ARTICLE 5. | GENERAL CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS
The Client must provide Growth One with all information that is reasonably relevant to the set-up and implementation of the Agreement, including as stipulated in these general terms and conditions, in a timely manner, completely and in any manner indicated by Growth One. The Client guarantees the correctness of all information provided by it to Growth One. Growth One is never liable for damage caused by relying on incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Client.
ARTICLE 6. | GROWTH ONE
- It is solely the responsibility of the client to ensure they fully understand the nature of any investment or product offered by Growth One. Clients must independently evaluate whether the product aligns with their financial objectives, risk tolerance, and investment knowledge. In some cases, brokers or Growth One may operate outside the client’s jurisdiction. It is the client’s exclusive responsibility to verify whether such products are suitable for their circumstances and to conduct due diligence on all associated risks. Growth One does not provide any recommendations or guarantees regarding the suitability or performance of any investment.
- Within the framework of Growth One, trades on the foreign exchange market are managed and monitored using software made available by Growth One. In the context of Growth One, the Client must have an account with an external broker. Under the Client's account with the broker, the Client must create an MT5 account. The Client must instruct the broker to link its MT5 account to Growth One's PAMM. The client can never send money into Growth One's bank account. Growth One does not accept direct investments. We only offer our copy service within the external broker.
- The Client must keep his login details for access to his broker account secret. Growth One does not ask for these credentials; Growth One merely asks the client to link its MT5 account to Growth One's PAMM. From that moment on, the Client will start taking over Growth One's trades.
- The Client's (MT5) account with the broker is made available to the Client under the terms and conditions applied by the broker. Growth One is not a party to these commitments and does not accept any liability with regard to errors and shortcomings of the broker.

- In the context of managing trades using Growth Ones copy-trading software, the risk can be seen as high. Growth One's copy-trading software trades with the balance deposited by the Client in its broker account. The Client independently manages his money available under his broker account and, subject to the conditions of the broker, is always able to pay out or increase his balance, after the lock-up period has ended. It is the Client's own responsibility never to risk more money than it can lose. Growth One is not a bank, intermediary, asset manager or financial advisor. Growth One only makes the copy-trading software available to achieve returns. The returns indicated in the assignment agreement or otherwise by Growth One are by no means a guarantee, but only a rough expectation based on past results. Return is therefore never guaranteed and Growth One never accepts any liability with regard to failure to achieve return or loss of investment. The client can lose 100% of its balance.
- Trades with Growth One's copy-trading software are automatically managed. The Client may at any time, after the lock-up period of 12 months after it's first investment - request its broker to disconnect the copy-trading software from its MT5 account. Such requests are followed up by the broker within a reasonable time. Growth One never commits itself to a specific deadline in this respect and is never liable for any (additional) loss suffered by the Client between the time of submitting the disconnection request and the actual disconnection.
- The Client owes the expressly agreed In Writing percentage as a performance fee on any profit it has made with the aid of Growth One's copy-trading software. The performance fee is calculated daily by comparing the balance of 24 hours ago with the balance on the day of invoicing. If there is a positive difference and therefore profit, this is attributed to the use of Growth One's copy-trading software, which amount is taken into account for determining the performance fee. Unless expressly agreed otherwise In Writing, the performance fee must be paid by the Client by bank transfer, on the understanding that Growth One reserves the right to agree with the relevant broker to settle the performance fee with the Client's balance under his broker account.
- The Client is prohibited from using the linked MT5 account for any purpose other than in connection with Growth One's linked copy-trading software. In particular, the Client is prohibited from trading manually via the linked MT5 account, failing which Growth One is entitled to invoke the provisions of Article 12.
- The Agreement regarding Growth One can be canceled by the Customer with immediate effect by e-mail to support@growthone.fund. A cancellation will be confirmed by Growth One by e-mail as soon as possible. The performance fee is calculated on the day of cancellation, after which this fee is charged.

- Trading on the foreign exchange market is done using leverage. Working with leverage is risky. It is the Client's own responsibility to investigate how trading with leverage works and what risks are involved. At all times there is a risk that the Customer will lose his entire investment.

If Growth One should be held liable by third parties on that basis, the Client is obliged to assist Growth One both in and out of court and to immediately do everything that may reasonably be expected of it in that case.

If the Agreement is terminated for whatever reason, this right will lapse with immediate effect.
