1.1 Admiral Products and other Transactions are issued and managed as set out in this document (as amended from time to time). The provisions in this document (as amended from time to time) are referred to as the Account Terms (see the definition inclause 36).
1.2 These Account Terms, encompassing the Application Form, Product Disclosure Statement, Financial Services Guide, this document, Client Suitability Policy, Client Money Policy, Margin Call Policy, Conflicts of Interests Management Policy, PrivacyPolicy and Negative Account Balance Protection Policy (together, the ‘Account Terms’), cover the Account you have with Admiral to manage your Transactions.
1.3 In order to establish your Account, you must send or provide to Admiral your completed and executed Application Form and that must be accepted by Admiral. Admiral may, in its absolute discretion, accept or decline to provide any one or more Admiral Products that you have selected in your Application Form.
1.4 This agreement will apply to you in respect of any type of Account offered by Admiral and all Admiral Products available under that Account that you have selected in the Application Form from the earlier of (a) the time Admiral accepts your Application Form; (b) the time Admiral otherwise agrees to provide the Admiral Products to you; and (c) the time you first place an Order in respect of the Admiral Products with Admiral or otherwise instruct us to provide a service in respect of the Admiral Product.
1.5 Your Application Form may be the initial form you give us to open your Account or it can be another form which you later give us to apply for other kinds of Admiral Products, in either case it will be in the form which we choose to accept. Your forms can be in paper or electronic form, as Admiral permits from time to time.
1.6 Admiral may in its discretion allow you to have two or more Accounts from time to time. A reference in this document to “Account” is a reference to all of the Accounts you have from time to time, unless the context requires a different meaning. For example, all of your Accounts are subject to set-off and netting in accordance with these Account Terms and will not be segregated from each other unless we expressly agree that in writing.
1.7 All Admiral Products offered by Admiral are subject to the Account Terms.
1.8 You should check that you have the latest version of terms applicable to the Admiral Products or service made available to you because that will apply to your Account even if you do not have a copy of them. In other words, if you later choose moreAccounts in order to have available to you more Admiral Products to trade in (if they differ by type of Account), all of the latest Account Terms will apply to them and you cannot later claim you did not have the latest version.
1.9 These Account Terms set out all of your agreement except only for those provisions which are imposed by law and which cannot be excluded by these Account Terms or have not been excluded by these Account Terms.
1.10 Admiral has a number of discretions under these Account Terms (set out in this document) which can affect your Transactions or your Account. You do not have any power to direct how we exercise our discretion. When exercising our discretions we will comply with our legal obligations as the holder of an Australian financial services licence. We will have regard to our policies and to managing all risks (including financial, credit and legal risks) for ourselves and all of our clients, our obligations to out counterparties, market conditions and our reputation. We will always try to act reasonably in exercising our discretions but in doing that we are not obliged to act in your best interests nor are we obliged to avoid or to minimise a loss in your Account.
Important Notice: Please read all of these Account Terms and in particular the provisions dealing with your obligations to maintainMargin cover and to pay Margin calls (clause 16) and limitations on the liability of Admiral to you (clauses 26 and 27).
2.1 You may from time to time place Orders with us to enter into Transactions via the Trading Platform. Orders are not Transactions. They are requests for Transactions. Subject to these Account Terms, we will execute your Orders as principal. We might allow you at times to place Orders by telephone (instead of the Trading Platform), but this is only for emergencies and do not assure you that this will be available at any time or at all. Even if we take your Order by telephone we do not assure you that it can be placed and implemented.
2.2 We will use our reasonable endeavours to execute your Orders. We will not be responsible for delays or errors in the transmission or execution of your Orders (except to the extent that responsibility cannot be excluded by law).
2.3 We may refuse to accept an Order and we may place a limit on any Order or place other conditions on the receipt of instructions or Orders, in our absolute discretion and without giving any reason or any prior notice. We may at any time use, add and change filters within a trading system which prevent delivery of Orders or execution of Orders without giving any reason or any prior notice. We will notify you of any refusal or limitation as soon as reasonably practicable, unless we are prevented by law or a direction from a regulatory authority from notifying you or we decide it is in accordance with our compliance policies and procedures not to notify you at that time or at all.
2.4 Without limiting our discretion, we may cancel or amend an Order in any of the following cases:
2.5 We will make reasonable efforts to effect any instructions to cancel or to amend Orders as quickly as possible. If, however, an Order is filled prior to a cancellation or amendment instruction being effected, you are obliged to accept the Transaction on the original terms of it prior to your amendment or cancellation instruction; unless the Transaction is itself is cancelled or amended.
2.6 We may execute Orders for you even in circumstances if we or our associates:
2.7 Notwithstanding any rule of law or equity to the contrary, Admiral is not disqualified from contracting with any person and no contract, Transaction or arrangement in which Admiral is in any way interested is avoided or rendered voidable by virtue of your agreement with us or a Transaction. Admiral is not liable to account to you for any profit realised by any such contract, Transaction or arrangement in connection with these Account Terms or a Transaction. Admiral is not required to make any disclosure to you concerning any such contract, Transaction or arrangement.
2.8 We, our related bodies corporate and our other associates may enter into Transactions with you as principal. We, our related bodies corporate and our other associates may (and we will by means of our hedge contracts) take the opposite position in a Transaction with you (in addition to the Transaction with you). Your Orders may match opposite Orders of another person who is our client, and this may entitle us to receive fees, charges or commission from them.
2.9 You are aware of and acknowledge the rights of Admiral, its related bodies corporate and their respective directors and employees, either on their own account or on behalf of other clients or persons, to deal in any Transaction or take the opposite position to you in Transactions, if permitted (or, if not expressly permitted, then if not prohibited) to do so by the Corporations Act and the Rules.
2.10 You acknowledge that we do not operate any discretionary accounts and we will, unless otherwise expressly provided by these Account Terms, only act on your Orders (including those given by your Authorised Person).
2.11 Unless otherwise specified in this document, all Orders will remain open until either cancelled by you or purged by the Trading Platform. An Order or unfilled part of an Order will be purged as determined by Admiral without having to notify you of that. Once an Order has partially traded, only the remaining volume can be cancelled and you remain liable for the volume traded. We do not accept responsibility for reinstating lapsed Orders or for contacting you to seek new instructions.
2.12 If an Admiral Product’s security code or other identifier changes, then you are responsible for replacing all live and contingent Order codes with the new relevant security code or identifier. We will not be responsible for any live or contingent Orders with the incorrect security code or identifier.
2.13 You must not instruct us to submit an Order to enter into an Transaction which would breach or cause us or any other person to breach the Corporations Act, the Rules or any other Applicable Laws including, without limitation, any law or the Rules in relation to: (a) market manipulation, false trading, market rigging, fictitious Transactions, wash trading or matching of Orders; (b) insider trading; (c) short selling; (d) creating a disorderly market or otherwise prejudicing the integrity or efficiency of the market; or (e) misleading or deceptive conduct.
2.14 Your Order to Admiral to enter into a Transaction and the Transaction remains valid and enforceable against you, without affecting your other liability to Admiral, even if you (or your Authorised Person) are not authorised by your own rules (such as a corporate or trust constitution or an investment anagement agreement).
2.15 You agree not to make any Claim against Admiral for any Loss incurred or suffered by you which arises in connection with or directly or indirectly caused by an exercise of any power by the operator of a Financial Market (whether or not Admiral has given you a Confirmation in respect of any affected Transaction and whether or not that exercise of power was in relation to a particular contract made by Admiral to hedge its Transaction with you).
3.1 On any Business Day you may request Admiral to quote the rate at which you may enter into a Transaction.
Guidance note: When requesting a price quote for Admiral Products you will see a Bid Price and an Ask Price (collectively ‘the quotes’) being a lower and higher price at which you can place your Order.
3.2 Immediately upon receiving the quote, you may by the Trading Platform give Admiral your Order for Transaction equivalent to that for which the quote was sought. Receipt by Admiral of your instruction will constitute an offer by you to Admiral to enter into such a Transaction.
3.3 Admiral is under no obligation to accept your offer to enter into a Transaction , and without limitation, is not obliged to accept your offer to enter into a Transaction: (a) if you have exceeded or would exceed a limit applying to you as notified by Admiral; or (b) until Admiral has received the Initial Margin required in respect of that Transaction, in cleared funds.
3.4 The Initial Margin required in respect of a Transaction will be payable immediately when Admiral accepts your offer to enter into a Transaction.
3.5 Admiral may, in its absolute discretion, limit the value of Transactions you may have outstanding under these Terms:
3.6 Admiral may vary this limit at any time by notice to you.
4.1 A Finance Charge Adjustment or a Finance Credit Adjustment (as the case may be) will be applied in accordance with clause 14.
4.2 If you are the Long Party to an Equity Derivative, and the issuer of the Underlying Reference Instrument makes a cash distribution in respect of the Underlying Reference Instrument (for example, a dividend in respect of a Underlying Reference Instrument which is a share), Admiral will credit to your Account in respect of the Equity Derivative an equivalent amount (less any Taxes and costs) within a reasonable period following the date the cash distribution is paid in respect of the Underlying Reference Instrument corresponding with your Equity Derivative being the amount that will be equal to the cash dividend payable to the holder of the Underlying Reference Instrument multiplied by the quantity (being the Lot and Contract Size applicable to the Transaction) on the first Business Day following the ex dividend date for the Underlying Reference Instrument. Admiral is not obliged to pay to you any amount under this clause unless and until it receives that amount as the owner of the Underlying Reference Instrument or an equivalent amount under the Hedge Contract acquired in respect of the Equity Derivative. Further, Admiral is not liable to pay to you any amount in excess of the amount (less any Taxes and costs) which Admiral itself receives either as the owner of the Underlying Reference Instrument or pursuant to a Hedge Contract acquired in respect of the Equity Derivative.
4.3 If you are the Short Party to an Equity Derivative, Admiral will debit your Account with an amount that will be equal to the gross (unfranked) cash dividend payable to the holder of the Underlying Reference Instrument multiplied by the quantity (being the Lot and Contract Size applicable to the Transaction) on the first Business Day following the ex dividend date for the Underlying Reference Instrument.
4.4 If the Underlying Reference Instrument on which an Equity Derivative or Indices is issued is subject to an Adjustment Event or possible Adjustment Event, Admiral will determine the adjustment, if any, that will be made to the Contract Value of that Underlying Reference Instrument, the related quantity (being the Lot and Contract Size applicable to the Transaction ) (or both) that would have placed the parties in substantially the same economic position they would have been in had the event not occurred. Admiral will notify you as soon as practicable of the adjustment. In the absence of any manifest error any adjustment determined will be deemed to be conclusive and binding on you.
4.5 Admiral may give you an opportunity to elect to participate in an adjustment to the Equity Derivative which corresponds with the Adjustment Event, but Admiral is not obliged to give you that opportunity, or give reasonable notice of it or make its terms correspond exactly with the Adjustment Event, nor is Admiral obliged to accept in part or at all any election you make to participate. Any adjustment will take effect at the time determined by Admiral.
4.6 If the Underlying Reference Instrument is subject to a take-over offer or similar event, Admiral may at any time prior to the closing date of the offer provide you notice of Admiral’s intention to Close Out the Equity Derivative with the Current Market Price being the price notified to you by Admiral.
4.7 If at any time an Adjustment Event occurs and it is not reasonably practicable as determined by Admiral in its absolute discretion to make an adjustment, then without limiting other rights, Admiral may at any time after the Adjustment Event Close Out the Equity Derivative.
4.8 References to “offer”, “take-over” and “closing date” in the Account Terms have the same meaning given to them in the Corporations Act 2001 from time to time.
5.1 You may at any time give Admiral notice of your request to have all or any of your Open Positions Closed Out via the Trading Platform. (Placing an Order which is opposite your Open Position will not be sufficient to Close Out.) Admiral will as soon as reasonably practical Close Out the Open Positions which you have selected to Close by making a matching and opposite Transaction for each Open Position. Without limiting Admiral’s discretion this may occur as soon as practicable after the later of:
5.2 The difference (if any) between the Contract Values of the matching Transactions if positive, will be a “Realised Profit” and, if negative, will be a “Realised Loss”.
5.3 You acknowledge that if you give Admiral standing instructions via the Trading Platform to enter into a Transaction when a particular price or index level is reached, the actual price at which the Transaction is entered into might not be that exact price or be based on that exact level.
5.4 If the issuer whose financial product represents the Underlying Reference Instrument on which all or part of an Equity Derivative is based becomes externally administered in accordance with the meaning in the Corporations Act (or equivalent legislation), the Equity Derivative will be taken to have been Closed at that time. The Current Market Price of the Equity Derivative will be determined by Admiral who may consider a number of factors it deems appropriate including, for example, the last traded price of the Underlying Reference Instrument.
5.5 If the Underlying Reference Instrument on which the Equity Derivative or Indices is based ceases to be listed for quotation on an Exchange or be published, or for three (3) consecutive Business Days is suspended from quotation, Admiral may, in its absolute discretion, without limiting its other rights, terminate the relevant Equity Derivative or Indices. If Admiral elects to do so then:
5.6 If Admiral determines that the Contract Value of an Equity Derivative or Indices cannot be calculated on or with effect on the Closing Date for any reason, the Contract Value will be the value determined by Admiral in its sole discretion.
5.7 The Closing Out of a Transaction in accordance with these Account Terms will constitute a complete discharge of all obligations of Admiral with respect to that Transaction.
5.8 When a Transaction is Closed Out in accordance with the Account Terms which:
5.9 If you have requested payment of any money permitted to be paid to you under the Account Terms, Admiral will at the time of payment deduct the amount of that payment from your Account.
5.10 Admiral may set off any money owed to you under the Account Terms against any money owed by you in respect of a Transaction. If such a set-off is made, references in the Account Terms to Realised Profit and Realised Loss will be read as including the net amount of Realised Profit or Realised Loss (as the case may be) remaining after the set-off.
6.1 During the term of your Transactions, Admiral will determine the value of your Account, based on the current value of the Admiral Products in your Account defined as your Equity.
6.2 The current value of your Admiral Product positions will be ordinarily marked to market on a continuous basis, using the Current Market Price.
6.3 Your Equity will be used to assess your Free Margin against Open Positions and any potential new positions you take.
6.4 All calculations made by Admiral in good faith for the purposes of these Account Terms in the absence of any manifest error will be binding on you.
7.1 Admiral may accept your authorisation of another person (Authorised Person) to give instructions and place Orders on your behalf. You must notify Admiral in your Application Form or otherwise in writing of any such authorisation, setting out the full name, telephone number, fax number, email address and specimen signature of that person and any other information required by Admiral to identify the Authorised Person.
7.2 Any change or revocation of such authority is only effective upon receipt by Admiral of a signed written notice of change or revocation from you. If another person is later appointed an Authorised Person, the notice must include the full name, telephone number, fax number, email address and specimen signature of that person and be verified by an Authorised Person and any other information required by Admiral to identify the Authorised Person and, if you are a body corporate, by a director.
7.3 You may appoint an attorney (under a power of attorney in the relevant jurisdiction) to give instructions and place orders on your behalf or otherwise to do anything which you are entitled to do in connection with or under these Account Terms. You must notify Admiral in writing of any such appointment setting out the attorney’s details. You must provide Admiral with a written power of attorney; Admiral may accept or reject this power of attorney.
7.4 Admiral may allow a Client which is a corporation or other legal entity to authorise a person (who is by that authorisation an Authorised Person) or an attorney to do anything which the Client is entitled to do under these Account Terms, including on conditions determined by Admiral.
7.5 Admiral may allow any other Client to authorise its Authorised Person or attorney to do anything which the Client is entitled to do under these Account Terms, including on conditions determined by Admiral.
7.6 For the purposes of these Ac*count Terms, Orders placed by, and other instructions or directions given by, an Authorised Person (or which appear to us on the face of the Orders or other instructions or directions to be placed or given by an Authorised Person) are taken to be your Orders, instructions or directions.
7.7 You are and remain solely liable and responsible for all acts and omissions of your Authorised Person notwithstanding the act or omission of the Authorised Person was: (a) outside their actual or ostensible authority; or (b) in error, fraudulent, negligent, in breach of their fiduciary duties or criminal.
7.8 You agree not to make, and you release us from any liability to you under your right to make, any Claim against us for any Loss incurred or suffered by you which arise directly or indirectly due to us relying on instructions from or other communications from or acts or omissions by your Authorised Person (including your attorney).
8.1 You must keep all passwords secret and ensure that unauthorised third parties do not obtain access to your facility for Transactions under these Account Terms.
8.2 Transmission of an Order (or any other instruction) by you will not constitute a binding contract with Admiral until confirmed by Admiral via the Confirmation.
8.3 You must execute, or otherwise authorise Admiral to execute, all such agreements and other documents as required to enable the provision of the services and Admiral Products contemplated in this document. You appoint Admiral as your attorney to do all things necessary to enter into such agreements on your behalf such as accessing databases to confirm your identity.
Guidance note: remember that Admiral only ever acts as principal when it issues an Admiral Product to you. It does not act as youragent when entering into Transactions.
8.4 You also appoint Admiral as your agent to the extent necessary and confer upon Admiral authority to do, or omit to do, all things reasonably necessary to perform Admiral’s functions and all things reasonably incidental to the performance of its functions which it does not otherwise have power to do so (as your attorney or in any other way).
Guidance note: remember that Admiral only ever acts as principal when it issues an Admiral Product to you. It does not act as your agent when entering into Transactions.
9.1 If you have provided Admiral with an email or other electronic address in the Application Form or otherwise in writing and Admiral accepts that, you consent to Confirmations being despatched to it electronically. The Client acknowledges that each Confirmation is subject to the correction of errors and omissions.
9.2 If our service provides Confirmations by accessing a substantially continuously available service, you consent to your Confirmations being available by those means instead of being sent to you.
9.3 You can agree with us, if permitted by Applicable Laws, not to give you a Confirmation or to provide Confirmations to an address or person nominated by you.
9.4 You acknowledge that Admiral may, from time to time, approve an agent to provide the Confirmation and the Confirmation may be a joint Confirmation covering the services of Admiral and of another person from time to time.
9.5 It is your obligation to review any Confirmation we send to you immediately to ensure its accuracy and report any discrepancies that you may have to us within 48 hours. Confirmations being your daily statements can be viewed electronically through the Trading Platform.
10.1 You, the Client, represent and warrant that as at the date of these Account Terms and at all times during these Account Terms:
Guidance note: your Admiral Products do not give any entitlement to any Underlying Reference Instruments but if you trade both Admiral Products and directly into the underlying markets, all of your investments may be taken into account by regulators so we urge you to be aware of and comply with all Applicable Laws for all of your investments.
11. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
11.1 You, the Client, acknowledge and confirm to Admiral for Admiral’s benefit in relying on the following:
12.1 Admiral will act honestly and exercise due care and diligence at all times in its performance of these Account Terms.
12.2 Admiral will use reasonable endeavours to execute or to arrange the execution of your Orders, on these Account Terms.
12.3 Apart from any warranties and representations which are imposed or implied by law and which cannot be excluded, Admiral makes no warranties in relation to any service or information provided or made available to you in connection with these Account Terms. To the full extent permitted by law, Admiral excludes liability for all costs, expenses, damages and Losses (including consequential loss) arising in connection with such services or information, or these Account Terms (including, without limitation, liability for negligence).
13.1 The Client acknowledges and understands that there are risks involved in Transactions, including:
13.2 No advice or recommendation is provided by Admiral in relation to your Transactions unless expressly stated otherwise.
14.1 Any profit or loss net of any fees and charges (that is, the realised gain or loss) arising on Closing Out a Transaction will be credited or debited (as the case may be) against the Equity of your Account, in the Account Currency.
14.2 You must pay to us or as we direct:
Guidance note: this is the rate of interest you pay if you default on making any payment to Admiral. It is not the rate for any Finance Charge Adjustment. Any amount or rate or formula which is to be specified by Admiral may be specified by a PDS, FSG, a supplementary disclosure document or in any other permitted way of notifying you, such as on Admiral’s website. The amount of any fees and charges or other amounts payable by you to Admiral in respect of any Transaction will be set out in the Confirmation of that Transaction to the extent known at the time.
14.3 You agree that Admiral may:
14.4 Admiral may receive commissions and other benefits from other parties in relation to Transactions Admiral enters into with you or on your behalf or in connection with other services provided to you. Admiral is entitled to retain such commissions and benefits.
14.5 If you have been referred to us or on behalf of a broker or other third party, that broker or third party may receive benefits in the form of a commission or rebate from us.
14.6 Unless otherwise agreed, the terms of any amounts payable by you under these Account Terms are stated exclusive of GST. You must pay the GST on the amount charged for the supply of the service, unless that is not permitted by law. Admiral will when required by law and as far as practicable state in Confirmations the amounts as GST-inclusive.
14.7 The amounts of or basis of calculating the fees, commissions and charges referred to in this clause 14 will be as notified from time to time in writing by Admiral, either by way of a PDS, postings on the Trading Platform, notification to your contact address, posting to Admiral’s website or as otherwise agreed with you or permitted by these Account Terms.
14.8 If:
14.9 You must reimburse Admiral for all fees (both direct and indirect) and expenses charged in connection with any Transaction (other than Tax on the income of Admiral) and for all costs and expenses incurred by Admiral in implementing these Account Terms and in enforcing its rights under these Account Terms (including its legal costs of external or internal legal advisers on a full indemnity basis).
14.10 Open Positions held Overnight will be charged a Finance Charge Adjustment or will be entitled to receive a Finance Credit Adjustment as determined by Admiral on an Account at any time chosen by Admiral, such as (without limitation):
The calculation for an Overnight Finance Charge Adjustment or Finance Credit Adjustment for FX Products and Metal Products is as follows:
F = S * L * P
Where:
F = Daily Finance Charge (negative)/Finance Credit (positive)
S = Swap Rate (positive or negative)
L = Number of Lots
P = Pip Value in Account Currency based on 1 Lot
The calculation for an Overnight Finance Charge Adjustment or Finance Credit Adjustment for Equity Derivatives and Indices is as follows:
F = CV x (FR/100)/360
Where:
F = Daily Finance Charge (negative)/Finance Credit (positive)
CV = Contract Value of the Equity Derivative and Indices Open Positions, at the time the Equity Derivative or Indices is established
FR = the Finance Rate.
14.11 You remain liable to pay the Finance Charge Adjustment even though:
14.12 You acknowledge that you are responsible for your own legal costs associated with entering into these Account Terms and for all Taxes and expenses incurred by you in connection with these Account Terms, including any Transaction made under it.
14.13 All payments by you under these Account Terms are:
14.14 If there has been no trading activity on (any of) your trading Account(s) for a period of 24 months (effective from the last trade and starting the day thereafter), an inactivity fee as specified in our price list will be imposed. The fee will be deducted on a monthly basis on any positive balance of your trading Account(s). The fee will be imposed on each and every separate inactive trading Account. To be clear, the fee(s) will be deducted on an account basis and not on a customer basis. Before starting to deduct the fee(s) from your balance(s), Admiral will make reasonable attempts to contact you regardingany funds held in your trading Account(s) to inform that the fee(s) will be imposed. It is your responsibility to keep your contact details, that you have shared with Admiral, up to date at all times. Admiral will not charge your inactive trading account(s) if they do not have a positive balance. Your trading account balance will not go below zero. However, if the positive balance is less than the monthly inactivity fee, Admiral will deduct the full remaining amount of funds held in your trading account(s) balance. All trading accounts that have been inactive more than 24 months and has or reaches a balance of zero, will be archived. Should the you choose to reactivate your trading account by trading again, the inactivity fee for up to three previous months where there has already been a deduction will be refunded to your Account. Should you qualify for any of the said refund(s) it will be made on an account basis.
14.15 Admiral will give notice to you of any change in its fees and charges or other amounts payable by these Account Terms in accordance with Applicable Laws except rates will change at any time, as available via the Trading Platform 1.
14.16 If GST is payable on a taxable supply made by Admiral under, by reference to, or in connection with these Account Terms, you must also pay the amount of GST payable in respect of that taxable supply. This clause does not apply to the extent that consideration for a supply is expressly stated to you to be GST inclusive. Terms which have a defined meaning in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 have that meaning in this document.
15.1 Admiral must deal with any money and property which you pay or give to, or which is otherwise received by Admiral in connection with financial services provided by Admiral, in accordance with the Applicable Laws. For example, Admiral may be required to pay such moneys into the Admiral Trust Account which complies with the requirements of the Corporations Act. You acknowledge and authorise that:
15.2 If Admiral pays your funds to another person at your request, Admiral is not liable to you for the performance by the other person who receives the benefit of the payment of your funds. In particular, without limitation, Admiral is not obliged to enquire into:
15.3 You agree that Admiral is entitled to all interest earned on moneys credited to any Admiral Trust Account unless you and Admiral have otherwise agreed in writing.
15.4 The moneys to which you are entitled under these Account Terms and which are under the control of Admiral will be paid directly to you and not to any third party, unless you have otherwise instructed us to do so and we agree. You must provide relevant account details for payment instructions in respect of payments to be made by Admiral to you. Although Admiral will take reasonable steps to comply with your payment instructions, Admiral accepts no responsibility for any failure to comply with those instructions and, if such failure occurs, the relevant moneys will continue to be held by Admiral in accordance with the Corporations Act and Applicable Laws.
15.5 You authorise and direct Admiral to withdraw any or all moneys to which you are otherwise entitled in any Admiral Trust Account maintained by Admiral to meet any liability, obligation or other Loss which you owe to Admiral including to pay for your Admiral Products (including payment for Margin) or to pay any other person you have dealt with using Admiral as your agent.
15.6 You authorise and direct Admiral to withdraw realised and unrealised profits you are otherwise entitled to in any Admiral Trust Account where you have requested Negative Account Balance Policy relief and Admiral had decided to exercise its right to extend such relief.
15.7 You authorise and direct Admiral to withdraw any or all moneys to which you are otherwise entitled in the Admiral Trust Account for the purposes of depositing such moneys into the wholesale client trust account in the event you are reclassified by Admiral as a wholesale client.
15.8 You acknowledge that Admiral is entitled to be paid from those moneys to which you are otherwise entitled in any Admiral Trust Account maintained by Admiral an amount sufficient to meet any liability, obligation or other Loss which you owe to Admiral.
15.9 If you pay moneys into any Admiral Trust Account maintained by Admiral in anticipation of you creating and meeting any liability, obligation or other Loss which you will owe to Admiral including to pay for your Admiral Products (including payment for Margin), by these Account Terms you authorise and direct Admiral to withdraw those moneys to pay Admiral in advance of that liability arising. Your payment into the Admiral Trust Account will be deemed to be subject to this direction unless you tell Admiral otherwise. You agree that these Account Terms are a sufficient written direction by you for the purposes of authorising and directing Admiral to make the withdrawal on these Account Terms; subject to any other written direction you give Admiral from time to time.
15.10 All currency exchange risks regarding any payment instruction or any Order or Transaction entered into or arranged for you by Admiral is your responsibility. Any conversion from one currency to another required to be made for performing or executing any payment instruction, Order or Transaction may be effected by Admiral in the manner and at the time and at the exchange rates that Admiral, in its absolute discretion, decides.

legal_uk::AccountTermsASIC.au-legal-at-p-16-2
16.3 Admiral may (without notice to you) Close Out, but will not be obliged to Close Out or to attempt to Close Out, some or all Open Positions, at that time or any later time as Admiral determines (whether in its discretion or by automatic trading platform management) if:
