These services primarily facilitate simulated proprietary trading and related tools. These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern the legal relationship between Us and Our users (“Customer,” “User,” “You,” or “Your”) when You access the Site, use the Services, or interact with Us in any manner.

These Terms define the entirety of Our relationship with You. We may amend these Terms at Our sole discretion, with changes effective immediately upon posting on the Site. It is Your responsibility to review these Terms before each use of the Services. As part of Our ongoing enhancement of the Services, We may add or remove features, introduce new offerings, or discontinue existing ones to: (i) adapt to technological advancements; (ii) respond to user demand shifts; (iii) align with third-party agreements; (iv) prevent abuse or harm; or (v) comply with legal, regulatory, safety, or security requirements.

BY REGISTERING, CLICKING “I AGREE,” “ACCEPT,” OR SIMILAR, OR BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU OR THE ENTITY YOU REPRESENT ARE ENTERING A LEGAL AGREEMENT WITH US, HAVE UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, INCLUDING OUR PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PROVISION HEREIN, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE USING THE SERVICES.

SECTION A: PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS

A1. Scope and Parties
These Terms regulate Your rights and obligations when utilizing Services provided by Spiceprop SL LTD, registered at Rodney Court Building, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, and its affiliates, SpiceProp HK Limited (7/F MW Tower, 111 Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong) and SpiceProp SRO (Bucharova 2657/12, 158 00 Prague, Czech Republic), acting as payment facilitators.

A2. Agreement Formation
Registering on the Site or initiating Service use (if registration is not required) establishes a contract with Us for Your selected Services. These Terms form an integral part of this contract, and Your engagement signifies acceptance.

A3. Eligibility Criteria
Services are available only to individuals aged 18 or older (or the legal age in Your jurisdiction, if higher), residing in regions where the Services are permitted. By registering, You confirm Your eligibility. You may not use the Services if under 18 or from a Forbidden Territory (defined in Section R). You are responsible for ensuring Your use complies with local laws.

A4. Restricted Users
We will not provide Services to Users who: (i) are citizens of or reside in Forbidden Territories; (ii) are incorporated or registered therein; (iii) are subject to a Sanctions Regime; or (iv) have a criminal record tied to financial crimes or terrorism. We may refuse or terminate Services to such Users, barring access to the User Portal and Trading Platform.

A5. Nature of Services
The Services offer simulated trading tools for the FOREX market and other instruments, alongside analytical resources, educational content, and access to the User Portal. Trades are simulated using real market data but are not executed in reality. Demo funds are fictitious, non-withdrawable, and limited to Service use. No profits or losses from simulated trading are payable unless explicitly agreed.

A6. No Investment Services
Our Services are not investment services under applicable law. We provide no trading advice or recommendations, and Our staff are not authorized to do so. Any perceived advice is disclaimed, and We bear no liability therefor.

A7. AML and KYC/KYB Compliance
We adhere to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer/Business (KYC/KYB) policies. You may undergo identity verification, including submission of government-issued ID, particularly before becoming a Funded User. We may use third-party data to assess risks and reserve the right to restrict previously approved accounts based on updated policies.

A8. Sanctions Compliance
Services are unavailable where prohibited by a Sanctions Regime (defined in Section R). You confirm Your use is lawful in Your jurisdiction, accepting all compliance risks.

A9. Prohibition of VPS/VPN During KYC Verification
The use of Virtual Private Servers (VPS), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), or similar services that obscure Your true location or identity is strictly forbidden during the KYC/KYB verification process. Detection of such use may result in immediate account closure without refund, as it undermines Our ability to verify Your identity and comply with AML regulations.

E6.1. The use of the same device or IP address by multiple Customers is strictly prohibited unless explicitly pre-approved by SpiceProp.
