Clients are responsible for depositing and withdrawing funds directly through their selected broker. Full control of all trading capital remains with the client at all times.

4. Risk Disclosure & No Guarantee of Profits

By engaging with Arcstone Technologies, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

  • Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Clients are fully responsible for their trading decisions, including deposits, withdrawals, leverage, and risk management.

5. Client Responsibilities & Acknowledgements

  • Clients must be at least 18 years old and comply with the laws in their jurisdiction.

  • Clients retain full responsibility for their accounts and trading outcomes.

  • Clients must review and agree to the terms set by their chosen broker (e.g., BlackBull Markets).

6. Account Control & Responsibility

Who controls the trading account?

  • Clients maintain 100% control of their trading accounts.

  • Arcstone Technologies does not access or handle client funds.

  • All account transactions (deposits and withdrawals) are the client’s responsibility.

What if I incur losses?

  • Clients accept full liability for any trading losses.

  • Arcstone Technologies is not liable for losses due to market fluctuations, software issues, or broker performance.

7. Hosting & Performance Fees

Hosting Fee:

  • A one-time setup fee of £20.00 GBP is required to connect your trading account to our system. Ongoing hosting is funded via profits and does not require separate payments.

Performance Fee Structure:

  • A 30% performance fee is applied to net profits.

  • If no profits are generated, no performance fee is due.

  • This fee model may change with prior notice.

Performance Fee Payments:

1. Payment Obligation

All performance fee payments must be made in full within the allocated time window as outlined in the client agreement or communicated invoicing schedule. Timely settlement is essential to maintain active service.

2. Grace Period

A grace period of 24 hours beyond the original payment window will be permitted. This extension is provided solely for administrative flexibility and does not constitute a change to the original due date.

3. Late Payment Consequences

If payment is not received within the 24-hour grace period, a late fee of 3% will be applied to the outstanding amount. Continued access to services may also be restricted at Arcstone’s discretion.

4. Permanent Disconnection

Failure to remit full payment within 72 hours of the original due date will result in permanent disconnection from all services and removal from associated platforms. Reinstatement will not be offered under any circumstances.

5. Repeated Late Payments

Clients who are late on two or more occasions within a rolling 6-month period will be subject to immediate termination of services at Arcstone’s sole discretion, with no obligation to re-engage.

6. Communication

Clients are expected to proactively communicate any issues or anticipated delays prior to the due date. Failure to do so will be treated as non-compliance.

8. Risk & Capital Protection Policy

Arcstone Technologies adheres to a structured risk model, capping risk exposure at 30% of deposited capital. This model ensures clients retain a minimum of 70% of their initial capital at all times.

8.1 Performance Fee Eligibility

Arcstone Technologies operates on a month-to-month billing cycle. A 30% performance fee is chargeable only when the following conditions are met:

  • The account is in net profit relative to the original deposit.

  • The account is within a 30% drawdown from its highest recorded balance.

8.2 Risk Threshold Compliance Example

  • Initial Deposit: £2,500

  • Month 1: 15% profit = £375 → Account balance = £2,875

    • Billed 30% of £375 = £112.50

  • Month 2: 15% profit on £2,875 = £431.25 → Account balance = £3,306.25

    • Billed 30% of £431.25 = £129.38

  • Month 3: 30% loss on £3,306.25 = £991.88 loss → Account balance = £2,314.38

    • Still within 30% of original deposit (£750 max loss) → No billing, as there's no profit

  • Month 4: New profit of £200 → Account balance = £2,514.38

    • Only £14 of this is above the initial deposit → Billed 30% of £14 = £4.20

This monthly model allows billing on any new, unbilled profits above the original deposit, provided risk exposure remains within the agreed limits.

8.3 Billing Pause for Excessive Drawdown

If an account falls below the 30% drawdown threshold from its highest balance, billing is paused. Billing resumes once the account recovers to within 30% of the peak and generates net profit again.

8.4 Client Acknowledgement

By using Arcstone Technologies’ services, clients agree that:

  • The 30% risk cap is understood and accepted but in case of a black swan event could be exceeded

  • Fees are billed monthly on net profits above the initial deposit, within risk limits.

  • Billing is paused during drawdowns exceeding 30% from the highest recorded balance.
