees herewith
that the legal and regulatory regime applying to any such financial institution outside Cyprus or the
EU/EEA will be different from that of Cyprus. Hence, in the event of the insolvency or any other
equivalent failure or preceding of that person, the Client’s money may be treated differently from the
treatment which would apply if the money was held in a Segregated Account in Cyprus.
16.7 The Client understands, accepts and agrees herewith that according to section 18(2)(j) of Law
144(I)/2007, when holding funds belonging to clients, the Company must make adequate arrangements
to safeguard the clients’ rights and, except in the case of credit institutions, prevent the use of client
funds for its own account. The Client understands, accepts and agrees herewith that the Company is
able to use the margin in the following circumstances: (a) as long as the margin remains in the client
account, the client agrees that the Company has the right to transfer ownership of the client’s margin
from the client to the Company, to be kept by the latter as security, and be returned by the Company
to the client on completion of the client trade(s); and (b) in this case, the margin will be considered as
debt due by the Company to the client and not as client money, therefore it could be used by the
Company subject to the repayment obligation(s). Irrespective of the above, the balance and equity of
the client account(s) remain unaffected and the client may normally continue his/ her trading and/ or
other activity.
16.8. The financial institution to which the Company will pass Client money (as per paragraph 16.1 of
this Client Agreement) may hold it in an omnibus account and it may not be possible to separate it from
the Company’s money, or the third party’s money. Hence, in the event of the insolvency or any other
analogous proceedings in relation to that financial institution or third party, the Company may only have
an unsecured claim against the financial institution or third party on behalf of the Client and other
Company Clients, and the Client will be exposed to the risk that the money received by the Company
from the financial institution or third party is insufficient to satisfy the claims of the Client and all other
clients with claims in respect of the relevant account.
16.9. It is understood that the Company may hold Client money and the money of other clients in the
same account (omnibus account). This omnibus account is interest free. The Client understands, accepts
and agrees herewith that he waives all rights to interest in relation to this account(s), since the Company
may receive any profit and shall not pay to the Client any interest earned on Client money (other than
profit gained through trading Transactions from his Client Account(s) under this Agreement).

4.9. The Company’s BID and ASK prices for a given CFD are calculated by reference to the price of the
relevant Underlying Asset, provided by the Company’s Execution Venue(s). The Execution Venues obtain
prices (BID and ASK prices) of the Underlying Asset for a given CFD from third party reputable external
reference sources (i.e. price feeders). The Execution Venues then use these prices to calculate their own
tradable prices for a given CFD and provide them to the Company.
4.10. The Company obtains the prices from the Execution Venue(s) and then the Company increases the
Spread (i.e. the difference between the BID and ASK prices). So, the prices it quotes to Clients compared
to the prices it obtains from third party external reference sources are higher, as they include a mark-
up.

attorney at any time. The Company reserves the right to offer different spread rates in
accordance with the size of the client's deposit and/or positions. Spread rates may widen at
anytime and especially during market conditions such as central bank decisions, monetary
policy decisions, periods of volatility, periods of low liquidity (ex.: overnight markets), etc..
