Data protection information according to Art. 13 DSGVO

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Powertradingglobal PTG. The use of the Internet pages of the Powertradingglobal PTG is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Powertradingglobal PTG. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, the Powertradingglobal PTG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

3. cookies
The Internet pages of the Powertradingglobal PTG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Powertradingglobal PTG can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping basket in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. collection of general data and information
The website of the Powertradingglobal PTG collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Powertradingglobal PTG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Powertradingglobal PTG analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. registration on our website
The data subject has the option of registering on the controller's website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for the controller's own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate criminal offenses committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or it serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. All of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

6. subscription to our newsletter
On the website of the Powertradingglobal PTG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.
The Powertradingglobal PTG informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as legal protection for the controller.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller's website or to inform the controller of this in another way.

7. newsletter tracking
The Powertradingglobal PTG newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Powertradingglobal PTG may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Powertradingglobal PTG automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

8. contact possibility via the website
The website of the Powertradingglobal PTG contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

9. comment function in the blog on the website
The Powertradingglobal PTG offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal on a website, usually open to the public, in which one or more people, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, information on the time of the comment entry and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject are stored and published in addition to the comments left by the data subject. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content by posting a comment. This personal data is therefore stored in the controller's own interest so that the controller can exculpate itself in the event of an infringement. The personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

10 Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

Google+ allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Google+ button from Google through the respective Google+ button. As part of this technical process, Google receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.
If the data subject clicks on one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thereby makes a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the data subject's Google+1 recommendation and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. A Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website is subsequently stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in this account in other Google services, for example the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements.

Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, which are used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject's IT system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online store system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has reached our website via an AdWords ad has generated sales, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visitor statistics for our website. These visitor statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

LinkedIn SlideShare provides so-called embed codes for the media content stored there (presentations, PDF files, videos, photos, etc.). Embed codes are program codes that are embedded in websites with the aim of displaying external content on your own website. Embed codes make it possible to display content on your own website without storing it on your own server and possibly infringing the reproduction rights of the respective author of the content. A further advantage of using an embed code is that the respective operator of a website does not use their own storage space and their own server is relieved as a result. An embed code can be integrated at any point on another website so that external content can also be inserted within your own text. The purpose of using LinkedIn SlideShare is to reduce the load on our server and to avoid copyright infringements when using third-party content at the same time.

Each time you visit our website, which is equipped with a SlideShare component (embed codes), this component causes the browser you are using to download the corresponding embedded data from SlideShare.

60th payment method: Privacy policy for Skrill as a payment method
The controller has integrated Skrill components on this website. Skrill is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via the Skrill wallet, which is a virtual electronic wallet. Skrill also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards. A Skrill wallet is managed via an e-mail address. Skrill makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments.
The operating company of Skrill is Skrill Limited, 25 Canada Square, London E14 5LQ, United Kingdom.
If the data subject selects "Skrill" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online store, the data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to Skrill. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data exchanged with Skrill is the purchase amount and the e-mail address required for payment processing. The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The controller will also transfer other personal data to Skrill if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between Skrill and the controller may be transmitted by Skrill to credit reference agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to check identity and creditworthiness.
Skrill may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of Skrill.
The data subject has the option of withdrawing consent to the handling of personal data from Skrill at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of Skrill may be retrieved under https://www.skrill.com/de/fusszeile/datenschutzbestimmungen/.

61. payment method: data protection provisions on instant bank transfer as a payment method
The controller has integrated Sofortüberweisung components on this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment of products and services on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung is a technical procedure through which the online merchant immediately receives a payment confirmation. This enables a merchant to deliver goods, services or downloads to the customer immediately after the order has been placed.
The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.
If the data subject selects "Sofortüberweisung" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online store, the data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.
When making a purchase via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online merchant after technically checking the account balance and retrieving further data to check the account coverage. The online merchant is then automatically notified that the financial transaction has been carried out.
The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung is first name, surname, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number or other data necessary for payment processing. The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The controller will also transmit other personal data to Sofortüberweisung if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the controller may be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to credit reference agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to check identity and creditworthiness.

Sofortüberweisung may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of Sofortüberweisung, and the data subject has the option of revoking their consent to the handling of personal data at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. The applicable data protection provisions of Sofortüberweisung can be found at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/datenschutz/.

62. legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

63. legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

64. duration for which the personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

65. legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision.
We will inform you whether the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

66. existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Developed by the Efficiency Tech specialists at Willing & Able, who also developed the system for data protection-compliant working time recording. The texts of the data protection declaration generator were created and published by Prof. Dr. h.c. Heiko Jonny Maniero and lawyer Christian Solmecke.

I Important principles and assumptions:
Although we take measures to prevent access by EU citizens, we do not have complete control over who visits our platform. However, should regulatory authorities raise concerns, we are prepared to respond constructively and, if necessary, make adjustments in accordance with the regulations of the respective country.
Our service is explicitly not aimed at citizens of the European Union. According to the applicable regulations, there is no obligation for us to be in possession of an EU license as long as EU citizens are not specifically targeted. This is emphasized by clear notices on our platform indicating that the offer is not intended for EU citizens.
Since Brexit, companies based in the UK no longer require licenses for services provided outside the UK. As our company is based in the UK and its services are not directed at UK citizens, they are not served on our platform by our UK company. Consequently, no UK license is required for our activities.

II Automatic contract activation and scope of application
The contract applies to citizens of all jurisdictions, including all EU countries. Exceptions are citizens of the United Kingdom (UK) and countries that are expressly listed as prohibited.
An investment in our PAMM accounts or copy trading automatically activates the associated contract. Additional confirmation of the contract activation from our side is not required.
The contractual status and the applicable law are those of the United Kingdom (UK). Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom.

III Amendment of the GTC and other provisions
Consent to the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) is given by using our services. Customers who do not agree with a change to the GTC during the term of the contract have the right to extraordinary termination within the first 45 days after notification of the change.
Our aim is to formulate our GTC clearly and coherently. If customers identify any inconsistencies or ambiguities, we ask to be notified and are given the opportunity to revise them before legal action is taken.
In the event of ambiguities in the GTC, every customer is obliged to obtain clarification in an official manner before using our services and thus before agreeing to the GTC. If this is not done, any ambiguities will be interpreted to the disadvantage of the customer and not to our disadvantage.
Our terms and conditions are readily available in accordance with European standards and can be found in the footer of our website.
Customers who wish to be notified individually of changes must request this by sending an email to info@powertradingglobal.com. We assume that we do not have to research the contact details of our customers independently on the Internet and that the broker associated with the customer is subject to its own data protection provisions. Acceptance of these provisions takes place directly between the customer and the broker. Any liability on our part in connection with the broker's data protection provisions is excluded.
The latest General Terms and Conditions (GTC) are available on our website at all times. It is the customer's responsibility to check regularly for any changes, as we are not in a position to provide proactive information about such changes.

IV Regulations for customers from the United Kingdom and the Seychelles company
If a client from the UK manages to use our platform, the UK company will not deal directly with that client at any time. Instead, another company based in the Seychelles will automatically be appointed to deal with these clients. The UK company will not communicate directly with UK customers at any time and will not provide any services to these customers.
UK customers and active blocking: Despite our efforts to exclude UK customers from accessing our platform, there may be situations where such customers still gain access, for example through the use of VPNs or other methods.

The Seychelles company offers neither active management nor monitoring of client funds.
The Seychelles company acts exclusively for information purposes and does not provide any active trading or financial services.
Due to its purely informative activity, the Seychelles company does not require any special licenses or permits
Any contact with customers is limited to the exchange of purely informative content and does not include recommendations or advice.

It is made explicitly clear that no profit guarantees or other assurances regarding returns are given.
Customers bear personal responsibility for their actions and decisions and should always be aware that trading in financial instruments is associated with risks.
The Seychelles company has no influence on external trading platforms or brokers and accepts no liability for their actions.

V Force majeure
The Company accepts no liability for any delay, non-performance, failure or disruption of its obligations due to circumstances which it could not reasonably foresee or prevent. These circumstances are defined as "force majeure" and include, but are not limited to:
Labor disputes, strikes, industrial disputes or boycotts;
Legal or official measures, regulations or restrictions;

VI Legal succession regulations
Both Powertradingglobal and the client reserve the right to transfer their activities into other legal corporate forms, such as the establishment of companies. In such a case, the parties agree in advance on the transfer of these contractual provisions to the corresponding successor or replacement company or companies, whereby the aforementioned contractual obligations to provide services and consideration shall continue to apply. If this is not permitted in individual cases due to restrictions on contracts to the detriment of third parties, the parties undertake in advance to conclude identical GTCs with the cooperation partner when successor companies or companies are established, which correspond to the same contractual framework conditions. If such a succession arrangement is made in the first year of the contract term, the term of the contract will be credited against any contract to be concluded with the successor.

VII Confidentiality
The existence of international agreements or treaties between the countries involved has no influence on the enforceability of this clause.
Any breach of this confidentiality agreement may be reported and prosecuted in the courts of the United Kingdom, the Seychelles and also in the client's country of residence.
In the event of breaches of this confidentiality agreement, there is a lump-sum compensation claim of €25,000. Any distribution or public disclosure of image or video material, screenshots or information depicting internal systems or the internal performance of the software is prohibited without prior written consent.

No consent or waiver of any breach of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Powertradingglobal. Such written consent or waiver relates exclusively to the specifically named case and does not preclude action in accordance with the provisions in all other cases.
Accordingly, failure to enforce or tolerate any violation or noncompliance with these provisions shall not be deemed a waiver of future violations, nor a waiver.

X Confidential information
Confidential Information under this Agreement includes any information (whether oral, electronic, written, digital or in any other form) disclosed by Powertradingglobal to the Client or any of the Client's Affiliates for the Purpose. This is confidential information: Trade secrets, inventions, products, know-how, manufacturing processes, business relationships, business strategies, business plans, financial planning, personnel matters, digitally embodied information (data);
Any documents and information of the Participant that are subject to technical and organizational confidentiality measures and are marked as confidential or are to be considered confidential according to the nature of the information or the circumstances of the transmission; the existence of this Agreement and its content.

XI Independent contractors
Each Party confirms that it conducts its business activities independently of the other Party and is under no legal obligation to act in the interest of or at the direction of the other Party.
Both contractual partners act in an autonomous capacity. This contractual relationship does not constitute a joint venture, a partnership, an employment relationship or an agency relationship.

Each Party confirms that it conducts its business activities independently of the other Party and is under no legal obligation to act in the interest of or at the direction of the other Party.

XII Intellectual property, rights of use and exploitation
Insofar as the work results developed by the customer are protected by copyright, the customer hereby waives all rights in relation to the work results, taking into account the statutory provisions. The customer therefore grants the participant the exclusive, irrevocable, unlimited, transferable and unrestricted right of exploitation and use for all known and as yet unknown types of exploitation and use. This includes in particular the right to reproduce, transfer to image, sound and data carriers, distribute, edit, redesign or translate, publish and exploit the work results mentioned without the express consent of the cooperation partner, both in modified form and in the original. The participant is authorized to transfer this right in whole or in part to others or to grant rights of use to others without having to obtain separate consent from the customer in each case. This authorization shall also extend to any legal successors. The above provisions shall apply indefinitely beyond the termination of this contract.
All industrial property rights, copyrights, trademark rights, design rights, utility model rights and other intellectual property of a contracting party existing at the time of conclusion of the contract, in particular but not exclusively secret know-how, shall remain the exclusive property of the respective contracting party. In the absence of an express agreement to the contrary, the exclusive right of use and exploitation shall lie with the respective contracting party.
All work results achieved by the Client alone or jointly with other contractors during or in connection with the provision of services, including all notes, plans, formulas, concepts, technical improvements, inventions, trademarks, designs and utility models and other results, including confidential information (co-)developed by the cooperation partner (the "Work Results"), belong to the Client. This applies to both completed and unfinished work.
The work results may only be used by the cooperation partner for purposes other than the provision of services in accordance with this contract with the written consent of the client.
During the period of validity of this contract and also after its termination, the customer is obliged to support the party involved in the acquisition of property rights on request and to make all necessary declarations in this connection.
The client is obliged to disclose all work results that are eligible for protection to Powertradingglobal immediately.
All claims of the customer for remuneration for the transfer of the above-mentioned rights to the client are covered by the remuneration already stated. Notwithstanding mandatory statutory provisions, the customer shall have no claim to adjustment of the agreed remuneration or to payment of additional remuneration.

XIII Notifications
The company is not obliged to inform customers individually about changes or other relevant information, as we do not have any direct contact details of customers. Customers are responsible for regularly checking our website for updates and changes.
Customers wishing to contact or inform the Company must send their notifications to the e-mail addresses specified in the GTCs. Such notification shall only be deemed to have been received and accepted when the Customer receives confirmation from the Company. If no confirmation is received within a reasonable period of time, the Customer is encouraged to contact the Company again via the contact form on the Website.
The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the above provisions are binding for notifications.

XIV Confidentiality obligations
All contracting parties undertake to maintain confidentiality regarding all knowledge obtained within the scope of this cooperation. This applies in particular to information about the customer's business activities and customer contacts on the one hand and the support services and shared knowledge of the cooperation partner on the other.
This confidentiality obligation extends specifically to all economic aspects of the customer's business activities as well as to any claims resulting from them by the cooperation partner. Information and documents relating to this may only be passed on to persons who are subject to statutory or professional confidentiality obligations, such as members of the tax or legal advisory professions. This obligation to maintain confidentiality shall remain in force beyond the termination of the contract.
Protection against competition
During the term of the contractual cooperation, the customer is prohibited from carrying out its activities in the name and/or for the account of third parties in accordance with the anti-money laundering regulations, from participating in comparable activities of third parties - irrespective of the legal form - or from establishing independent companies in other corporate forms. This applies unless additional contractual agreements ensure that the customer also receives remuneration for sales generated via these third parties, companies or corporations in accordance with the provisions of the "Remuneration" section.

XV Contract term and termination modalities
The contract for copy trading or PAMM has a fixed minimum term of 45 trading days. It is not possible to terminate the contract prematurely during this period.
If a customer wishes to terminate the contract after the minimum term has expired, this is only possible by means of an express written notification. Official communication takes place via the e-mail address info@Powertradingglobal.com.
Upon receipt of the termination e-mail, the responsible department will send a confirmation of the termination to the customer. Only upon receipt of this confirmation will the termination be considered accepted and processed.

XVI Fees
Broker fees: Apart from the Powertradingglobal fees, the client may pay fees to the broker in the form of spreads and lot commissions. These fees are set directly by the broker and may vary.
Powertradingglobal fees: The use of Powertradingglobal services is subject to a fee of 25%. However, this fee can be modified by individual agreements, notified offers or increased deposits. Detailed information on these fees and possible adjustments are set out in the contractual document with the broker.
Modification of broker fees: In certain situations, Powertradingglobal reserves the right to adjust fees in cooperation with brokers in order to achieve improved conditions for clients. Such adjustments will be communicated transparently and will only come into effect after appropriate advance notice.
Best execution: Powertradingglobal always strives to negotiate the most advantageous fees with brokers in order to trade in the best interest of all parties. Nevertheless, Powertradingglobal cannot guarantee that the fees set by the broker are always the most cost-effective in the market.
Disclosure: It is essential that all fees, both those of Powertradingglobal and those of the broker, are clear and transparent to the client. Clients should familiarize themselves thoroughly with the respective fee structures before using Powertradingglobal's services

XVII Separability in consideration of priority
As a rule, these Powertradingglobal terms and conditions do not take precedence over the terms and conditions of the partner broker. Clients trade via the broker, deposit money there independently and must connect to all services independently, accepting the respective terms and conditions.
Both parties recognize that it is important to all parties that in the event that any part of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as Powertradingglobal's terms and conditions do not conflict with those of the Partner Broker.
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
If such amendment is not possible, the relevant provision shall be deemed severable to the extent necessary for the remaining provisions of this Agreement to remain valid and effective.

XVIII Disclaimer
Unless otherwise justified, claims for damages by the customer, including claims against representatives and vicarious agents of the provider, are excluded.
Excluded from this are claims for damages due to injury to life, limb, health or essential contractual obligations that are necessary for the mandatory achievement of the contractual objective.the user uses the material and/or information provided on the website and thereby agrees that it is general teaching material. Neither the provider nor any of its members shall be held liable for any damage or loss caused by the content provided.
The above exclusion does not apply to claims for damages based on grossly negligent or intentional breach of duty by the provider, its legal representative or vicarious agent. Trading in foreign exchange, futures, options and spot foreign exchange involves a high degree of risk. Users should be aware of the risks and be prepared to accept them. Borrowing money to trade is strongly discouraged and only money that can be lost should be traded. No representation is made as a financial analyst. Profits or losses discussed on this website or in the materials provided are not a guarantee of future results. Past performance is not an indicator of future results.

XIX Retention and surrender of documents, return of property
During the term of this contract, the client must return all documents and records that it has received or created from Powertradingglobal in connection with the fulfillment of the contract immediately upon request. The deletion of all data and software, including the source and object code, must also be carried out promptly upon request. If the contract is terminated, deletion and surrender must be carried out without prior request. This includes the return of any work equipment that the participant may have provided for the contractual services or other property of Powertradingglobal that is in the possession of the client. No right of retention shall be asserted. The complete return of all documents and the deletion of all program copies and data on all storage media must be confirmed in writing. All information and documents that the client has received or created in connection with the provision of Powertradingglobal's services must be appropriately protected against access by unauthorized third parties. Any work equipment and other resources provided by the participant that are in the possession of the client must be treated with care and safeguarded insofar as they are necessary for the performance of the contractual services.

XX Termination conditions
At the end of the minimum contract term or in the case of a given special right of termination, a customer can terminate the contract by sending an email to info@Powertradingglobal.com. The company reserves the right to terminate the contract if the customer, without good reason, publicly portrays the company in a negative light or engages in misconduct such as threats or insults towards employees. Such behavior will be reported in accordance with the legal requirements of the customer's country of residence.
The company is entitled to terminate the contract if legal, compliance or other risks arise for our company or if we are requested to do so by authorities or a higher power. The notice period is 5 days (an average within the time frame you specify). Confirmation from the company is required for a termination to take effect. If no confirmation is received, the customer will be asked to resubmit the termination via the contact form on the website. The handling of data after termination is subject to the data protection provisions of the partner broker. The company itself does not store any customer data.
All confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements remain in force even after termination. Fees that have already been paid are non-refundable. There is no influence on deposits, as these are deposited with the partner broker and are not under the control of the company.

If third parties or customers discover a suspected infringement of intellectual property on our platform, please notify us immediately at info@powertradingglobal.com.
Powertradingglobal reserves the right to collect and use images, media or other materials from users or participants in events. The exact conditions and uses of these materials will be set out in separate agreements.

All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, excluding the laws relating to the international sale of goods. The conditions and effects of the retention of title shall be governed by the law of the place where the goods are located, unless the choice of English law is invalid or ineffective.

XXV Transfer
Powertradingglobal reserves the right to transfer rights and obligations under these General Terms and Conditions to third parties if this is necessary for the business model or for legal reasons. Such a transfer does not affect the client's rights under these General Terms and Conditions.
The client acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a court ruling that Powertradingglobal requires its own General Terms and Conditions, the obligations and rights described herein shall not be automatically transferred to Powertradingglobal, but shall remain primarily with the partner broker.

XXVI Return of confidential information
The parties undertake to return all documents that have been exchanged between them in the course of development and other activities to the respective information provider immediately after they have become public knowledge following termination of the declaration of intent in accordance with Section 1 sentence 1 or upon termination of the cooperation agreement. (Note: If the confidential information also contains personal data, it should be noted that deviating regulations for deletion may be required in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, in particular Art. 17). At the request of the Participant, the Cooperation Partner shall confirm in writing that it has completely and irrevocably deleted all Confidential Information in accordance with the provisions of the above sections and the instructions of the Participant.
The electronically stored confidential information shall be destroyed by complete and irrevocable deletion of the files or irretrievable destruction of the data carrier. The complete and irrevocable deletion of electronically stored confidential information means that this information is deleted in such a way that any access to it becomes impossible. Special deletion procedures (e.g. by means of "wiping") must be used for this, which comply with recognized standards, such as those laid down by the Federal Office for Information Security. With the exception of confidential information for which there is a retention obligation pursuant to para. 2, confidential information for which technical implementation is not possible is exempt from destruction or return. This may apply, for example, to information that has been stored in a backup file due to an automated electronic backup system for securing electronic data. This also includes the technically required retention of master data (e.g. personnel or customer numbers), which is necessary to establish a link to the archived information. At the request of the Participant and irrespective of this at the latest after the purpose has been achieved, the Cooperation Partner shall return or destroy all confidential information including all copies within ten (10) working days of receipt of the request or after completion of the project (including electronically stored confidential information), unless there are previously agreed or statutory retention obligations that conflict with this.

XXVII Severability clause
Should one or more provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In place of the invalid or unenforceable provision, the parties agree to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a provision that comes closest to the parties' intentions and is legally permissible; in the event that a provision in these terms and conditions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the parties undertake to negotiate in good faith to replace such a provision with a legally enforceable and valid substitute provision. This replacement provision shall correspond as closely as possible to the economic purpose of the original provision. The adjustment or replacement shall be made in a manner that best preserves the original objective and purpose of these General Terms and Conditions. This also applies to any loopholes.

XXVIII Rights of use and exploitation
The cooperation partner is obliged to refrain from any commercial exploitation or imitation of the confidential information outside the agreed purpose.

XXIX Recommendation program
Customers have the opportunity to participate in Powertradingglobal's referral program. Within this program, customers can promote our products and possibly benefit from a reward or other advantages.
Customers may not pass off our content as their own or represent it as being an official representation or part of Powertradingglobal unless expressly authorized in writing.
Contracts under the referral program are concluded via the partner broker. Customers must therefore also have read and understood the GTCs and other relevant terms and conditions of the partner broker, as these may stipulate separate and supplementary terms and conditions governing the business relationship.
The exact conditions for possible remuneration or other benefits from the referral program are defined separately and may be updated from time to time. It is the customer's responsibility to check regularly for potential changes.
Powertradingglobal accepts no responsibility for breaches of contract caused by the partner broker. Likewise, we are not liable for claims arising from actions or omissions of customers within the framework of the referral program if they violate these GTC or the terms and conditions of the partner broker.
