SECTION A – Our Relationship With You

Thank you for choosing Trading Technologies International, Inc. (“TT”, “we”, “us”, and “our”). TT is part of the TT Group, a group of companies operating globally that, together, offer a financial services platform for execution and order management and other related services.

We, or other members of the TT Group from time to time, will provide you with the Services you have selected, under separate Commercial Schedules which form part of this Agreement. A summary of the main Services available to you and the relevant service provider within the TT Group is set out below. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and additional Services may be offered from time to time. The Fees applicable to the Services will be set out in the TT Pricing List and Section D (Special Commercial Terms).

  1. Sections and Documents Forming Our Relationship with You
    1. This Master Services Agreement with you is comprised of the following sections and documentation (together, the “Agreement”):
      1. SECTION A (Our Relationship with You) which provides an overview of this Agreement and sets out the key information about how our relationship will be managed;

      4. SECTION D (Special Commercial Terms) which sets out any applicable special commercial terms governing our relationship with you, including any Commercial Schedules agreed between us;
      5. the Service Schedules which govern your use of the various Services provided by us or other members of the TT Group;
      6. any Addendum agreed between you and us;
      7. any application form or declaration completed by you for any of the Services and/or services provided by a Service Partner;

    2. We, or other members of the TT Group, will provide you with certain Services under separate Commercial Schedules. Each Commercial Schedule will be a separate agreement that incorporates some or all of the terms of this Agreement and is between you, or an Affiliate of yours, and the relevant member of the TT Group that enters into the relevant Commercial Schedule. The applicable parties for each Commercial Schedule are as set out in the table in Section D, or, in the case of one of your Affiliates, agreed between you and us in writing during your onboarding process. As applied to a Commercial Schedule, subsequent references in this Agreement to: (1) “TT”, “we”, “us”, and “our” will be deemed references (as applicable) to the member of the TT Group that entered into the relevant Commercial Schedule, and (2) “you”, “your”, “yours”, and “Customer” will be deemed references (as applicable) to you or an Affiliate of yours that entered into the relevant Commercial Schedule. Only that member of the TT Group that entered into the Commercial Schedule will be liable to you under that Commercial Schedule. Where you and any Affiliate(s) of yours enter into separate Commercial Schedules, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or party under this Agreement and any applicable Commercial Schedules shall be joint and several, including payment obligations. In the event an Affiliate and TT enter into a Commercial Schedule, we will invoice the Affiliate directly where agreed, but any payment obligation shall remain your and your Affiliate’s joint and several obligation(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Commercial Schedule, in no event will any member of the TT Group be deemed to be a guarantor of, or otherwise liable for, any obligation of any other member of the TT Group (unless otherwise agreed in writing between you and us).
    3. If there is any inconsistency between any term or condition set out in this Agreement, the sections shall apply in the following order of precedence: Section D (if applicable), the Service Schedules, any Addendum and our Data Protection Addendum equally, Section B, Section A, the Policies and lastly, any other Section of this Agreement, as updated from time to time.
    4. Should you wish to retain a copy of this Agreement, your appointed TT account manager will provide you with a copy upon request.
  2. MSA structure and group contracting

    2. Any Customer Affiliate may enter into Commercial Schedules directly with us by following the process set out in this section II and otherwise on the terms of this Agreement (subject to any localizations to reflect local Laws applicable to that Affiliate if agreed by TT).
    3. If an Affiliate wishes to use or access the Services, or obtain any other services from us, that Affiliate:
      1. will prepare and submit a draft Commercial Schedule in respect of the relevant Services; or
      2. request us to prepare and submit a draft Commercial Schedule in respect of the relevant Services to that Affiliate.
    4. When a Commercial Schedule has been agreed by the parties, the parties will execute the draft Commercial Schedule and it will then form a separate agreement between the parties identified in the Commercial Schedule. Each executed Schedule will incorporate by reference:
      1. the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including all attachments, schedules, appendices and annexures (with all necessary changes as to detail, including that all references to ‘Agreement’ in these terms and conditions will be considered references to the relevant Commercial Schedule); and
      2. the terms and conditions of the Commercial Schedule (including all attachments, schedules, appendices and annexures to that Commercial Schedule).
    5. For the purposes of a Commercial Schedule entered into in accordance with this section II, a reference to you, your or yours shall be considered a reference to the relevant Affiliate that has entered into that relevant Commercial Schedule.
    6. We are not obliged to provide services under this Agreement, and you are not obliged to pay any Fees in respect of services under this Agreement, unless and until a Commercial Schedule has been executed by the parties in respect of such Services.

    2. Price Restriction. You shall not charge your Clients more than the lesser of the Fees under any applicable Commercial Schedule or our Standard Fees when enabling access to the Services, distributing or selling them to you Users or Clients, including without limitation charging per User if the amount charged to you for such Service has been capped as a result of a User or usage limitation being met. You acknowledge that our Standard Fees are fixed and non-negotiable, and any attempt to raise the price when enabling access to the Services, distributing or selling the Services to your Users or Clients will be considered a breach of this contract. We reserve the right to terminate this contract and pursue legal remedies for any breach of this provision by you. This price restriction shall remain in effect for the duration of this contract and any renewals or extensions thereof, unless modified by written agreement of both Parties.
    3. You agree and understand that we have the right to offset any amount owed by you to us or a TT Affiliate, against any amount owed by us or a TT Affiliate to you. This right may be exercised by us at any time and without notice to you.
    4. We will invoice you for the Fees monthly in arrears for each of the Services unless otherwise set out in the relevant Service Schedule or Section D (as applicable). You will pay us the Fees and charges specified in such invoices in accordance with the terms of such invoices in US dollars, unless there is a different currency specified in such invoices. If payment is not received within thirty (30) days after the date of such invoice, you will be in material breach of this Agreement and you shall pay an interest rate on the outstanding amount of each invoice equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. The date of each invoice shall be the date such invoice is sent electronically by us to you. You must provide us with written notice of any disputes over invoices or any Fees within six (6) months of the invoice date. We reserve the right to any other remedies we may have as a result of your default in payment to us.
    5. We have partnered up with Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) to help our customers execute online payment transactions when using our Services. By using this feature, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, available at https://stripe.com/connect/account-terms. This may be updated from time to time. Stripe may not support all payment methods, currencies or locations, and is solely responsible for its performance of card processing and their related services. In the event your initiated payment via Stripe’s services is declined or otherwise fails to complete, we reserve the right to seek payment from you via or outside Stripe’s services. Any authorization you provide to make repeating automatic payments using Stripe’s services will remain in effect until cancelled. By providing your banking, credit/debit card, or other payment information to us, you authorize us to use such information and disclose it to Stripe or such other payment gateway providers for processing the payments authorized by you via Stripe’s services. Payment gateway providers may also aggregate your information for other purposes, but only in ways that do not identify you or disclose any personal information about you, and may disclose your personal information when necessary to comply with the Applicable Law. You acknowledge that the use of Stripe is independent of us and our Services, and we have no control over it, and accordingly, we are not responsible or liable for your use, ability or inability to use Stripe, or any of Stripe’s content.
    6. We may change our Fees by providing you with ninety (90) days’ written notice before the effective date of such change (unless otherwise stated in a relevant Service Schedule or Section D (as applicable)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, we also reserve the right to increase our Fees annually by an amount equal to the greater of the average percent increase in the Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) over the prior twelve (12) month period or four percent (4%).
    7. Where you have agreed to receive certain Services for a fixed term (as specified in the relevant Service Schedule or Section D), if no updated Fees are agreed between the parties prior to the expiry of the relevant fixed term for those Services and before the start of any applicable automatic renewal term, we will charge you based on our then current Fee rates for the relevant Services (as set out in the TT Pricing List).
    8. You will also be responsible for payment of any reasonable Fees and charges incurred by us arising from, in connection with or as a result of information requests, investigations and/or suspension or termination of the Services caused by your actions or inactions, upon production of an invoice from us to you.
    9. Our Fees are not inclusive of any taxes. We are both responsible for determining and paying each our respective taxes and submitting the required information to our respective local authorities. If you are required to pay any withholding tax, charge or levy in respect of any payments due to us under this Agreement, you agree to gross up payments actually made such that we shall receive sums due hereunder in full and free of any deduction for any such withholding tax, charge or levy. You will also provide us upon our request with a certificate for any such withholding, acceptable to the appropriate taxing authority.
  3. Amendments
    1. Except where expressly provided for otherwise in this Agreement (and excluding the Platform Documentation which is subject to a separate change procedure set out therein):
      1. this Agreement will not be amended or varied in any way unless such variation or amendment is agreed in writing and signed by each of the parties (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld where changes are required to comply with Applicable Laws and any direction or requirement of a Regulatory Authority); and
      2. we may make changes to our Services from time to time, including without limitation, adding, altering, deprecating or otherwise changing any aspect of our Services. Where the changes are material, we will inform you of said changes if you have subscribed with us to be informed about such change. However, we may not inform you in advance of any changes we make that are operationally or technically critical for us to maintain continuation of the Services, including emergency maintenance, or that do not require a material change to your systems and are otherwise a minor enhancement to the usability of the TT Platform or enhancements to the reliability or performance of the TT Platform, or the Services.
    2. We may from time to time add additional Services and/or features and enhancements to existing Services. If you choose to use a new Service and/or new feature or enhancement (subject to any applicable Fees), then the effective date of the new Service and/or new feature or enhancement shall be the date that you first use the new Service and/or new feature or enhancement.
  4. Suspension Of Services
    1. We may immediately suspend some or all of the Services, including access to the TT Platform, should we consider it necessary or appropriate to do so, where:

      10. we reasonably conclude that your financial position has deteriorated to the extent that you may not be able to fulfil your obligations under this Agreement, or that may affect our ability to fulfil our obligations under the Agreement.

      1. we will not be liable for any Losses that you suffer as a result of such suspension, subject to section 11;

If the arbitrator determines that attendance in person would be unduly burdensome, the arbitration may be conducted, in whole or in part, by video conference.

The language of the arbitration will be English.
      5. In addition to the power to grant monetary relief, the arbitrator shall have the power to grant any other remedy or relief available under United States law or Illinois law, whether provisional or final, including but not limited to preliminary or conservatory injunctive relief, and any such measures ordered by the arbitrator will be enforceable to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
      6. All costs and expenses of the arbitral tribunal and of the arbitral institution shall be borne by the parties equally. Each party shall bear all costs and expenses (including of its own counsel, experts and witnesses) involved in preparing and presenting its case.
      7. The award in any arbitration shall be rendered within twelve (12) months of the commencement of the arbitration, unless the parties agree to a longer period of time for the arbitration, or the arbitrator determines that the interest of justice or the complexity of the case requires that this limit be extended.
      8. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
      9. In the event that the foregoing binding arbitration provision is determined for any reason to be unenforceable or inapplicable to a particular dispute, that dispute shall be resolved exclusively in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in Cook County, Illinois. The parties submit to the in personal jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of any such action or proceeding and waive any argument that such venue is an inconvenient forum.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either party may disclose matters relating to the arbitration or the arbitral proceedings where necessary for the preparation or presentation of a claim or defense in the arbitration.
      11. Any proceedings to confirm or vacate an arbitration award will be governed, whenever possible, by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its choice of law provisions.

      12. Each party retains the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional and/or conservatory relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in this Agreement.
